America Tower: Office Skyscraper At 2929 Allen Pkwy.
Tumbleweed_Tx replied to jm1fd's topic in Skyscrapers
IIRC, it was still the Continental Airlines building at the time. I thought it was funny that southbound Southwest Airlines flights made their sharp left turn over this building on their way to Hobby... It's like they were buzzing the competition.- 56 replies

heh. No, I'm not named after this restaurant. -
Houston Cotton Exchange And Board Of Trade At 1310 Prairie St.
Tumbleweed_Tx replied to IronTiger's topic in Downtown
I'm going to guess there was a building a few feet away next door, so they didn't go through the expense of putting a nice facade on something that not many people would see.- 7 replies

2024 NCAA National Football Championship
Tumbleweed_Tx replied to hindesky's topic in Sports and Stadia
I did a thing at (insert venue name here) for one of the two sportsball teams from Monday's match. Their head of the board of regents was standing next to me while the president of their university was rallying the troops, bragging about how their sportsball players are smarter than the rest. The head of the board of regents leaned over to me and asked me if I was taking notes.... I leaned back at her and told her I'm from Texas, you people from north of the Red River don't know jack about sportsball. -

what did you think of the almost new Warehouse? The construction project is halfway done, there's major things planned, coming in the next few months.

POST: Mixed-Use Development At 401 Franklin St.
Tumbleweed_Tx replied to sevfiv's topic in Going Up!
yes. Almost every hotel downtown has large meeting rooms and ballrooms, most are booked a year or more in advance. When most people think of conventions, they think of the quilting thing, the United Rents thing (it takes up the entire GRB with overflow to hotel ballrooms), and other large events like that. There are hundreds of corporate shows every year around town, more space is needed.- 1,560 replies

the Furs have been known to rehearse at Francisco's Studios in EaDo. We had them for two nights once. We did the first night of their tour one day, then had them for a private party the next day. Do i miss those days? No. Thanks for getting me fired, dave chappelle... .

the guy quoted in the cnn article is right. We need an intermodal location for bus and train. The only difficulty is that the train station is nearly impossible to find, and the parking lot there is garbage for busses at the moment. The advantage to using the train station as intermodal is that it is in a relatively safe area thanks to all the police officer stations nearby.
