  1. Rooms don't make the money for the large hotels, events do, so the more ballrooms they have, the higher the profits
  2. Oct of 86, yep. I hid behind the PA on Lemmy's side during the show, it was so fkn loud... LOL
  3. I worked at Cardis, Backstage, still at Warehouse, Fitz, HoB, wad just reminiscing about Motorhead and all the local shows with Lemmy, and I even did a short stint in a punk band called Green Jello..... heh
  4. Bens survived the first round of construction on that sidewalk, they're doing better this time around. There is another coffee shop opening up next to Salata in GS soon. Yay, more options for those of us sick of hob food. ..lol
  5. it's not the fins that make it ugly, it's the stone pebble panels and the crown that make it an eyesore. keep the fins, put all glass behind them, blend in the crown, and it will be a beauty.
  6. that pic is a few days old... this week, they knocked down that light post on the right, and poured concrete for a bus/truck cutout
  7. the apartments next door to the Fondren/Westheimer construction site are a cash cow for their owner. Plus, lower to middle income families need to live somewhere
  8. that's because Wells Fargo is in the center of the block, where Chase is in the corner of the block, with a huge plaza on the rest of the block.
  9. my mom was the owner of the Longhorn's secretary back in the 90's. One of the reasons why they moved from 507 Louisiana to The Park Shops is because the building was all eaten up with termites, and they were afraid of it collapsing.
  10. I must have gone by too early. wtf was I thinking, telling a friend I'd return something to him at 7:30 instead of making one of my minions do it instead... that's what they're there for.. .LOL
  11. Kind of like Gunspoint for Greenspoint...lol
  12. Signage. And a burger joint that is open early, but not on Sundays yet.
  13. I grew up in Huntington Village, 1975 to 87 when i went on the road with various punk and metal bands. HV fated better than most Alief neighborhoods, as there were fewer rental properties as compared to the rest of the area. The real estate crash ob 87 didn't affect HV much. The entire Alief area went to hell between 93 and 94... Former sister in law graduated from a mostly white Elsik in 93, former brother in law graduated from a mostly black Elsik in 94.... Alief has been in a downward spiral since. Ma and Pa moved out of HV in 97
  14. This building dominates the area because it is on the east side of the freeway. It would blend in on the west side. Now, The Post Oak. .. THAT will be the superstar west of 610, east of Post Oak. ...

Who approaches the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see. ROBIN Ask me the questions, bridge-keeper. I'm not afraid. KEEPER What is your name? ROBIN Sir Robin of Camelot. KEEPER What is your quest? ROBIN To seek the Holy Grail. KEEPER What is the capital of Assyria? ROBIN I don't know that! Auuuuuuuugh!
  16. They're filling in that hole? Why WAS that hole there, anyway?
