Okay go drive up W.Airport toward Eldridge in Sugar Land. About 3-4 miles going north toward eldridge look West and see something developing. I don't have pictures because the building is unidentified! Sorry if I don't make sense.

We still have no idea. Can you describe the thing for us? That is like saying "the aliens on the planet galzbrack have invented something" without telling us exactly what the heck they have invented. Thanks.

Thank you FedEX!

Are they going to need security for people to get out of their parking lot?

This seems like a big warehouse type of job; all nice and sprawly. Why the glee over this, then?

Is this what you all are talking about? I don't necessarily believe it is THAT great, nor do I believe they MUST HAVE hit the jackpot. Maybe we have some crackpots... JK.
[edit: for those interested, there is more info on Sugar Land's website. That website didn't sit well with me though. See "Liveable Neighborhoods"
What the heck, here I'll post the article:
"Tramontina began a 300,000-square-foot expansion to their West Airport facility. The expansion includes facilities and taxable improvements of $9 million, equipment and taxable personal property of $1 million and inventory of $11 million."]

Tramontina is a kitchen utensil manufacturer if i'm not mistaken. At my house we have a few Tramontina pots and pans.

Be happy they are here instead of Made in China!

Sounds like a cheap brand that should be Made In China... but nonetheless, I am pleased. I would be boycotting them, with the rest of the world's communist nation's products if it was Chineese.

Haha... Tramontina is actually Brazilian. Their stuff is high quality, not cheaply made stuff from China.

I dont know about the Brazilian made for Tramontina pots. I have new set here on my desk and it clearly says MADE IN CHINA.

Why would you have new pots on your desk?

Perhaps while unpacking the box they were forced to place the pots on or near the desk - while hoping for a better more permanent home for the pots. I think we should name the place the pots end up...
...PUTS (Place Under The Stove)- in keeping with the current trend in 'un-cool' cities across America copying London and New York City.
