    those photos are fantastic!

    the huge dense crowd is what makes the parade what it is - spread it out downtown, and that'll be lost. and corporate sponsors are nothing new
  4. sevfiv
    oh, you're probably right about that, but it would still be nice in my opinion, instead of the new stuff

    interesting pool... http://search.har.com/engine/indexdetail.c...mp;backButton=Y

    it would be great if some folks could do more flipping/rehabbing in the binz/southmore/blodgett area between main and almeda. there are some nice medium size and large homes that are either starting to decline while inhabited (slumlords) or others getting bulldozed and replaced with townhomes...

    will try for a store manager next... my email to corporate was more about their future plans for that location. i would have *assumed* that any history they may have of the store would be on the sears archive site - but who knows of course - there is nothing about houston on it at all

    well, got a response: Thank you for contacting Sears Holdings Corporation. At this time, we do not have any information regarding the rennovation of the Sears store located on Main Street in Houston, Texas. Thank you for taking the time to contact us. We value you as a Sears Holdings Corporation customer, and we truly intend to provide you with the best possible customer service. Sincerely, National Customer Relations Sears Holdings Corporation

    thanks for the picture - taken from the marriott?
  13. sevfiv
    any idea what became of the sign after the donation? _____________ i recently emailed Sears about the store on main st. we'll see what they say (if anything)
  14. sevfiv
    are there any available shots of the west with the facade?
  15. sevfiv
    this is a little off, but it reminded me of a picture i took back in early 2003 - i haven't noticed recently if this is still there or what it actually was - i think it reads "1016-B rusk" (which wold be right around rusk and main) looks like an industrial door...
  16. sevfiv
    yeah - the sears is located at 4000 n shepherd, and garden oaks theater (church) was (is) at 3750 last time i drove by the light wasn't good, but it looked very toned down - the marquee is still there, though

    from memory i can't say - although i do remember it looking rather generic oddly enough, while doing a chronicle archive search, there's another (newer) aragon ballroom: Two months ago, Cantu's dream came true. On Oct. 7, he and his wife, Maria, won $28 million in the Texas Lotto. Despite the financial bonanza, Pedro Cantu still runs the family-owned Cantu Moving and Storage business on Houston's north side, and the Cantus still live in the same modest Fifth Ward dwelling. But Pedro, with the good wishes of Maria, is charting a slightly new course for his life -- that of a boxing promoter in Houston, a city that over the last 20 years has proved to be a graveyard for others with similar aspirations. Tonight at 7:30 in the Aragon Ballroom (Hillcroft at South Main), Cantu Promotions Inc. will stage its first event. this was from the 12.02.94 issue of the chronicle

    definitely gather like-minded folks and make separate complaints... we have a loud motorcycle and a few vehicles that rattle the house with their sound systems, and while usually a daily irritation, they are pretty transient and not very predictable, so there's not much to be done about it btw - i have never been on a motorcycle like that - if the vibrations can shake an entire house, i wonder what it's like to straddle it?

    more from bob bailey: http://www.cah.utexas.edu/db/dmr/dmr_resul...p;Submit=Submit
  20. sevfiv
    that was the delman theater - the bob bailey collection has a few neat pictures: http://www.cah.utexas.edu/db/dmr/dmr_resul...p;Submit=Submit it was demolished in June of 2002

    i wish - weingarten is just letting this idle and die - then they'll resurrect by knocking it down in the middle of the night (or something of the like) i just wish they weren't so underhanded about things - i would think opposition would be met better when it isn't crooked
  22. sevfiv
    oh...geez nothing like pyrotechnics to get the appetite going
  23. sevfiv
    yep, and here's a matchbook from the milby - no address on it, but the directory listed it at 902 texas, and the barber shop at 607 travis
  24. sevfiv
    turns out it probably came from toyota center. not sure why - the aeros lost a friend said that the streets were filled with smoke (from the fireworks, presumably) and there were firetrucks, etc by the time i was in the area it was all over, but i could hear the bangs from the dunlavy/westheimer area who knows, though - might have been a real fire by toyota center!
  25. sevfiv
