    wet. the demographic for w.e.t. would be 18-35 year old men. advertisers would be beer, liquor, deodorant, nascar, UFC, energy drinks and so on. do you see why there's crime in the woodlands? we can't stay on topic and we get bored when we can't go outside.

    too far to be significant for this development.

    i drove by the block that this is being developed on and i think it will be great there. it will provide a shot of adrenaline to the area. the residents who live here will add to the customer base of existing rice village retailers and restaurants.

    that must have been the situation when i first noticed the bluish water at kemah several years ago. i looked out expecting brown and was amazed at how not brown it was.

    how about running it straight down richmond? or just eliminate the university line between main and the galleria area. let the west side of town gridlock, more and more people will use afton oaks as an alternative route. see how they feel about traffic and mass transit in ten years. the idea of using the 59 ROW is ridiculus. metro should tell culberson to go jump off a cliff and start the line. or, as someone else suggested, take it to a vote again, delay the line and prove to culberson and his ilk that they are outnumbered. i can't believe that people are seriously considering tearing up 59 AGAIN so that 20 or 30 homeowners aren't made uncomfortable. what about the tens of thousands of people using 59 every day. i think that culberson and metro should bite the bullet, let the homeowners rant and build the freakin best and most affordable route. the 59 corridor is not the most cost efficient.

    i live in grogan's mill. my most recent bill from MUD #36 only includes a state tax of .25 on a $50 bill. this bill includes water and sewer. i don't know if the MUD tax you are describing would be on this bill. my annual homeowner's association bill on a 130K house is around $450. this fee includes garbage pick up and recycling. someone else may know about the MUD tax.

    it seems that geologists and people who study currents and erosion would have warned against building these islands. i think these are HUGE money pits. fascinating, yet short-sighted to say the least.

    i have to agree with jeebus. this project is taking into consideration the pedestrian friendly nature of the village. it is not going to be ugly. as far as i know, it is not destroying any significant structures (correct me if i'm wrong). this is good for the village.

    the water in the bay is blue, or appears to be blue in some places. the brown water in the gulf is due to silt from the mississippi that moves west along the coast. galveston wouldn't exist if it weren't for this.

    i remember how long the watergate hearings seemed to me as a kid. all three stations, every night it seemed like. "roots" was huge. it was an event. thank goodness for cable.

    isn't this the same project discussed in a 'going up' thread? zieglar/cooper architects i think.

    tjones, you can only help yourself. i couldn't get into town until after 8:30PM. i had to meet people for dinner and figured it was too late and too little time to head over from last concert cafe. hope there was a good turn out. let us know how it went.

    for a god-awful, lengthy, ad nauseum discussion on light rail on richmond (including information about the latest culberson "elect me 'cause i'm a man of the people" antic), check out this link...........THE thread

    if beltway 8 didn't exist, traffic would be heavier at loop 610 and 1960 to go west from the north side. people would have to stay on i-45 to downtown or the 610 loop. cars on beltway 8 would not disappear from the roads. they would simply be crowding existing thoroughfares. i'm not quite sure how you think the existence of 610 and beltway 8 ADD to the north/south or east/west traffic. these loops relieve traffic through the city center. when i was a kid, our family took vacations every summer. if we were headed to south padre or san antonio we drove from conroe on i-45 to downtown or loop 610 to go west or southwest. now days, we go west at greenspoint/beltway 8. we no longer travel on i-45 between greenspoint and 610 or through downtown on i-45. imagine the thousands of people who live on the north side and work in the 290 corridor or near memorial city. thousands of people no longer drive in to loop 610 or cut through neighborhoods to get to the northwest/west side because of beltway 8. smart planning, smart infrastructure can encourage smart growth.
