  1. Off Topic - Would be cool if the Shepherd Bridge could be torn down and re-built as a beautiful gateway. Awesome pics City.
  2. Y'all can like this Big Ugly Box on La Branch. I'm going to criticize it. It's missing a thin brick arch near the entrance. Randall Davis Co presents: "The Aqueduct".
  3. If we're fantasying, They should partner with the Post, and make it an Intermodal Transit Center, which would really boost everything about both projects. The Post could develop more commercial space, residential, and hotels. Truly a mixed-use development. Could easily build a pedestrian bridge to the UH Downtown Red line station.
  4. Interesting how fake plants and AstroTurf are popular design choices. We've come back to the 60s with this, new age strip malls (MKT), and some of our new apartment buildings look like the Lamar Tower.
  5. I'm sadly aware. Wish they would use a closer substitute. Instead they use the vinegar heavy ones đŸ¤¢ Will have to go back for lunch!
  6. I was told they were better during lunch. Went during Dinner and the bread was concrete. Also, I really dislike the heavy vinegar sriracha sauces they use. Pho Binh also switched to Tabasco brand and it's not good.
  7. The last one looks like it's in Downtown Raleigh, with some Uptown Houston building friends.
  8. Guilty. So I spilt all the NRG comments including mine to https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/55-nrg-park-mixed-use-development/page/10/
  9. All they need to do is paint it white and add more exterior/interior LEDs. Enhanced cellphone coverage and it will do fine for many more decades while looking as snazzy as the others. Edit: Sorry, derailing this thread.
  10. Sigh. Exactly what Houston needs, another banausic apartment tower. Say it with me folks "It's great infill".
  11. While the Editor is a allowed a sense of a humor, your first catch should have been a lack of local resin pyramid artists.
  12. It could use some TLC on those tight little turns. Plus the general space down there is devoid of any human touches. Feel like you're riding a tram into an underground lab (Half-life or Resident Evil style).
  13. Think they might be concerned of how bright their patio is at night.
  14. Can't believe they did Tarka Indian Kitchen dirty like that. What an outdated info map. Shouldn't expect anything less though, the snippet map/MS Paint job speaks volumes.
  15. The Sign is cool, but good lord, that interior! Looks like every smoke/joke shop in the late 90s.
  16. Are you talking about affordable housing, or every single newer apartment complex in Houston? - The Greys (Windsor, The Travis), to the Grey/Khakis (Boone Manor, Venue, Sovereign, Regent Square, Alta River Oaks, Elan, Wescott), the Blue/Greys (Bellrock, COOP, 1011 Studemont, Windsor, Azure, Vic), the Red Brick/Grey/Blue (Azure, Pearl Washington), Reds seem to be more focused around UH.
  17. Can't wait to check out the 7th floor lounge. Wish it was higher up.
  18. Seeing the Union Station platforms is sad. How tall we still are, yet incredibly more dense.
