    so the Kombat Kroger is the new Disco Kroger?
  2. Tumbleweed_Tx
    Blame Canada, eh

    yeah, it looks like it's lighting fixtures and not strips, like they have at City Hall.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it's in Hermann Foundation's agreement with Memorial to keep the old building intact

    I see a lot of transmissions come apart, but i haven't seen one go back together... heh There's the old standbys, Vice Grip Garage, Uncle Tony's Garage (for the Mopar or No Car crowd), letsdig18 for those who like watching excavators work, Post10, Coldwarmotors, JonathanW for old cars and machinery, the boat the internet built SV Seeker, sreetips the gold and silver recycler, and all the watchmakers because you have to appreciate the workmanship of the old school watches. And, what happens when a car carrier rolls over and sinks in the St Simon Sound? You send a machine out to cut it into sections. The Minorcan Mullet Report does daily updates on the progress.

    this kind of reminds me of the Las Vegas Town Square, which is on Las Vegas Blvd south of 215. The only things this will have that LVTS doesn't have is residential units and the bayou. It's too close to the runway at McCarran for residential.

    Houston is a business town, not a flashy tourist trap town. The flashiest thing this city had for a while was that Enron E. They went bankrupt. remember the Microcache computer stores? The owner of that store bought the E, had it on display at his location, now he's out of business. Plus, someone here said that residents of Houston House complained about light pollution when they lit up the Wedge Building in that green neon. Leds are maintenance intensive if you buy the cheap crap, not so much of you buy the good stuff, which happens to be made waaaaay out here in Ft Bend County. A friend works for a TV station in the Northeast. He called me asked if I could have a look at their station's outdoor display. it was a great low-res wall when it was made in the late 90's, but getting parts for that system is next to impossible, so i had to pass. Imagine owning a building downtown, installing a million dollar LED display, having it go bad and need replacing in a few years. I'd go without, too.

    the construction barrier around the Square is a huge improvement over the old plaza :)

    there's 6 million people in this area? Has anyone hold those people to stop coming, we're full? heh

    puke. But, coming from their incompetent marketing department, I'm not surprised

    it's not as bad as this, but it's comparable. This is the Dresden Museum Of Military History.

    Greentown Labs sounds like a weed manufacturer.
  14. Tumbleweed_Tx
    nice

    they didn't think... ...it would be necessary to use mats. Usually, anything said after "I didn't think" is unnecessary.

    like this old Western Union switching building?
  17. Tumbleweed_Tx
    it's like they're giving it a very unflattering nose job

    I'm getting new tires tomorrow, will give this a spin on Sunday when I'm in the area

    also not exposed to explosives.... (yeah, watch the video in slo motion)

    I drove by this yesterday. I'm back on the 'it's estupid' train

    you have to remember that bride was built for Model T type cars, back when the Old Spanish Trail was the main east-west route in the southern US. It looks like a typical 1920's bridge, you can still find them all over the place, most have been decommissioned

    Wham Bam Tram didn't catch on (and they improved the roads around the train or stopped reporting accidents after the first few hundred), so it's just the train
  23. Tumbleweed_Tx
    that's the trailer... lol that reminds me, I need to call a bud who occasionally works there and find out if Robot's videos are still around

    the southern end of 130 is 45 miles from San Antonio. 45/610 S and 45/610 N intersections won't move.

    Thru traffic would go around downtown. That's enough of a difference to make a difference, even if it's only 20% of the traffic.
