This theatre is as radical for its time as the Frank Lloyd Wright Theatre (the Kalita Humphreys) was 50 years ago. Let's just hope that this new one is more user friendly and easier to maintain than Mr. Wright's masterpiece.

I have noticed more than a couple of HP'ers at Brothers on Gaston, but they usually slither through the drive-thru rather than walk up to the counter.

Shouldn't that be George Bush's pic on the Heinz bottle, rather than John Kerry's? After all, George Bush, who got himself re-elected President in 2004, is responsible for the economic mess that this country now faces, ketchup (catsup?) and all.

McKinney says no to an arts center, but yes to hockey. McKinney refuses to participate in funding a Collin County arts facility (which Frisco, Allen, and Plano have all approved and agreed to fund), but McKinney thinks yet another hockey rink would be just dandy. I guess we know what their priorities are.

Historical note: Church's Fried Chicken began in San Antonio during the 1950's. So, it has a legitimate claim to being "Texas Chicken" (although I MUCH preferred Leslie's, Church's was certainly a much tastier alternative to that damned Kentucky colonel who pressure-cooked his chicken).

"If you hate America and capitalism, you can take your fascist attitudes elsewhere and impose communist control over their daily lives." Pavel Lishin, describing you as narcissistic does not make me fascist, or communist. In fact, I believe that your incendiary response proves my point.

I can't remember the last time I saw such a gathering of narcissistic children. "I" can't do this when and where I want to; "they" won't let me have what I want when I want it; "I" don't care about anybody else but me!!! Grow up, get a life.

Congratulations to the students, faculty, and administrators at Booker T., as well as all the private sector folks who raised the additional money and made this happen. And to those whiny parents who complained when they were inconvenienced by the temporary move, I look forward to seeing your good wishes and apologies for trying to mess up the redevelopment process for your own selfish desires. Oh, never mind, I am sure that you have moved on, by now.

Oh, yeah. I can just see Angela Hunt and the entire McKinney Avenue business, residential, and cultural constituency supporting a homeless shelter at the Hard Rock. NIMBY.

Folks, this is not transit-oriented redevelopment, and this is not Lake Highlands anything. It is located at Skillman and Northwest Highway, miles from any DART line, and you can expect more big-box retailers. Score: cars 1, trees 0.
