  1. Council approves deal for new Dynamo stadium http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/6947815.html
  2. I think this is the best response to all the people who have complained about the Embassy Suites being so short. (+1) And really hotels in Houston aren't built tall, this is no Miami. Our tallest, the Hyatt Regency, at 30 stories, suffers being located next to true skyscrapers, and makes no visible impact, although you sometimes see it peeking through buildings when your on the freeway. The Hilton-Americas makes a good impact from the Gulf Freeway, and thats it.
  3. Starting to rise over the Houston Skyline. Taken from jfre81's Heights Thread.
  4. A clearer update. Flickr Rainer Ebert If you look closely, you see Hess Tower rise over One Park Place. I really think Hess Tower is taller than OPP now. Flickr fabfemme
  5. I reallly like this view and perspective. Both from flickr Rainer Ebert
  6. I second the nice comment. Heres a different perspective on just how massive the building is. Flickr can-da-chee garcia

  9. Authority Likely to Join Dynamo Stadium Project http://www.myfoxhouston.com/dpp/sports/100319-authority-close-to-joining-dynamo-stadium-project The article also mentions how exactly the Sports Authority "will become actively involved", "if all those things happen".
  10. Update by flickr jeffbalke from Reliant Park http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffbalke/4441487476/
  11. Couldn't find an article on the Chron. So I went to ABC 13, but found a ridicilously short article. 39 News had good info. And a quick google search found this blog that looks intresting, "OffCite". Also when did the Tolerance Bridge change names to the Rosemont bridge? It broke ground yesterday at 11 am, with Mayor Parker on hand. http://www.39online.com/lifestyle/goinggreen/kiah-gg-new-buffalo-bayou-bridge-story,0,3629061.story http://offcite.org/2010/03/14/the-bridge-formerly-known-as-tolerance

  14. I found this really good one,but unfortuantely it was copyrighted, so I'll just post the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aaronkovach/4411797165/ But this one wasnt, although the other one was better. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncabral/4410270349/
  15. In a half of year to a year from now, when I'm at Discovery Green, and OPP, ES, and Hess Tower are all done, Im actually going to miss the ongoing, never-ending construction that has occured there since it opened. But who knows, maybe that new convention center hotel will actually happen.
