It was awesome to see the Triple A slugger Jonathan Singleton hit his first homer in his first game last night. These guys are fun to watch, that is for sure

I noticed that on the webcam. Is that to put a crane in place?
Not sure, maybe someone could go by tomorrow and take a closer look?

All this without a commiting a single error at second base.
Well sadly that just ended.
It would be so nice to be able to see this on TV. But I'm not going to switch my service to Concast (not a typo) in order to do it.
Hey Mollusk, I don't have Comcast but I watch the games online through a portal. If you want the address just DM me

It looks like from this article last year that it is closed to the public, but I am sure you can get away with it if you dress and act like you belong
At Wells Fargo Plaza, 1000 Louisiana, two-story "sky lobbies" on the 34/35th and 57/58th floors are no longer open to the public.
A building representative said Thursday she didn't know how long the viewing lobbies had been closed.

Curious... I don't have any apple products aside from an old Ipod, why do people who have apple products NEED an apple store so close? Do you have that many issues with the products that you have to visit on a regular basis?
I find it interesting the majority of people have Apple and H&M on here. Would those stores really be visited that often?
I think it is less about there being issues with their current product but more about Apple's continuous product line improvements. I would assume that 30% or more business professionals downtown use an Apple product for work or pleasure. With the amount of product updates and software updates within the year I feel it would be beneficial to an Apple store to move in. People could swing by on lunch breaks or after work to see the latest and greatest in Apple technology. I myself like to go in time to time to see what new accessories there are, or how something feels in my hand or finger tips, to get an idea of if I should improve my current devices.
Yes every so often there are small issues that you would like to see someone about and have the personal touch of professionals in those devices to help you out.
I think it would be a really good idea, and I think with a good location and the current and future density of downtown, it would be a smart idea.

Pitching has really been coming around. McHughes, Keuchel, Peacock, have been killing it as of late and the bull pen seems to be settling down some.
Astros are starting to mature before our eyes!

Conspicuous timing?!? Me thinks not. Those signs in their previous location would've absolutely killed Finger's main selling point for 500 Crawford.
I think by next year, the Citgo sign will be moved too, perhaps to one of the remaining new Community Leaders opening spots.
Doubtful, season ticket holders and fans alike who actually showed up to games hated the location of those signs. It's not as if many fans or season ticket holders showed up in the first place, but if you refuse to listen to their wants and needs for something so basic as sign placement, then you serious have issues.
The last thing you want to do is alienate the people that show up to watch a game, let alone the ones they already alienate by their broadcasting arrangements.
Maybe it was also conspicuous timing that baseball season was just around the corner to start back up again

Frank's downtown has a pretty darn good slice with a cool atmosphere

LOL at the rendering showing a man walking on what appears to be a nature trail through prairie grasslands!
Why the LOL? Aren't prairie grasslands more environmentally effective when it comes to rain run off, more economical with less need for mowing and maintenance, and gives the more natural look that can feel more inviting?

Anyone have a before and after picture of the garage?

I'd say he did okay last night ?

Other points of view:
Don't get me wrong, I want Lin to play well but I get nervous when he is on the court. Could my qualm be due to McHale's choices of when to put Lin in, sure it is possible.
At the same time however, McHale isn't the one that has consistently been running too fast down the court and missing point blank lay ups, or shooting no where near the hoop air balls. Jeremy Lin did play better in Game 5 but he tends to make more risky passes, or like he did in Game 4 hold the ball for an absurd amount of time and pass it to someone else to shoot.
Many on the team deserve criticism, especially Harden's passive play style as of only having some 11 points going into the 4th quarter last night (I believe).
It is the holding the ball and turn overs that are killing the team and Lin has been front and center in those categories for much of the second half of the season.
I want our boys to do well, but right now I don't have faith when the ball is in Lin's hands.

The cam for this is pretty far off from the site.

There appears to finally be a little activity gathering on the site! (Viewing from the 609 Main @ Texas webcam.)
I've seen vehicles come and go from the webcam last week. I won't get too excited until I see heavy machinery on site.

Soooo... Who here agrees that Jeremy Lin is absolutely awful and must go?

Where can I find the webcam for this project?
The webcam is for 609 Main but you can see the Marquis site in the upper right corner

Just to play devil's advocate here: I think the original height for one of the buildings was 12 stories, and it would be a pretty simple for a map editor to accidentally type 21...
If this would in fact be true, would you think it would be possible to have 580 units in two 12 story buildings?
To me that seems highly unlikely, but two 21 story buildings, more likely.

I was just at the ES site and the remaining parking lot space behind the hotel is very small. To hold hope that something other than a patch of grass or a flowerbed could be put in there is wishful thinking at best.
Sorry ES won this round.
You must have not have seen the very limited amount of space Astoria is being built on or the proposed building on block 98

They were setting up a big party tent on the lot this afternoon. Workers are already on site doing some surveying. I'm guessing we'll get the ceremony tomorrow as planned. Glad to see this moving along.
