    Eh. You probably would've made the cut. I biked over around that time to make the line at 7 AM and estimate that I was safely among the first 50 people. The branded Midtown tote bag was nice. Also appreciated that they opened doors early.

    I know this is an old thread, but the recent houston flickrstream shows a lot of good images of this building, I'd say it was a pretty good design that culminated quite nicely.

    wow, best day for Houston sports in forever, Astros beat the Giants 7-5, 4 W's in a row, Dynamo beat Real Salt Lake 3-2 on a goal with litterally seconds left in the game, and Texans win their 2nd preseason game against the Saints 27-14!

    Pseudo-subway, sounds cool, and is better for the community, isn't it? But, looks like not too many people are happy about additional funds provided by the CoH. Chron Article: http://blog.chron.com/newswatch/2011/07/metro-city-to-pay-for-more-for-east-end-rail-line/

    Of course I would prefer (Philly) Center City's street life as opposed to getting a Comcast Center( their new tallest tower that really did wonders for its skyline). But right now, Houston's DT skyline hasnt changed in a real long time( even with some notable additions), and in the short term,I think an immediate impact to Houston's skyline would be more beneficial than adding more office workers. If this were a resedential project, I'd understand. But to an outsider, adding a 700 ft+ tower to the skyline will stay in that persons mind more than adding 700 office workers that that person will more than likely not even see first hand. I mean on average, what, an office worker spends less than 30 minutes actually on the streets of DT? If were lucky, a new office tower will bring along a retail storefront, and a restaurant or two. A visitor will recognize a change to the skyline more than the addition of a few hundred people, and a new office tower doesn't neccesarily equal more people/street life to DT, it may end up being just a transfer of office workers from an older building to a newer building. But, yeah, in the long term, I do think adding density to DT is better than just a few tall towers.

    fun day @ Galveston, despite cali-cold water; also spotted some blubonnets( didn't think they grew there)

    if its of any significant height, it wont make that much of an impact considering its seperated only by a block from the state's tallest tower, but its a good thing the Chase Tower is relatively skinny, but when viewed from the skyline district, it looks like BoA will block it anyways; oh well, looks like it will make an impact from every other angle.
