MidtownCoog Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Stuck on the bus today, I noticed some directional signs on Congress in front of the County Annex.The sign pointed to "NoHo".WTF is NoHo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Maybe no ho's are allowed in the area? I guess someone is trying to start some trendy ____ with a silly abreviated name. Hey, I live in CoGro (Cottage Grove). I have friends that live in WoHe (Woodlands Heights) What about RiO (River Oaks) And don't forget the MC (Memorial City) I think I much rather say North Hou instead of NoHo.

editor Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 It's short for "No Hope."Kind of the modern version of "Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Could they be any more lame? This is probably what the Jordy Tollett/Bob Eury crowd considers "hip". They're wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 And these are the new fancy signs, not just some sign made by a rogue bozo. We need a tagger to go and take care of it.I live in Fall Creek. For short, I just call it FaReek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in HoHe. NoHo was supposed to be North Houston, back when all this SoHo poser crap started. I much prefer the Near Northside, since that is what it is.

Guest danax Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I can't stand those stupid name mutilations.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Pretty embarrasing that we look like we're trying to be a 2nd rate version of NY instead of a 1st rate version of ourselves.At least they're trying to prime the pump of redevelopment for the Near Northside, if that's what NoHo is supposed to mean. Seems like they really haven't made up their minds what they want to call that area. I've also heard Northside Village. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
