  1. Reminds me a little of the Sydney opera house. I wonder at what point a screen is so big it distracts players.
  2. They put up "now hiring signs" all over the neighborhood this weekend
  3. Looking back, its unclear to me what curbs were added - and google maps hasn't been updated because its so recent. The construction photos make it look like any of dozens of roads in houston with medians - lots of turning lanes and curb cuts, with minimal protection of the cross walk at the tips of the medians. Does someone have a diagram of the project with the places people don't like marked?
  4. The photos in the listing are good historical photos of the area
  5. I wonder if it will open before ∑ternal Beauty - they have the sign outside and some metal framing inside but no work in months
  6. The Nextdoor people found out https://nextdoor.com/p/mQmht649_6yk?post=306185314&utm_source=email&is=tpe&section=cta&mar=true&ct=tfzr1NpvmegZqins1yBghtHCXGH_ZxSNK-JfReQxYb3tpHAgb3K5271FBLuR4nmK&ec=OWKiQRDj9vEHAYwTV6YMARldwuFdgGkeefhwfGYAE0s%3D&mobile_deeplink_data=eyJhY3Rpb24iOiAidmlld19wb3N0IiwgInBvc3QiOiAzMDYxODUzMTR9&link_source_user_id=17635004 The alarmist comments are pretty funny too
  7. I couldnt get my q card replaced easily, so I temporarily started using the app and it’s been good enough I never got a q card
  8. $63 is low enough to legit do it for a block party or a birthday party
  9. Walking across at least two blocks of parking every direction before you even head to the place that is a couple minutes walk is not that walkable. This is coming from someone who will walk a mile downtown to do stuff regularly - for unplanned, spontaneous before or after game events, it has to be a maximum of one block away or it is not part of the conversation.
  10. There are not that many restaurants and bars within easy walking distance of minute maid. Besides the two italian restaurants next to the stadium (not exactly pre-/post- gaming places), the closest cluster are the hotel based bars and restaurants around discovery green (minimum 2 block walk), followed by downtown (7 blocks to main street) and EaDo bars (6 blocks and going under the freeway). Of course more organic development like wrigleyville would be great, but the Astros literally own the land around the stadium. They either have to do the development themselves or sell the blocks off. Oh and my dream development would include a cheap bar and grill that I can suggest to my friends to go to before or after the game
  11. Only $200? I might close my street for my next birthday party
  12. I'm sure they're paying for it. Street closures seem to happen a lot more in east downtown than other places - for a while 8th wonder was just casually closing down dallas every other week - usually when I was wanting to walk to get some coffee
  13. Or Texas central can just renovate their kitchens
  14. The lanes on Polk are nice between emancipation and Cullen - I bike them every week day. The rebuilt part past Cullen looks like an improved version of the rest of Polk. One of the problems before were people parking in the bike lane, which A) blocked the bike lane & B) was not big enough to get them out of traffic. Hopefully concrete curbs solve that where armadillos don’t
