Aw, that's OK, gwil. I usually order the chicken pasta when I go there.

Some may wonder what a food forum has to do with architecture, but then y

You didn't by chance mean "Playland Park", did you? That was Houston's primere amusment park for years. It was at South Main at Murworth. Playland shut down around the early to mid '60s.

I say good-bye and good riddance to Carlos.

Rosemary Thornton posts occasionally on a forum I frequent. She may be the definitive authority on Sears houses. I have her book, but it doesn

There's a topic from a few months back in the Woodlands/Conroe forum about a boxer who had a shot at the heavyweight title from Cut N Shoot back in the 50s.

That would be Roy Harris. I never saw him fight, but he was big news around here when he was going for the title. If I recall, Sonny Liston once remarked that of all the opponents he ever faced, Harris had the hardest punch.

Will the proposed intersection be a free-for-all, or will it have traffic lights?

I watched a number of Paul Prudhomme

The one I remember most is the one where Kelly crosses the Eastex Freeway (just north of the North Loop). It had a name, but for the life of me I can

I was being facetious.

Why not make the changes I proposed? That log cabin has seen better days. Market Square needs some new blood. So what

Anybody ever see the Cadillac Ranch outside Amarillo?

Well, I have. We drove out of our way just to go by and see it. It is ugly. It is gaudy. But it was there, and I had never seen it, so I drove over just to see it because it was famous.
