The new owners of this townhome on Reinecke St. in Rice Military “obviously are having some difficulties,” writes reader CK, who snapped this photo of a sign next to the front driveway:

signs that say please stop throwing bottles at our house only encourage people to throw more bottles at your house.
“Shyann”??? Wow, I love the new way to spel naymes.
What fun!
I think that would bother me so much I would try to figure out when it happens and then fight back with my own bottles!
I guess they are lucky not to have eggs thrown that end up smelling.
You should see how the PETA idiots throw eggs every once in a while at my neighbor’s house because he has mounted animal heads viewable inside from the street. D’ya get the irony in that?
PETA’s activist aren’t really a smart bunch. Everyone I’ve ever talked to comes off as a blithering idiot.
If you want to be a vegetarian or vegan that fine by me, but don’t ruin my enjoyment of meat goodness.
Ahh yes…. meat goodness. What a quaint way to put that. I whole brisket heartedly agree.
Why were people throwing bottles at their house, anyways? I almost want to make them a nicer looking sign.
I have not been able to find anyone that knows short of ringing the doorbell and asking them…. which I ain’t gonna do.
Wow, that is really close to my house! Could it be plastic bottles from the riders on their way to the bicycle shop? I almost cringe to ask if they are children making the sign with help from their parents? Mommy’s Little Activists???
“Shyann”??? Wow, I love the new way to spel naymes.

Maybe that’s the way she spells it? Or he spells it?
Maybe you are making an assumption about them because of the spelling? Maybe I won’t make a comment about you making an assumption about it but would like to?
Stop fighting :’(
Lol
Matt, I did not make any assumptions other then commenting on how phonetically weird people spell names these days. As someone who runs the in-house ad agency for a retail chain, I get to see all kinds of registrations and the names you see these days are quite odd. I’m an older, ethnically mixed person and remember when Cheyenne was spelled Cheyenne. Maybe it is a nickname for shy Ann?
I hope that clears up my comment.
Hey, Brad… for the record … I liked your original comment, and only wysh I had posted it fyrst!
I’m so curious about this bottle drama. Who lived there before? Who’s throwing the bottles? Why only at this townhome? I think CK should go check it out & then report back here.
also, Brad: your comment cracked me up.
Just noticed I typed “then” instead of “than”. I know which word to use and when.

Actually it’s the French Canadian version of Cheyenne. I suppose if you’re British, or American, the French Canadians are a little phonetically weird.
It’s also becoming a popular name. Google away.
“I’m an older, ethnically mixed person and remember when Cheyenne was spelled Cheyenne.”
===================================
Unless you were referring to the Sheyenne River in North Dakota…
I would think the bigger concern is all the people in the neighborhood who walk their dogs and don’t clean up after them. I’ve learned to walk around with my head down.
I vote for hurling bottles back at the perps.
Brad, if you have a difficult name to spell and pronounce then it makes you special! From now on please refer to me as NourhilleJeaux.

I have been to the Sheyenne River in ND many times. I’m impressed that someone on here actually knows of it.
ok, so the historic corner marker in the picture says 5,400 Feagan. Making this the corner of feagan and reinicke. through the mildly invasive use of google street view…. i got nothing. *sigh*
I can picture the bottle thrower, ammo in hand and arm cocked, being stopped in his or her tracks by the sign — “Oh, Shyann and Jesse live here now. That changes everything.”

==================================
But said bottle-thrower might also scream out “It’s spelled C-H-E-Y-E-N-N-E!!!” before letting his bottle fly.
Just noticed, the sign could use an exclamation mark.
That’s not Feagan, it’s Floyd on the marker
I know someone who lives over there who gets golf balls in their yard fairly often and once had one come through a window. What’s up with that?

The golfballs were meant for Shyann and Jesse. Instead, they got the bottles and your friend got the golfballs. It’s all a big mix-up at headquarters. We’ll get it sorted out soon. We apologize for the inconvenience.
I think they ought to place a recycling bin next to the sign, for convenience…
A recycling bin may encourage more people to try to toss bottles and make it in!
I guess it’s not much of a neighborhood if you treat each other in such a poor way.
OK so i found them on HCAD. (dont want to put the information on here and invade their privacy) but it appears Jesse and Shyann are indeed New Arrivals. Bought the place on 5/29/09!!!
J Scott - You are making a very uninformed assumption. I suspect that there is someone the current residents know and may have somehow gotten on the bad side of. This person (people) most likely don’t even live there either. We have alot of really great neighbors in Rice Military.
Shyann…Shy Ann… The only way I can say that is with a twang like I would Wynonna (Judd). :P
But yeah, Jesse and Shyann did buy the townhome in late May (another discussion of an aesthetic nature in itself). I think they need to find out what’s going on with the previous owner (a Mr. Majors) and his dear friends…
I witnessed the urban version of cow tipping last night. Kids driving up the street running their car into the trash bins on the street and tipping them over.
