houstonfella Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Nah, the EastHoes are all over by the port.If you should have Wildwood and a Jefferson, they'll take you on over by the Wayside and let you Polk your Clinton through their Canals. Don't forget to wear Goode Armour. Oh, and watch out for the Manchester. You'll know her when you see her on account of her Forest Hills and the Woodridge. [if only I could set that to the voice and rhythm of George Carlin...] You are too funny to me.

The Great Hizzy! Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 You know, I also like H-Town Man's suggestion of Houston Green(s). Certainly not a generic "named after" moniker and probably has the ability to endure.Midway Gardens has a nice ring to it as well--at least, in my feable mind, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimberlySayWhat Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 (edited) I couldn't come up with anything clever, so I submitted something sarcastic and unnecessary. I shouldn't have done it, but I've been under a lot of stress lately and I was feeling mean spirited. Not that that's any good reason. I like Magnolia Gardens but there's already one of those.

Hey, Kim, since you discovered Sprall as one of our main seasons, the other being Summer, perhaps we could call it Sunshine Park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Hizzy! Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Cool. Didn't know that. I've probably heard that somewhere in the past and just never connected it with anything in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Since there are many oaks already in the proposed park, I was thinking something with oak in it. Oak Place, Oak Plaza, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 okay, then i guess my source, whom i have complete faith in and who has personal, intimate knowledge of behind closed doors conversations, would give me an earlier date i just passed along what ive heard, so take it fwiw and dont shoot the messenger. Hey there, Houston-development... Any updates on that August groundbreaking from your source, in whom you have complete faith and who has personal, intimate knowledge of behind closed doors conversations? Or has there been a setback to, oh, say October 16? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 No names really seem to leap out for the park. That area really doesn't have any particular historical significance that would suggest a name. Could they just call it Houston Center Park? It makes the location clear, and it is close to the "Central Park" idea they want to convey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't, I urge you to check it out. It's so funny:http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com When will the name of the park be decided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Being downtown last night (Carlos Mencia rocked!), I noticed that they closed off Crawford where at where the park is supposed to be at.seems silly to have just a block of Crawford between the arena and the park. But it is handy, to zoom around the hotel if you miss it, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
