    My pics were larger than 1 MB but thanks TexasVines I figured it out I believe. Here are some pics of the aloft hotel: Here are some pics of Sage St. west of the Galleria: St. George's Place on Hidalgo St.: New apartment complexes along San Felipe at Fountainview and Winrock: Random shots:

    I took some pictures of the hotel plus some of the area west of the galleria but I am not sure how to upload them. I have a flickr account if that helps.

    Well I took pictures of the current state of the aloft hotel and it looks like 4 or 5 stories of hotel on top of 4 stories of parking currently. It will definitely be much taller than the rendering on the sign in post 26. I also took some pictures of the surrounding area west and sw of the Galleria. It has changed much over the past few years. Hopefully when I get back to San Marcos I can put them on my comp and upload them.

    I did mean Yorktown. Thanks for finding the thread for it.

    I couldn't find a thread about this, which is pretty surprising considering this building is already at least 10 stores tall and was rather large. Unfortunately, I couldn't see what the building was called but it said "Mixed Use". I was driving west down Westheimer and noticed it. It was before York St. Maybe someone can shed some more light on this. I will be back in the area after Christmas and I'll bring my camera.

    Is there a large Islamic community in this part of Houston? Just curious to why this location was chosen.

    A little bit steep... but I doubt that will last for too long.

    The original rendering (from page 1 near the bottom) looks pretty good for an Embassy Suites. Hopefully we get something along the lines of that rendering, I especially like how the roof isn't flat and it isn't completely a box.

    Is the bowling alley even up yet? What is it, Lucky Stripe?

    Glad to hear another person share my dislike of palm trees in Houston. They should have went with some oaks trees, Houston style.

    I believe it was the W.

    Where is the closest grocery store in that area? I'm considering moving into an area along the light rail as I might be working at the TMC and was just trying to get an idea of what day-to-day life might be living in the downtown area. Thanks.

    It is north of Westchase and Northeast of the Energy Corridor. I believe it is a few miles North of I10 and BW8. There are a lot of office buildings being built/have been built along NW portion along BW8, also W portion of BW8.

    Personally I think these TC concepts in the burbs are great because as Pearland grows, it can replace those surface parking lots with retail, offices, or residential. I don't think it would make much sense to build vertical in Pearland as it currently is. I really do like how Sugarland and The Woodlands have evolved their "city centers." Having those malls in close proximity doesn't hurt. What I would like to see next, hopefully in the near future, is Park&Ride service added.

    As you move east and south of the energy corridor you enter Alief from the south and clusters of low income apartments to the west. Parts of Alief can be pretty bad but for the most part, the whole is area pretty nice and surprisingily well established.
