There was a report last night that many jazz musicians are leaving town because the little dive joints that once featured jazz now play R&R because it is favored by customers. Even street jazz musicians are becoming a rarity there.

This post title had me thinking of a different solution before I read the whole post. I was gonna suggest you get better running shoes to help your cat chase that dog!

From IF Web Site (POSTED MON. FEB 5 6 PM) The new owner of the Inwood Forest Golf and Country Club is NOT Renaissance Golf Group, LLC. It is a separate partnership named Inwood Forest Partners, LP. This new partnership apparently includes many, if not all, of the principals of Renaissance Golf Group, LLC. Richard Cook is a limited partner in the Inwood Forest Partners and will serve as General Manager at Inwood Forest; he also is the General Manager at Quail Valley. In a notice today that was sent to club members describe some changes to operations effective immediately. 1. North and West courses will be open for play. 2. The Golf shop will be open. 3. All food and beverage services will be closed 4. 30 days from Feb 5 the Inwood Forest Club will be permanently closed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wonder if the news toady changes the above?

Al Bore had to cancel a speech on GW in Missouri due to the cold weather, too.

Well, kinda sorta. It was me, but the handwriting was Betty Lou's.

I was the big kid who was outside writing my name in the snow.

There are a few Steak and Ale restaurants still at their original locations. I think they have very good food, and the salad bar is one of my all-time favorites.

Don't need any link because that day is etched in my memory. I was in Mrs. Tillinghast

How about Chester Cheetah? Now, that

That article was in The Leader, a neighborhood weekly. It covers a large area from the Heights up to the far northwest. They are thrown at individual houses, but you can find them at many stores and restaurants in the area. The office is on Rosslyn just north of W 34th.

Amen, TBird. A-men!

You know, when you think of someone as a disgusting pig, with no redeeming values, I find it just a tad hypocritical to turn around and mourn their passing. While I am not exactly jumping up and down in joy, I am certainly not going to shed a tear. I don

TBird, my mom came to Bastrop yesterday, and that was the first time I have had to really talk with her. She told me that she met Josephine at Polar Wave, and met her brother, Jimmy, there, too. Mom did skate there, but she worked there as well, and that

I believe that has yet to be decided.

Nice post, Kloomis. And welcome to HAIF!

The most horrible aspect of the ordeal was that there were so many bodies recovered, it was decided just to load them onto barges and dump them at sea. Days later, many of those corpses floated back onto the Galveston shoreline. The film of the Galveston damage was taken by the Edison film company, and was some of the first documentary footage ever shot.

My great grandmother and a daughter were killed in the 1900 storm. We know that for a fact, yet they are not included in the list of victims. I am sure there are so many more who died but were not accounted for, so we will never know what the death toll really was. My grandfather went there after the storm to look for them, but he was commandeered into going around picking up bodies. He would have been around 18 at the time. "Pop" never talked of his experiences in Galveston - not to his wife, not to my father, not to anyone that we know of.

Actually, NMG, I was not as affected as you because you and those involved (perpetrators and victims) are a few years younger than I am. In fact, I had already gone through a marriage and a stint in the Navy by the time that happened. I knew none of those involved other than knowing people who knew them. It wouldn

My mom went to Hamilton, then to Reagan. They moved to Midland for a while, then back to Houston where she graduated in

My mom used to skate there back in the late '30s. One of her good friends there was Josephine Cottle. Mom dated her brother for a time. Josephine was

Thanks for the link!What I don

How did you hear of that, Philliper? What is your source? My GF would love to know the details, as would many of her friends.

I had one of their albums, possibly the last one they made. The leadoff song was Imitation Situation, and that may have been the album title as well.The best song on the album was the absolute very best version of "Hey, Joe" that I ever heard.
