I counted tower I at 14 or 15 stories, so Tower II will be a bit taller.

Looks like tower II and the new hotel will be built in this empty lot:

thx for the replys,

Still waiting for your shots of the event Jax.

Those are some nice pics.

I'm never near DT at night. Those blue lights under the expressway look cool.

So you hang out in alleyways and corners?

I think you would really like Austin Jax, and Kirby, that's just kind of weird.

adios

Adios

Hope you enjoy the photos. I was there from approximately 3:00 to 5:00 yesterday then had to get back to Houston. Would have loved to stay until the clubs got going at night but couldn't. Not many people on the streets when I was there. Empty streets seem to follow me where ever I go.

Congratulations Jax,

Mad Mex is really going to be mad now.

Very nice shots, and what a beautiful day.

Yes, there needs to be more photos of that area of DT.

Thx

I had a flashback to that last seen in Matrix II. Didn't know what the hell that old man was saying.

While it will never be very close to pleasing proportions, the cone continuing upwards may serve as a foil that distracts the mind enough to let the strong horizonal shoulder line of the building's unusual bulk to associate visually with the ground from a distance (by virtue of its visually unexpectedly low height below proportion to its unexpectedly broad extent).

Grandeur Park, The Grand new grand plans on Grand ParkwayHouston Business Journal - by Allison Wollam Houston Business Journal

Grandeur Park, The Grand new grand plans on Grand Parkway

Kickerillo Cos. has acquired a 100-acre parcel at Interstate 10 and the Grand Parkway with plans to build a 1,300-home community in the growing area.

Houston-based Kickerillo purchased the land from Westside Ventures Ltd. for an undisclosed price.

...............

Vincent Kickerillo, CEO and chairman of Kickerillo Cos., has grand plans for the purchased land.

A new development called Grandeur Park will feature 350 townhomes and villas priced from $300,000 to $600,000.

Grandeur Park will be located across the street from The Grand, Simon Property Group Inc.'s newest Houston project.

The Indianapolis-based company, which also owns the Galleria, plans an open-air town center of 1 million square feet along the Grand Parkway and I-10.

The first phase of The Grand is slated to open in 2010.

A rendering of The Grand lists Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Whole Foods as potential future tenants, but Simon spokesman Les Morris declines to divulge further details.

Says Morris: "I can't comment on any current negotiations, so I can't respond about the retailers you mentioned, in particular. However, we are speaking to potential tenants about the site and the interest has been strong."

Sounds like Saturday was the day to go. Unfortunately, I was intertaining the sis, and the kids at the museums.

Adios

Couldn't take photos of the art, so I took photos of the artist:

that's hilarious. Cool shot.

Thx Benn,

I actually went out to the Bayou Art Festival today and got some shots. There weren't that many people. I guess because it was Sunday and most who were going to go probably went yesterday. I'll post the shots I got later on today.

Adios

Thx Jax, hey did you happen to get any pics from the Westheimer Block Party today?

I had family over from College Station and I had to do the family thing. Man, I wanted to check out the block party so bad.

But, perhaps you can provide some visuals if you have any.

These last two are from the HMNS:
