Weingarten is just keeping up with the current President and CEO's demand to be an avaricious and dismissive bully.

The important message here, if you are old and unattractive, you should probably end it. Especially if you are rat-infested. Out with the old, in with the new...River Oaks will become a very lame version of L.A. How proud are you now?

Weingarten is just keeping up with the demand the surrounding neighborhoods of River Oaks, Hyde Park, Rice Military and Cottage Groce are creating, due to all the home builders tearing down older single family bungalows and replacing them with ne high density multi-storey townhomes. See the rendering of the new shopping center at this blog post: http://xnomad.wordpress.com/2007/09/05/river-oaks-shopping-center-demolished/

The comments are the most entertaining part of the chronicle, or scary.

I like the folks over at the Chron who claim that the shopping center and theater should be torn down because they were rat-infested, dirty and attracting a clientele of bums and hippies. Those people are obviously so familiar with the place, it hurts my head.

Some truly classic and ignorant comments being made by both sides of the fence on this one on the Chronicle. WOW!

Houston is becoming a boring concrete wasteland! Even larger cities have the good sense to preserve historic landmarks! I gotta get outta this place!

have you seen the chronicle's posting for this online? The comments? I'm trying to register but it's not letting me. Will someone please comment on there. Apperently the people that read that are not of the opinion that there's anything worth preserving in Houston.
