Save River Oaks.

Just read this bit on IMDB and it was the first time I reacted to an IMDB blurb regarding my home state.

The poor River Oaks theatre in Houston just might get replaced with a Barnes & Noble. That's a sad, sad, thing. It's an independent film house in the Rice Village area, a vintage, majestic theatre. Now, I'm not sure how sales have been, but to be replaced by B&N is like getting rid of a '57 Chevy for a MINI. It just doesn't feel right.

sounds good. The most ridiculous question I got wrong was tomatillo sauce being red....woops.

Oh man. That sucks. That trully trully sucks. River Oaks theater is by far one of the few 'orginial' land marks that Houston has to offer.

Just like Cactus Video closed its doors after 30 years of independent service.

Slowly but surely...Houston is becoming developers heaven - well at least in the inner loop.
