A better question might be, why do we have trouble-maker's accounts closed, just so they can open a new one to come back in and start the suburb-bashing and whining about suburban HEBs all over again? (and I'm not referring to the OP)

And, why do other people ramble on about nothing and bump old threads, then apologize, only to change their name and start doing the same annoying thing all over again?

Those questions would be much better answered and taken care of before we can even attempt to give you relevant information about anything on this board...

Rather than trying to be a smart arse, please try to learn from your past mistakes and I believe that will take you a very long way. Else I can bet, you will go through another series of beatings as you just recently did. Didn't you learn anything yet This is a friendly remark.....

Why is it awful?

So for the people saying all of the suburbs are bad, are there places closer to the city with more interesting architecture, a yard big enough for a pool and a large dog to play fetch (over 1/4 acre at least), good schools, and low crime?

This is an honest question, I'm just thinking about moving to the area and would be interested to hear your thoughts.

It's going to get better. Then again, it's the suburbs. What can you expect?

I went into that HEB once....walked right out....give me the Pantry one right by my house or the one on Bunker Hill...lol

Timbergrove Forest in the heights has all of the that....yes, the homes are overpriced but it has a suburban feel with a city address
