  5. BB's Cafe to open new location in downtown Houston http://houston.bizjournals.com/houston/stories/2010/05/10/daily7.html
  6. I'm not sure if this has been discussed/mentioned, but it appears that: From Swamplot. http://swamplot.com/swamplot-award-winners-converge-as-phoenicia-moves-in-next-to-discovery-green/2010-05-05/ Not bad news, just thought that this isn't the most appealing entrance for park-goers, and unless there's a sign of the grocery store in the front, I'm sure that many people will never know about Phoenicia as it won't face the park. The good thing is, this will be closer to the Shops at Houston Center, so more people will be exposed to that as well. Im wondering though, is it going to be accessible from OPP's front entrance, in that case, people can just use the front entrance and go into the grocery store inside, or will this be seperated from OPP, with the only entrance on Austin St? It appears to be the latter, unfortunately.
  7. Heres an update mostly taken by LSyd, and I think 1 by Geomorph, and another by diskojoe. From SSP
  8. The schedule is something that makes me wonder if the Texans will improve. Last year, they had the 15th toughest schedule, this year tied with the Titans for the toughest, on a season where we're supposed to make the playoffs, and since we had a 9-7 record last year, I wonder if we'll actually improve. Just as long as we stay mentally tough, healthy, and start the year off good, I think we'll make it, but if we even get close to losing 4 games in a row, again, its over for our playoff hopes. All in all a great season, a great schedule even if challenging, and looking forward to it.
  9. The Chron Article http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/soc/6956695.html
  10. I don't know if the city is really hurting for hotel rooms, last i read in the HBJ, the city's hotel revenues have actually decreased(and predicted to so for the 2nd year in a row), definetely not a sign that more hotel rooms are needed. We're also expected to perform worse than the nation. In the Downtown area, however, you are correct, it does need more hotels. http://houston.bizjo...29/daily31.html What's nice is that this area of DT looks like it will be the hotel district, with the Four Seasons, Hilton, Embassy Suites all close together, and OPP, I really see the potential for more resiential and hotels here to create a more virbrant downtown.
  11. I see it too, on the side of the building that actually faces Wortham Center, but I'll post an update as it progresses more. This might actually end up looking like the rendering, one reason I say this is because the skywalk in the rendering looks so weird, but they've already constructed that wave design on it, so it wasn't just for show. Also noticed from the webcam is that they've fenced off that green area next to the site, don't know what it is, a park? part of the bayou? In any case, its fenced off, and am wondering if anybody knows why?
  12. You can see Hess Tower as well on the left. Pretty cool update from the view of Minute Maid Park. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mickwatson/4506585269/

  15. It would be cool to have a plaza that does more for the fans, than just look like a gathering space, along the lines of what the KC Wizards stadium will look like.
