  1. I've seen it up close..you could actually jump the distance
  2. The problem the city shut off the fountain hoping it would cause the homeless to flock elsewhere. .it didn't work
  3. I'm serious I think we should petition the city city to rename the ball park district, balk park village at this rate
  4. So are they saying they have a abandoned the two tower concept in place of one..that fine with me if it gets this thing going
  5. Good for them..midtown slowly coming together. .now if only sears would remove that bullshit fad
  6. The the subway shop next to the hearsay is available (seriously a subway just a block from another sub way, what the hell were they thinking? )
  7. I have been saying we need to target more middle class, police, nurse, etc.. this is not NYC not everything need to he 1700 one bed room
  8. Just think about not just Ellington but the development for the surrounding area
  9. Now the term game changer gets thrown around alot on here but this is a genuine. Game changer
  10. I have more faint in Hines building something than I do any of the other developers.Hines has should the balls to take a risk on Houston more than the others
  11. The homeless is a three tier problem 1)The mental ill 2) The down on their luck 3) The no longer give a bleep The first one can only legal be detain till they are no longer a threat to themselves or the public. .other words once their meds kick in..the problem being homeless their is no mechanism to ensure they ither re up on their meds or even take them to begin with. .they are the most tragic of the three because it truly not their fault. The second are just as I stated down on their luck..they are the one who bother me the least. .plus they prefer to Barter ( Wash your car, cut your grass..etc)most times they leave you alone and ask that you do the same. The last group is my least liked..they have thrown in the towel on life and prefer to lounge around all day using what little money they get to get drunk or high..They rather sit in their own filth than use the free services like the community center showers (which are open to the homeless from 600 to 700)..they sit around waiting for the other free services to open ( church serving breakfast, homeless shelter serving lunch, etc).This group I dispise. They don't care about themselves or their surrounding and trash out whole areas
  12. I'm not worried about the ability to convince people to move downtown. .if ypu can get people to spend 1700 to live in a box..the homeless is not going to be a problem. Now the retail district could be another matter..it a place someone who just bought something expensive might not feel comfortable walking down with say a new bought 700 dollar watch... plus if the purpose is to funnel convention goers and hotel guest down that street it needs to be DT most signature block in terms of apperances as well ..more so than even main
  13. However it is a intresting chicken or egg problem. Are the homeless people downtown because of that is were all the services are or are the services downtown because that is where all the homeless are?
  14. It strange it seems the more money they invest downtown the worse the homeless problem is getting. .I don't ever recall seeing so many sleeping all over the place
  15. Apache Corp announced they will be closing their tula office and relocate some to Houston, in line with what will become one of three super regions. .I was just wondering does this increase the odds of them building their tower or decrease it?
  16. The KBR sight I was just at yesterday and was thinking you could easy but a city Centre type place on the size of that land
  17. The sheer amount of space and potential in Houston is staggering. .there are still two others area close to downtown that you could still put massive projects in
  18. Man if That proposal for the theater district goes thu ..Houston Downtown could finally start to live up to it potential
  19. If memory serves moonshiners is a extension of prohibition( or at least from the same guys)
  20. It appears they will be keeping the front section of bayou place. . Which could actually work out for places like hard rock if they shift to say green st or along the new dallas corridor higher visbity..I never noticed how much bayou place back in broke up the flow of the street...
  21. What is the status of the Kor space..I don't see the application in the window anymore, and I never see anybody working on that 7 grill place or whatever it will be ca7 What is the status of the Kor space..I don't see the application in the window anymore, and I never see anybody working on that 7 grill place or whatever it will be ca7
  22. Tear down the brick and restore the front glass Design. ....I'm disgusted by how many beautiful design building were butcher by 80,s obession with plain paneling. ..
  23. The sumiain problem with most thought process is making downtown into a retail destination. .truth not going to ha7at least in our life time...the galleria area just has too huge a advantage in name recognition and size. .Downtown best is to seek out unquine small stores and to get them to cluster in a given area ( Dallas st)...similar to how the downtown bar scene was revived...examples why would I go all the way to sak downtown when the one in galleria would most likely be bigger and connect to more high end stores...of I jus want a day of shopp5...now if I'm from out of town and attending a convention with maybe a hr to spare between prestation..I'm might dip out for a quick bit and to look are that intresting little boutique I saw as I was heading towards m the convention center
