  1. Many of those small schools find ways to compete. Baylor for example has great baseball, tennis, and women's basketball. They are only weak in football and men's basketball. They are weak in basketball because of the recent scandal and subsequent sanctions to their program. As far as these schools being "too smart" to compete they obviously can by Duke and Rice's example. On another topic schools such as UT and A&M consistently rank ahead of SMU and Baylor in academic surveys. A school's committment to academics has nothing to do with their committment to athletics.
  2. Federated has already stated they are dropping the Foley's name. Besides, a name is a name. You will still be able to buy the exact same stuff you could buy at Foley's or Dillards now.
  3. Does anyone know if Joskey's built that building before the Galleria was built?
  4. No observation deck. There is a sky lobby at the 13th floor. That's the lowest level of floor space. Most of the building is either tightly controled or vacant.
  5. The very top that has the stepped pyramid does not have windows. The part below that has darker glass and a brown stone facade. That part is rentable. That is the part of the building that is tapered. The floorplans for that part are smaller than the floors below. The floors below are just the plain blue glass facade.
  6. The first 12 floors are parking. At the top, where the building begins to taper, the square footage of the floors reduces, but I don't think anything is in the pyramid part.
  7. Sure he has opinions. I have opinions as well. I even say non flattering things about Houston often. But I try to offer solutions to the problems that I see. That is because I wish Houston to be the best city it can be. This particular poster only offers up what he sees as wrong with our city. To further add insult to injury he goes on to claim the superiority of his own city. I don't care about Dallas. I don't love it or hate it. I enjoy visiting it to see friends and family. However I don't need to be told that my city sucks and his city is so wonderful. THAT is why I call him a troll.
  8. It seems every post this poster makes is a post that trashes Houston. He is a troll, nothing more, nothing less.
  9. I have no idea what a retrofit would cost, but I guess it would be costly. There would be new floorplans, new water, electrical, and sewage hook ups, and residential soundproofing. But hey, John Hancock in Chicago was built as the ultimate mixed use, so why not Heritage Plaza?
  10. It's probably a smart idea for a new garage to go up. The new Chevron building does not have parking. Parking will probably get tight in that area of downtown.
