South Mason is not even that bad. The poster is exaggerating. We are talking a small 1.5 to 2 mile stretch of road anyway before Mason becomes almost exclusively residential.

Hey, take it easy. Please, I am just trying to make a point. No offense intended.

Prostitution bust at massage parlors in northwest Harris County | abc13.com

just read the news report.

Champions is still a respectable area, it has just gone a little downhill over the years. Mostly the areas south of Cypresswood.

Sorry about that. I just get so tired of Champions being blasted all the time and a lot of it with no good reason. I also disagree with you saying it has gone downhill south of Cypresswood.

That area in the news report is close to I-45. You cannot tar the whole area with the same brush. We all know what Houston is like, mansions one minute, trashy the next. I will be the first to agree though that close to I-45 is less than desirable.

The reason the 'spas' moved to 1960 is because they got run out of Houston. Houston started enforcing the law and they moved.

State reps Patricia Harless and Debby Riddle along with Commissioner Cagle have prepared a regulation very similar to the one used by the CoH to get them out of here. It will be a whole new world if it passes Commissioners court.

I don't know why it took so long. The CoH has annexed all the commercial areas on major streets in order to collect sales taxes. !960 and most shopping areas on Stuebner Airline, Kuykendahl even Louetta are in the CoH due to special purpose annexation. Guess the city can get our money but provide no service, just like Kingwood. But it might be just as well as our councilperson would be Ms. Brown.

I live in OPT and my neighbor and I were both absolutely thrilled about the Aldi. We wrote to our HOA and argued with them, as did several other residents. In fact, I do not know anyone who lives here that was against it. That was all the HOA, IMO!

I've lived in three northeastern metro areas with Aldis. They have a fairly small footprint, actually smaller than some of the newer drug stores being built. They have a limited selection of high quality, very well priced products. They generate a fraction of the traffic of a convenience store. They keep the store and surrounding property very neat and clean. Compared to a Seven Eleven or even worse, a crap hole Dollar General, they are downright upscale.

The best thing about these stores is I've never had to switch grocery carts. The 25 cent deposit seems to get people to put them back with the carts at the store so they never get hit by cars in the parking lot.

That and they don't have to pay people to round up carts in the parking lot. Aldi is opening basically next to HEB in Texas City (where "strangers" already live) now, where they pay several people essentially to bring carts to the back of the store and keep them out of parking spaces.

Also, reading through this thread again makes me all nostalgic.

I wonder how much coconuts will be at the new Aldi.
