I live downtown. Well, I guess my area now is called neartown (Montrose and West Dallas). I moved from Midtown (Bagby and McGowen) in September. When I lived off Bagby, the Midtown Randalls was the closest grocery store. I could have walked. However, with lots of groceries, that 3 block walk would have been rather arduous.
Where I live now, the Kroger on West Gray is the closest grocery store. For the HP, I think that Randalls will suffice, but another store wouldn't be bad. The Randalls parking is terrible and there isn't a major development in the area. I can't imagine what the crowd will be like with the HP coming.
Sounds interesting. I am a CE EIT and should be taking my PE exam in October. What are the sizes of these tanks? Basically, the detention pond size depends on the size of the development. The larger the impermeable land, the larger the detention pond. For example, we worked on a new subdivision for Alvin and the required storage for detention was approximately 27 acres. For those applications, I would assume that your product isn't applicable.
