Fill it with the tears of Astros fans who went from watching games at The Eighth Wonder of the World to Ten-Run Field, to the Juice Box. :nonono:
Hello ladies. Look at your posts. Now back to mine. Now back at your posts now back to MINE. Sadly, they aren't mine. But if your posts started using Optimismâ„¢, they could sound like mine. This post is now diamonds.

I'm on a horse.

There's some thought that this may be the best thing to do. Convert it into a major casino & hotel. Then right across the street there are the empty lots where astroworld used to reside - enough room for a couple nice sized casino hotels.

I'm not a gambler, but I'd love to see us have our own "little vegas" right here in Houston.

I'm torn between the snowglobe idea and my love of organized crime.

I literally live right down the street from it on Kirby, near the village area. It's a piece of crap, it's been rotting for years, they have nothing going good for it, and it costs literally millions to maintain. Either destroy it, or do something with it, can't let it just sit there.

^ True, and also small wonder that America will never have a Colliseum *.

Let's build some more McDonalds!
