  1. Our fair city is 2nd only to NYC in Fortune 500 companies 2006 Listings
  2. I'm assuming that because there is a huge residential base in Uptown as opposed to Downtown, that might be the reason that Uptown has "it goin' on" and is more organized that Downtown? Just a thought in this regard. The Uptown facts blow me away.
  3. It is Dynamo. There is no s at the end. I am a WASP. I probably will never go to a Dynamo game. However, if the name 1836 offends people, especially the folks who like soccer (argh) .... Dynamo isn't horrible. It is a funky stage name if you will. Aeros, Oilers, Texans, Rockets, and in New York Nets and Jets .... couldn't be worse. Peace
  4. And what do you get for your money? An aging old highrise that is now a 'condominium'! Who knows? They may make in inhabitable.
  5. But those trees ... well ... hopefully would grow to be like those in the pics. I'd like palms included as well.
  6. I've all but given up on this issue. You always hear that they are working on Houston's downtown lighting, but we get the same old white lights. The Energy Capital of the World - not well represented by its downtown lighting.
  7. And this area is $$$$$$$ enough for those projects. YAY
  8. Bye bye Paige Parks building. I won't cry. Oh, no no no. YAY See ya later.......... in a fab skyscraper!!!!!
  9. I happened on the courthouse area for jury duty. New building is beautiful. I can't wait to see the park with the lone star. It BETTER happen!!!!!
  10. And Houstonians eat out more than folks in other cities. If the food is as good as it appears, we are talking big bucks here. And UK has been known for its bland and boring foods for so long
  11. I appreciate Mr. Denton's response. I hate it when developers or whomever say they are going to build this or build that and next thing you know, it ain't happenin'!!! Hopefully, this will be all good. I think when Houston Center was in the planning stages years ago that this mixed retail, offices, high-rise living etc. was the idea. Then after Houston Center was built during the boom years, the bust happened. Now, hopefully, Houston Pavilions will be the finishing touches to this area.
  12. Downtown Soccer!!! u betcha!! go Houston!!! It's our day!
  13. Wow. I guess I live in my own little world, but didn't realize Houston had such grand places of worship. Well, not really; there are some beautiful churches here, but .... St. Martins and I guess it is the Hindu Place of Worship that they are building, are pretty impressive to me. Thanks for the pics, guys.
  14. The Riverwalk in SA is great. I think the town is pretty dirty above the streets. SA is far inferior to Houston with Class A office space. I can't think of any striking skyscrapers there.
  15. Austin is relatively small when you put it into perspective. I've watched 50, 60, 70 story buildings go up in H-town; 40 stories is a mid-rise.
  16. Underground parking is awesome. I park in Theater District Parking at Bayou Place and enjoy the walk underground (totally climate controlled). Of course, I have the option of going outside as well. Bayou Place and a park are above the underground lot. It prevents the surface lot unattraction.
  17. I think it is pretty cool. Different. Do we need another five story box? NOT!
  18. You bet Dallas and Houston beat Atlanta real hard. I hope the Astros continue this beating as well
  19. I will write. I agree that we could vastly improve our downtown's lighting.
  20. Yeah. You can see right through the place as they have removed the walls and are tearing down the Convention Center Sign. Progress!!!!!!!
