Typical Houston conservatism...Reliant and Toyota Center are very bland and nothing like our Dallas counterparts when it comes to the AA Arena or Cowboy Stadium. Looks like more effort was put into Minute Maid. We'll see about the Dynamo
The Texans gameday atmosphere is pretty boring also
the sound in cowboys stadium is horrible.....just ask the people at the superbowl how they liked cowboys stadium.....standing in massive lines to get inside.....only a few entrances that allow you to get to specific areas where your seats are.....the inability to walk around the stadium if you happen to enter at the wrong entrance
and the AAC in dallas has been slammed for having very narrow concourses and being very crowded inside and difficult to move around
typical dallas......all style over substance......if the AAC was so great.....they would not be hosting major basketball games at the football stadium......and ask anyone that was at the Houston Superbowl and the dallas superbowl which stadium they would go back to.....it will be Houston by a mile

Last week, some neighbors reported seeing surveyors on the property. I believe Moody National is behind on property tax payments to our dear city. The City has to lay off police and firemen, Brett Moody lives in a multi-million-dollar mansion.
PAY YOUR PROPERTY TAXES MOODY NATIONAL!
Individuals are generally not liable for taxes owed by corporations

lets stop kidding ourselves
just about EVERYTHING was cool about Houston in the 80s.......what a great time period in history and what an even greater place to experience it.....even in the bad times Houston still kicked ass in the 80s!

Randall's didn't sell alcohol until Safeway bought the chain.
A good way to get rich in the 70's and 80's was to open a liquor store next door to Randall's!
actually since you can't sell liquor in grocery stores in Texas you still see liquor stores next to grocers.....the beer sales were just a bonus for those by Randalls
and safeway SUCKS.....the only thing I like about safeway is that my great grand mother used to live near one in Arlington and called it "safetyway"......while the one by our house in Houston that was at the corner of Briar Forest and Wilcrest was a hell hole we called dangerway
I believe it was originally built as a safetyway and the building probably still has that rock/pebble wall finish near the doors that all the safetyways I know had
the only interesting story to come from there (other than it was always trashed because of the nearby apartment dwellers) is one time some friends of mine and their dad drove their cushman scooter over there just for fun to get a few things and while my friends were waiting in the scooter some guy came by and ask "hey do you mind if I take a piss over here".........my friend were like no go for it......so he did
got to love safeway.....they SUCK!

Numbers closing would be a final nail in the coffin of Houston's hoppin' club days.
I never knew it until I went off to college, but Houston's music and club scene in the 1980s was cutting edge. Had a lot of firsts at Numbers and I am sure I am not the only one.
I'll forever miss Numbers/NRG/Power Tools/ EMOS-SOME/Red Square/ Record Rack/ etc...
don't forget what was Hippo's that turned into 6400 (6400 Richmond) and then when it burned (a lot of 80s clubs in Houston seemed to burn huh) there was "The New 6400" that was further east on the north side of Richmond

wasn't there a location at Gessner and Westheimer on the north east side....what ever store it was had a "signature" peaked roof that all their stores had and at this particular location after you checked out the sacker took your cart of groceries over to the west side of the building through a little waiting area and you got your car and drove up under a large awning and held up your number and the sacker came out with your stuff and loaded it in

I grew up two stones throws to the west down Olympia from there

there is the Chili's that closed after a month of being opened.....after the remodeled the former space that held the old restaurant that had closed about a year after opening
and again typical dallas.....going to sporting events to see restrooms, "cool bars", and amenities instead of actually going to see the game
