    I remember that Sugarland had a small hardware store about 10 years ago- it was called Wagner's hardware. It was a nice place to run to when you needed a quick part or something, and you didn't have to stand in line for a long time. It was located next to the Half Price bookstore. They closed,though, thanks to the Home Depot that opened about a mile away... If anything, Midtown needs nice little hardware stores like that, and not a massive sprawl-box to cater to the needs of the surrounding suburbia. Somewhere where you go to buy a pack of nails, or a pipe, or a flowerpot- not somewhere where you buy a stove set, and a 36 pack of Begonias. A small garden center WOULD be nice, though, if balcony gardens become popular.

    They just lost! ARRGH!

    I hope they can get rid of those nasty strip malls in Uptown. The Dominion is coming aliong quite well, too.

    Cold stone is good-only if you are going to go all out. If you want a regular scoop of vanillar, or chocolate, go for the slightly cheaper Marble Slab. If you want a fudge-vanilla-strawberry-marshmallow-babana-creme mix, then go to COld Stone.

    The Univision sign has been there for a few years, I think, BUT, the Broadstone "lofts" can testify to the recent status of that pic.

    Well, AT LEAST they are trying to fill it in a bit, sintead of making one giant strip with seas of parking. Sure, the sea may be bigger, but there are more islands.

    I rememeber from the CHRON article a few weeks back that this will have ground level retail, and a parking deck.

    I thought it was rentals...the original Dominion (WAH!) was supposed to be owner occupied.

    Can you describe them? Facade material? etc?
  10. UrbaNerd
    VERY cool!
  11. UrbaNerd
    WOOT!

    It is uuugly. But, it does lok like a prison, which is somewhat of justice in itself.

    They should make a transitional plaza, which would be a large sunken plaza accesible by stairs and maybe an elevator, too, and the plaza would have its own shops, and it could be terraced. That would be cool!

    December, they said ( or was that the Shamrock? ) Or was it spring 2005?
  15. UrbaNerd
    317,000? Don't some of the units in the Shamrock start at 180,000?

    Gables has some interesting projects in Dallas, so they might be able to do something here.
  17. UrbaNerd
    Yeah, I agree.
  18. UrbaNerd
    Hmm..looks like it got affected by the Orion somehow.... Still, looks cool!

    The rendering looks waaay different from the real thing. if you look, the real one has more arched windows. And I was wondering- is that borwn facade part of the new design, or will it be painted?
  20. UrbaNerd
    I like it. It looks like some expensive skyscraper that would be built in Hong Kong or dubai or something.
  21. UrbaNerd
    This thing is going to be great!
  22. UrbaNerd
    I hope this is going to be a good development, and nothing crappy like gables Augusta.
  23. UrbaNerd
    Great stuff, man! It is a huge shame that some of these beautiful buildings were torn down!
  24. UrbaNerd
    Thats not nice.... What if one of the tenants had a gun, and the people walked in while he/she was showring or something?
  25. UrbaNerd
    Yeah, there is a massive need for nurses. The TMC seems to be the fastest growing district in HOU so far, with several buildings popping up every year, and many more planned. I love it. Oh, and about it doubling in size- if anyone has seen the Channel 11 report from a few weeks ago, they said that they might even expand into midtown, and towards other areas.
