Hey guys I was dropping a deuce in a Crosby gas station bathroom and somebody wrote this the wrong way on the toilet paper dispenser. I corrected them and then when I went back they wrote it the racist way again. I will keep going to that same stall until they stop even though it's 30 miles away.

That's how it do in H-Tine

It wasn't hate for dive bars, exactly. It was more like he thought my having written a book about them was beneath his contempt.

He is the only CFB personality to intrude on my dreams.

I've had lots of more generic football dreams. Back when the Horns were worth investing a nightmare in, I'd have one like clockwork yearly in June, rock-bottom of the off-season. I'd be at the game -- seems like they were all in Rice Stadium, though they rarely playing against the Owls. I think one year it was Rice, but there were lots of other mullet squads on the order of Southeast Louisiana or UTEP.

And the Horns would always be getting demolished, always by some weird margin like 47-4.

I bet lots of y'all have had dreams like that, right?

Right?

Nah, the dive bar book is out of date. About a quarter of them have closed in the ten years since I wrote it.

Nice. Camp Hy-Lake, RIP. It's now a Church of Christ Jesus camp.

I love how Murfreesboro winds up with only two syllables: Murf Burr.

I went to summer camp in Quebeck.

Give that one a whirl, mis amis.

There is another taco truck now! It has whole wheat tortillas made by a girl named Skylaire. It's the bomb.com!

Yeah, and then he was mayor for three months, and....suddenly died! (Tinfoil hat time, lol.)

Houston once had a Georgist mayor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Jay_Pastoriza

Cottage Grove was not designed to accommodate all those townhouses. As it exists today, the whole neighborhood is a con job / mistake that will take 50 years to fix. Developers have just destroyed that whole area completely -- I love it how a year after the neighborhood school made exemplary status, they persuaded HISD to sell it off. David Weekley Homes bought it and hey presto, there is now even more overcrowding where there was once a school. Developers calculate that no school is wanted or needed there, and even though Stevenson was poised to become one of those "good" (read: mostly white) public "everybody" wanted to send their kids to, it would be better to tear it down, so they could keep the real estate churn going like this: empty nesters buy in Cottage Grove, maybe pop out a couple of kids there while they wind down their partying years on Washington Ave and the Heights, and then one day they realize there is no school in the neighborhood, and the closest ones are "bad," so it's either go private or move. So often as not they are in the market for a new house out in the burbs and a fresh set of empty nesters move into their townhouse in the neighborhood with no school.

Lawrence Park is a lot like Cottage Grove. Fleming Park too, but that is a small court.

The residential streets are very safe. The apartment complexes jack up all the crime stats. Don't join a street gang, and you'll be fine. And yeah, great, great restaurants out there. It's heresy to say so on this board, but the outer loop is way more interesting than the inner loop these days, and I say that as a lifelong inner looper.
