Residential Development At 319 Eastwood St.

Thanks. Good to be back. -
Adaptive Reuse Development - 3501 Harrisburg Blvd.
ricco67 replied to ljchou's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
I'm curious about the adjacent parking lot. They recently improved it by cleaning it up, removing the flagpole, and actually adding more spaces there. -
wasn't this the building that the original coney island restaurant was in?

You just have to remember. As distasteful as you may find some structures, they do serve a bit of a role in how Houston, a major transportation hub of commerce, operates. What would make sense is to build a smaller viaduct to allow for pedestrian or bicycle traffic. It would be the cost and usage that would be the downfall of whether or not this project would be viable.

I agree, but having it run on standard rail, even on its own right of way will be totally pointless once it has to join the regular track near downtown.

DNA, and I suppose you're against paying school taxes if you don't have kids or they are already out of school. anyway, this thing needs to be meglev with its own path into downtown.

I haven't found anything mentioning this, and I'm unsure if this is related to whatever activity is on the webster side. I was talking to a couple of employees at that station and it seems like the owner purchased the entire plot the station was on and they are due to shut down in December. anyone know what's going on with this block?

my problem is that if starts relying on regular track ROW for getting to downtown, it isn't going to happen. The rails are simply too crowned.
-
I haven't been following this too closely, but I'm assuming that this will be rail and not some sort of meglev system? if that is the case, I think that trying to get this to downtown is a doomed effort.

I really hope there is a giant mat at the front door or elevators that says, "welcome back."

I guess the garage wasn't salvageable. They are knocking it down.

yeah, pointed towards the INTERIOR of a stadium. apparently, I'm screaming into the wind.

The top golf on I 10 is NOT built above and NEXT to the freeway. it's a fairly good distance and the lights are far enough to not affect anyone driving.
-
I think it would be an idiotic idea. The glare from the lights would be a driving hazard for those on the freeway, and an annoyance to those living nearby.

Holiday/Days/Heaven On Earth Inn At 801 St. Joseph Pkwy.
ricco67 replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
doubtful. There would have been a couple of sizable holes by now. -
Holiday/Days/Heaven On Earth Inn At 801 St. Joseph Pkwy.
ricco67 replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
i proposed several years ago that we randomly hit it with a sledgehammer very once in awhile until it gets declared a hazard. -
Okay. The East line finally rendered. turned out a bit better than the Southeast vid, but I think I might have to try to re-render it or possibly shoot it again. <sigh>

That might have been possible, but considering the circumstances in which it burned, which happened on a very windy day, along with no doors and windows wide open, it was just v a matter of bad luck.

Market Square Tower: 40-Story High-Rise At 777 Preston St.
ricco67 replied to Urbannizer's topic in Downtown
I believe it IS a hotel on the lower floors, but don't know about a five star. The upper floors are definitely office, but I can't remember if they were also going to be residences.- 1,892 replies

Market Square Tower: 40-Story High-Rise At 777 Preston St.
ricco67 replied to Urbannizer's topic in Downtown
The trump tower fits that bill. they spent a couple of million on a metallic accent. In case you're wondering, it was the building featured in the TV show "the crazy ones. "- 1,892 replies
