  1. will the city allow the heavy equipment to remain on the property until the bankruptcy is resolved? What an eyesore! At least they could return the sidewalk to its original state.
  2. The implosion is scheduled for 7 a.m. Sunday. Houston police will have streets in a two-block radius of the implosion zone shut down. Project managers discourage anyone from coming down to see the implosion in person for safety reasons
  3. Perhaps the Four Season's hotel roof would prove to offer a good view. Too soon?
  4. Any suggestions on where to go for the best view? Planning to bike downtown and find the top of a near by garage. Looking for details to follow on road closures.
  5. So what's the plan for their White Oak location? Mix use retail/residential anyone?
  6. I attended a private event held in the Astrodome Suites and never knew Roy's kinky side. There was the jungle room (complete with trees and ropes), a Roman bath that could accommodate a dozen guests as well as a room with a film projector behind a mirror. Can't remember all suites, but those are the one I remember most.
  7. As for the other side, a well maintained swimming area similar to the Bellaire Aquatic Center would be on my wish list.
  8. Plus there's a Beck's Prime at the clubhouse. Nice place for lunch.
  9. Check out this website to see more plans for the bayou http://www.buffalobayou.org
  10. I guess I should have called this post save Buffalo Bayou in Memorial Park. Many RO residents enjoyed the privacy the bayou offered behind their homes and the country club. A mutual agreement was reached so they have bowed out. Ironic since many are behind "Trees for Houston" and have donated a handsome sum to reforest the park. I think I'll enjoy the entertainment area of the bayou from Shepherd to 77002, but would equally enjoy the "wild" side of this small area of a natural habit between 610 and Shepherd. The map shows nearly all of the tree line along that stretch of the bayou will be removed. Seems like when Allison hit, the bayou along the park didn't suffer much of the flood's wrath but rather inundated downtown when it met up with White Oak Bayou. It's all about making money, but improving the bayou along Memorial Park to create more gritty bike trails, public launch areas for kayaking, bird trails, etc. for those of us that enjoy a natural environment as opposed to a profitable river walk knock-off is quite appealing to me.
  11. Well, I'm hoping for a lively discussion after that post. Guess I'm jaded living close to a bayou that was paved before I got here and now have to pay drainage fees for civil engineer's "solution" to flooding here.
  12. http://www.savebuffalobayou.org/ Any thoughts, especially among landscape architects?
