  1. I am just waiting for the state to atleast surface plans for commuter rail services. Although there are other suburbs that could use the service far more than Pearland, 288 is the perfect route to shoot a train to the Fanin South Rail Yard to connect with the Red Line.
  2. Toll road proposed for 288 06:19 PM CST on Thursday, February 22, 2007 By Wendell Edwards / 11 News Click to watch video The population explosion in Brazoria County has made rush hour traffic on highway 288 bumper to bumper. There could be some relief in sight in the form of a toll road, but it
  3. Thanks for that musicman. If true, I will definitely try to get pics since I believe I am off that day. Hopefully I am not on campus during that time.
  4. Is the sign facing Main or Travis? If it is Main, it is the same sign that has been there for the past 2 years. I saw a sign on the opposite side of the lot while taking the rail this morning, but I did not see if it was a Camden sign.
  5. That rendering has been there for a while. They also have a website: http://binzmedcorp.com/
  6. Anyone know what is going on or in under the garage on the block north of Cava Bistro?
  7. I just thought it was a cinch to find if you google the name. http://www.swedroe.com/
  8. If you know Turnberry, there was no reason to be so anticipated to know what the design would look like.
  9. I love the Turnberry Beach house in Miami. Those are the type of designs that will make me take a midrise before a highrise anyday, but they stuck with their "signature" style this time for Houston.
  10. To be honest I thought the same thing for a while but it does grow on you in a good way. I think the interior side of the building, not the inside but the courtyard area, is more appreciated than what you see from Cullen or Entrance 14. The simple curve and the small fins on the building that you can see from Cullen are appreciated. I think it looks better at night though. That said the new library is a building that will age well in my opinion. Similar to E. Cullen.
  11. That is indeed tragic but you cannot help but to think "preventable". Not that this situation in the news has anything to do with it but in general I think some people have mental issues when they cannot control their public confrontations and amplify their conflict by not being able to shut up. That's just suicide nowadays. Most of the time, it's a power struggle because some one is afraid to look like they lost the argument. In the end they both look like assholes. Although I am sure there are some extreme cases where people are shot for actually being the bigger person.
  12. I sort of know that area I guess. That's my "shortcut" from the UC to the Satellite. Although I do not remember it being too open.
  13. There are a lot of old buildings in the vicinity of Texaco, but what is the building with the construction crater on the northwest end of the block? I cannot remember if I was walking by the Texaco building or something else.
  14. I admit I have never stepped a toe on this side of campus so I am not that familiar with how the building lies. Is this close to the Satellite?
  15. That area is all out of whack now bordering the construction site. The street is the sidewalk now. You might catch me struggling to walk on the sidewalks in that area since I am always at my brother's place. As far as traffic, too many alternatives to get to this place. Hopefully that reflects with the construction and parking is not a HUGE priority. By the way topics can probably be merged with original.
  16. Sorry for getting off topic but this is Texas. Although 288 has evolved to be a highway that is needed it was layed down to cater to the burbs. Guess what was there before? More congestion in Texas does not mean you look for alternatives such as commuter rail, but freeway expansions or the "progressive approach", for Texas standards, HOV lanes. Great news about the tower by the way.
  17. Just don't complain when people need more freeway space to get into town to taper off your neighborhood.
  18. Are you all sure about the Mosaic. I am not the person that really cares about height but it looks like they are starting on another floor. Right now it definitely looks stubby.
  19. UofH could easily become my favorite part of the city if it keeps these cutting edge designs up with its 20 year plan. The development is progressing quickly and it should be interesting to keep an eye on it as I grow old.
  20. It seems like they are on schedule. Th three lots will be closed at the end of today.
  21. I think this project is a go. Several of the employees my mom works with park in those three lots. She received an email today that they can no longer park there and will have to look for alternative parking.
