  1. Mural artist https://www.instagram.com/jdlstreetart/ wall is looking close to being finished on the Holiday Inn parking garage. gonzo247 mural is progressing after they came up with a new way to finish it, hanging scaffold.
  2. They had an official presentation and walk for the murals, unfortunately I couldn't hang around for it. Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis was going to be one of the speaker. They set up on Main St. across from the Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf murals.
  3. When I was working at a shipyard early one winter morning right before work started a very strong cold front moved in. It had extremely strong winds associated with it and broke the moorings line to a car carrier ship. First the bow lines broke and the wind swung the ship around until the aft mooring lines broke. 2 tugs and a small push boat rushed to pin it against the dry dock at Newpark Shipbuilding. If those tugs hadn't been close by I thought it was going to hit the bridge beams on the south bank. They jut out at about a 40 degree angle over the water to support the bridge.
  4. Maybe Chaad Whitmire already cancelled MS2.0?
  5. Mural being done at Shell Stadium by https://www.instagram.com/dragon76art/
  6. The owner of the ship that crashed into the Baltimore bridge faces a mountain of potential lawsuits. Experts say the owner will likely try to invoke an 1851 law to try to cap potential damages. The Limitation of Liability Act was successfully used by the Titanic owner after the 1912 sinking. From potential wrongful death lawsuits to property damage lawsuits, the owner of the container ship that crashed into a major Baltimore bridge, destroying it, can expect to face a mountain of legal troubles. Analysts have already estimated that claims from the deadly early Tuesday disaster that caused Maryland's Francis Scott Key Bridge to abruptly collapse could cost insurers billions of dollars. Three maritime legal experts told Business Insider that the owner of the Singapore-flagged vessel called the Dali will almost certainly invoke a 19th-century federal law — that was successfully used by the owner of the Titanic— to try to limit its liability in the bevy of lawsuits that are expected to arise. "If they're fully successful, it will cap how much they have to pay in damages," Michael Sturley, an expert in maritime law and professor at the University of Texas at Austin's School of Law, told BI. Grace Ocean Private Ltd, the owner of the 95,000-ton Dali ship that was bound for Sri Lanka before smashing into one of the bridge's support pillars, has about six months to file a petition in federal court under the 1851 Limitation of Liability Act. Grace Ocean Private Ltd did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider on Thursday. "The chances of their filing a limitation action are somewhere north of 99.99%," Sturley said. https://www.yahoo.com/news/owner-ship-crashed-baltimore-bridge-201630179.html
  7. Taking over the old 59 Dinner. https://pinkertonsbarbecue.com/location/houston/ Architect - https://www.identityarchitects.com
  8. Hardwood Bargains moved down a couple doors so Pacific Coast Tacos could take over their old location. The Wescott St. location of Pacific Coast seems to do well, every time I go by there are a lot of cars. The building behind this shopping center is gone.
  9. I wonder where they came up with the name Chaucer? 🤷‍♂️
  10. This is why we can't have nice smooth roads in Houston. Developers cut in to the street to tie their utilities to the city's but never repair it like it was, it's either dips or bumps. Surprised city inspectors let them get away with it.💵 Most developers will go back with asphalt instead of the original concrete.
  11. I found 2 of the buildings that will be demolished for the sunken portion of IH69. Plumbing demo was done. The first building is the old Alexander the Great Chapter 29 Order of AHEPA. https://www.ahepa29.org The second building was the old Nurses Night and Day. https://carelistings.com/home-health-agencies/houston-tx/nurses-night-and-day-inc/5ace894493efd2372f995d58
  12. The murals on the building next to the Secret Group is always paid murals advertising something. This it's for
