Finally! My burning question has been answered. I guess if I had taken the time, I could have researched it myself, but then it wouldn't have given my friend Nam something to do.

I don't know what the previous discussion was but I have to say that the Riverwalk they built in The Woodlands is pretty dang nice. We were there on Saturday to see Up With People!
Does anyone else remember Up With People? Every time I sing the theme song I just get stares.

As for becoming the "Venice of Houston" I wonder if the developer has ever been to Venice?
