    If I am looking at the site plan correctly, then most of the windows will be facing and be right on top of a parking garage for the apartments next door. Is this correct?
  2. Daniepwils
    From someone who works in the construction business (mostly highrises and apartment projects). Maybe he has it confused with something else.

    Does anyone know the name and/or any other information on this building? They just started building it in the last few months. I was at my friends place at the Tennison building and could see cranes and such. The only thing I know is that it is to be 22 stories and the only reason it is being built at this time is because The Wortham actually bought into it so it would be built.

    I feel great! Finally can see my office desk after 4 years of paperwork.

    Snack Food

    Very true. I think the reason I drink so much water is I am very active (sweat a lot)and eat more fiber than most. It is weird, most people think I drink to much, but I just listen to my body. At one time my doctor thought I was eating to much salt, (the reason why my body wanted more water), but that wasn't the case. He figured it was all the fiber I was eating. He said it is fine to drink that much water as I eat very well and also take vitamins. Too much water will flush out too many vitamins. And too much water to fast will make your kidneys work on overload.

    Snack Food

    Peanut butter (natural peanut butter, with only peanuts as the ingredients, maybe salt too depending on the brand) banana sandwich is my favorite. Peanut butter, whole GRAIN wheat bread, honey and of course the banana. My snacks usually consist of a veggie, fruit and a protein everyday. Yes I eat chicken or tuna as a snack! I am weird! (Spinach and broccoli everyday for sure, but I mix it up every week) Sweet Potato fries (homemade). I will either salt and pepper them, or sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on them if I feel like something sweeter. Any and all types of nuts (Almonds, walnuts more so than anything) Any and all types of berries (Blueberries, gojiberries and raspberries) Greek Yogurt is pretty good, Cottage cheese with cinnamon and some berries...mmmm or cottage cheese and hot sauce I basically eat nothing processed other than Triscuits (which aren't bad for you compared to chips, they only have a few ingredients). Triscuits with a little feta or ricotta cheese with fire roasted tomatoes and cucumbers on top are freaking awesome. Homemade Protein bars: Whey Protein (usually chocolate flavor), peanut butter, oats, honey, cinnamon, dried raisins and figs and a little milk mixed together, let it set in the fridge, and MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM good, nothing but good carbs, protein and fat (the good fat). Yes I eat alot, basically around 4000 calories a day (6'3, 195 and am very active) WATER WATER WATER!!! roughly 1.5 gallons a day for me.

    I hear Metro is going to open up a souvenir shop at HP. That will be nice...(can't wait to get my very own Metro bus key chain that dispenses Mace)

    I saw them working on some type of plumbing for the building this weekend. They had the entire right lane of Louisiana closed off near the building.

    If you are talking about the food court under Commerce Tower's, it is open. There is one place in there (I forget what it is called, but it isn't a nationwide fast food chain restaurant). There are tables and such down there as well now.

    Nice pics! I bike and run along the bayou all the time and have never seen an alligator (or is that a croc?), very cool! (I was actually surprised to see a family of rabbits living near the bayou close to downtown)

    Would it even be safe to kayak or canoe in Buffalo Bayou? I remember they tested the waters last year, and it wasn't very good. Infact it is one of the worse polluted bayous in Texas. That reminds me. I was running along the bayou a few weeks ago and saw a man fishing. I did a double take to make sure I wasn't seeing things.

    Does anyone know where I can find a floorplan for the new Y online? I know they have them displayed in the lobby of the current one, but was just curious if someone found it online.
  13. Daniepwils
    Why don't they charge for parking on Sundays? I mean they already do every other day of the week.

    I saw the funniest thing just now at Discovery Tower... My office faces the park and Discovery Tower. I happen to look up from my desk and out the window and I see two guys playing swords with 2x4's (I kind of chuckled wishing I was out there doing that too). Here is the kicker... they are on the 18th floor and very close to the edge (I am sure they were tethered to something, but damn).
  15. Daniepwils
    That is dead I think. Also you are a block off. This was to go up at the corner of Main and Dallas (across from XXI and Macy's.
  16. Daniepwils
    Well that is some progress for getting people to move in I suppose.
  17. Daniepwils
    LOL and a NINFA'S EXPRESS!

    Wells Fargo Plaza has one on 34/35 and 54/55 (I think). If you take the elevators in the tunnel you will end up on the 34/54 floor. If you take the elevators on the street it will take you to the 35/55 floor.

    That just made my day! Keep us updated

    With no parking and very few building amenities the resale of these will be a pain. The location is amazing though (minus the bums).

    Are you not counting the homeless at Tranquility and Root Memorial jk

    Are you kidding me? This is not New York or San Fran... I guarantee you that a "rich" person in Houston does not and will not ever take public transportation in Houston unless one thing changes. That change would be if the public transportation system was more reliable and FASTER than a private automobile. I have had a place in downtown for 5 years now (3yrs in Humble Tower Lofts, and 2yrs in Commerce Tower) and never once have I stepped foot on a bus, they are unreliable and take forever from what I have read and hear.

    Actually they did start out as for sale, but I don't think they had enough people interested so now they are for rent. This happened well before all the harder financial situations happened with the banks and the economy though.
  24. Daniepwils
    Not really. DG is empty most of the time during the day (other than when kids are out of school or there is an event there).
  25. Daniepwils
    50th or 51st floor
