  1. Usually Michael Graves' work is OK to excellent. This building-however colorful it may be, [and I'm all for more color in architecture] completely destroys the scale of AP. I wonder if Graves visited the site before design began? Maybe he didn't. I can't find any other reason for it to be so colossaly out of scale for it's surroundings. Anyway, to me it's just a sub-par building erected on an above par site.
  2. When will what get built? Are you talking about the new HISD Hq. in the parking lot of Delmar Stadium? It's almost finished.
  3. Yeah...the cannons...the ones to pick off the aliens on Timmons...those cannons...I happen to know it because that's what the plate in my head just told me... What? What's that you say? A comet? From the planet Zyclap? Headed for HISD HQ? ALL HANDS ON DECK, PLASTIC!!! MAN THE CANNONS!!!!!
  4. ...or CAN afford to have someone like Carr on their team [and I don't mean monetarily].
  5. Try again, kjb. http://www.mosaichouston.com/ Great floor plans but they need to give some orientation to the site. N, S, E or W?
  6. ..and what would be the coolest! My own chauffeur driven limo with a fully stocked bar to haul my ass anywhere I tell him to.
  7. I think the bus station is to be included in the intermodal facility at N. Main and Burnett-just north of the vehicular tunnel.
  8. ...and bulldoze the McDonalds across the street while they are at it...
  9. That's what everyone tells me yet I still don't have an edit button...anywhere.
  10. The city didn't let the Oilers go. The owner attempted to blackmail the city and county for a new stadium and we called his bluff. He stamped his feet, held his breath and waddeled off to Nashville.
  11. I can understand that-being the owner of two absolutly bizarre cats. BTW, how do you edit a post?
  12. eelimon? Why are your posts taking up so much screen space lately?
  13. economics vs. econonomics a nother vs another THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD!!!!!
  14. It was bizarre and facinating at the same time. Don going blind and Jeana Claire looking like she was on a Valium drip-but me and my sisters loved it. We would roll around on the floor and howl watching my crazy middle sister try to imitate the baton twirlers with a crow bar. Oh yeah, a peice of trivia: Annette O'Toole got her "Big Break" on the show! Now she plays Superboy's Ma on TV.
  15. "Get rid of the pigskin son, find a target already"? Hell, get rid of the pigskin holder.
  16. I would like to see one at the Pavillions on the Main Street side.
  17. gto: I agree. I wonder how much outreach and support to really bright high school students-who would just die for a challanging leg-up in life-the $$ spent on sports at Rice would help. I don't mean cutting intramural sports-just the out of proportion amount of $$ spent on football, baseball and basketball. Like you said, you go there for a great education. If you want sports, go to any of our lame-ass state supported universities.
  18. Well, they may or may not...unless you have an inside take. Wanna share?
  19. I was at laguarda.low's website http://www.laguardalow.com/# but couldn't find any mention of the Pavillions. Are they off the project or am I having a pre-senior moment?
