KevinFromTexas, or others....What is the difference {intended difference} between the "City Compilations" and the "Regional Sections". I feel like the Austin threads are one-in-the-same. Are they supposed to cover different topics?

and if they did stain it...brick red, perhaps? it could almost take on the look of a much older and much more prestigous building that way. add some brass touches and a little greenish hue to the pyramid. mmm, that would be nice. |
Who ownes the Crowne Plaza building? Did it change hands when it went from an Adam's Mark to a CP?

Travel Suggestions
I'll be in LA for business 9/27-10/1 and want to go somewhere 10/1-10/5, preferably international, and preferably on Continental. Any suggestions? I'm leaning towards Quebec City...explore the town and see the foliage in the countryside.
I will probably be in Orlando for a few days in mid-October 10/10-10/15 and may jump across to Ireland 10/15-10/19, so that's not an option. Neither is London (did that in April), Paris, or Amsterdam (I can fly nonstop from Houston to CDG and AMS). Basically instead of flying home Wed. I'm using it as a day to get to someplace not served non-stop from Houston. While all y'all where sweltering last week I was in Iceland with themps in the 50's! :tup: I'm trying to fill up my passport by Dec. 31, 2011. and I think I need to hit 16 countries (32 stamps) between now and then, assuming stamps both entering and exiting. I think I can "cheat" my way a little by revisiting New Zealand via Australia coming and going (6 stamps), and going to Europe via Iceland, from a Canadian destination (10 stamps?). |
Thanks Kevin for the info on the difference of compilations vs. sections and thanks for all your effort and posts. Much appreciated.:tup:

I posted a thread in 'City Discussions' about television markets in the US. It includes a map of the areas with a list. I know we have some tv and radio geeks here, so have a look:

The defunct HollyHills East Side sports complex is revived, built, and SA bids for the Olympics. Yay or nay?

The Olympics will have to go to a true international city - Los Angeles, London, NYC etc... |
Does anybody know where the Spurs training facility is located? I'd like to drive by and see it sometime, and can't find the address on the internet...it's probably shrouded in secrecy.

I think the other day the NFL Comissioner was here speaking, and basically said they are keeping their eye on San Antonio. We all know SA has been overlooked in the past because of the small tv market. But, wouldn't the games be shown in Austin, the Hill Country, West Texas & El Paso, and the Valley? Wouldn't that bump up the tv market a good bit?

they would probably bump the texans in a few of those markets, but, honestly, i don't know that the nfl sees a huge profit to be had in drawing el paso viewers who wouldn't otherwise be watching football. |
as i mentioned earlier in the thread, i did some public speaking this weekend.
for anyone who is interested, here is THE LINK. Click on "The Power to Direct". |
