  1. Yep. Their leader said: "As we look to the future, our business needs, opportunities for cost savings, and team members’ preferences about the future of work, we have made the decision to relocate HPE’s headquarters to the new campus under construction in Spring, Texas, just outside of Houston."

    A-Way-Out Bail Bonds on Congress... very cool mural!
  3. https://abc13.com/high-speed-rail-in-texas-bullet-train-between-houston-and-dallas-tribune-to/8040133/ Not so fast there...
  4. If they cut off downtown and put it out of its misery, I would be satisfied.
  5. There may be some extensive drainage work that needs to be done, like was done on some other major routes in that area.

    Boomtown Coffee on Congress?
  7. People use convenience stores because they're... convenient. Doesn't matter if they sell gas or not. Just like the old corner store.
  8. Interesting aside... this building was next door to Jimmie Green's place, and he bought it to tear down and expand his business (I assume). It was called the Bible Cyclorama.
  9. Not great quality at all, but this is from the January 28, 1955 Chronicle story about the opening of the dealership.

    Of the many message boards I visit, this is my favorite thread. Thank you, as always, for the great photos!

    Calhoun Lofts at UH?
  12. Dang! That's not good. Can't have you sidelined for any length of time.
  13. I have heard nary a word about any Texas University indoor football practice facility with an eight-lane track. I'll believe it when I see it. They don't have the land for that.
  14. Time lapse video of dome being inflated.
  15. Great shots @ChannelTwoNews! Especially like the second photo. These show just how huge the project is.

    2219 Canal St.?
  17. Because right now it exists only in people's imaginations. I have ridden tens of thousands of miles on trains in my life. They serve their purpose, but not here, in my mind. I understand that others heartily disagree with me.
  18. Just as most of you love skyscrapers, a concept I find to be outmoded (I'm more of a low-rise architecture fan), you appear to love this fantastical train idea. I would prefer public investments go to designing and implementing highway changes/upgrades to safely handle autonomous vehicles. Let's see what happens. I'm willing to bet that if this thing does come to fruition it will cost north of $40 billion and a large chunk of that will be taken from the public wallet.
  19. "...monies we hope to receive from President Trump's infrastructure stimulus through the Department of Transportation" that money is not a loan The original proposals for this project touted private money only. They assured folks that no tax money would be used. As expected, that was a lie.
