    Crazy.
    I grew up as t 1136 Lawrence Road.
    Parents sold the property to South Shore Harbor.
    They never developed it.
    Clear Creek Class of 85.
    I used to work at the Flying Dutchman in High school before the Kemah Boardwalk was ever a thought.
    Did you know Any of the Bulots or Delasandri's

    as reported by Bloombeg,

    Trump’s “art of the deal” approach to negotiating with the world’s strongmen isn’t quite going to plan. In the last 48 hours, he’s been rebuffed by the leaders of Russia, China and Iran. And business executives are losing confidence in the economic outlook, a sharp reversal from their buoyant mood after the US president’s reelection.

    Proper TexMex restaurant would make bank anywhere, anytime, anyplace.

    All you need is 3 or 4 ladies to run the kitchen

    I watched Nonnas last weekend.
    Might be easy to lure a few out of retirement if the economy goes south.

    For me I'm on the back 9 of my career.
    Restaurant life is a young man's game.
    I'm in at 6am out at 2pm. Napping by 2:15.

    Right. All you do is the numbers and books, they run the kitchen.

    ...unless they get deported

    I've threatened to do something similar around here, "Kolache Factory" type stuff

    Also, too good:

    DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?

    LUTNICK: Generally 10%

    DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%

    LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff

    DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

    While technically true (you don't build bananas, you grow them), bananas are produced in the United States in the billions of tons (primarily in Hawaii).
