OT - Where You Live

[Greg]

Greg... Southside sucks ass. FYI.

LOL!!! Tell me about it!

[ohsherrie]

Greg, I used to have lunch at the El Ranchito two or three times a week when I worked in Martinsville and Bassett. A couple of the young IEs in the department used to get into dart tournaments at the Dutch Inn before the fire.

Good times good times! Have you been in Dutch Inn post fire? The bar is upstairs now. Makes it hard for the drunks having to walk down the stairs!

And a bit of trivia, at least SOME of the pictures on SP's FTLOSM album were shot on Alcatraz, like this one.


(I think anyway, Cyndy, can you confirm that?)

Cool, I didn't know that?

But you forgot a pic of Lombard Street (Crookedest street). I can't tell you how many times us kids made Dad drive down that street when we were on vacation there. Gawd we were soooo the Griswalds, station wagon and all.

Oh yeah, thanks Deb, I forgot that one. On the pic, I'm going on scenery that is on the island, not sure until Cyndy or Lora can confirm.

Here's a couple.... (somewhere in here I have a great shot of the Blue Ghost)

The Marina


Music Central (and yes.. that is all there is to downtown in the background, basically )


The Lake


The Bay


and what is a five minute drive from my casa

I've only been through there once in the last 10 yrs or so. I went to manage another BW/Lee facility shortly after the fire. The times when I was in that area and trying to teach/control the young IEs were very good times though.

[scarygirl]

Nice. Can I come live with you? I won't eat much.

Well since I live out in the boonies, I cant share any cool fancy city pics like the rest of you did (yes you too NIG )
So here are some pics from my house,,, followed by some pics from where I used to live (Gothenburg, Sweden )

Oy vey.... Our first year driving up to visit friends with MLS, we missed the boat completely and wound up lost somewhere near Parker Memorial (or whatever it is now). We were looking for the large green lit building at the time... during the day. Evidently, the good people of Dallas know their way around so well they DON'T need street signs or building numbers. After about an hour, we drove back over to Mesquite and called THEM to come get us!

We DID find our way to the Cotton Bowl though. Cool beans.

I do too. I don't go into Dallas unless I absolutely have to. As a matter of fact, the last time I was in Dallas was July 29, 2006. Jeff Scott Soto was fronting some band at the Smirnoff Amphitheater.

I loved Sundance Square... I lived in the Renaissance Worthington for about a month!! Do you ever go to the Rail Market or Risky Rita's??

The concert where we saw the JSSB, that was Ft. Worth, right? I don't think I'd wanna live in that part of Ft. Worth

Yeah, that's called the north side. It's gone way down hill. The Stockyards area is really nice. They keep it clean and mugger free.

If you ever get a chance to go to the Smirnoff Amphitheater in Dallas, there you will see the real projects. The neighborhoods surrounding it, the Cotton Bowl and Fair Park are about as bad as you can get.

Yeah, it didn't seem that bad going in, but going out at night it was kinda scary actually. I thought the JSSB was gonna get attacked

Some thuggy looking people walking around there? I left before all of you did, so I must have missed seeing them.

Yeah, some guys in trucks yelling stuff at us ladies. The guys weren't too comfortable. I thought that was pretty bold of them since there were more guys than ladies in our group. We all walked very fast! It didn't help the bar owner told them someone had been stabbed out there earlier that week

Well it's no wonder, you ladies were looking pretty damn good that night.

You bet, it was so cool to get to hang out with all of you like that. I know I said that about 10 times that night.

The feeling was mutual

No doubt, one of my friends lived off Belknap back in with the Mexican Crackhouses... that is a rough area!!

My wife grew up in that area, and I guess 35 years ago it was really nice. It's amazing how things can change so fast.

Oh, the houses were beautifully made. But then you find out there's meth labs and hookers in them, and it is a little shocking. I love Ft. Worth though. Great town, great food.

[bluejeangirl76]

Damn! That's as bad as here! Last time I parked downtown, I got hosed 16 bucks for just half an hour.
Glad I wasn't there all day.

Jesus, $43 per day - what do they consider a "day"?
Around here, if you get taken for that much per day, it usually means "8-hour work day". Bastards.
We get hosed on parking all over this freakin' city. It's insane.
