  1. Is anything going to change with North MacGregor Way/South MacGregor Drive from Almeda to Cambridge?
  2. is rarely around these parts of the internet anymore...

  3. They've only built that in the last year. Its very nice.
  4. What's the total cost? I'm feeling generous today.
  5. Could a small watermarked version at least be posted for us to see what you've been given?
  6. They own the shopping center across the street? What do they use it for? I've noticed a few churches in the area have done similar.
  7. I had typed a one word post earlier this week that had said "Brainwashed". Editor deleted it and then posted that we stay on topic. What I meant was that for the people of this church to be so consumed with spending money on this, rather than spend the money on our own homeless, unemployed, orphaned children, disabled veterans, seniors, or just the disabled/handicapped tells me that they are more concerned with the image of Christianity, rather than the message of Christianity. Its attitudes like this that drove me away from the Church and have continued to keep me away. Just my .02 cents. I hope this post doesn't get deleted too. EDIT: Someone mentioned "Well, at least they didn't build it taller, like another one somewhere else.." The only reason they didn't build taller, per the pastor of the church on the news, was that the FAA would allow it. So you can only imagine how tall this thing would be with no restrictions - and thus that much more wasted money on the symbolism of Christianity, and not the substance.
  8. Like any new artificial development, it will take a few years for the right tenants to settle in.
  9. Key maps are must have of the Houston Architectural Elite! (I own two!)
  10. I'm changing my vote. Thanks MyEvilTwin. You're right, I never bothered to drive around to the back!
  11. In 1990 we came and stayed here over night (from Louisiana) while attending my first Astro's game at the dome. I remember swimming in this pool and I remember our beachball going right over the side!
  12. BINGO. Which means they should focus on: ..which I think would better suit downtown and give people more motivation to park (think: Village Arcade parking garage). In the meantime.. I do want the Pavilions to succeed! I think most national chains that attempt to open here are coming in knowing they won't turn a profit for a while. I think the hope is that once they do start making money, they'll be in on the ground floor and won't have to worry about inflated rents.
  13. This should have been expected - recession or not. These type of developments are not organic, and when implanted in areas where there is no real NEED (not want or desire) they always fail. The difference will be whether the management company will be smart enough to do like the Park Shops and rebound with parcels that cater to the downtown day-time crowd, eg. restaurants & service oriented businesses. Retail will suffer here until the residential element grows.
  14. A neighborhood less than a mile from where Aliana is building, called Eaglewood on Bissonnet, was featured on KPRC news tonight. They've had a rash of break-ins and car burglaries. All I can say for West Oaks Village is that we got a Constable Contract for that very reason. Oh, that and the fact that now the one, yes - count him, one Fort Bend Sheriff Deputy that would patrol our neighborhood will probably be spending more time in Eaglewood & Mission Bend in general.
  15. Its the unforeseeable nature of school zoning that makes me so weary of moving further into this area. Aliana looks good so far though. It should shape up nicely.
