  1. seriously! whine, complain, complain!
  2. the mid range condo market has taken a beating over the last couple years. I'm not sure I would want to enter that market unless I was getting a pretty good deal. At $200+/sqft I would probably pass.
  3. the bitterness is strong in this one I get sick of the affliction crowd as much as anyone but I won't mind having a decent sports bar in the area.
  4. according to the agent in charge of marketing the building, the fee covers the following: Building & Grounds, Cable TV, Clubhouse, Concierge, Insurance Common Area, Limited Access, Recreational Facilities, Trash, Valet Parking. Looks to be everything but electricity and personal property insurance.
  5. the organization who brought the complaint against Weingarten's variance request (www.stopshepherdnoise.org) met with the company and they came up with the compromise. The headline of their website now reads Weingarten modifies its variance request with support of neighbors; Commission approves modified building Maybe not every neighbor was pleased is the compromise, but it seems that the group in question is.
  6. fair enough. i didn't realize you had written that blog post when I made my post so sorry about the garbage comment. I found the rest of the story to be quite enlightening
  7. that crowd is too busy trying to score smack at two in the morning
  8. I'm not sure how many late-night restaurants could survive without bar traffic. Typical Houston Press garbage.
  9. I used to volunteer at J. Will Jones and can tell you that it is an excellent school. Principal Flores has done an incredible job with that place and is one of the most passionate educators I have ever met. That school should be a model to other under-performing schools. Instead, they want to board it up. Shutting down J. Will Jones will just be another example of how incompetent HISD and it's administrators are.
  10. is it your goal in life to whine about everything Pavilions related or what?
  11. who knows, but with their property tax being raised to over $2.6 million (up from $1.8 mil last year) i'm not suprised.
  12. I believe Crosspoint Properties is planning on branding everything they build in that area as "The Mix @ Midtown"
  13. Word on the street is The Tavern isn't long for this world. It's supposedly being torn down pretty soon.
  14. another article in the HBJ claims that 230 units have been "purchased". This one is dated April 4, 2008 i just think it's funny how "successful" these articles claim the Mosaic has been when it reality that's not the truth. I've spoken to people who used to market that building and they told me it's been a disaster (maybe that's why the marketing job has changed hands 3 times?). They also assured me the 2nd Tower will be all rentals. How they expect to get $2.20+/square foot is beyond me.
  15. not according to this article...which also claims that 200+ units were sold (as of this time last year) HBJ Article
  16. so let me get this straight...long before selling even 25% of the first tower, they decided to build a second?
