Yahoo! loves Houston
I was just using Yahoo! Maps and something caught my eye. Apparently somebody at Yahoo! is (or was) a Rockets fan. This is the approximate location of Compaq Center (formerly called The Summit, and soon to be the new site of “The Oasis of Love”) where the Rockets summited the NBA championship in 1994 and 1995.
The Dream Team’s two-year reign was fabulous for Clutch City sports fans, and even for non-fans like me who love to watch the home team play ball. It was not so thrilling for a dejected Bob Costas who can be seen slinking off the bottom right corner of the front page of the (now defunct) Houston Post. 
Hey Nils,
I have this shirt! Bought it at Hobby Airport flying out the weekend after the championship. Never noticed Costas, though. Thanks for blogging.
Yours,
JSJ
