Papa Bush and Ted Cruz

I believe Papa Bush lived (at least for the last part of his life) in Tanglewood, also very upscale, but over in the Galleria/Uptown area. All the boys in ZZ Top grew up in that neighborhood, though I don't think it was as upscale then as it is now.

Enron evil doer Jeff Skilling lived in River Oaks before it all went bust. I believe prosperity gospel preacher Joel Osteen lives in River Oaks.

Honestly, not sure it's a neighborhood I'd want to live in if I could afford it.

Sounds like there are a lot of cocksuckers living there.

Prior to this the most notable news item was a lawyer parking his Sherman tank in the street.
