Underutilized Park?

Your eyes fall out Your nose falls in The worms play pinochle On your chin More cemetery and worm songs... And leave it to Morrissey to write the best cemetery song ever.

Even 'highbrow' patrons aren't exempt from this rudeness. During a screening of Wordplay at the Angelika, I had the misfortune of having a chatty latecomer sit next to me. A whispered "Please don't talk" was greeted with an annoyed look, so I repeated it a bit more loudly. To my credit, the remainder of the sentence ("you silly deaf delicate flower") went unspoken. One has to be careful these days: About halfway through a matinee showing of "Brokeback Mountain "at the Cinemark 18 on the Gulf Freeway, Tynesha Crawford received a call. A nearby viewer, Pauline Clayton, 65, acknowledges that she let Crawford know the phone was disturbing others, but exactly how she did that is in dispute. Clayton, a tourist from Australia, told Webster police that she "tapped" Crawford's arm to get her attention. Crawford, 26, says Clayton slapped her arm while telling her to knock off the noise, police reported. link to article End result is that misdemeanor charges were filed against both women. Man, would I love to be on that jury!

Owner says she'll raze area eyesore Home at 2119 Converse vacant for over 10 years By TOM MANNING Chronicle Correspondent The owner of a dilapidated house in Montrose that neighbors have been trying to get torn down for years must demolish it soon, or the city will do it for her. The building at 2119 Converse has been vacant for more than a decade. Vacant, that is, except for the vermin and vagrants that occasionally call the place home, said Gentry Verner, who lives across from the property at the intersection of Converse and West Drew. link From the article: "Once the developers start to call, the city listens," he said. "All of us have been calling for years, but we got no action at all." Now, where do people get the notion that developers rule this city?

Andrew Young steps down from Wal-Mart By BERNARD McGHEE Associated Press Writer

Make that $725,000. $75,000 did seem a little low... Link to Houston Chronicle article

So many inner tubes, so few spare tires. Obviously not an American beach.

The exterior was covered with a dark greenish cultured marble. My coffee table's top strongly resembles it.

I"m glad you asked. Here's more info on pigeons. Did you know they're monogamous? and, despite this fact, that they're not permitted to marry in Texas? If you're adventurous, here's another approach to baby pigeons.

Sure, so long as you hire an off-duty police officer, too.

Not at all. Photography had been common and affordable since 1888, thanks to George Eastman.

Certified leakproof?

HSPVA is at the corner of Greeley and West (not S.) Main.

And you are...? Seems to me if you're so 'informed' you could be a bit more specific.

And what does this portend?

Closing thread.

Gee, I didn't know Escher designed Houston Center...

sevfiv, you never cease to amaze me And remember how she'd weave from one side of the lane to the other? Made me think ol' Mare may have been blowing >.08

Proper "Pronounciation"?

OMG...Subdude had Mary Richards' car! (note to younger members: This is a reference to the opening sequence of The Mary Tyler Moore Show.)

Alas, Kelley's and the building which formerly housed Richard's Antiques are no more. The block was cleared earlier this week. R.I.P.

Public speakers' sessions are held on Tuesdays (not Thursdays) at 2:00PM. They are shown live on the Municipal Channel (channel 16 on Warner Cable.)

As you suggest, he is not above lying about the percentage to justify his position. Afton Oaks residents are merely an excuse to do what he intended to do all along. "90% of his consituents"? I'm one of his constituents, and he never asked for my opinion. He neither knows nor cares about what percentage of his constituents favor rail. His agenda was in place before this issue ever came before the public. Perhaps 90% of the comments reaching his office opposed rail on Richmond, but that's not the same thing, now is it?

Culberson never had any intention of allowing rail to be built on Richmond, or anywhere else. The protests of Richmond business owners and Afton Oaks residents is merely an excuse to thwart the construction of any new rail in Houston. By eliminating the Richmond route, he can now use rail proponants arguments against themselves. ("Even rail supporters agree that a Westpark line wouldn't be feasible.") As one of Culberson's unwilling constituents I'll support whoever runs againts him - but our gerrymandered district has pretty much determined that he'll be in office for a long time.
