The GOP nominee for President in 2024 is....
lockmat replied to Blue Dogs's topic in National Politics
Maybe Tulsi Gabbard? Could be Desantis. If Trump wins he could ride his coattails as VP and gain more exposure, giving him momentum into the next election. Even though it may not prevent him from winning, Trump would be foolish to choose another Establishment republican. I think Carson would be a really good choice but I think he said he will not run again. He was neck and neck with Trump in the primaries.- 13 replies

Pence is done in the Republican Party. I think the only question left unanswered right now is if Desantis plans on running against Trump or not. A lot can happen in one or two years.- 13 replies

Exxon Moving Headquarters To Houston?
lockmat replied to cloud713's topic in General Houston Discussions
The Chronicle is a complete joke now. They don’t report real news anymore. They don’t even have “News” on their main page. The other day when SCOTUS ruled against Biden’s vax mandate, they didn’t have a single article about it, not even from the AP. -

Nobody driving by will ever notice this building. No character at all. Sad.

It's nice, but not a huge fan. If it's not much different looking than an office building, to me, there is something wrong.

I like this plan. These buildings are more beautiful and it seems to me the materials are easier to maintain and age better than modern materials. This architectural style has lasted thousands of years. What are some everyone’s favorite non-classical federal buildings? The original article by Architectural Record is worthy of a read, since it makes helpful clarifications not told by the headline and gives the philosophy of the mandate. https://www.architecturalrecord.com/articles/14466-will-the-white-house-order-new-federal-architecture-to-be-classical

Thoughts? “Donald Trump wants to “make federal buildings beautiful again” by mandating a return to “the classical architectural style”, according to a draft executive order obtained by Architectural Record on Tuesday.” https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/04/trump-federal-buildings-beautiful-classical-order

The architecture and design for Houston is actually becoming consistently good, imo. At least it's trending in the right direction. This looks very good.

Easily the most iconic tower on Post Oak after Williams Tower. One of the greatest additions to the city in my opinion.
