Great pics, put the one's I took the other day to shame. Will post my other ones from other construction sites in a couple weeks when I get back to Manchester. Thanks for the lovely pics
-
You also said it would never get built -
Cool I still think that it's going to happen, I'll just be more excited once ground is broken. Dates have been pushed back so many times.
-
Yeah I know, but if they did they wouldn't be the Astros we love so much
-
Cool, and Welcome Houston 1973
-
I know it's a bit premature, but I got my tickets to game two. I don't even know if I'll be in town that day(I should be though). If I'm not I'll give/sell them. If they don't make it I get my money back. Come on 'Stros!!!

That should be the Rocket's slogan this year "Rockets.....Stay Healthy" or "Just Say NO to Injuries"

Texaco Building (now The Star) At 1111 Rusk Street
Houstonian in Iraq replied to editor's topic in Downtown
Cool once again thanks for the Update? I love this building, back in Aug I saw pressure washing being done, I wasn't sure if it was just routine or they were actually about to start something. I couldn't remember the name of the building so I never posted the pressure wash. I knew there was a thread open I just didn't bother. Same questions as the Ben Milam building if you don't mind Ron4Tx -
That's great!!!!! In Aug I went to a game and saw people working in it, like everyone else I wasn't sure if they were getting ready to tear it down. Now we know If you don't mind me asking,what's your source? Is there a website maybe any artist renderings? Tenant names? Thanks for the update

About freakin-frackin time. The 'stros won. Finally, I can go to bed. Too bad the Padres lost. Oh well, we're still in the fight
-
Yep, I was rooting for the 'Stros and Padres last night Astros play the Pirates(they aren't doing well) and the Cards are playing the Padres(West Division leaders) for the next couple of games. So we have a really good chance of going to the playoffs

Welcome to HAIF. I'm also a big fan of this building. Here are some more pics.(taken a couple months ago) The builing next to it looks like it was fixed up a bit, but it's still boarded up. Maybe they ran out of money or are waiting for someone to buy it off them.

It could be that too many people were asking about the project and they weren't getting any work done. I really don't know, I'm just sitting back and waiting. If this doesn't take off in mid Oct we still have the DT Park to look foward to(also scheduled for mid Oct)it seems like it's coming along on time
-
Yeah I know what you mean. But according to the Chronicle http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headli...ro/4188462.html So maybe it's Costco and mixed use. I do hope they do a lot more than just another box store
-
Don't thank me. I think nmguy or Red originally brought it to everyone's attention. I just kept it to spread support for rail down Richmond.
-
Cool, thanks for the update. On their site it says the official groundbreaking is 16 Oct. So it looks like they're rolling along to make that date
-
Don't really care much for Maxim, didn't really care if I got it back(read all there was to read in it). The only reason I got it was because it was the only thing that wasn't a porn, workout or gun magazine in the mini PX. But if I did have it I would of posted the picture here for those who haven't seen it. Oh Well
-
I doubt it. The land for the new UHD building is already cleared and is being built. I Believe they were already on the 2nd floor and the parking garage was coming along aswell.
-
They cleared out the AstroWorld land without yet committing to build anything. I'll wait till the ribbon cutting ceremony or official announcement before I get my hopes up
-
I'm really late. I saw that add a cuople weeks ago in Maxim aswell. I don't really look at ads either, but it just hit me "Hey, that's Houston!" I let a buddy take the mag to the porta-john and that was the last I saw of it, if not I would post the ad. Was expecting something about "Houston area Jeep dealer" too. The park is Sam Houston park in the foreground if I'm not mistaken. Tinsley park is a bit further down Allen Parkway.

Here it is wededg@aol.com. It was originally on the HP site but I think he might of removed it becuase too many people were bugging him. I'm still waiting on our ussual nay sayers to post their usual nay sayer remarks "sure it got moved back....cuz it's not going to be built....I'm always right...blah blah...." Then people like me to say something like "these projects take time.....there is a lot involved.....the project is still a GO" until this thing gets built or is officially killed off. Thanks for the update C2H. As for the HAIF groundbreaking, whose that person that plans the HAIF get togethers? Get him/her to work their majic

Astro's are down by seven games in the NL central and only down by four games for the wild card. I would think that with only about a month left in the season that there would be a bit more hype here. I was fortunate enough to see the Stros spank Pittsburgh 14-1 earlier this month. That was probably my last game of the season.
-
LOL That can be the next HAIF meet and greet. Everyone could just bring a pick axe and shovel and let the good times roll Yes it's a go. Semipro will tell you different It sounds like he's coming around though
-
Thanks for the pics Jason. At first I was a bit skeptical about how it might turn out. Their past work doesn't look half bad. I would really like to see the old dome take on a new life.....even if a bit faux..... it's something else for people to see and do while letting the dome live on. PS welcome to HAIF cosmo (last name wouldn't happen to be Kramer? )
