  1. What is the best way to email the mayor? I doubt he would even read an email. It is infuriating that they don't want to make us into a city that is more livable! All anyone has to do is go to the Heights Bike trail to see the hundreds of people biking, walking, roller blading etc to see how successful it can be. The Heights is probably one of - if not the best - example of what a neighborhood can be. The surge in prices there prove that people want to get out of their cars at least once they get home from work.
  2. I wish it was taller. It's so depressing to go to Austin and see all those tall buildings under construction. We haven't had anything over 60 stories since the 80's.. Sigh.
  3. A neighbor told me that Hines and SCI are moving forward in 2024. SCI with a new headquarters high rise and Hines with mixed use high rises and the garage facing Stanford Street. Would love to see the plans.
  4. I think they could tear down the garages and build taller ones and add apartments above those still leave the office buildings.
  5. I hate that we haven’t had anything over 50 or so built since the 80’s in Houston.
  6. Ugh! Now Dallas and Austin will have taller buildings than us.
  7. The best thing about this photo is the soon to be hidden Cosmopolitan.
  8. I have never heard of that street. I need to drive by! I think the apartments next door use it to access their garage, so I can't imagine it being abandoned.

  10. I am sure this is somewhere on the going up, but I couldn't find it. Does anyone know how tall the new complex will be? I would guess Avalon Diner will be next to go.
  11. Great news for that part of Westheimer. On a side note, someone I know got their car broken into while at Good Night Charlies when parked on Ralph. Too bad people don't just work for a living rather than steal! I hope there is enough parking for all of this. Very nice concept, and the developer has a great eye for detail.
  12. Too bad The Wilshire wasn't about 10 stories taller. It would have looked better instead of the stair stepping down in height between these 3 buildings. Meanwhile, the lady in red is saying "I'm late for my shift to Target!"
  13. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/transportation/2018/06/01/288149/work-starts-on-billion-dollar-project-to-replace-houston-ship-channel-toll-bridge/amp/ This may not be the right place for this, but how nice to have a bridge with design elements. It should be able to be seen from near downtown.
