gonzo1976 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 It's that house where the Boy Scouts used to have their headquarters, I think. It's right off the Pierce Elevated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Nope. But....not too far from the pierce elevated....within a 10 block radius Here's a couple more hints: OK. Last hint. This should do the trick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Is that the neat church looking building off of San Jaciento? A couple blocks from The Houston House Apartments? It looks like it... by the Mc D's off of Main? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a "gem" (if you ask me), of downtown. It's one of those places where I can feel like I'm in some 1970's vintage cop show, like Starsky and Hutch (or something). There is always that feeling of being in slight danger, being mugged, or followed soonafter. It's that feeling that tells me "you're not in Kansas anymore."

The Woodlands will be building replicas of this store in Market Street (with actors playing the bums, of course) to give it a more authentic feel. Of course, the Woodlands moms will tell their kids not to go near it, because it's "dangerous"....just to add to the authentic feel, though...not because it really IS dangerous or anything.

wendyps Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I'll take that mad dog and put it on my new mattress with pride I must admit, I've bought candy there and served it at the office :> and it is quite appropriate as a farewell to my working downtown. I just took a job in the Champions area (boooo)...wonder if they have stinky skanky nasty chicken up there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they'll leave the gen-u-ine urine smell out? 2112 mentioned Starsky & Hutch but those scenes were from a time when cities had poor people living there in the various cheap motels and flophouses. Skid rows existed. Now, all that's left are panhandlers. It's already like the Woodlands. Are there any tough downtowns in large US cities left? Maybe Detroit? I wonder if there'll be a "reality-based" tour company during the super bowl pointing out the various old-time urban characters. And with brownstones in Bed-Stuy going for 1M, NY sounds like it's pretty much tamed. Damn yuppies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternGulf Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Bums aside, that intersection of Main and Walker, I believe it is, needs some TLC. The West building I believe is right across the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
