  1. I live in Bryan College Station. But I know where Sweetwater is. It's in the Sugar Land Mo City area. I have lots of family in Houston. And I only live about an hour away from the city or less.
  2. Now Uptown/galleria needs stuff like this: Would you beleve that is San Jose California? Uptown needs some of this! This is a new area, and was built very quickly!
  3. I went to the Galleria yesterday, and everyone was dressed so well. I mean I thought I was in New York or something. All the women looked like models. they all had class and had on the best looking clothes. And they call Houston one of the fattest cities in America, I don't think so. I think many cities are envy of Houston in many ways. First we went to drove by Highland Village just because I wanted to so my family. They were amazed, they never knew that area of Houston existed. They saw all of the palm trees with christmas lights rapped around them and the stores that had bowes on them made to look like gifts. Uptown Houston looked like a very large city itself. The parking garage near the Cheese Cake Factory was pretty full so we parked above ground. Looking around the view is amazing! Lots of people driving Hummers, Jaguars, mercades, etc. Last time I went to the Galleria I saw a Maybach. This was also the coldest I have ever seen Houston! We got there at 7:00 pm and left the Galleria at 10:00pm. It was dark and cold but nice!
  4. Look at the downtown tunnels, they work. The only time I have heard of the flooding was back in 2001 with Hurricane .......? But any was there are ways around this problem. And Yes Atlanta does flood. But not as much as Houston does. But Houston is improving it's flood problem with deeper bayous.
  5. I don't care what any of you say Houston would be very cool with a subway running from Downtown to Uptown. So what about floods there are ways around it. There is just something very cool associated with subaways and a urban city. Heres a picture of the subway line in Atlanta. Atlanta is not as urban as Houston but the subway line makes you feel like your in a big and important city.
  6. I would never Shop at stores like this either unless I had the money to. But what I think is that by having these types of stores they bring with them a certain since of PRESTIGE to the city. Think about only a few cities can support these types of retail and yours is one of them. Just think if Houston did not have the Galleria or any of it's fancy stroes, you would not like that and you would wonder why. Since Houston does have highclass stores you know that the owners of those bussiness see something in Houston, they know the wealth is there.
  7. They could make the new section look like Times Square. Put out door entrances to all of the stores. Make each store look like a diffrent building with a mega sized Toys R Us like Time Square has.
  8. Louis Vuitton(Old location before expansion of store) Gianni Versace Neiman Marcus Torneau Baccarat The Tiffany store at the Galleria
  9. Emporio Armani Cheesecake Factory Christmas Tree Walkways Velleriano Italy
  10. Highland Village is one of the best shopping areas in Houston. I think that Houston needs more of theses type of shopping areas. I just wish that the shopping was closer to the road (More Urban), but it's great how it is. Does anyone know of any new shopping areas going up that area comparable to Highland Village? http://www.shophighlandvillage.com/graphics/index16.gifhttp://www.shophighlandvillage.com/graphics/index17.gif
  11. Well at least Blockbuster is Texas Based!
  12. Ralph Bivins wrote that article didn't he use to work for the Houston Chronicle? What happened?
  13. Has any one went to the opening of the new one? Where exactly on 1960 is it? Can you show me on a map?
  14. Do Krystal Burger's have Drive-in's like Sonic? Because in College Station there is a new fast food joint going up and I can not fifure out what it is. It has drive up order windows on both sides of the building like Checkers and In-N-Out Burger, mabe it's one of them????
  15. I am glade they are putting it on 1960. It is closer to my town Bryan-College Station. And it's coming in 2 months!!!!!! There will be other locations!
  16. I still think this is possible, with developers like Post Properties Look what they did for midtown. (just found out about that too!) Cousin moved down from New York and lives there! Houston is so much more than what people see on freeways! People need to take the time to look at a city before they judge it! I also went up to the Champion Forest Area. Very, Very, Very, Nice! With all the mansions in the tall pine tree forest it is very nice!
