they probably need to combine it with Astroworld.”

What Astroworld?

One of the commissioners was discussing the vast amount of money that would be required to tear it down because of all the various rules and regulations that need to be satisfied. Can’t remember the exact dollar figure but it was close to the cost to renovate it into usable space. It’s not like they can just go in, take a wrecking ball and bulldozer and haul it off in dump trucks - not even in Texas.

I would like to see it retained simply because it was one of the Wonders of the World. Besides it sure came in handy when we had to house all those folks from NOLA for Katrina. Maybe we could just round up all the Amish in Houston and start a Texas annex to Sheriff Joe’s jail in Arizona.

But I don’t live in the city any more so only have an opinion, not a vote and the $8.00 per residence increase in taxes won’t affect me.

Last time I looked, it had been converted to a vacant field.
