George R. Brown Convention Center Redevelopment, Office Building & W Hotel
mojeaux131 replied to Sunstar's topic in Going Up!
And...maybe...it would be a waste of money to destroy it...and build something different...but...it's so FUUUUGLY... Yeah, it ain't going anywhere. Whatevs. Also, if it spurs development on downtown's east side, that's good too. Yeah. Way to go, you ugly, ugly building. You do have a purpose. Bless your heart. -

Those pictures are nice. Even a turd like like GRB will sparkle with enough glitter on it (that would be the park). -
Sage Plaza: Proposed Multifamily High-Rise On San Felipe St.
mojeaux131 replied to wxman's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
I like the initial look of palm trees, but I think the pedestrian environment would be better served by oaks that provide more shade. I think the use of live oaks and other native trees would be more "authentic" anyway. It might be cheaper to go with palms in the short-term, but in the long run, the more shade you've got, the better. How unique a downtown area replete with new development and live oaks with Spanish moss hanging from their branches would be.- 31 replies

Ah. How nice. I remember when they were finishing it up while I was in college. I always enjoyed seeing it as I tried not to die while driving on 59. Probably it's in my top 20 fav Houston buildings. Great picture of it, by the way.

Texas Medical Center Skyline Update
mojeaux131 replied to WestGrayGuy's topic in Texas Medical Center
Always snappin' shots, even without a camera. Awesome. Actually I think your cell takes better pictures than my crappy H-P digicam. In the left background, that would be Mosaic, right? -
I'm so glad it's finally going up! I've been going crazy over here worrying about the project stalling. Let's be honest, this is one of the coolest-looking new buildings going up in Houston, if not the coolest. Man, what a relief! I've been waiting since 2005 to see some significant progress made on this. Aw, it's gonna look so sweet when it's done. AWESOME!!!!!!

I really wish those boneheads in the legislature would wake up and get over their little crushes on UT and A&M. It's ludicrous for a state with over 22 million people to limit itself to only two flagship universities. Reason #348 the legislature SUCKS.
