Who are the ghosts supposed to be? Did people die in the building or did they just take up home there because they like the food?

Besides, that wasn

if Dora wants 15-20% of a $50.00 tab - she needs to go work at Pappasitos

But then, Dora will definitely give you her phone number.

It would depend on whether Tiffany gives me her phone number or turns me down flat!

What I am uncomfortable with is that Tiffany at Pappasito

That reminds me of the black tie cattle auctions they used to have at the Shamrock Hilton.

My guess is that apartment construction will outpace house construction. That means more of the same for AISD.

Educators are taking to the streets this year to tout their claim that the Alief Independent School District is one of the best-kept secrets in the Houston area.

Salt Lake City has a better nightlife than Austin according to this

Are they the ones whose chirping grows louder and more persistent until they drive you to buy insurance?

Those aren't those really dangerous tree frogs, are they?

Houston is ranked 26th in "Culture"??? I'd sure like to know who is ranked above us!

And just what the hell does "Coolness" mean?

While I was at the Silo House, I was thinking how it would be living next door - and then a tour bus pulled up. Not sure I'd want to contend with that.

Why in the world would I have reason to take offense, H-Town Man? This is just a friendly a discussion, isn

I think Astroworld could become a great attraction if we had a few rides like this!

If you traveled out 290 every afternoon and at various times, you would notice that the first slowdown occurs between Tidwell/Hollister and Fairbanks/North Houston. I used 290/Hempstead to get to work from

There are many sides from which to look at this issue. However, the overriding aspect is an individual's rights as a property owned. The way a person chooses to exercise those rights may be questionable, or they may be against the law or deed restrictions. But those choices do take precedence over what others think of it.

There was a couple who bought the house next to my mom, razed the existing structure and built a new one. It was the talk of the neighborhood, and there were some who wanted to tar and feather the couple and run them out of the area. The house was huge, unconventional and was covered in corrugated tin.

If that couple had not been allowed to build the home of their dreams, the area, and the city would have been deprived of a GREAT SHOWPLACE!

It was at South Main at Beaeswood. It was for small kiddies and had horses you could ride around a circuit as to opposed to parks where you rode tethered horses.

What I saw and heard in Bastrop was definately not a nighthawk. Nighthawks are much larger.

Maybe it was a chirpmonk?

I would have sworn it was the homeowners responsibility. Thanks for the clarification, kjb!

Thanks for the link, HeightsGuy, but I don

I tell you what frightened me the most is that the A/C unit was just outside the window where I heard the chirping, and I was afraid the A/C was about to carp out on me!

Turn your trunk and cough.

Chickadees are very approachable in that, once they get used to you, they will get to where they will eat out of your hand.

Of course, if they are the ones you are hearing, they may just drive you out of your mind - uh, that is if it's not too late for that!
