Speaker 4 (02:23):
Producer Anthony Dan It's something longtime residents have been talking
about for years, the fate of our Astrodome. And this
has been a process. For those that don't know about
our Houston Astrodome. It was built back in nineteen sixty
five as the world's first multipurpose domed sports stadium and
for nearly forty years hosted baseball, football, basketball matches, Muhammad
Ali matches countless concerts like Elvis Michael Jackson. Famously, the
(02:45):
movie Selena opens up with her concert at the Dome.
In twenty fourteen, the Dome was listed on the National
Register of Historic Places, then in twenty seventeen designated as
a State Antiquity Landmark, joining the ranks of the Alamo
and State Capital.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Well.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Back in twenty eighteen, there was an initial plan to
transform the dome, but that project eventually got scrapped.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Today, though the Astrodome.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Conservacy Group set to reveal its new plan for the dome.
They say the difference this go around, all the money's
in place in a solid plan to bring it into
the future, so get excited. Finally, some updates about our
historical Houston Astrodome.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
It's about time, right y.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Thank you from the Astrodome to the Astros and the
phenom Jose altwo ve yep. He wins the American League
Silver Slugger Award, the seventh time he's won. This award
goes to the best and most productive offensive players at
each position in the American and National leagues. He has
the most awards for an A Milli second baseman and
(03:41):
is tied with Chicago Cubs Ryan Sandberry for most by
a second baseman in MLB history.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So he is a phenom. He is a savant.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
He is our own Jose al two two congratulations and
we always have our tell me something good stories up
at Sunday ninety nine dot com. You can follow us
on Facebook, x and Instagram and TikTok at Sunday ninety nineties.
Sunday ninety nine point one is Houston's best variety of
the eighties, nineties and today.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And we're talking about names. I'm Dana. That's producer Anthony.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
When my parents looked at me, they didn't have the
name Dana ready to go because they were kind of
waiting to see if I was a boy or a girl.
And then I came out a girl and they were like,
we really wanted to name our boy Dana. So they
ended up naming me Dana. But in the meantime, there
was no name for me Anthony. For two days, the
nurses named me Pollyanna. I think Pollyanna stands for goodie
(04:35):
two shoes, of which I'm not, but that was the
name yet. The nurses named me Pollyanna before I became
a Dana. And we're asking you, because it was our
nearly impossible question if you grow into kind of looking
like the name your parents gave you as a baby,
and so many people do, and we're asking you to
share your name and your name story where did it
(04:57):
come from? And we have got to now, Scarlet, you're
you're calling in from Ridgewood and you're you're new to here,
like you just moved here from Where are you from Texas?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
No, well, I'm actually from Texas, but I'm from a
little one road town. Oh, part of town is Ridgewood,
so I'm like an hour south of Houston.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
All right, Well, do you like your new home?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It's my first home and my three kids are in
there with us, so we're having a great time.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh, Scarlett, excellent. Okay, now you've got kids.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You were a kid once and you got the beautiful
name Scarlet.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Tell us the story.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
So my mom says that it comes from my uncle. Well,
they were born in Nicarawa, and so I'm always wondering
where they got the name Scarlet from. And they say
that they got it from a show.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Over there, from a show Yes, and.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Oh called Scarlet.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I love that name.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
So I guess they like the actress and you were
just you fit the bill and you became Scarlet.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
And I rarely run into other Scarlet, I know, I
have not.
Speaker 1 (06:08):

think your name could start trending Scarlet. I think you're
giving women and well couples the idea right now of
naming their baby Scarlet because it's a beautiful name.
