Niels Esperson Building, Partial Conversion To Multifamily
rsb320 replied to MidtownCoog's topic in Downtown
I think I was mistaken. Someone's grandfather worked there as a maintenance man and had ghost stories. I know the ghost at Spaghetti Warehouse is supposed to be the wife of the pharmacist that worked there, who fell down the elevator shaft. She's still looking for him. -
I noticed this morning that Brown Bag Deli has relocated from the Houston Club Bldg to where Ziggy's used to be. I think they were the last tenant, so demo must be nearing.

Niels Esperson Building, Partial Conversion To Multifamily
rsb320 replied to MidtownCoog's topic in Downtown
I remember reading something that it was haunted by a maintenance man that was killed in an elevator accident. -
I wonder what they'll do with the bunker/fallout shelter beneath Foley's/Macy's? By 1968, the government’s focus had shifted to public shelters, and the city had 464 fallout shelters. The largest was in the basement of the Foley’s at 1110 Main, which could hold nearly 39,000 people. There were also shelters under City Hall and underground where the Hobby Center is today. http://www.houstontx.gov/savvy/archives/spring06/spg06_heritage.htm

Maybe they're buying the Citgo and strip center as well. How close can you build residential next to a gas station?- 115 replies

WaterWall Place: Multifamily At 2801 Waterwall Dr.
rsb320 replied to lockmat's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
I never realized there was underground parking right there. I wonder what type of parking facility this place will have.- 113 replies

The plants are all dug out of the median where the new station is going in downtown. It looks like the early stages of construction. Does anyone know which design has been selected?

Yep, there are barricades separating the sidewalk from the street. Also, the street is all marked up with orange paint.

It seems like I saw barricades on the sidewalk, this morning, near Ziggy's. I'll pay better attention this evening.

There will be a service interruption on the Red Line this weekend in order to install tracks for the new line. It will continue to run between Fannin South and DT Transit center. Saturday is supposed to be a ride free day, for Museum Day.

There was a rink way out west. Either on Beechnut, Bellaire or Bissonnet. They used to have a gay disco skate night in the 80's. Drag queens on skates - hilarious!
