Haverty Furniture Store At 711 Fannin St.
Subdude replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Historic Houston
They were in this building until 1962, when they moved to Capital St. That location was closed in 1974.- 3 replies

I couldn't find my source for this, but I believe this building was acquired by the Medical Center and then used for offices.

The bar there was fun. We always referred to it as just "Cocktail Lounge", since there was a neon Cocktail Lounge sign over the street entrance. The crowd was a mix of guests and neighborhood people who were clued into the place. The jukebox seemed to have not been updated since 1967. It had a mix of vintage C&W and 1967-ish pop songs - think Hank Williams with Nancy Sinatra's "Sugar Town".

"Uptown" then was along South Main. My guess is that this was planned to be in the Shamrock / Prudential Building area.

Most of the Chinese restaurants were east of downtown. I vaguely remember a two-story center with a large Chinese restaurant downstairs.

I never knew that. This is the older First City logo.

I wonder if the neighbors will complain again. It does seem out of scale for the neighborhood.

I-45 Rebuild (North Houston Highway Improvement Project)
Subdude replied to ToryGattis's topic in Traffic and Transportation
Thanks for this. People don't seem to realize that flooding is a feature, not a bug. As was pointed out upthread, flooding in a freeway is water that isn't in someone's house.- 3,346 replies

I'm thrilled to see this progress, but astounded that it will take until the end of 2027.

I think that Samsung is basically asking for not just a tax break, but to have all local taxes rescinded.

London House River Oaks: Condominium High-Rise At 2323 San Felipe St.
Subdude replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Going Up!
What on earth are "curated" condos? What does that even mean? And how can it be "iconic" before it is even built? More than the usual amount of marketing blather here. Surprised it's not "artisanal".- 126 replies

At the end of the day I just don't think the Dome would ever be successful for "mixed use". I'm not aware of any stadium that has been successfully retrofitted that way. I would leave the frame and let it serve as a picnic or park area.

Montrose Collective: Office Building With Retail At 888 Westheimer Rd.
Subdude replied to trymahjong's topic in Montrose
I suspect Postmodernism is stuck in that uncomfortable place - too old to be stylish, yet too new to seem quaint and charming. Probably in a few years it will begin to start to be appreciated more.- 971 replies
