  1. ^^ Are you Jason Statham from The Transporter?!?!? I have NEVER been able to hit that curve at 85 mph!! LOL!
  2. I absolutly detest GRB! I think it is the ugliest thing in Houston (and that is saying something!). I whish they would/could give it a facelift to make it look more like a world class venue. I know that is unlikely since it was recently renovated with the same ugly ass exterior, but one can dream.
  3. So...has there been ANY news on this thing or has it been decided that this was a pipe dream?
  4. Im sorry Im of the beleif that it is easier to build the big things and phase in the small things as opposed to the opposite.
  5. Movies without the typical stereotypes and actually showcase our skyline like the other cities you mentioned.
  6. If there is a God in heaven he will awnser my prayers and let this get built to it's original plans. Nothing scrapped or downsized. This is the project in Houston I am most excited about. I dont care if they stop everything else, just please let this one get built right!
  7. Heading North on 610 is already an awesome sight. Especially once you go up over the bridge that crosses 59. Can you imagine the sight if this is a go and in the coming years of seeing Transco (will never be able to call it Williams), Deyaar, and the Ritz of Blvd Place?!?
  8. Yeah..thats exactly what I was just saying. I just didnt elaborate quite as eloquently as you did.
  9. You totally missed my point. I said that since I dont care about other cities its seems that things happen faster there than here.
  10. Why do things take so long to get off the ground here?!?!? Its driving me crazy! Seems like other cities get proposals,renderings, financing and then break ground within a year. Maybe I dont care about other cities and is why it seems to take so long here. I do hope that Discovery is not a pipe dream and gets going soon.
  11. I have a question. I hope that you guys (and/or gals) will forgive my obvious ignornace towards mass transit planning and just humor me for a moment. Why cant they just go ahead and build the system all at once and just get it over with. The longer they wait the more Houston will fall behind the curve in it's mass transit options...especially with the regions expected population growth in the coming years. Also, wouldn't it be cheaper to do it now while it will cost 1 billion (just a random number I picked for all phases to be done now) instead of waiting a few years and it costing 1.8 billion by then?
  12. ^^^ I expect to come here tomorrow and find that DG is scrapped because of cost overruns and Embassy pulls out, along with Main Place, HP an they are even going to stop working on I 10! Tomorrows crude oil price will be 50 cents a barrell!
  13. So like I asked, why can't 2 or 3 firms that were going to build 2 or 3 30 story towers, join together and build one 90 story tower? As for oil, most people are anti oil these days, so I dont want Houston to be realized solely for that. I want some good publicity for this great city for a change.
  14. There is no way on God's green earrth I would ever have the time to do that! LOL!
