    Two plazas across from each other is over doing it. I wouldn't mind seeing a new Federal courthouse being built there. Then raze the old one in the "theater district"and add some sort of entertainment venue in it's place.

    Don't know if there's a thread on this so here it is. Feel free to merge if there is. I went to Northline Mall the other week to get a haircut. At "Mikes" (looks outdated but cheapest, fastest, best bald fades in town, the chicas there aren't too bad either). Anyways I noticed just about everything there was closed or no longer there. The only places still there besides Mikes was some shoe stores and HCC. I asked the lady cutting my hair what was going on. She said that Nortline Mall is no longer Northline Mall, that it's going to be the Northline Shopping Center. And that everything will get leveled. I'm sure most have seen the "open air" shopping or group of strip center's going up. What I didn't know was that their will be a Walmart going up aswell. I'm really not too happy about that. For the most part because of how the other Walmarts around town have gone to crap. Sure the over all change and additions can't be any worse than what's there now, can it? Maybe the light rail stopping there might make the developers want to make the Northline Shopping center shine. One can dream

    I couldn't have put it better Danax. I'm guilty of liking all three buildings too. I guess we just have bad taste OH well

    I clicked over to the chron to see how the 'Stros were doing. Man, feels pretty bad losing to the Cards especially seeing how bad the Cards lost against the Mets earlier this week. I just keep on telling myself "It's still really early in the season"

    Interesting! Wish there was more info on it. Looks like 50 plus floors. Residential/ mixed use is what downtown needs. Hope this gets off the ground. What's at Texas and Main now?

    I like Market sqaure, I would replace or get rid of that awful sculpture though. Maybe add a chess table and concessions. I think the development of the surrounding buildings (that defunct Mexican restaurant)and surface lots is key to the park's vibrancy.

    Go to the city hall annex buiding at 611 Walker. Ask the person at the desk, they'll point you in the right direction. If my memory serves me right. Good luck
