Main And Fannin Street Underpasses At Holcombe Blvd.
Ross replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Traffic and Transportation
Those plaques used to be everywhere. Unfortunately, they seem to get demolished when the item is rebuilt. I've always thought there should be a museum for them. -
The Docks At Timbergrove: Retail Center At 2505 W. 11th St.
Ross replied to hindesky's topic in The Heights
If the crane is set up correctly, it can be used to remove obnoxious drunks that refuse to leave when asked. The only thing better would be my patented Drunk-a-pult😀- 27 replies

They will get to a complete renovation at some point, but that takes a lot of planning as the storm drains all get redone, along with any other infrastructure that's under the street. It's also expensive, and not all streets can be done at the same time.

The unused military buildings were moved to the Baker Estate according to the MD Anderson history page https://www.mdanderson.org/about-md-anderson/facts-history/who-was-md-anderson.html "The hospital began its operations in temporary quarters on the James A. Baker estate at 2310 Baldwin Street in downtown Houston during World War II, under the acting director, Ernst W. Bertner, M.D. MD Anderson Cancer Center rightly regards the Baker home and extensive grounds as its place of birth. Several war-surplus buildings were added in the late 1940s and 46 patients were being treated in those primitive quarters when the hospital moved to its current site in March 1954."

Not according to the folks on Nextdoor, who seem to be horrified and mad that they cannot drive 40mph or more on 11th. My response to many of them is they need to move to Katy, where the roads are wide and the speeds are high.

Turner's minions consistently said that TxDoT rules do not allow for a light at Nicholson. If they revert 11th Street, I am going to demand a stop sign at every cross street. There is nothing wrong with the current setup, and emergency vehicles have no issues. SJL would have been worse in most ways, but I am super annoyed with Whitmire over traffic and giving away $650 million to the firefighters, who I would have told to leave if they don't like their pay. What next, close the libraries and parks to fund public safety?

There is no indication this topic was moved. And Greater Heights is closer to the truth than the nebulous "Other Neighborhoods". To me, the subforum is irrelevant. I never look at that attribute, and just pull up the new posts list.

Inverness Townhomes At 800 Post Oak Blvd.
Ross replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
There are 100+ units in that condo, with a bunch of different owners. There's a unit for sale now that's 664 sq ft, $147k and $460 per month condo fee. https://www.har.com/homedetail/800-post-oak-blvd-32-houston-tx-77056/3438735 That's not going to be redeveloped any time soon, unless someone is willing to pay 300% of current prices, and maybe not then. -
Bike lanes are good for business
Ross replied to hindesky's topic in Bicycles and Other Low-Impact Modes
That's a great way to make the no left turn more visible. They need these at Shepherd and Westheimer. -

It is not possible that you are using 11th due to the bike lanes. According to Nextdoor, the 11th Street bike lanes are a total disaster, and are destroying the lives of car drivers daily by increasing travel times by 15 seconds and making it impossible to drive 55mph while taking the kids to school🤣 I had one person tell me that people who want to walk or bike should use Heights or the Nicholson trail, even those go North and South, and do not go to every place someone might want to walk to. C&D Hardware on 11th is a good store that has pretty much everything you could ever want. -

The old City Hall building was used as a bus station until the building burned in 1960 https://www.houstontx.gov/abouthouston/cityhallhistory.html

In 1923, Methodist was located at 3020 San Jacinto I haven't found anything earlier than that, but I haven't searched every directory yet. The hospital was founded in 1919. That picture looks like it was taken in the 1940's or 1950's. Possibly the 1930's.

That's great news. The location on Post Oak near Hempstead is a minor pain to get to. Their breads and pastries are amazing.

Not possible. That building is a historic landmark, to be preserved forever🤣🤣🤣
