groovehouse Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Geez, an airport now a monument? Please... he's not even from Houston... they're from Massachusetts(?). I don't see Massachusetts(?) renaming airports or erecting monuments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danax Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Dec. 3, 2004, 12:11AM Bush receives monumental honor A downtown statue celebrates the feats of the former president By ALLAN TURNER Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle Houston lawyer Charles Foster said he began promoting the statue project to local business leaders about four years ago after he concluded the city had not done enough to honor Bush. "No president was so closely identified with his home city as President Bush." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmmmm. How bout Jimmy Carter and Plains, GA.

jt16 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I'm not "from" here. I doubt most of us are. Why does it matter? He's a big ambassador for the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 It'll be interesting to watch it slowly get submerged the next time it floods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Well, be sure to have someone set up some floodlights and a time-lapse camera to capture the event. That would be an interesting item to view. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
