  1. I have been saying that since day 1...they did it backwards....they should have had the restaurants first to get people to visit the development and bring people to the stores, because as it is now, the place is for the most part, a ghost town no matter the time of day or day of the week (and i know because i DO frequent iPic..)

    so yeah...i cannot wait to have some great restaurant choices and to have this place feel really ALIVE! :) 

    (also the opening of the Grey House will help i am sure!)

  2. Who kicks people when they are down in life? Homeless people have every legal right to be and go anywhere as anyone else.

     

    In fact, I prefer homeless people over santimonious narcissists who move into the city with their suburban mentalities of exclusion. Speakin of taking and never giving anything back...these types of sentiments are worse than homeless people. A moral homelessness, if you will.

     

    Make sure to hate and aschew the homeless at church this weekend.

     

    so many things bother me about this crazy statement...as no one is saying that homeless people cant go anywhere they want, but they shouldnt be able to pee, poo, sleep, loiter where us with nice apartments cant  :blink: (there is a ton of great resources out there for homeless people and when able or when they are receptive i actually take the time to say hi and tell them about them when the opportunity presents itself...i hate that we take care of other countries before we take care of our own and homelessness truly makes me sad, as i cannot image just how horrible that is and dont want to)

  3. so that ugly nondescript 3 story building in the photos is for retail?! it looks like it should be some kind of storage space or something...kooky! i have wondered forever why it was built and what it was for (and better yet, why its been sitting there for so long being unused or worked on etc...) it doesn't fit in with ROD or Highland Village...cant wait to see what moves in there...should be interesting as from the looks of it, its more suited for studios and office space etc...not retail.

    i must have missed it somewhere but what in the heck is that odd building in the last couple of photos? everytime i drive by i wonder why it is what it is haha! (or why it looks like it does and who in the heck would occupy such a thing!) 

  5. HAHA! all incredible memories for sure! i will say their music has evolved so much...especially since he achieved sobriety 3 years and 8 months ago...his voice is stronger than ever and his live performances are more powerful than ever! of course the whole band is amazing!!! crossing fingers they play a show here!

  6. my buddy and i were shooting saturday and i brought this place up to him and he was like, oh yeah remember i told you i just moved to sort of the heights area? well i actually rented the place across the street!!! i told him to go work there as that place really is going to be awesome (although i am not sure how i feel about the different shaped arches as well haha!) (and yes he does have private parking so he wont have to worry about that thank goodness)

    i may go check out the tower tomorrow after work! 

     

  7. omg that damn race!!!! it better have been for a good charity because it took me one hour to get from my home to brasil on westheimer for brunch yesterday!!!!!!!!!!
