  1. I actually agree, I am amazed at how little the people north of I-10 going up Gessner care about their neighborhoods. There is SO much litter on the street compare to the south end going towards memorial. The comment was fair in my opinion.
  2. I wonder what will happen to the old Joe Auto shopping center, is that the location of the condo mid rise?
  3. Well, they are building it from scratch, so it is up to the planners. It is proven research that grid neighborhoods with small blocks improve pedestrian activity.
  4. If we have another hurricane hit New Orleans, it will get GREAT business! page!
  5. This will help beautify the 3rd Ward, and they need the help. With the Light Rail, thing are looking up for them!
  6. Only when I went to see BB Mountain was it busy. All other times, at night, I could pass gas and not have a anyone complain! (this is just an exaggeration, I don't do that in public!)
  7. Something obviously is wrong then, because not enough people are supporting this theatre and are going to AMC, Edwards, and Cinemark for their needs. I have been to the ROT (River Oaks Theatre, no pun intended) and it is usually empty.
  8. Greenspoint Website for statistics Mall renovation flyer
  9. Stadium Seating, THX sound systems, DLP projectors, that is the future. That and home theatre. River Oaks Theatre belongs in a small town, not houston and especially not in such a great location. Maybe they can re-invent it into the property.
  10. That is probably the BEST idea anyone has ever had. Actually build a highrise next to the one thing that every highrise needs, a close pedestrian friendly grocery store 2 blocks away. All the other highrises in uptown and downtown can't claim this. Good for them, we can always get another theatre, but this will really impact the shopping center economically and give it a longer activity time.
  11. If you think about it the west growth is due to the clean/cheap land in west Houston. Katy, Fairfield and Sugarland look cleaner and the land is cheap. All the damn refineries in east Houston make growth there impractical.
  12. WAY too many parking lots (instead of street parking and BLVD's) to still be pedestrian friendly, and the grid system is limited.
  13. I think a for lease sign is going up, if it has not already!
  14. This has to be the best deisgn for a shopping center I have seen in a long time, where is the thread regarding the HISD headquarters, I am interested in seeing this one too.
  15. real old topic, someone please merge this one with the other thread. Go to original topic...
  16. Sugarland today is what Sharpstown was in 1960. . .in other words "the greatest place to live and raise a family" Sharpstown today is what Sugarland will be in 2040, trust me. Rosenburg will all of the sudden be the new Sugarland years from now. It is a natural cycle of suburban sprawl. (if you notice, Sharpstown has highrise condos and office buildings around a shopping mall too, hint hint) Stick with Uptown, that is where the infrustructure is going to be, Sugarland will eventually run out of steam like Sharpstown did.
  17. How is that even funny? Anyways, the lot next to the waterwall should be turned into a Whole Foods grovery store so that the tenants of the hotels and the near by condos can walk to a grocery store. It would really make work,live, and play feasible for a pedistrian lifestyles.
  18. I think it was a lame attempt to be funny. We need better comedians on here.
  19. I know that Neiman Marcus is not owned by Simon, the company that owns the mall. The mall just came out to NM's front door. The same goes for Dillards. A skywalk would be nice, but it is unlikely a common corridor would be built for something that is not really included in the Galleria mall, even though NM is included in the mall directory. NM was built before the Galleria was and the own the land it sits on, not Simon.
  20. I still think people will flock since it will be the only one in Houston This would be great as it would be another entertainment factor to have uptown. Edwards is close, but it is in Greenway Plaza area. Uptown has shopping and eating cornered, but with Landmark and General Theatres gone, it needs a nice new complex, maybe a 12 screen theatre.
