My thing is; While the new restaurants are cool and all, what ever happened to the supposed retail district they were talking about a few years back. Are those plans DOA now?

Last time i checked , Dallas and Houston downtown resident population was about the same. Just because Dallas has more cranes doesn't mean more residents. Alot of what they're doing is overbuilding their office space in the Uptown/Victory areas at the cost of the CBD.

When i sent my letter to the Mayor back in May, he forwarded it to Robert Eury who is president of Central Houston. If anyone wants to send a letter, try sending a copy to both the Mayor's Office and a copy to Robert Eury of Central Houston. Here are the addresses, hope this helps! For Central Houston: Phone #(713)223-2003 Robert Eury 909 Fannin Suite 1650 Houston, TX 77010 For Mayor's Office: Phone # (713)247-2200 Bill White PO Box 1562 Houston, TX 77251-1562 grey

Yes, i lived in Denver for a while and noticed the big influx of retail and urban activity that the Denver Pavilions initiated. Now there are people walking up and down 16th Street Mall almost every day and it's like an Outdoor Mall basically. I have to say, if the city denies these developers the opportunity, i'm just going to hang up all my hopes for Houston. I might even cry!!! grey

hey large, where you find those pics? grey

these are the truest of words! grey

Interesting. I was wondering when we would start to see the American Apparell stores opening that have been talked about all year. I hope the Houston Pavilions project will actually happen to help aide the success of these businesses. grey

not to mention the ugly orange/brownish brick of the Four Seasons hotel across from the Houston Center. It frustrates me that none of these buildings feel they need to update themselves into the look of the 21st century.

I agree! But it still sucks that Houston lost!

greatly appreciate it DJ. Good lookin' out!

Do you have any renderings? I can't quite create a picture of how that might look but it sounds cool

Midtown Medical Center At 1400 Gray St. & 3808 Main St.
greystone08(returns) replied to Subdude's topic in Midtown
this is somewhat good news. i hope they make parking more convienient than they do in the Medical Center. It frustrates me how the Medical Center is layed out, it's so inconvieient with the parking issue. Basically, you'd better have money for parking in times of an emergency or YOU WILL DIE. -
I agree but it does look better and appeals more at night rather than drab boring lighting. That's just me, i'm a fan of nightlit skylines. I think it's important to have that as well as a great day skyline.

i called the number listed on the website and asked the lady who answered the phone if the project was really going to happen. She almost bit my head off and said, "Off course it'll happen!" She said there's going to be plenty of variety including House of Blues. Estimated time for completion: 2007. I'm just like the next guy, I hope this isn't one of many other Houston projects that fall through but let's hope for the best!
