    One methed out tweeker damaged 28 cars sufficiently fast enough as not to be caught. Don't think so. Sounds like a group effort.

    That house was demolished and replaced by a bath house . The "witches hat" was at the architural antiques place on Westheimer for a time, don't know where it ended up.

    A little UST (un-resolved sexual tension) going on?

    Excellent question. I guess if they can get the taxpayer to subsidize their business, why not?

    Wonder what the cost would be to buy out just the Houston location? Anyone know how to find out?

    The NYMets stadium deal seems like a good go by. The Mets foot the bill for the stadium and the government entities do the necessary infrastructure improvements (roads, subway lines etc.).

    Oh joy, all we are missing is a pay-day loan place and a dry cleaners. Guess I'm not getting the HEB I was hoping for.

    Funny you should mention 24HR. Fitness (or any gym). Back in the day (I'm showing my age here) I remember people actually smoking in gyms. Do a set, have a smoke, repeat as necessary. Actually, even smoking at my desk at work seems so odd to me now. It's only been about 15 years since that went away.

    Like Sam's WH but a little nicer IMO.

    A bar called Jefferie's tried that. Smoking only on the patio. They lasted about a month.

    Well I shouldn't say "all" of the Heights. My block/subdivision definitely was and most of the Heights West of the Blvd. near Sunset was also. Actually, I think most of the Heights West of the Blvd. was intended as 25' lots w/alley access. Let me re-state the above. My area (20th near Shepherd) definately was platted for 25' lots. I'm just making assumptions on other areas in the Heights west of the Blvd.

    To clarify. 25' lots were the norm when the Heights was platted. That was the developers intention.

    Good idea but it is not practical. What are the odds that this city-backed fund would ever get a fair sales price? What's to stop developers from threatening demolition just to be able to flip their property for an inflated price?

    And if it was a historical landmark that doesn't mean squat in Houston anyway. The Ashland Tea House is a perfect example of that.

    Crickets has wonderful Gelato. But their hours leave something to be desired.

    I don't go to CVS because they ask if you have a CVS card. Yeah like I need another card in my wallet to go with the Kroger, Randalls, Vallero coffee card..........

    I read in the Chronicle that the boys father was arrested for a misdemeanor offense, jailed for a time then deported. The boy that got killed and his siblings are U.S. citizens.

    There was a review in The Voice on it. It mentioned it was on the "industrial" side of 19th Street so I'm assuming it is on 19th, West of Durham. The review was kind of good but it mentioned the eclectic menu. You can get a fried rice side with your po-boy

    When the property that housed the "Mausoleum" on lower Westheimer was listed on HAR it said that it was an old Hughes residence. Not sure if Howard ever lived there though.

    Wonder if they will be docking at the "port of Dallas" also?
  21. west20th
    Don't know why, that statement just strikes me as funny.

    Majority doesn't always rule. As much as George W. touts it when invading another country we are not a Democracy. Aren't minorities protected from the the "tyranny of the majority"? That being said, I'd have to say a ban in bars doesn't make sense. It's not like the overly health conscious hang out in bars anyway. Myself, if the smoke is too bad I'll go to an ice house and sit outside.

    The best analogy I've heard (can't rememeber the source): Having smoking sections indoors is like having peeing sections in pools.

    Do your personal freedoms extend to where they interfere with my personal freedoms?

    Not to mention you walked twice as far to get the groceries and waited twice as long in line to check-out. I hope it is patterned after the San Felipe store.
