Lol! Cute!
Awww.. LOL
Aw, that’s so cute! The one in the back seat looks nervous, but I’m sure the other two are very good drivers.
I’ve never seen a dog just sitting in the car …
What does Dash do?
Jumps in the front, jumps in the bakc, jumps in the front jumps in the back — makes me hit a tree.
or on a long distance trip … howls howls howls himself into exhaustion … wakes up and howls some more. I got a doggie safety belt … HA HA HA
ha! cute!
The dogs are great, but I’m distracted: Is that the famous “Disco Kroger?”
I know that’s the A-pillar of the car in the upper left, but at first glance, it looks like there’s an enormous “concert shell semi-dome” over Kroger, with neon constellations. : )
I can answer this one: Nope, that is not Disco Kroger. That’s the slightly less famous “Kroger Signature Behind RubinSmo Manor.” Not as catchy as “Disco Kroger,” but it does have better produce.
Thanks, Rhonda. It’s a bitching Kroger, lucky you. : )
Are there any other places in Montrose/Houston we talk about that you would like photos of? Between us, I’m sure Lindsey and I could give you a photo feast.
Yeah, thanks! Any chance you or Lindsey would mind venturing out in the heat and taking a picture of downtown, right at street-level, in the thick of lots of buildings and stuff? Or maybe another view of the skyline? I like buildings, a lot. If it’s too hot, that’s okay. : )
If that’s a no-go, could you please post that photo of Lisa standing outside the Clover Grill, with a “Timothy head” growing out of her right shoulder? That one’s a classic.
Damn…I wish I’d seen this post earlier. I had meetings downtown today! One of those meetings is in the building formerly known as The Enron Building. It’s now occupied by a large oil company, so the slight scent of indulgence and greed still permeates the walls.

I’m totally stealing that to whisper in some lucky guy’s ear. First I have to learn how to translate it into French, for added squirm-factor. : )

Then it would be “Planetarium Kroger.” And it would fit into Someone Like You. Read that, yet? 😉
AAUUUGGHHHH!!!
Heh.
That’s weird. I just left you a comment, but it didn’t appear, when I hit “post comment.” I was wondering if that’s “Disco Kroger.” : )
Um… and I can see it, now.
Sorry to leave so many comments.
It’s a pretty bad habit.
I’m getting better at not leaving tons of comments, so often.
You can leave as many comments as you wish. Since Rhonda already answered your Disco Kroger question, I can add a bit of trivia. This Kroger used to be the site of an Apple Tree grocery store, where I took Steve R to buy groceries back in the early 90s. I don’t know why he didn’t shop at Disco Kroger.
Anonymous is me.
Anonymous is I?
ARGH.
They are so cute!
That’s a cool Kroger ours is about a million years old. Buuuut they are building a new one right next to the old one. I hope it’s as flashy as your’s. And what is the differance between this Kroger and the disco Kroger?
Disco Kroger is older and is very near the intersection that’s considered the heart of gay Houston, Montrose and Westheimer. Supposedly, this is the store where all the gay men shop. I don’t think that’s true so much anymore.
The signature Kroger replaced an Apple Tree around 1994. They cleaned it up a little, but it was still not the nicest store (of that time) in Montrose. So they tore that one down and put the signature Kroger in its place around 1997. Bigger, brighter, with wider aisles. It has a large wine section, a sushi bar, a deli, and a larger selection of fish and other meats in the butcher shop. Sometimes live musicians play there. It has a great produce section, with more organic choices, and a wider array of health-conscious foods. There’s also a bigger floral department than in Montrose’s other grocery stores.
Its big competition is Randalls (higher prices, and at least at one time, boycotted by “the gays”) and the new Whole Foods (which is not really new anymore, but the former one was so cramped and old that it’ll always feel new). There’s a Fiesta for lower prices but also a sacrifice of some quality. (Fiesta’s a good place to buy the dogs’ chicken feet and necks, turkey neck, and various animal organs, however, as well as whole smelt and sardines that are NOT from China.)
This signature Kroger and the new Whole Foods pulled all the upscale River Oaks shoppers, thereby driving the old Rice Epicurean Market out of the neighborhood.
That is your Montrose grocery shopping guide!
Ha!
Poor Margot.
When the girls go to the store with me, Sophie usually ends up as the driver, and Phoebe the passenger in the front seat. (They don’t share the space of one seat well, just like 2 little kids. “You touched me! Stay on your side! Mom!”)
I always knew it was Sophie who’d do the driving.
Poor Margot. You know her better, but from the look on her face I’m guessing she’s thinking, “You’re not actually going to let those two drive, are you?!”
You could very well be right. And actually, no one REALLY knows Margot. She likes being an enigma, as she thinks it goes with her whole princess schtick.
*if only they could talk . . .*
if only they could talk…
I’d have to spend all my time and energy buying them off. You know how dogs are. If my editor, mother, or anyone else offered a pat on the head, a ride in a car, or a raw chicken foot, those dogs would spill all my secrets.
