  1. The South Canal is back, baby! Below is how it was envisioned to snake around the street and freeway grid in 2002. I never get tired of referring back to this old thing.
  2. I can't remember what it was but you could definitely tell from the repeating patterns that it wasn't natural stone. The cladding took about 4 years and was completed just in time for Ike to blow off a panel or two.
  3. The Urban Edge weighs in, including another plan for the area by the Greater East End folks.
  4. facebook thread about Swamplot's post The other Walmart is 2.25 miles away. Bentonville don't care, apparently.
  5. The Chronicle says the HPD spokesman made a boo boo. http://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Call-log-shows-complaints-Saturday-from-White-Oak-7245804.php
  6. I hear this in regards to making the existing tunnels ADA-compliant, "too expensive." What's changed since the initial excavations? More underground infrastructure? Environmental regulations?
  7. Pics from eight days ago. The finished permeable surface The lot in progress across North. Street sign slightly slanted.
  8. "Enron Field Heights." It references and yet is simultaneously grossly insensitive to local history. It's perfect.
  9. Regarding the second phase at Westcott and Arnot: What's left of Memorial Club is still being leased by Greystar, and the lady in the office told me on Saturday (3/5) that the complex will be around at least through the end of '17.
  10. One of those graduate student projects included a ped bridge connecting the circular trail to the north bank. Without removing Franklin, that would be a bridge to another pit of darkness and pee-smells. Or it could be a Rosemont Bridge-type thing that connects to both the bank and the Franklin deck above.
  11. The east side of the lot has been turned into no doubt lucrative paid parking for now. The bayou thread has me sad that there doesn't appear to be any will to ever remove the Franklin section that overhangs the bayou's north bank.
  12. The bridge is two way, unless there was a recent re-striping. It would become more vital if the Smith bridge goes, the Aquarium expands over Preston as they are threatening to, and/or if Central Post really takes off.
