This week’s Neighborhood Guessing Game has . . . no winner. None of you were even close. But it sure was fun!
Most of your guesses centered around Memorial. We had 2 for “Memorial” and one for “near Memorial Park.” Plus: 4 votes for Bunker Hill Village and one each for Hunters Creek Village, Hedwig Village, Jersey Village, and Hilshire Village. Pasadena and Champions Forest got 2 guesses each, and the remainder went to Baytown, Deer Park, the Mid Lane area, the southeast quadrant of Gessner and Westheimer, South Houston, Westheimer & Highway 6, Braeswood-Fondren near the country club, Greenwood Forest, Royden Oaks, and Fountainview or Bering Drive.
Hey, nobody guessed Meyerland! (No, it’s not there, either.)
This week we also had a few mystery sightings: A “I Shot J.R.” T-shirt in the closet; a sidewalk in front of the house; a fake fireplace in the converted attic; a second foosball table. Where are these things?
Three of you get honorable mentions: Brad, for spotting what may or may not be stirrups fastened to the bar in the uh . . . foosball room; Joni Webb for getting the house’s timeline right:
it’s a total redo – the kitchen and bathrooms. I’m going with 70’s, 80’s with new redo in the last 5 years.
And of course margo . . . for this fun comment:
OMG! Please tell me that my eyes are deceiving me. Is that a leopard rug with head attached draped over the treadmill?? No no no. That is wrong on so many levels. I’ve been known to hang a few bras from my treadmill but never a dead animal. Im going with bunkerhill area i’ve seen some strange buisness in a few houses in that area and this looks about par.
There were no secret disinformation campaigns this time . . . but you never know!

wow, all of that is “$375K in upgrades”?!?
I think I deserve to win this week – no?! hehe!!!! why do the houses always look better when you can see the outside? And now I know – you DON’T show the backyards – so no clues there. ok! Good to know that.
Great game, Gus – can’t wait for Tuesday.
oh and I know what you mean about the fireplace in the attic and all those things, I went back to look at the pictures and was like, huh?????
just when I think i’ve got this game figured out you go throw in some Kingwood on us!
KIngwood? At least I made the pithy comments list!
That is a house that I’d rather be OUTside than INside. Nice pool area for that lot.
I never get anything right.
I’d only be interested if I could have the furnishings too… I mean where am I going to get a clasic foosball table? And all those antlers… that’s going to leave a hole in the decor.
Seriously, they should just pitch a tent and stay OUTside. It’s far better than the “updated” interior. Eeek!
