    I thought the dedicated turning lane was on the tracks themselves

    I love that Root Sports has their studio there along with some cool adult play spots like House of Blues and Lucky Strike. I think the hotel is going to drive retail, it almost has to. People who stay there are going to want to shop and play conveniently. As of right now there is a solid foundation of development to build on. It makes me wonder that if enough retail and development happens downtown, could Houston become a nice little destination city?

    I walked through here Sunday night and forgot to take pics. I'm surprised Forever 21 is still alive. After walking through the complex I feel GreenStreet has so much potential.

    You know I just barely noticed that yesterday in the Museum District. I think it comes down to just being aware of where you are. Turning left when the train in going both directions isn't allowed but it makes sense that if a train is going the same direction as traffic, then it comes down to just making sure a train isn't coming before turning. Overall that's just my guess. I'm going to contact Metro and ask.

    Yesterday at Christians Tailgate. This is way nicer than I thought it would be. 20150907_181006 20150907_180932 20150907_191038 20150907_180916

    I really think the complaint about the climate is getting old. I do agree with you though 100%. The culture is changing in certain areas of the city. Mainly in the older parts of the city, like from downtown to the TMC. Most of that area is completely walkable. My gf and I walk that area all the time. With the changes being made to Post Oak, I think the area will become way more walkable.

    This is has been the city planning that's been lacking to develop the retail needed downtown. Now that its happening, we should begin to see soft goods pop up soon.

    Yeah you really don't know what you're talking about. The entire plan for retail downtown is already in the works with a major retailer planned for the Sakowitz building. That's why they are upgrading the sidewalks and creating a shopping district.

    I walk 3 blocks to the nearest station before and after work and it's not even a long walk.

    Wow only 20%, that sucks

    Looks like a mini NRG Stadium
  13. j_cuevas713
    Yeah I totally get that, which is fine. It just seems unnecessary for this building.
  14. j_cuevas713
    Exactly! I'm not against landscaping, but this is going to look awful when it isn't cut for a week or 2.

    A mix of good and bad news. I don't want another lot in downtown. Especially since Skanska isn't moving on their tower just yet.
  16. j_cuevas713
    Ok not trying to nit pick but why the heck do we need that strip of grass and those trees as landscaping? Like wouldn't it be cleaner and better maintenance to just have the sidewalk hit the street for better pedestrian access? Just seems like more to maintain with all that grass

    You mean to tell me thats the original building under the Chronicle facade? Holy crap thats beautiful!
  18. j_cuevas713
    Ahh thank you man. This is awesome news! We can't underestimate how great this is for downtown, especially as a nice casual spot downtown to watch the game.
  19. j_cuevas713
    Wth is that rock in the bottom left corner? haha Man did we really think this was ok back in the day to landscape with massive rocks in the middle of the city?
  20. j_cuevas713
    For real! I was blown away. Is that Houston? lol
  21. j_cuevas713
    Downtown is starting to fill in finally! Looking awesome!
  22. j_cuevas713
    Nice more douche bags! Jk kinda BUT on a serious note, imagine if all of the lots in downtown had some sort of tower on it. Downtown would that much more amazing!

    What's the status on Christian's Tailgate?
  24. j_cuevas713
    While I like many of the designs of a lot of these new mid-rises, I wish more were clean and simple like this.

    I noticed the turning lane at Smith and Capitol. And I noticed people turning in front of the train a few streets before that as well, as if they are either afraid to turn on the tracks or they are confused how the turning lane works. And thanks for letting me know they are running the trains thru rush hr, I've just never seen them go past Main during that time. Not saying they don't run at all.
