Crazy thing is, it's my main go-to to get to midtown. As crappy as it is, it's the best option out there at the moment.- 202 replies

Drewery Place: Multifamily High-Rise At 2850 Fannin St.
Nucleareaction replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
Superblock thread suggests 7k of retail. So this project will put the total to 21k. Not terrible, but still you'd think more is possible. Need that HCC parking lot to be replaced, and a few of the other lots to be filled as well.- 1,569 replies

Drewery Place: Multifamily High-Rise At 2850 Fannin St.
Nucleareaction replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
I wonder why there is so little GFR? Keep in mind, I am NOT complaining that it isn't enough. Just observing that with the park right there and many assumed pedestrians, a few restaurants/cafes/shops could probably survive in this area.- 1,569 replies

I don't disagree with the improvement to the local area, the google map view is still a wasteland. A bayou path would be awesome, and other developments would surely help deaden the noise. But parking in that area (as mentioned) is a huge issue and any other development will for sure change the feel of the neighborhood from what it currently is - my opinion of "gentrification" is neutral. At the end of the day, I think i would still feel pretty mad as a resident that a business with connections is able to operate a concert venue with legal impunity simply because of who they know. Thankfully, I don't live there and my area DID manage to get a local restaurant/Miami beach club setup to tone it down after dark.

Having ridden past this venue several times in the past few months, it still blows my mind this was ever allowed to happen. I look at the bands coming through and think, if I owned a house in that area I'd burn that f***ing stage to the ground. In The Woodlands you can hear concerts all the way in the back on some nights. I can't imagine how noisy this venue is in the heart of a neighborhood.

La Colombe d'Or Hotel At 3410 Montrose Blvd.
Nucleareaction replied to Urbannizer's topic in Montrose
Pretty much. Some people simply don't want mass transit upgrades of any form, especially in front of their business. So myopic, it hurts the brain.- 484 replies

La Colombe d'Or Hotel At 3410 Montrose Blvd.
Nucleareaction replied to Urbannizer's topic in Montrose
No, just stuck in development/legislation hell. Richmond has yet to have major work done on it because the city doesn't want to have to destroy it all over again for the rail. They also re-designed the University line to skip over 59 and thus out of Culberson's district. The Uptown line is being developed for buses at the moment, but there is outcry that the structure of the new bus lanes is more substantial than a bus would need - the true intention being a rail line that goes where the bus line is being built.- 484 replies

La Colombe d'Or Hotel At 3410 Montrose Blvd.
Nucleareaction replied to Urbannizer's topic in Montrose
At this point, I believe neither wants it: Culberson doesn't want rail going down Richmond, and Uptown management doesn't want rail down post oak. I believe the reason for the latter is that businesses would "be hurt by the construction", and the fear of the bus lane is that its a precursor to rail. The controversy being: why do they want to pour rail-ready concrete for the bus lane if it's just a bus lane?- 484 replies

The Allen: Mixed-Use Development At Allen Parkway & Gillette St.
Nucleareaction replied to jmontrose's topic in Going Up!
My fantasy, along the lines of this project, is something happening to the site at Montrose & Allen Parkway. If the Khan Foundation ever gives it up, I'd love to see a multi-purpose mall/residence/office space there. Tiers of restaurants facing the Bayou, sidewalk access, etc. At least this prime plot is getting the project it deserves!- 1,647 replies

Sometimes the old-ass commentators do try and imitate some of the plays, yes. It's quite sad. I'd imagine the screens will show the game to an exclusive pass crowd, and imagine those are just banners for the TV background. The blue square is the glass of the walkway from the conference hall to the Hilton. EDIT: hahaha, confused right and left

What the hell does "long line of sight and safety" have to do with where parking spots are? Just another suburban development.
