Does anyone know where to find antique mortise lock sets? Adkins used to have a whole room full of them. I'm aware of the Salvage Warehouse, but am hoping for something open to the public without a membership.

These houses look amazing, but all I really want to know is if there are closable doors to all the bedrooms and bathrooms. It seems like so many otherwise well-designed homes have decided that this is now optional.

These are all lovely opinions, but here are the cold, hard statistics, as compiled by a solid local NGO: http://childrenatrisk.org/research/school-rankings/houston/

Scroll towards the bottom of the page and you can download their data on all Houston schools as an excel file.

There was an HEB in the Heights (11 Street and Rutland). They built a brand new store and then left. The building was torn down and there is now a bank on the property. Obviously HEB deemed The Heights not profitable.

I had been wondering what the story was on that corner, and why a bank branch would need ~100 parking spots. I mean, who actually goes to the bank anymore?

Maybe slightly off topic, but a cafe just opened up in the long-vacant center next to the jacked up house. It's called Lola's, and served a pretty decent breakfast when I went. Only problem: now spending way too much time in establishments named Lola's. You know the one I'm talking about.

Every time I washed my car there I was accosted by aggressive panhandlers. They didn't seem to get that you pay by the minute at those places, and I didn't want to stop and listen to their pitch. The machines never worked anyway. I'm pretty sure it was a mafia front (car washes are great for laundering money)

These may not be very heightsy, but

North Boulevard?

Rice University?

A cyclone fence just went up around it. Could the bulldozers be on the way?

Remember, there were 2 Jeff Davis hospitals, and the first is now the Elder Street Artist Lofts.

Where was the other Jeff Davis hospital?
