Missed Connections really does have it all: creeps, midgets and hamsters. Here's a few more MCs that we found interesting. Whole Foods checker - w4m OK, I'm on the rebound, But you, sir, are ADORABLE. I wish to leave smooches all over you! Alas, you said you were busy tonight.

The homes in the area, which were largely built by well-known architects for well-known families, have been meeting the same fate as many others in Houston (think Bellaire, West University, and creeping in to older neighborhoods - sixth ward, Heights and beyond).
