  1. Unless there are deed restrictions this will be built. They could gather their money and sue and lose like those folks who sued over the Ashby project. There are already multiple high rises in the area.

  3. A Colorado-based entertainment and hospitality firm is bringing the largest music venue in its portfolio to North Texas. Notes Live will debut its $220M Sunset Amphitheater in McKinney following approval of a development deal for the project. The open-air venue at the northeast corner of US 75 and the Sam Rayburn Tollway will hold up to 20,000 guests and is expected to open in 2026, according to a news release. The 46-acre facility will include 250 luxury fire pit suites, a reserved seating area, a landscaped grass berm and owners suites. The venue is designed to accommodate major touring acts and is slated to put McKinney on the map as a live music destination. Notes Live is expected to be a boon for prosperity in McKinney, injecting more than $3B into the local and regional economy in its first 10 years and creating more than 1,300 jobs. More than $50M in grants and incentives were awarded to the developer at the April 16 council meeting. Construction is slated to kick off in August. https://www.bisnow.com/dallas-ft-worth/news/economic-development/multimillion-dollar-amphitheater-headed-to-mckinney-following-approval-of-development-agreement-123829
  4. When I went to my mothers for the Total Eclipse I started to take 1604 around to bypass IH10 through downtown. 1604 was under construction at 3 different places and traffic was backed up for miles in stop and go traffic but mostly stopped. First chance I got to turn around and get back on IH 10 I did. I then realized why I hate taking that route. There are 2 single lane exits to get off IH and get back on it. Whoever designed that part of IH 10 around the west side of downtown San Antonio should be tarred and feathered. Then you have to decide if you want the elevated portion or the lower deck.🤬 One single lane on the main southern IH Interstate Highway system just to stay one it, one.

  7. Texas is receiving $26.9 million for improvements to the Port of Houston, including 30 new zero-emission, short-haul trucks and portable electric chargers for battery electric vehicle trucks to make zero-emission technology accessible and more affordable to owners and operators of small trucking fleets. It will also pay for the installation of new automated terminal operating systems to reduce truck idling times. https://highways.dot.gov/newsroom/grants-help-reduce-truck-air-pollution-ports?_gl=1*vsx8en*_ga*MTY3NDY2Nzc4NC4xNjkyODg5NjUw*_ga_VW1SFWJKBB*MTcxMzk3NjEzMS4yLjEuMTcxMzk3Njg5OC4wLjAuMA.. Thirty new electric trucks are coming to Port Houston, as part of a federal program aimed at reducing pollution around America's ports. Transportation officials announced Wednesday that Port Houston would receive $26.9 million for new short-haul trucks, portable chargers and other upgrades at the cargo center. “Investing in our ports to improve air quality and reduce pollution while modernizing infrastructure and strengthening supply chains is not only the right thing but also the smart thing," said Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Houston, who represents the areas west of the port. "What we are doing here is not only environmental justice but will help to transform the lives of thousands of workers and lay the groundwork for a brighter, more resilient future for our port." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/transportation/article/port-houston-ev-trucks-federal-grant-19420329.php
  8. It only has two garages so it's just two townhomes.
  9. The guy whose company supplies and installs these stormwater systems was there and I talked to him. This typer is good to use under parking lots. They also did these at Artistry Design District apartments on 12th St. and are doing the projects on Minimax St. that Urban Air/Goldfish is being built and many others using this product.

  14. David Best leaves Houston this week as he arrived from California late last month, driving a brightly striped vehicle topped by a life-sized plastic horse painted safety orange. But Best, a sculptural artist, is leaving something behind after last weekend’s Art Car Parade. Renowned for his intricately designed, ephemeral wooden structures, Best, his Temple Crew, and a team of volunteers have constructed his first temple in Texas over the past two weeks. The Houston Temple was unveiled on April 12, the day after the Art Car Parade, where Best's Orange Horse was one of three first place winners. Admittedly, “unveiled” is a bit of a misnomer: The temple extends far into the sky in the Gulfgate/Pine Valley area near East End. There is no veiling it. On view through Nov. 6 at The Orange Show World HQ, 2334 Gulf Terminal Drive. Houston Temple will remain on the Orange Show campus through November 6, at which point it will meet the same end as the nine temples Best has designed for the Burning Man festival — a week-long desert-set art and community event founded in 1986 — as well as others around the world: It’ll be burned to the ground, part of a healing ritual. https://orangeshow.org https://www.houstonchronicle.com/entertainment/art_exhibits/article/david-best-orange-show-19406607.php My pics taken today.
  15. The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents voted Thursday to begin construction on the $370 million State Emergency Operations Center and agency headquarters for the Texas Division of Emergency Management just east of Austin’s Bergstrom International Airport. The $370 million total includes $9.7 million for land acquisition and just over $360 million to build the 295,978 square foot facility, which includes a five-story office building and the State Emergency Operations Center. https://www.tdem.texas.gov/press-release/11-9-23 Architect - https://www.energyarch.com
