Here is a closer view of the ATT building on Fannin (minus the inlaid bell )

and one from the south:

Not much to see from the street, but here's a view from the driveway:

Looks like the Greenwood King sign was covered on one side by an Abercrombie Homeworks sign (though not sure how old that is):

The land is for sale for $3.5 million:

And we're now down to $548,000:

Large cleared corner lot in the heart of Meyerland. Available for sale or as a custom build with Granit Builders. Call for more information on build possibilities - plans available for a fabulous home.

Houck house (lot was subdivided but half is still empty I believe):

Serbin is having a hard time getting rid of the last half of that lot (Houck house was demolished 04/2007):

That lot right out front is still for sale, too ($500,000).

Speaking of lots:

Beautifully Landscaped lot perfect for redevelopment. The lot to the west was replatted and construction of fourteen townhomes has begun. The lot is fully fenced with many mature trees and functioning pool. The home is occuped and dogs are present. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WALK THE PROPERTY.

I think this house was discussed as being haunted in another thread.

If you want to carry more than keys, wallet, and a phone, there's nothing wrong with a guy carrying a bag. I don't know why there's such a macho stigma there.

Anyhow...for camera stuff, I like Domke bags - they also have messenger and other types, too:

I use the F-2 classic for my big camera and I love it. And it's simple (bags with 4856930863 little pockets get on my nerves).

Driving by this afternoon, I noticed that the two large signs facing 610 that had the South Pointe information were both erased (painted black)..

Folks, it doesn't do anyone any good to making sweeping generalizations about people (from both "sides"). It is tiring and nonconstructive.

I'm trying to make my way through the bill text, but it's a little...well, let's just say it isn't the best Friday morning reading

There used to be a Weingarten's Grocery at 1011 Prairie (northwest corner of Prairie and Fannin) but I think it's a parking lot now..

That most definitely has to be it - there's a watermark on the bridge, but not one of the big ones:

edit - here's a zoomed-out image where the bridge isn't watermarked:

More programs for those people who already think they dont get enough, but deserve more just for being in this country - legally or not.

You sure seem to have a finger closely on the pulse of those stupid poor people. How do you know so much about them? (them = a pretty diverse set of people).

$50.

That seems about right (for one-time reproduction, though).

Copyright stinks when it come to stuff like this (as in a second/third/etc owner of materials owning copyright).

Yeah, corporate rates are usually double the nonprofit rate. Too bad - can you tell us the invoiced cost?
