Yeah, that

Because the only "culture" in NO is sports and drinking, and we all know what that leads to!

Is this the location where Heights Tackle Shop used to be?

On second thought, my favorite toy was/is my Jet cabinet saw!

Suffice to say, he was not a happy camper. Hey, I see it worked, huh?

Did anyone see the anti violence protesters in NO yesterday? They marched, then gathered for speeches. Naggin

It was a frontier fort with plastic soldiers and Indians, probably Davy Crockett or Rin Tin Tin themed.

My favorite view was from the Quitman bridge over I-45.

I remember my dad talking about it. I was only 5 at the time.

Going way back in the darkest recesses on my mind (where it can get mighty scary), I get a mental image of the Pink Pussycat sign on the Sweeny-Combs building. Maybe it was next to or near that building, but I can see the sign and the familiar corner structure of Sweeny-Combs both in the same mental picture.

From CNN: AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Police shut down 10 blocks of businesses in the heart of downtown Austin early Monday after dozens birds were found dead. Experts were testing for any sort of environmental contaminant or gas or chlorine leaks that might have killed off the animals, police spokeswoman Toni Chovanetz said. There were no reports of any humans harmed, but a 10-block stretch of the main north-south route through downtown, several side streets and all buildings in the area were blocked off and expected to remain off-limits until about noon, Chovanetz said. The bird carcasses were found overnight along Congress Avenue between Sixth and Eighth streets. The street closure Monday morning stretched from the front of the state Capitol to a section of the Colorado River known as Town Lake. The Capitol opened on schedule Monday, the day before the legislative session was to begin. Also from CNN: Gas-like odor permeates Manhattan NEW YORK (AP) -- Authorities were investigating the source of a mysterious gas-like odor Monday that stretched across a large part of Manhattan, including Rockefeller Center. The Fire Department began getting calls about the odor around 9 a.m. Monday, said spokesman Tim Hinchey. No source had been identified. Across the Hudson River, Jersey City, New Jersey, mayor's spokeswoman Maria Pignataro said officials there were told the odor was due to a gas leak in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, just north of Greenwich Village. "When I left my apartment [in Jersey City]," Pignataro told CNN, "I walked out and immediately was hit with gas fumes. If you were in a gas station, it would be magnified 1,000 times." Pignataro advised people in the area to close their windows and to turn off their heating and ventilation systems. "The smell was very strong. It was very scary," said Yolanda Van Gemd, an administrator at ASA, a business school near the Empire State Building that was evacuated as a precaution. Utility officials with Consolidated Edison had no immediate comment. In August, seven people were treated at hospitals after a gaseous smell in the boroughs of Queens and Staten Island. Maybe something's afoul - or afowl?

Congress Avenue has been shut down from 11th to Cesar Chavez, or, from the Capitol to the river. The reason is that about 14 dead birds were found lying dead along the street, and it was closed to determine the cause of death. This would be akin to closing Main Street from Franklin to Jefferson in Downtown Houston.

In the mid 60s, many of the guys my age became very familiar with 61 Riesner Street. That

Anybody have a photo of this house?

They are building cinder block houses down the road from me off 304 south of 71 (Bastrop). I have been following the progress of the construction since I have never seen cinder block houses being built before. As far as I can tell, these houses will look just like adobe houses when completed, and I see nothing wrong with that look. My only

My grandmother lived at 14th and Waverley and I spent many hours watching those trains roll by. My best friend near her lived on Herkimer, and his house backed up to Nicholson. My guess is that the railroad ceased operations somewhere in the 60s, and possibly the later 60s. BTW, the street was called Railroad originally, but I don’t know when it was changed.

In areas like The Heights, wouldn't the actual property values most likely rise faster than the amount your appraised value can be increased, which is 10%, right?

What's the difference? A rat is nothing more than a squirrel with a shaved tail.

My girlfriend has bats in the belfry, and I haven't a clue as to how to get rid of them.

Hey, TJones. Ya missed one!
