  1. I found this: http://www.hotelbusiness.com/main.asp Hit Ctrl+F and look for Indigo - it's a java pop-up, so I don't have the exact addy. To sum up, it says
  2. There is already a thread started on this topic. http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/i...wtopic=3024&hl=
  3. Actually, it reminded me more of the opening of Law & Order than the Texas flag. *Doink, Doink*
  4. No. Seriously. I think we light up just fine at night. Or perhaps you haven't seen? http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/001...s2_dmsp_big.jpg Just because you can't seem to find a picture on the internet doesn't mean squat. If you haven't ever been to Houston, how do you know?
  5. I really enjoy Palio's pizzas. Thin crust without too much marinara sauce and tons of cheese. Mmmm.
  6. Cyclone.. Tornado... Same thing. The Cyclone opened in 1976 and is still there. I'm not crazy. Texas Cyclone
  7. I think Texas Tornado has some kind of historic value to it, now that I think on it. Here's a little article on it: http://www.ultimaterollercoaster.com/coast.../late_80s.shtml And I was wrong. According to this it isn't at AstroWorld any more. I think I will cry.
  8. Hey, it's still there. Last time I rode it was in the mid '90s though. One of the best wooden coasters ever.
  9. The one in Louisville is still good, but I wouldn't go within a block of the one here. It's just fallen into a pit of despair. I'm not the only one.
  10. Word is there's only 139 units in the four-story building and 150 units in the big one. Perhaps the ones in the larger building will be larger 2-3 bedroom units and the ones in the four-story building will be efficiencies and 1 bedroom units. This is just my assumption. Any confirmations? Denials?
  11. Come on, everyone! If he doesn't set off the Troll-O-Meter, we're going to have to get him to run around with a big blinking sign saying
  12. Hmm. Actually, there's that eyesore right next to the surface lot and Root that could stand to be torn down. You know, that building with all that red lettering on the top? All that space... Think of the trees they could plant there.
  13. Hey guys. I finally got a chance to do a drive-by photo shoot of the Metropole. As seen from the parking lot next door (the east side of the building): A tad closer up: Initial drive-by, going west on Richmond: Fancy signage, eastbound on Richmond, the west side of the building: This is where I'm sure that 4-story building is going to be; on the Edloe (west) side. I'm terribly sorry these aren't any better. The only time in the day to take pics of this building is on my way to work and traipsing about a construction site in heels isn't ideal for photographing a construction site.
  14. I don't work for ChevronTexaco, for one, and there isn't an inter-energy-company network (I think we get in trouble for that ... something about Enron. ) that sends out such notices. The only way we hear about stuff like that is from "Friends who work there" and articles in the newspaper. I haven't been in too many companies, so ... Then again, the memo could be floating around on my desk somewhere.
  15. You'll be glad for that parking garage when you move into your newly-remodeled condo overlooking the Bayou.
  16. From the way the Chronicle talks about it, you'd think it was the end. I didn't realize they were moving into the Enron building. I would've researched it more, but I got busy and I just saw it in the headline this morning.
  17. Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. When do your plan for the rennovations to begin, InnerLoop?
  18. I'm terrified. I'm in the energy business. ChevronTexaco is a huge player. If they pull out of Houston and go some place else, what does that say to the rest of the gas business? ... After this year, I'm not moving back to the East Coast, I don't care how "close everything is."
  19. Looks like Heritage might actually house some new companies now. I hope someone moves in, I'd hate to just see it sit empty. It's a beautiful building. From the article: Read more...
  20. Go check out that site. It tells you. [Obligatory Quote] Are you suggesting coconuts migrate? [/Obligatory Quote]
