  3. How about some direct service to Vietnam and India? Feel like this market could support that. I suppose Emirates and Qatar handle much of that demand now....
  4. Post Oak Blvd on its way to becoming one of the premier avenues in the country. Excited time for Houston to finally see projects go from paper to pavement...
  5. Seeing those pictures I can hardly contain my excitement about this project up here in NYC!! I can't wait to go check it out in person when I'm down for the holidays. I really hope as has been discussed many times on this forum, that this along with the several other downtown projects establish critical mass for a consistent pedestrian environment and a vibrant urban atmosphere particularly at night after work lets out and in the weekends. It really improves many facets of life to at least have that option in our city(we'll still have plenty of spread out areas and that is fine as well) and will improve this Great City into another tier of world class...
  6. So there is an American Apparel store now on Westheimer and Dunlavy. Does that mean that the one that was supposed to open in the Sakowitz building on Main has been scrapped? Are they waiting for Pavillions to get off the ground before building?
  7. I live in this area. I agree that most of the development along 1960 is just garbage. Cutting down the forest with crappy shopping centers that are an eyesore. It seems to me that unfortunately this area may be headed toward a decline. There are lots of low priced neighborhoods and apartments being built all over the area. That being said Champion Forest is still there and there are some other fairly upscale neighborhoods in the area around Louetta and Spring Cypress. So this Vintage Park development may work well.
  8. Do we really need more movie theaters? We have so many mega 20 plus screen theaters all over town already. Isn't the 30 screen on Dunvale and the Edwards on Weslayan enough for that region? The only theaters that I think may be cool to have more of are Alamo Drafthouse or River Oaks style theaters offering a bit of variety both in ambiance and types of films.
  9. My brother lives in the Mark on one of the top floors. I would say it is a pretty nice complex. He has a one bedroom but I think they have several floor plans. Of course its a great location with easy access to the freeways. They have a nice pool lobby area, 24 hour security and complementary valet as well. Just a couple months ago the management team changed, and made alot of landscaping changes and added marble to the hallways. They seem to be aggressively selling. I'm not really sure why the previous team didn't sell as many units. Oh and if this is an added bonus, Shaq O'Neal has a unit there and we've seen him pass through a couple of times in the offseason with his daughter.
  10. Looking at the website it doesn't look like there are any in Texas. Theres a bunch in LA, NY and assorted other places. Man that rendering is getting me real excited about this. Can't wait!
  11. Well we did make the playoffs last year and lost to the Lakers in the first round, but that was a totally different team with Steve Francis, Cuttino Mobley, etc. I feel much better about this team, we've got a bonafied superstar in TMac and great role players. With one more win we'll be a 50 win team which I dont think has happened since Charles Barkley was here (97?). I was at the game on saturday and really enjoyed it, that was a big game. Now were jockeying for positioning with Sacramento and Denver. It should be a fun playoffs. BTW a really good rockets fan site is www.clutchfans.net they have pretty lively forums.
