I think this will happen, The Houston City Council will most likely pass this pretty quick knowing them;anything with great potential and brings money into Houston and Texas will get the Houston City Council and the Bill Whites attention. It will be presented to them next month.

If that's what you want to believe.

Its not what I want to believe, I'm being realistic. The prices for rail are steadily going up yet this city still isn't getting anything done and wasting time on doing research and studies about it. Hopefuly with the stimulus, Houston will use it on rail and not more toll roads and highways.

I'm guessing you didn't hear the East End line is already under construction, slated to open in 2012.

Anyway, I'm not sure what this has to do with the Astrodome's conversion into a movie studio.

Default Astrodome Studios

Now, that has a nice ring to it, this studio idea. I like the idea. It's original and different. I think it has a lot of promise for the area. And this will create some new jobs, too.

You should really check Chron.com or Metro's website sometime.

I think everyone has heard, but driving through there you would think differently.

Anyway...

Broken-down Astrodome may have seen its last rodeo | Real Estate | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

Apparently they can't even use it for rodeo stuff. This is stupid. You don't even have to let people actually enter the stands part. Just put some portable toilets on the floor level and have everyone enter through the old center field gate.

It's not in the best of shape, but I call BS on the excuse that it's code violations.
