    Mattress Mall.

    My idea was Embassy Suites would close that location and Skanska would buy the dirt and tear down the building. I like your idea better.

    Yes, a Part 107 license. But I was thinking Part 107 pilots still had to observe ceiling restrictions and can exceed the ceiling limit only when flying within 400 feet of a building… so I thought you got an exemption and I was wondering how that was done.

    I know a drone pilot must have a Part 107 license to fly 400 feet higher than a tall building as long as it’s within 400 feet of said building, but I thought that was only in unrestricted airspace. 400 feet being the ceiling in all unrestricted space. My Mavic Air 2 won’t even let me take off in my own backyard without LAANC authorization because I live in a 0 feet restricted area. That’s what I get for buying a know-it-all drone. 😄 Come to think of it, I’m not sure LAANC authorization will even cover it in a 0ft restricted zone.

    What is it you have to do to get an exemption from the FAA’s 200ft altitude limitation in that area? And even the general 400ft limit elsewhere, like near the Allen?

    The eternal hope that developments will live up to their original proposals is our version of Charlie Brown kicking the football this time.

    How much does one have to hate Houston to make this mistake? From the Chicago Athenaeum website, 2021 Awards:: https://www.chi-athenaeum.org/the-2021-awards/?page=13

    How did I miss this???

    See the final posts on the second page of Urbannizer’s thread that I linked in my post.

    Same "design" firm as the hideous "Chelsea at Museum District" project which turned out to be fraudulent. https://tcw-group.com/projects/the-chelsea-at-museum-district-high-rise/

    Nope. Somewhere on the MFAH website (I don’t remember exactly where) is the statement that the museum campus is a “drone-free zone.” It’s also a tripod-free zone. I had no trouble because I was flying the drone from the southeast corner of Binz and Fannin Streets… completely off the MFAH campus but within direct sight of my drone.

    I just saw this on my Twitter feed. Google is evil.

    Now, if the buses could actually use the street without being swallowed up by a pothole...

    It's a great area to live in. Not great at all for retail or restaurants. Which is personally depressing because I lived behind the Plaza Hotel many years ago when the original Montrose Butera's Deli was where the Glassell is now and the neighborhood was a lot more alive than it is now.

    This is a MUCH better location than Chelsea Market.

    It's not just Houston. Lanes on two major streets in San Antonio (Broadway and Nacogdoches) have been closed for a year now while some large mixed-use apartment building is being built. And lanes get closed all the time in New York. Usually it's a covered sidewalk that temporarily replaces the lane that's closed. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.754783,-73.9990259,3a,60y,233.13h,87.92t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s589UpDdx98pW3SiuyYxJcA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en

    Looks to me like that upper right corner is sagging below the rest of the panels. Like it just needs to be pushed up and properly affixed.

    There's a video I found on Youtube some time ago that is both fascinating and scary as f*ck. It consists of drone footage over downtown at night interspersed with these guys and girls hanging off the edges of buildings. I wish I could find it again. It's very well done.

    It's been a thing for a while now. http://swamplot.com/reaching-the-downtown-skyline-photography-studio-at-the-top-of-houston-highrises/2015-02-13/ https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Downtown-Houston-skyline-photos-daredevil-crew-14837927.php

    Do we know if this is definitely happening? Is it safe to get my hopes up?
  23. MidCenturyMoldy
    Now imagine what it was like 2 decades earlier! 😱

    I have a talent for hiding my angry, sanctimonious tone within a seemingly helpful tweet. 😄

    I tweeted the correction to them and they thanked me and changed it.
