  1. I can't believe this topic has been dead for so long. If I still lived around there I'd have posted some photos sooner. I visited my favorite bike shop on Saturday and took some photos. They've made quite a big of progress. There's some more info here and here. Please excuse the quality of my drive by photos...
  2. That sounds good. I wonder what the time frame is going to be like.
  3. There's a bit dirt lot with construction fences extending from Graustark along Richmond to the post office to the west. It used to be Lurie apartments or something like that. Does anybody know what is planned for the site?
  4. Cool. This will sure beat the apartments way out by reliant where most med center people end up, and people who live there will most likely actually walk to work.
  5. Here's the HD version of mine. I had to reupload when I was on wifi to get the highest resolution.
  6. I'm also in this video but you can't see me quite as well as the other!
  7. Haha I'm in the video at 1:27. I'm the guy riding the bike.
  8. I think I'm the only one that wasn't a fan of the food. I like the concept of fresh local produce, cruelty free etc. I just thought the food was kind of bland, at least what I had was.
  9. Where'd you hear that? I noticed the site still has an African Art store on it...
  10. Not a huge addition to the Uptown skyline (as seen from Montrose) but at least it's something...
  11. Taken from 610... HAIF / iOS 6 make it very easy for me to upload a photo from my iPad now. Cool!
  12. I rode the trail today and took some pictures of the new bridge. It's pretty cool but unfortunately STILL not open to the public, although it looks like construction is finished. Also I got to check out some of the trail improvements which are great but unfortunately the trails aren't all connected yet and there are still many dead ends and places where you have to go around "do not enter" signs if you want to ride them (many people were). I wonder when this project is supposed to be complete.
  13. I don't like the architecture as much as other parts of Midtown Square, but I do like the fact that it has got ground level retail. It's hard to complain when these guys are the only people adding retail in a new apartment building in Houston right now.
  14. Not the greatest photo, but I took this as I drove by the other day.
  15. I got to go up on the roof of the Esperson building last week. I actually work there but I just figured out how to get access to the roof. It was pretty awesome. Here are some photos.

  16. I noticed that there was construction equipment on the lot and dirt was being moved on Friday. Looks like this is for real now, not just another false start. I'll move this to "Going Up".
