    Blodgett complaints mainly coming from current and former TSU students.

    Yeah these new transit centers are disappointing with no residential or retail component.

    Myself and I believe another HAIFer also got lifetime memberships last year.

    Oh boy. This should probably be moved. But I'll dip in for a bit Most people in the States haven't experienced a functioning public transportation system comparable to Europe or SE Asia. So when they say it won't work here I wonder what metrics they're using? If your cities transit is underfunded and poorly routed... Of course it sucks. Txdot is an outlier when it comes to funding. Most states can't fund their highway network and rely on tolls or federal funds. This will present challenges in the future as ev adoption increases. Gas prices have been all over the place the last few years so locking in a fixed price with electric will benefit people with the means to do so. Not having any alternative to using a private vehicle makes everyone immediately concerned about gas prices. The US should have learned it's lesson in 70s like other countries but why do that when your government thinks it's in control with the petrodollar and will invade/coup countries with oil. As for the weather being a factor... eh people need to get outside more .. I walked and took public transportation in HK in July, not 100f but extremely humid upper 80s. Maybe Americans are too soft and asking them to walk, ride a bike, or be slightly inconvenienced is too much. I've seen enough people complain about how they can't park right in front the entrance to not doubt this.

    Yes just the restaurant portion. I would ask for more details but someone commented that it wasn't supposed to be public knowledge. My guess is they plan to rearrange seating to focus on stage and retool menu for basic service.

    Hmm I don't have answer for that I just know what I heard and what was posted(private FB page).

    I have no reason to doubt the source considering industry/HOB connections. End of the month supposed to be last day.

    Not sure if I'm misremembering but didn't there used to be an afterhours club on the top floor of this building. This would have been early 00s.
  12. BeerNut
    Ugh so much parking in the back I hope they do something worthwhile out front.

    I heard they plan to replace the restaurant with a comedy club.

    The NFT thing sounds like a marketing gimmick and it's just a membership with benefits that you can sell.

    I hate to say I called it when I thought Gatsbys expansion was "ambitious"

    This looks really nice. Can't wait for the opening.

    I'm disappointed like everyone else about this being a Dollar Tree. Although I'm sure at some point I'll stop by here to buy some random stuff on occasion.

    So running for presidential election is now a "get out of jail free" card?

    I could see some companies requiring people to take the train between Houston and DFW for work. My company requires train travel vs flying unless it's over a certain number of hours for Europe. They also won't allow you to drive or take your personal vehicle if it's over certain number of miles in the US. I'm sure if this route gets built they would require people to take train based on safety and on time performance...cost wouldn't be the determining factor because we already have people that fly from HOU-DFW/DAL for work.

    Instead of running into eminent domain issues with rural landowners they would have issues with businesses along 45 until they get past Conroe. The TCR alignment avoided this by running elevated along the Hempstead railway. Your route alignment would be great for a TXDOT project since they own ROW(only they know future expansion plans) and could stop at smaller cities along the way to get their buy in. Could even make a stop at the Greenspoint Mall to allow people to utilize long term parking, rental car, and airport. And for people saying all those stops would make for a longer ride just have express trains with zero stops.

    This heat has been horrible for trees. I see a few struggling trees in the pictures.

    There is so much potential in this area.

    OPEC has more to do with gas prices than Biden.
