And the following two(Alabama and River Oaks Theatres) are causing much debate in the community by Weingarten Realty’s recent announcement for new plans for these two shopping centers. A few folks have even started a petition to voice their opinion against Weingarten proposal.

Did I miss any other retro theatres inside the Loop?


Where are all the trees

As Houston’s housing market continues to economically thrive into 2007, the environment is taking a toll. With the increasing population density in the Loop builders are trying to meet the demand for new homes. I hate the fact that the trees are being cut up left and right, but I love the new innovative home designs and the jobs that the building is creating for all the tradesmen.wood frame house


Where is Pac-Man

I spotted this ghost near the corner of Westheimer and Dunlavy. He must be nearby. Are there any Pac-Man arcade games still out in any Pizza shops anywhere?

India – proud supporter of W

1.2.2007 there are a number of manhole covers produced with Indian steel all over the City of Houston. This one is stamped with “W” for Water meter, but reminds me of those W for President stickers during the 2004 elections.
