It's a pipe dream, but that would be an awesome building to add to downtown's skyline.

A&M has a couple of really beautiful old buildings. The rest are 1970's modern crap.

What part of town is this in? It's beautiful.

These are some really cool pictures.

"ZaZa" reminds me of a name for a birchon frese, lasa opso, or other puny little "faux rich" queer dog name. And please note, I'm not calling homosexual people queer. I'm just calling the name ZAZA "queer." If there was ever a use for that word, describing "ZaZa" is it!

Perhaps "faux rich" would have been a better way to describe it. "Warwick" is much more classic. Even though it reminds me a little of Diane Warwick's psychic network -- it's still more sophisticated than "ZaZa."

We're in the Dallas district of the federal reserve. There are only 12 branches of the Federal Reserve Bank. For some reason, the government assigned a city name to each of the branches instead of just a simple number. If you have any old greenbacks, they were stamped by each federal reserve bank. Some say Dallas, Chicago, New York, etc...

DT Houston is really going in the right direction. It's by far my favorite area of town. Hopefully we will be able to get some affordable residential down there soon.

Yeah, most of the downtown eateries are shut down on the weekends. I tried to do the same thing once.

My understanding of the nuances of architecture are not as refined as you folks. It looks nice to me. I liked the first design better, but this design will be fine.

Texas A&M University Bonfire Memorial
SpaceCity replied to WestGrayGuy's topic in Bryan-College Station
aggiemustang, Thank you for your evidence of Aggie logic. Discussion about the bonfire and David Koresh means "hating on war heros?" No redpot who was killed in the bonfire collapse nor Koresh were war heros. How you came to your conclusion is confusing. Few Aggies questioned the bonfire because it was "a tradition." Some traditions needed to be questioned. Especially when they are dangerous enough to kill people. How many people have to die for an Aggie tradition to change? Evidently a lot more than died under that bonfire stack. -

Texas A&M University Bonfire Memorial
SpaceCity replied to WestGrayGuy's topic in Bryan-College Station
Dude, we've all been parts of groups. We've all felt "togetherness." But our groups didn't kill people. It's the DEATHS for the vanity of alumni feeling pride in their group that we're upset with. It's not the general concept of togetherness. IT'S THE DEATH. Geez. This continues to be an Aggie joke. -

Accidents can be prevented if you act in a prudent manner. A&M did not act in a prudent manner in constructing the bonfire. I'm glad they built a memorial to those who were killed so Aggie alumni could have sense of "togetherness." -

It's proof that Bonfire leaders didn't care about safety. If you're drunk and drowsy you should not be working on a nine story building. Especially when that nine story building was made of unstable material never meant to be stacked. -

This is MORE evidence that Aggies looked the other way and simply IGNORED THE OBVIOUS. Again, its a dark Aggie joke. People were drunk at Bonfire and here are my sources: The Battalion -- Bonfire Collapse CNN.com -- 2 killed at collapse were drunk -

The way the Bonfire was built was a dark Aggie joke in itself. [west texas accent] I get me an idear. I'm gonna get abunch of 18 year-olds up a 3am. They should be studying, but who needs book learnin'? Then I'm gonna get 'em drunk. Or if I don't get 'em drunk, I'll just look the other way when they show up shnockered. I'm gonna make them haul some big logs, using complicated cranes and other heavy machinery that they're unfamiliar with. Then I'm gonna make 'em build a nine story structure. I'll make 'em stack logs that were never meant to be stacked on top of each other. Sleepy, drunk Aggies can build it dern it! [/west texas accent] -
Since skyscrapers weren't invented in Houston, nor were roads, we were obviously trying to "be like someone else." Let's tear them all down and just go back to log cabins and the horses that we began with. Then we can be real to our Houston roots.
