    It looks like the lot between Frank's and where the apt. tower will be has not been sold. There's an "Available" real estate sign still up.

    It looks like it has been wired with explosives.

    We had a hurricane party and stayed up all night. During the eye, I went outside to retrieve someone's dog that had gotten loose. Like fools, after it passed, we attempted to drive downtown, but between Buffalo Bayou raging and DT being cordoned off, we never made it. I also remember seeing jet skis zipping around on the sunken part of 59 through Montrose.

    They've removed most of the brick on the first few floors revealing the steel structure.

    Maybe they've been there for a while, but I just noticed the other day. There are now street signs indicating what street the bridges are.

    I remember when One Shell and Well Fargo were not connected, but don't recall the method they used to connect.

    I wonder what it looks like from the inside looking out?

    It said caddy-corner from Mkt Sqr, so that would be the lot next to Frank's Pizza.

    In the center, above the first floor, on Main St.

    I noticed from the train the other day that the building stone is engraved with "Second National Bank".

    It was Central Bank. There was also a nightclub up there on the top floor (from what I remember reading).

    Pepper Jacks is closed. I never went because everybody I talked to said the service was horrible and the food was overpriced and not very good.

    Ooops. I thought I was on the BG Group site talking about the new Hines bldg at Main and Texas. Sorry.
  15. rsb320
    Remember this is Hines. They don't cheapen their projects. Look around at all the treasures that Hines developed in this city. Still, this is a very valid point, especially for investors from other places.

    The Double Tree on Post Oak was originally built as a Warwick in the mid 80's.

    I guess that with the new Hines development, they'll finally tear down the old Sterling Bank building.

    W. Alabama is bad too. The drought really took it's toll. The road sank, but the manholes didn't.

    The windows are still boarded up at Macondo.

    You did take a picture of my place, should I feel stalked?

    TS Allison was in 2001. Sunnyland had moved out to Fondren at least by the early 80's. I think they may have kept the Midtown location as a warehouse, but I'm not sure.

    Is there a height/load limit on concrete structures? It seems that all of our newer construction uses concrete. The tall buildings built here during the '80's were constructed using steel. Isn't the cost of steel crazy right now?

    So did the former Fiesta on Dunlavy as well as the Container Store on Post Oak.

    Does anyone know what's going in at the old Texaco station across from Stewart Cadillac on Main? They've added on to the back and covered the original stone work.

    I wonder to where they'll relocate. They had far too much business to just shut down.
