Our own little bit of Tokyo


What does this look like?

The redevelopment of the Astrodome is at least moving forward, although the Chron is lamenting the loss of a countrified Texas theme HERE in favor of a luxurious bullshit fantasy world more reminiscent of Las Vegas. The Japanese capitol known for running out of space at every turn holds indoor ski slopes and beaches as a substitute for the real thing, and as Houston crawls into the 21st century we have an indoor waterpark on the waterfront in Schlitterbahn and a possible indoor hotel and amusement here in the city to keep us in cozy air-conditioning at all times. Not that we're running out of space, but lets keep going- there are at least 5 ice rinks in town and I'm sure we can get an indoor mountain at some point, just like Dubai.
