Wasn't Texas A&M studying how to build a cargo guideway from PoH to Dallas-Fort Worth?

Some folks spend their entire lives trying to 'make it' and doing what it take... a shared goal is being able to kick back and relax and enjoy. However is the creative folks are left out of the whole process, those who 'make it' have little to enjoy.

I've been out of this loop for a long time, so please indulge me a minute....  Is this light rail corridor still up in the air?  It's going to happen, for sure, right, well beyond the Galleria?  Is the route mostly confirmed and just getting the enviro-study?  I was following the deal when the Afton Oaks roadblock/detour first started -- and that seems like forever-ago.  So frustrating!

Houston's kickin-ass!

Giant step forward.  

Wow, this is great!

How bizarre

TMC versus Uptown is a weird comparison, and probably started just because they were the parts of Dallas and Houston really growing, building on the relative uniqueness within all South Central US cities....

To me, the value of this boom-hood discussion is anecdotal evidence that Houston and Dallas are becoming less similar cities.

Of all of the MLB teams added during expansion (from 1961 to the present) ... 14 expansion teams.

MLB needs more teams!!

The intrastate rivalry will be worth the move, for me.

I'd love to see the Astros and Rangers in the same division:

Houston Astros heading to American League?

by Emily Wilkinson

October 12, 2011

... the key area of dispute in recent weeks has been the proposed American League move.

A move to the American League would put the Astros in the same league as intrastate rival Texas Rangers...

Here's another article about the proposed move:

Yao went WNBA

HaHaHa!

I really really really want the Rockets to beat the Lakers.

Washington Avenue got a "Street Smart" page in January's Texas Monthly. The ten business highlights makes me think it's the kind of place I would like in Houston.

This is going to be great!

Say Mark, have you got that same chart with an inflation adjustment?

That would be cool.

This merger would be a pretty unusual thing, right, doesn't happen very often...?

I've always thought the best thing about Dallas is Fort Worth, and that the best thing about Fort Worth is Dallas.

according to the texas transportation institute, from 1982 to 2005, Dallas' congestion seems to have grown. if the system was effective I would think the opposite would be occurring. their study says total delay growth in dallas is just under NY, LA and chicago for that 23 yr timeframe.

TTI study

Dallas' congestion would have decreased due to highly efficient train service only if the population had grown very little. However, between 1982 and 2005, the population on the Dallas area (not including Fort Worth) pretty much doubled.

Can I change my answer to Dallas?

I'm so jealous. I got so totally spoiled by the delicious dumpling availability in Southern California (Pho too), then relocated to the Atlanta area which suffers a serious dumpling drought (Pho too).

Sweet deck dude

my friend tami who's an atlanta native says ghetto

ghetto means different things to different people, what does it mean to you?

Ya, Ron Paul is a true conservative. It's disturbingly funny that so many people associate Ronald Reagan economic policies as anti-Socialism. Supply-side economics and the Trickle Down Theory are anti-Capitalism. Supporters for the political adgenda of the Christian Coalition (et al) are much more align with Communism than the ACLU. Oh well, whatever, politics is one of those necessary fools games.

I think the Amarillo Art Museum (part of Amarillo College?!?!) has a couple of her paintings, and they would probably be a good resource for time-in-the-Panhandle information as well.

Please don't post excerpts from Suburban Nation. That book makes a highly convincing argument for market-driven suburbanization--the author just doesn't seem to realize it.

HaHaHaHa I love that book - it has a lot of entertainment value.

The guys behind Suburban Nation did a good job to write something that a lot of people would buy. The eventual disappointment by so many of their readers will be unfortunate as these folks realize they have enthusiastically embraced suppositional text as postulates upon which cities should be planned.
