I'm actually in the Criminal Courthouse: Sorry I don't have a better shot of that one, I'm too lazy to walk outside and down the street And yes, the Love Street Light Circus will be cool whey the re-dev Allen's Landing. I think the re-development is a wonderful idea, becuase this is a historically rich part of Houston that is relatively un-tapped. As far as the Love Street Light Circus building itself, I am actually keeping a really close eye on when they pull the ply-wood off the building, so I can run down there with my camera and see if I can't bribe my way into the building to get some interior shots before they tear it up. In fact, interestingly, the back-side of the Love Street Light Circus building has an arched doorway that is coated in a flower theme tile mosaic. Sort of a nice window to the hippy-past that this building used to have.

So this is a view from the 7th floor of my office buildnig. Noteworthy places in the shot are; http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb212/benny2oo0/outwindow.jpg 1. Love Street Light Circus and FeelGood Machine is the little green abandoned building towards the lower-left side of the shot (http://www.faculty.missouristate.edu/d/Den.../lovestreet.htm) 2. University of Houston Downtown, obviously, is the big building on the left 3. Baker St. Jail is the big building on the right-hand side of Buffalo Bayou 4. Buffalo Bayou itself 5. A train edit: 6. The light-rail (thanks nativehou) Oh yeah, and of course ... Allen's Landing (right around the Love Street Light Circus).

This is a really interesting thread, guys! Excellent information thus far ~ I'm going to do some digging when I get home from work and see what I can come up with as well, but if anyone has any more information on this place, do share! That'd be neat if this was the mansion texianjoe speaks of. b
