Has anybody else noticed the littel Snoopy dog house on top of that Westheimer apartment building? I’ve always thought that was silly-looking.
Cane Island is getting a Dog Ambassador? In Bridgeland we just have that lame-O duck, Bridgeland Bill. Our mascot *should* be Marvin the MUD Tax.
Saving a stranded manatee near Trinity Bay; Sushi for The Heights. Mmmm, I’ve never had manatee sushi before.
Yeah…I saw that bit on Cane Island and had the same thought cross through my head. What kind of consumer responds to a dog ambassador or a Bellagio-like conservatory or a performance-capable marketing trailer or an ambassador suite? Don’t they know that they’re paying for every bit of the gimmickry? (That’s a rhetorical question, BTW. I already know the answer. And Cane Island is hardly the worst offender.)
