Are there any sites out there like Monster, Hotjobs, etc that allow you to search for a job in a SPECIFIC area of a certain city rather than just the whole town. so if i were job hunting, i might only want to consider jobs that were located on say the southeast side of town. is there any place where i can do that without looking at every listing and trying to figure out where specifically the company is located? something like a har.com but for jobs

it's under 288 now EDIT: the address was 2314 mac gregor

i dont have any friends boo hoo. nah...the whole fam damily is going and the wife will pack enough stuff for a month and then we have all the assorted kid paraphanalia and car seats. so for this case it is easier just to drive our own vehicle up there. plus we are coming from friendswood. thanks for bumping my thread though

i usually fly out of hobby, so i am very familiar with all the lot choices there. it has been several years since i have flown out of IAH and then i parked at the city lot (parking cents). I am about to go out of town for a week. where should i park? i have a coupon for the parking spot that makes their rate cheaper than parking cents. and i have seen other lots online that are cheaper than that (speedpark is one). uncovered is fine. cheap is fine, but when i return i dont want to be waiting for their shuttle to pick me up for 2 hours. thanks in advance.

The building just north (ne) of the Tenneco/ElPaso building. check out the 6.jpg file, it is just behind the Tenneco bldg. it is now the surface lot where the new Bank of the Southwest Tower was to be built.

I think you are talking about the old Oil and Gas Building (1937- 1971). Here is a link to its listing on the houston deco page: http://www.houstondeco.org/1930s/oilgas.html

Mr. Truxillo would be familiar with the old Magnolia Brewery downtown (since he owns it) I don't think he has been involved with any structures in Magnolia Park (the east side addition)

Are you talking about Evergreen Cemetery?? not exactly RIGHT across the street or is there another cemetery near Jackson MS?

Houston: Then and Now is a good coffee table book. Has a historic photos on the left pages and then current photos of the area on the facing page.

The map cemeterywolf has on his webpage is also in Houghton's book Houston's Forgotten Heritage. Her citation lists it as from the Palmer Hutcheson Jr. Papers. (Junior League Component, Houston Metropolitan Research Center, & HPL) Her book also has a small copy of a 1909 promotion ad for Magnolia park. In the text of the book, she doesn't mention the municipality or its city hall. She only discusses Brady and the eventual development of the addition

http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/...es/MM/hvm6.html Magnolia Park, near the Houston Ship Channelqv in eastern Harris County, is one of Houston's oldest Hispanic neighborhoods. It was laid out in 1890 on a 1,374-acre site belonging to Thomas M. Brady, on Harrisburg Road across Bray's Bayou from Harrisburg and seven miles downstream from Houston. It was named for the 3,750 magnolias that developers planted there. The community became an independent municipality in 1909. Though whites first inhabited the town, Mexican Americansqv from South Texas began arriving by 1911, first settling in the area filled by sand dredged from the turning basin and known as El Arenal or the Sands.

I thought that if streets were private that they would show up on the hcad plat maps labeled as pvt. (Farnham Park does not) it would seem that the private owner of a street (e.g. home owners association) should be taxed on the land with the road (since it is private property).

you are right. unfortunately it was leveled a couple of years ago.

have you looked under your asbestos siding? you might get lucky and have your original wood underneath. Sometimes they put other siding right over the top. you might be able to pull off the asbestos and save your original wood.

Do you need to go back to 7th grade and repeat Texas history?? Manuel Lorenzo Justiniano de Zavala y S

what i remember most about tg&y - as a kid - was the large wireframe bin stacked full of those thick balloons with the rubber bands on the end to bounce against your fist. those and it seems like they had a lot of hippety-hoppies too (the balls with the handle on top that you sit on)

looks great...i have been wondering what was going up there. i could be wrong but i dont think there was an Office City building there. The Office City complex is south of Woodridge

c'mon Windex is a miracle cure for everything!

I think the handwipes are common now...even the Kroger on Bellfort has them...you know to wipe off fingerprints from things.

I wonder what the shortest street in houston that is still as long (or short) as it was when created? that was not truncated when a freeway or some other change happened.

i will second George's.

so what style of house is it? MCM? georgian? hmmm. do you think the listing of an older owner is intentional? Like in case someone gets upset they won't seek out retribution of the new owner?

interesting...doesn't look like it is a Staub house. If the hcad year is correct (50's), maybe some of the MCM guys know if it is significant. Btw...hcad already shows a new owner after merrett (as shown on the permit above)

Musicman's tree name poll made me think of this question to poll. This year we have a real tree. We own an artificial tree and have used it for the past several years but this year I wanted a real one. Well actually I want a real one every year but the wife likes the artificial since we already own it and it has a perfect shape etc. I made us get a real one this year. Something about the smell i guess i like and then growing up we had real one's (except for when i was a baby when we had the aluminum tree with the rotating light thing)
