  1. Sevfiv, the design of your website is really clean and beautiful. Well done. I look forward to seeing more.

    thank you :blush:

    i have a prototype for a new design made, but it is about the same - just more grey than black.

    the main struggle is classifying everything - i have a ton of stuff in the queue just waiting to go online, but i need to get my menus straightened out and have things cross-categorized (chronological / geographical / architectural type, etcetera).

    since i use alot of php and css, it is relatively easy to change it once in a while, though.

  2. Is it St. Louis' arch?

    that is a really neat shot of the gateway arch. i'm driving to st. louis next week - i'll have to remember to go by there and get vertigo :blush:

    the link in my signature is something i've been working on for years now, but have never had too much time to devote to it. now that i have more free time, i am overhauling it again - new layout and more material

  3. Hey Sevfiv, when were you at Horn? I was there from 1957 to 1960. We had temporary buildings toward the back of the campus - that's where grades 4 through 6 were housed. The class next door to mine painted a map of South America on the wooden floor.

    ha! there were temporary buildings then, too. i was there quite a bit later, and elective classes were held in in a few of the buildings adjacent to a playground. i had been by there recently, and things just looked...different (could be because my perspective has changed, too - everything was tiny! :P)

  4. is a get together going to happen for 2007??

    where did the other one take place? if that was successful maybe we can keep the location and day constant, and just set-up new ones every month? just a suggestion...this is how car meets are done :)

    but if one of these are to happen i'm in :)

    one was at kelvin arms, and another at berryhill in the heights (right?) - i don't have the best memory

  5. our fifth grade class buried a time capsule, and i honestly had forgotten about it until i read this thread.

    it is somewhere near a playground at Horn Elementary. I think the layout of the open spaces has changed over the years, though, so there maybe be one of those temp trailers on top of it by now :blush:

  6. i went to warren's yesterday evening, and it was pretty calm. by the time i left though, the streets were quite busy (most of the women though, imo, looked like they were on their way to work at a strip club - or the street, perhaps) :blink:icon8.gif

  7. a HAIF-car - interesting

    as far as corporate sponsorship, it is impossible to avoid. pennzoil used to be the big one, but there was a backlash (they wanted more pennzoil in everything, if i remember correctly).

    the parade has grown so much over the years, and in turn, so have the operating costs

  8. The city of Houston also released a letter saying Weingarten has not sought any requests to build the parking garage that will span from McDuffie St. to Shepherd. Also, B&N has not made any formal decision to lease at River Oaks, either.

    Problem is, Weingarten is plowing full-steam ahead on these plans, not minding anything else. The turn out at Three Brothers Bakery (who has been given the boot by Weingarten) was good, and helped to spread the word a little bit, but Weingarten has the $ >:) $, and that's all that's going to matter, it seems

  9. The Parks department estimates $100,000+ for replacing the 264 bulbs and bronze canisters

    "Currently we do not have funding identified to order the replacement," says Estella Espinosa, department spokeswoman. "We plan to order it as soon as we get fiscal money for 2008, which will come in July." But that answer isn't sitting so well with nearby residents.

    "The museums have complained to the city, people at Warwick Towers have complained, other residents have complained," says Brown, who lives within walking distance of the fountain. "I think this is a sign there's something wrong with the way the city works."

  10. This themed tour should be neat - and of course i'm partial to it :blush:

    In the 1920s and 1930s, as Houston was beginning its transition from medium sized Southern city to major American metropolis, many local businessmen and civic leaders embraced a new,
