Memorial Park At 6501 Memorial Dr.
Tumbleweed_Tx replied to themidtownguy's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
While moving my (not quite as) fat (as before) carcass around Memorial Park yesterday, I caught this in action... Then I decided the best way to go around the track is clockwise - that way, you don't have to look at The Astoria on that stretch of the trail.. But then again, wanting to get out of that thing's sight range should be good motivation to go faster.... Oh, at the trail is moving about 100' to the north where they are building the tunnels, they need to move the mountain of dirt first.- 635 replies

Historic Houston Car Dealers And Repair Shops
Tumbleweed_Tx replied to Subdude's topic in Historic Houston
It may have been Alfa. I know it wasn't Fiat since they pulled out of the US market in '82, taking Lancia with them. The remaining Lancia Betas and Zagatos were sold by the people who started Overstock.com, by the way. They were based near Columbus Ohio, there were a lot of Lancias roaming those streets. I can only recall a few Lancias here, Stan's scary AF Scorpion, Chaucer's Beta, and a dude named Rodney in Dallas who stuffed a modern motor in one 20 years ago... Now there's a kid (hah, kid, he's in his 30s) who imported a racing Delta, and there was a Stratos in Houston for a while. I know, it's greek to y'all, take it to the mirafiori forum.. lol -

the Chequer Imports sign is still there, with the Lancia and TVR signs still intact. -
Historic Houston Car Dealers And Repair Shops
Tumbleweed_Tx replied to Subdude's topic in Historic Houston
I helped form the local Fiat club 20 years ago, and we never had a Yugo owner as a member for the 10 years I was around... The guy who had the Yugo parts place was Jay, he started out on Jones Rd near 1960, then moved to Eldridge Road somewhere north of 1960. I had the misfortune of meeting him the day after Clinton bombed the Zastava factory. I'm like, dude, i just need a hood for my Spider, I don't need the long rant... lol -
Drewery Place: Multifamily High-Rise At 2850 Fannin St.
Tumbleweed_Tx replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
the "points" at Pennzoil Place may look cool from the outside, but they are wasted space inside. You can't do anything with them except make them storage or mechanical areas- 1,569 replies

Memorial Park At 6501 Memorial Dr.

that mound looks like it's about 10% of the dirt needs for this project -
a team village would be the perfect place for the train.

huge parking lots are required in a development like this. The concert venue going inside is a 5000 seater, there's not enough parking in the area when you add in the needs of the theater district.- 1,574 replies

suits are dumb in Texas where it's 100° and 100% humidity at midnight. In places like NYC and London where a hot summer day is 70°, they're ok.

that looks like why they put the frame around it, to not damage what is already there.
