  1. From seeing the actual plans on the desk of the president of student government my final year of school, the UC is basically going to be completely gutted and reorganized with student activities moved from the basement addition at the back, to a more prominent position upstairs in the main building, while all the meeting rooms and the DOS offices will be moved to the basement. An expanded bookstore/theatre addition will be built next to the UC on the faculty visitor lots at a later date.
  2. The kids complain and complain so much that the cost of tuition is so much higher than it was 4-5 years ago (It is.) But UH is still way behind UT and A&M in Cost of Education.
  3. I cant remember. Which building in Dallas did Frank Lloyd Wright design?
  4. Having lived on campus all three of four years of attending, i always thought UHPD kept the core of the campus relatively crime-free; except for the normal college antics. The only places I felt uncomfortable late was along Scott , in the parking lots by the intramural fields, or walking past the Sigma Nu house on a friday night.
  5. It's already set in stone that Cullen will close sometime in May or June. Leveling has begun on the foundation of the new Cemo Business Classroom Building and the old Y Building will be torn down over the summer to construct the new Engineering Building However the buzz around campus is that enough funding is in place for construction to begin on the Endzone facility at Robertson. A timeline for construction is not surprisingly unknown but an announcement is expected to come around the bowl game. Also Dr. Khator is preparing to secure funding from the state to help build the new Wheeler St. dorms as well as major renovations to the Towers, which are LOOOONG overdue. Fundraising should begin soon after.
  6. I was driving down Holcombe today and noticed road construction on Cambridge next to the big condo tower. I also noticed the construction extended North towards the bayou. Directly across from the end of construction was the new drainage tunnel and the MacGregor/Braeswood intersection. I dont remember seeing a bridge planned anywhere in this vicinity or in the Major Thourghfare plan, so I dont know what to make of this. However a big traffic circle with a grand fountain in the middle of it would be a great entrance to the medical center and Hermann Park if a bridge was built.
  7. They are rerouting all bus routes off of cullen between wheeler and holman on Jan. 27. I wonder if they will close cullen sometime early next year?
  8. nope 59 take its space between Chartres and Hamilton Streets.
  9. They are currently building a Wal-MArt on that site. Its right where Victory Lakes is now, across the freeway from the HEB. For years you could still see the stage lights.
  10. I dont think many yet know about the Crosby Freeway. Once more people take notice of the area, enviromentalists will start denouncing urban sprawl out U.S 90. Also they've been trying to halt sections B and C of the Grand Parkway for years and those arent the most affulent areas.
  11. Id say that section B of the Grand Parkway is definitely needed in Galveston County; the sooner, the better. However, the current League City city council has a track record of being unfriendly to new development. I'm in a wait and see mode on this one.
  12. I cant believe they let magic mountain go down like that. That was once one of Six Flags' flagship parks aside from Six Flags over Texas
  13. Actually its called Braeswood Place and it's a very nice established community with many ranch style homes still standing. Although closer to the bayou there are some new homes with some more "interesting" architecture. I has a YMCA and Poe and Pershing schools right in the center of the nieghborhood so it is excellent for children.
