  1. My source at Simon says that in the near term, the residential tower is unlikely. It's going to take a few years, or at least that's how it's looking now.
  2. I like the part where the university suckered its ignorant students into voting for (I, for one, voted against) raising fees to help pay for this scam and then turned around and sold the naming rights for many millions of dollars. It's good to know that a small piece of my student loan repayment (plus interest) is going to this because they clearly needed it so very much.
  3. Yeah, cool project! Someone else beat you to it though. It's called the store directory.
  4. That pattern has already been established for Houston. You really think this will be an exception?
  5. They're part of the Freemasons, a more than questionable secretive society whose supposed benevolence is a total sham?
  6. I do. It's a horrifically bad store. Though, fitting for this project. It's all the worst things about the retail experiences of Florida and California all in one convenient location.
  7. What is it with you people and views? I admit, I like them as much as anyone else, but it's the same story in Dallas. As soon as someone builds something that "blocks their view" they freak out. Calm down.
  8. Also keep in mind that a building like Williams has behind its design one of the most important figures in architecture over the last century.
  9. I think I might have been where you were, and if so, we were looking east down Rusk. I didn't know that view in the video would actually be there.
  10. I agree. I was just by there yesterday shooting a band, and it really is an amazing piece of mid-century architecture. I've never been inside, but it needs to stay. It belongs there.
  11. How unfortunate. There are so many parking lots. And uglier buildings. Sorry if I'm late in the game on this one. It's just frustrating when good looking stuff comes down instead of the things that need to go.
  12. Forgive my ignorance, but are all of those buildings coming down for this project?
  13. So this means it will definitely be on the east side of 59?
  14. Luby's only fronts as a restaurant. They are actually elderly manufacturing plants. That's where all old people come from.
  15. Perhaps, but what they lack in skyline, they more than make up for in real city life, which is more than can be said for Houston.
  16. I personally haven't run into any trouble down there. I have a friend who lives nearby, on the other side of I-45, on Rusk. It's actually a good (though, maybe not in some traditional senses) neighborhood that is simply in need of some fixing up. Isn't the light rail supposed to go down that way, anyway?
