    I know buffalo bayou isn’t very glamorous but I do wish planners had incorporated it more into the city instead of just building over it with most people not even realizing where it is.

    Long time Houstonian who has walked that trail many times. I've seen that door lots of times and never knew what it was for. Not trying to stir anything up because I am a man of science but I have also walked that trail at night and have seen shadows and heard strange noises in that area. Foot steps and voices but no one around to make them. I assumed it was from the upstairs bridge but now I'm having some doubts. You should go there at night and see if you experience anything similar.

      Science is simply an explanation of the natural world. The spiritual world is far less observable but equally real. The Bible can give you a glimpse into the spiritual world and also aid in the study of the natural world.

    Howard Hughes and Gene Tierney are both buried in a cemetery in Houston. Hughe's crypt has a (somewhat) dilapidated iron fence around it. When we visited many years ago, someone had left roses on his grave.

    I ride my bike on those trails.
    Recently that are seems to be closed to the public as are other nearby areas needing maintenance or repairs, likely due to high water after the rains.
    Also be cautious as there are several “residents” that live under and around the various bridges.
    I’ve not had an issue with any of them, but I stick to the trails and don’t poke around in their business.
    Starting in Memorial park, along the bayou, then through the Hieghts makes a nice loop.

      I don’t recall that. I do remember it being a regular occurrence to have the fire department come and shut the party down for the night, due to the head count (overcrowding).
      Crawling out of that cave and into the city streets use to just make the trip so much more intense.
      One night, when we came to the surface (and we were frying), they were filming Terminator 2 in downtown - shooting a scene with a bunch of pyrotechnics - RIGHT THERE, about a block away --

    • @Nomed38
      @Nomed38 6 місяців тому +6

      That is incorrect as some cannonballs have gunpowder inside of them so they will explode on impact with a target. One way to tell if it is an exploding shell is to roll it around, if you hear something tumbling inside of it then you've found one. Some people have had such a cannonball by their fireplace only to have it heat up due to the fire and explode.
