Re: Tank in River Oaks
The tank, on a trailer, is legally parked on a public street. The neighbors can pound sand all they want, but it will still be legal and they cannot do anything but harass the owner. The owner, in turn, can take anyone who harasses him to court. Should be fun to watch :)
That Sherman used to be at the Normandy Tank Museum near Cherbourg. It closed last year due to lack of visitors and sold off its collection.
Re: Tank in River Oaks.
What in the world? Let me guess his thoughts on the NFL National Anthem controversy.
@HEBisbetterthanKroger
Take your best shot >;D
HEB: Given that most Americans don’t protest the anthem, I think it’s fair to say he is against the protests. If he had a tank or a Kia in his driveway I’d feel safe making the same guess
HEB is better than Kroger- His thoughts on the anthem are irrelevant. His appreciation for history and what the greatest generation accomplished is refreshing. I took my kids to it and let them walk around it. My hat goes off to the guy. Its because of the guys that made that tank and the guys that drove it you can fiddle fart around about what dum ass concrete box you buy your food from.
