    That joker definitely looks tall.

    Keep in mind that the Greater Montrose area is a general term for a group of smaller communities, some of which have different demographics as well as designs from the other neighbornoods. But Cap'n Barnacle's point about some of the broad labeling of certain areas (that is, Upper Kirby, River Oaks, etc) is well taken.

    I'd agree that there's nothing overtly flashy about the design, but in retrospect, I think I can understand the designer trying to make HC 6 blend in more with its surrounding (specifically HC 5). Sometimes a cutting edge design is bedeviled by its surroundings, and given HC 6's location, maybe daring might not work as well. For example, I think Heritage Plaza would look a lot less attractive if not for Wells Fargo Plaza being nearby, and so forth.

    Houston Center 6 seems to fit very much with the design of Houston Center 5. It also looks to have some design elements similar to Calpine Center.

    What's funny is that in my experience, the most obnoxious of Cowboys fans are not even in Texas but outside the state.

    I was going to say it but Coog beat me to it. For downtown, and for an establishment that's looking to be more of a destination for more than the weekday lunch time crowd, $24 for a steak dinner of any kind isn't bad at all.

    You're kidding, right?

    So maybe not as much of a disappointing start to 2008 afterall.

    BAHAHAHA!!!

    Yes, from what I hear from people I know in Dallas, Valley View has many of the same charateristics as Sharpstown Mall.

    I've got no major problems with Jones Hall other than, as H-Town Man mentioned, the acoustics could be a tad better. Is it the best peforming arts structure in the country? Of course not. Is it an eyesore? Nope. In fact, it's attractive in many ways, especially at MCM structures go.

    On the one hand, it's great that they'll be filling in another empty lot, especially in the eastern half of DT. On the other hand, I was hoping that they might have considered renovating Ben Milam Square.

    ^^^ He's two more games from being without a team and possibly out of the NFL. He's now backing up a guy Carolina picked up from off the street. Shame.

    I'm starting to like the affect, though. It seems to give the building more perspective when approaching it from a distance.

    Staggering to think about. Of course, I'm comparing the developer's bank account and assets to mine.

    Well, after driving by this morning and seeing the sign posted on the property, I can definitely confirmt that it looks a LOT like the Hobby Center design, except the roofline is curved rather than angular and it doesn't look to be as tall. The color scheme and window treatments are very much the same, however.

    Steve was definitely under control when he drove to the basket (although, he did take a third step that wasn't called ). The main thing is that he knew what he wanted to to and executed it. The highlight of the night for me was the little dance of emotion after the block on Marion. That was hilarious. The Rox could use more of that in-game emotion, IMO.
  18. The Great Hizzy!
    I'll definitely be trying to look out for the new renderings when I'm in the area. This is very encouraging.
  19. The Great Hizzy!
    If I'm seeing this location in my mind properly, it "seems" small. I'm assuming a greater part of the parcel stretches out under the foliage that hangs over the bayou in that area?
  20. The Great Hizzy!
    Sounds exciting!

    They may just have to sit and "deal with it" after all... http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5287614.html

    You get a real feel for Uptown's area in that photo, including just how much room there is for redevelopment. It would be cool if one of you really crafty graphics fiends could come up with a composite sketch of how the Uptown skyline would look with all the proposed projects (Turnberry, Cosmopolitan, Titan, River Oaks, High Street, etc, etc) built out.

    That seems quite ambitious for that section of land. Of course, it's hard to really get a feel for the scale since historically all we've had to go on was the lot to a car dealership. In any case, it certainly will be a volatile addition to that area of town.
  24. The Great Hizzy!
    This should be good...

    In all fairness, DT Denver really isn't that much busier than DT Houston. We're not talking about a complete ghost town of a CBD on weekends or nights but it certainly isn't where it was or where most of us hopes it will be.
