    Hurricane Harvey probably ruined any plans they had for this building.

    I will make sure to point at you and laugh as I drive my gasoline powered car by you as you sit in the middle of nowhere recharging your electric hoopty at a diesel powered generator recharging station. And... for sh!ts and giggles... take a lithium ion battery and drive a nail through it. You will want to stand back when you do that... That is what happens to electric cars when they get in an accident.

    weird, the address is wrong. 1201 Caroline is the bar that may or may not still be Reserve 101. The stupid place is 1204, this one should be an even number address. btw, if y'all are ever inclined to cause mayhem, all the pin numbers at the stupid place are 1204....

    I would like to see every freeway intersection look like my favorite one, the I-10 East ramp to the East Loop North, but, realistically, it's not going to happen, and some urban scarring will have to be lived with.

    This is now a general bird thread.. . I saw this guy and it's mate in my front yard late one night, this was the best picture I could get with the junk cameraphone I had earlier this year (that garbage phone has been replaced) They have long beaks, a decent wing span, and their legs are about a foot and a half long. At first, I thought the neighbor had the poor taste to put flamingos in her front yard, but then they moved...

    Digging the North Canal would help alleviate the flooding problem here, possibly making this project unnecessary

    the most dangerous place in Houston is anywhere between her and a tv camera

    I give it a year, two if they have really deep pockets. The other bars and restaurants are dependent upon activities at the "stupid place" in that complex, which are few and far between now that they have lost their minds. Greenstreet is *not* a destination one goes to regularly.

    it's nice, but it's no Cross Eye Center.

    to me, it says that they hired someone's brother's girlfriend who thinks she is an interior/exterior designer, but who has no sense of color. I lived in an apartment building way out west that was all mustard yellow and coffee stain brown. It hurt the eyes.

    anything on plebbit that isn't a symphony of stupidity gets hit with the ban hammer.

    Friendswood High School has started construction of a new performing arts center to replace a 50 year old auditorium. I hope they don't have the same problems Stratford had since the shows done out there are of professional quality. Having the orchestra in a separate room is unacceptable! They're a major part of the show!

    Driving up 59 inside the beltway was a surprise for me - THEY EXTENDED THE HEIGHT OF THE MEDIAN BARRIER!! You can't see opposing traffic anymore if your car is low (like mine). So far, they have done between the Beltway and halfway between Bellaire and Hillcroft.

    it's even worse than that.... *I* am wondering why those damned things don't work. but I know why... it was built by the lowest bidder using cheap chinese garbage led strips and controllers instead of the good stuff which is manufactured out here in the middle of nowhere Ft Bend County.... Plus, the installer probably doesn't have a maintenance contract with the City...

    Some of the highways in other states now have 6' high median barriers. The new I-10 construction in Louisiana has these. Not only do you not see wrecks on the other side unless you drive a high vehicle, the glare from opposing traffic's headlights doesn't mess with you anymore. That is the best reason for high walls.

    they need 17 acres of ROW... is this like one parcel owner who hasn't sold yet?
  19. Tumbleweed_Tx
    they COULD dig a ditch through there to make sure half of downtown doesn't flood.... heh heh (how about that nice out of context quote there... lol)

    it's a Skanska property. They have a track record of doing what they say they will do. It may take a couple of years like the new BoA tower, but, when they came to town, they built, they sold, they built again.

    just so long as they don't mess with that Whataburger. That one is the least busy at 2am, I can usually be In N Out of there is 10 minutes after a long night working

    1) oooo.. trains! i love watching them, i hate hearing them. Quiet Zones improve the quality of life immensely. 2) can someone move that thing out of the way so I can see the sculpture?
  23. Tumbleweed_Tx
    we don't need any of that, we just need a ditch to divert some water to try to keep it out of some of the downtown area.

    IIRC, there WAS a Mattress Firm here... and across the street, and on the next block.... and a half mile away

    I did some work for McIntyre's on St Paddy's Day weekend. I kinda like the place. The first and second levels are open to the brutal north winds, but they have heaters, so it balances out. The weather was great on the 17th. Anyway, I had some lighting fixtures with very narrow beams. One of them was able to hit the Main Street Bridge about 500' away. This should happen more often....
