I never said the Main/Fannin line which I've ridden was a bad idea. If it came sooner we may have gotten the Olympics... If it were up to me there would be commuter rail down Westheimer to Westchase or at least the the beltway but Kirby has a turn lane and even a median in sections that could be whittled down to make room for a light rail that would get loads of ridership once it's completed in say 5-10 years as this part of town is getting denser and denser.

Another new mall is what you think you're getting excited about? I only count 6 floors but I saw 7 somewhere. Curious, do I have to right project? I'm sure I do... Good news for Westheimer. Howabout the city run one of its light rail lines up and down Westheimer and Kirby in the near future, instead of down Fannin or Main. I think this area is going to be dense as hell in 10 years.

Nashville, TN Developments
Sooner&RiceGrad replied to jmancuso's topic in Meanwhile, In The Rest of the World...
Nice. -
OKC was, in the 70s, deathly afraid of being blocked out, being completely surrounded by Moore, Yukon, Edmond, Midwest City, etc, etc. So they went nuts and turned the tables. They shouldn't have. A lot of the city limits are country, and the sprawl is inefficient for budgetary purposes. The nice suburbs of OKC are: Norman (really more like Fort Worth is to Dallas than a suburb to OKC), Newcastle, Moore (though the west side is a slum), Mustang, Yukon, El Reno, Piedmont, EDMOND, Guthrie, Midwest City, and Shawnee (an exurb, granted), and the enclaves. All of the small enclaves on the NW side of town are either extremely nice, or reasonably nice. Nichols Hills is the River Oaks of OKC. The others are Shiite little towns with acres of hillbillies and farms, much like land surrounding Houston. Del City is the slum. That map is also old. Since that map, the city has completed a loop around the north and west sides of town, which is currently being extended south and then back east to connect with Norman (Go Sooners!!) and Newscastle. I personally think the land should be given back, or done like The Woodlands or Kingwood, developed into a prestigious municipality--only without the intent of returning to OKC. Perhaps you should look into joining one of many excellant Oklahoma forums?

Uptown And Galleria Area Real Estate
Sooner&RiceGrad replied to Subdude's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
Not only is Uptown wealthier than Beverly Hilsl itself, but the nation's wealthiest zip code is in downtown Houston. I think that justifies d'town AND uptown's claim as very "rich". -
Can he try it again et all?
-
Yes!!! Yee-haw! Maybe I'll have to come down to Houston just to drive on this thing!

http://www.downtownsilverspring.com/index.shtml Can someone tell me this is not an exact replica of downtown Silver Springs, in DC? [edit: Of coarse this came first, or atleast I am sure it was of no influence. Just a funny coincidence.]

I really hope this goes through... *fingers crossed for Houston*

That's not true. The nation's best small city, according to Universal Publications, is a city that is comprised of rolling hills, some neighborhoods, and nothing but 2 lane roads leading to where these people work.

Yes, Sooner or later. But... we can speed up growth in West Houston, and that would place Houston a couple years ahead. Also, will there be another good opportunity to atleast get this laid down, look at FM 1960 (HWY 6) that is what happens when you wait to long, and the Spring area residents get in the way of highway construction. Notice that no other area is protesting this...
