    I drove past it yesterday it's just a parking lot. It's even less a plaza than I thought

    I can't find the article, but I do remember reading that one of the reasons that response times were slow is a lot of HPD are on "special teams" e.g. drug task forces Found the quote after some digging This article is from last year https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/investigations/article/houston-police-response-times-18091539.php

    Sounds like the most fun kind of demolition

    "Red Zone" sounds like a sports bar

    Is the facade done yet?

    Reminds me a little of the Sydney opera house. I wonder at what point a screen is so big it distracts players.

    They put up "now hiring signs" all over the neighborhood this weekend

    Looking back, its unclear to me what curbs were added - and google maps hasn't been updated because its so recent. The construction photos make it look like any of dozens of roads in houston with medians - lots of turning lanes and curb cuts, with minimal protection of the cross walk at the tips of the medians. Does someone have a diagram of the project with the places people don't like marked?

    The photos in the listing are good historical photos of the area

    I wonder if it will open before ∑ternal Beauty - they have the sign outside and some metal framing inside but no work in months

    I couldnt get my q card replaced easily, so I temporarily started using the app and it’s been good enough I never got a q card

    $63 is low enough to legit do it for a block party or a birthday party

    Walking across at least two blocks of parking every direction before you even head to the place that is a couple minutes walk is not that walkable. This is coming from someone who will walk a mile downtown to do stuff regularly - for unplanned, spontaneous before or after game events, it has to be a maximum of one block away or it is not part of the conversation.

    There are not that many restaurants and bars within easy walking distance of minute maid. Besides the two italian restaurants next to the stadium (not exactly pre-/post- gaming places), the closest cluster are the hotel based bars and restaurants around discovery green (minimum 2 block walk), followed by downtown (7 blocks to main street) and EaDo bars (6 blocks and going under the freeway). Of course more organic development like wrigleyville would be great, but the Astros literally own the land around the stadium. They either have to do the development themselves or sell the blocks off. Oh and my dream development would include a cheap bar and grill that I can suggest to my friends to go to before or after the game
