    The lack of luxury hotels in Houston

    in General Houston Discussions

    Usually when people say Dallas is cleaner, they're referring to Plano and Frisco. Houston is an appealing and a destination place to the black community, especially black women and their girls' trips. This hotel, when it opens, will be among the ones featured on YouTube 

    If I'm being honest it depends on what group of people you're talking about if I'm mainly talking to black people they love the hell out of Houston or other minorities as well. Not saying that white people don't but it's just depends who you're talking to.

    Lighting Up The Montrose Bridges Over I59

    Huh?  The area where they will be trenching I-69/US59 is east and north of Montrose - not in the area where these bridges are located.  The I-45 project/NHHIP (which includes trenching further parts of I-69/US59) does not impact these bridges.

    In addition to getting that part completely wrong, the "journalist" missed the relevant part related to NHHIP.  There will be additional  bridges of the same design over the newly-trenched parts of I-69/US59 that presumably will have the same lighting.

     

    The start of the trenching starts at spur 527 where 59 becomes elevated out of the original trench.

    But the "they" is finite, and if "they" decide to start going to one of the shiny new parks, you risk the existing infrastructure becoming "forgotten."

    In general this is a frustration I have always had about Houston--very little coordinated development and they all compete against each other, I guess as a side effect of zoning.  You get a development like Post in one place, then East River a couple miles away, then the Autry Park and Regent Square stuff a couple miles away in the opposite direction.  We go from nothing to four or five similar developments in a relatively short period of time.  Downtown residential spread over Market Square, around Minute Maid, and on the south end.  It just seems it would've been more impactful if the development were centralized and radiated out. 

    But I suppose I shouldn't complain.  And I hope I'm wrong.

    Guess it's called the "Green Loop"--see https://www.centralhouston.org/filer/0/1615334642/470/, page 13 of the PDF.  I haven't seen that it is anything other than a conceptual plan, but, then again, so is the Pierce Skypark.

    I hear what you're saying but there's tons of people moving inside of the loop so I'm pretty sure they'll be demand for all of these parks and new developments to be utilized.

    I've said this many moons ago and it wasn't well received, but the one thing that concerns me is that we may be going overboard with parks here after years of not having much.  It is going to cost a lot to maintain Disco Green, the new cap park, Trebly Park, Market Square Park, Lynn Wyatt Square, Buffalo Bayou Park, not to mention the proposed greenbelt and now the Pierce Elevated Park.  If they're not all regularly teeming with people, I just fear they will become overrun with homeless or become neglected and turn into something more like Tranquility Park or Midtown Park.  Not to mention, who in the heck wants to go walking around the Pierce Elevated for 6 months a year without any tree cover.  (There's the same problem with the Post Skylawn.)

    If you build it they will come look at Post Houston 😏

    New taxiway to begin construction this year and two large prospects are looking at the Spaceport for facilities.

    Reading that article the spaceport has a lot going on than I thought. Is there any other major cities building out spaceports like Dallas Atlanta or any other Houston peer cities?

    You should take a tour of the stadium.  It’s worth the $10 or whatever they charge nowadays!

    Yeah I've been thinking about that for a while I've been to tons of Astros games but I've never walked into Union Station 🤦🏽‍♂️

    I believe that’s why the team store is being enlarged in CF …to reopen the Union Station lobby as an entry point (and to also use for other events not baseball related) 

    I've never even been inside of Union Station 🤦🏽‍♂️

    I'm not 100% certain, but I think that is from an earlier plan and that cap was deleted from the FEIS/ROD plan.  I don't think Cleburne even goes over the freeway in the FEIS/ROD plan.

    Yeah you might be right but I thought it was still in the plans.
