    Deleted a sidebar conversation. As long as posts are on-topic and don't violate HAIF rules, we've never told members not to post unless they have new information, and we're not planning to start. Likewise, there's no policy about excessive gifs, but recognize that some people find them annoying so I wouldn't overdo it with them.

    Yes, I think pro teams increasingly try to bundle mixed-use projects in with new stadium developments. It's another source of revenue for them.
  3. Subdude
    Consider it done.

    Other than the same physical location, I'm not sure I see the connection. The earlier thread was about the HPD storefront closing; this is about a new development properly in "Going Up".

    I'm all for historic preservation, but the old post office hardly strikes me as architecturally or historically significant.

    That would make sense. Unfortunately there are some pretty wealthy NIMBY's in the neighborhood.

    I wrote this before I noticed the caption. Doh!

    For ease of reference, I think it makes sense to keep it as Capitol Tower, at least for the time being. My guess is that most people still think of Bank of America Tower as the structure at 700 Louisiana, and in fact googling the term mainly brings up references to the older building. The new structure is still probably thought of as Capitol Tower by most people.

    Nice picture. I'm guessing about 1963-64. The Tenneco Building (1963) looks complete, but 806 Main (JW Marriott) doesn't appear to have received its facade slipcover yet.

    Hermann Hospital.

    The high-rises behind the 1020 Holcombe building look extremely theoretical.

    Nice pictures! Can anyone identify the street with the accident in front of Jack-in-the-Box?

    I really don't see this building becoming light/airy/modern. It still looks very 1970s, especially with the bronze-shaded windows.

    The article is in the Marq*e topic as well, so all may be happy.

    It's fine in this thread, since anyone wanting to know the fate of Spaghetti Warehouse would look here.

    I loved these. It sounds crazy to say I looked forward to the new phone books every year, but I did.

    The Grand Parkway Segment B is routed along the Alvin bypass. Presumably the Alvin Freeway, if it were ever to be built, would just merge and dead-end into Grand Parkway immediately north of the town. If these roads are built that will become a high-growth section of the metro area.

    I hope they retain the balconies on the south side of the building.

    My guess is that Leon's Lounge etc remain in place, and the build-out just covers the current parking lot behind these structures. The block on the far right in the diagram is slightly smaller than the two on the left, while the actual Dennis-Main-McGowan block is wider than the blocks immediately south, so there is room.

    Note dupe topics merged.
  21. Subdude
    Done.
  22. Subdude
    No, but I've always wondered about that place. It has that mid-century turquoise thing going.
  23. Subdude
    I hope they replace the cladding on the side. The old granite/marble had been falling off.
  24. Subdude
    I'm holding out hope. The look they are shooting for seems similar to Union Station / Minute Maid Park.
  25. Subdude
    Agreed. The black cladding on the rocker panels has the dual effect of making the body seem less tall, while also appearing to sit higher off the ground. I don't hate it exactly, but it does come off as a bit awkward.
