        Eric Lanoix writes: Due to the Holiday season, the
        Clear Lake Tango Club is postponing the bi-weekly
        milonga at Cyrus Persan Grill (every other Sunday) until
        January. Thanks for dancing with us and stay tuned for
        updates...  Until then, the Clear Lake Tango Club invites

        [Technical detail: Apparently E NASA Road 1 has been
        renamed NASA Parkway.  Google Maps have yet to get the
        memo.  Yahoo! Maps has.  Both map services show their
        data is derived from NAVTEQ, so go figure.  The link below
        says 911 E NASA Road 1, which is the same as NASA Parkway.]
