    I grew up riding go-carts down Voss Rd, riding bikes through the middle class bedroom communities of the memorial villages, canoeing down the bayou, and swinging on a rope swing in sandalwood. I felt safe, and my diamond back carried me swiftly. Is that really so sinful?

  1. Google has a tendency to serve different results to different folks. I had to use the proposed FIMA flood maps for the most recent imagery. http://maps.riskmap6.com/TX/Montgomery/
  2. Two smaller grand parkway mobile cranes up on each side of 45 also. This is going to be a busy intersection from now on. http://impactnews.com/houston-metro/tomball-magnolia/area-grand-parkway-construction-kicks-off-with-ground-breaki/
  3. Thanks for the link Urban. Knowing the height restrictions really helps you visualize how this place will look going down 45 or the GP. It's amazing to watch the next energy corridor being created. Question for anyone: Do you think this place could become a tourist destination?
  4. They got a variance to build it up (or at least part of it): http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/courier/news/boy-scouts-to-begin-evaluating-possible-camp-strake-buyers/article_83b68a37-ce55-566c-9ab0-5a4b7a4ef55d.html
  5. It does appear that way. I thought it was just me.
  6. Thanks for the kind comments all. wxman-- When I saw your post, it gave me an excuse to get out of the house make a wine run. I shot all those photos in about 20 minutes. From Research Forest, I went South and took a couple shots from the car. Next, I U-turned at Rayford and went North over the Woodlands Parkway overpass (don't try this at home kids). Next, I took a right on Woodloch forest and got out of my car on Waterway square to get the fourth shot. This is my favorite. It's hard to believe this is The Woodlands. Got back in my car, parked in the Hubble and Hudson parking garage, got out, and walked to Crush wine bar. The last shot was from their rooftop patio. What's not so obvious, is the energy around Waterway. The entire area is alive with people of all ages and different cultures. The square had an outdoor band. It feels like a mix of San Francisco and Barcelona. I love The Woodlands.
  7. Interesting. This was more than a remodel job, this was a tear-out-a-piece-of-the-mall-and-start-over job.
  8. Hmmm. Interesting. I haven't noticed this. It might just be change in The Woodlands Development Company's ownership. I'm not a huge fan of the newer developments in Harris county.
  9. The traffic signals, while they are not on wires, don't follow The Woodlands standard. All poles in TW are painted brown to resemble trees. Commercial signs can only be so high. I hope it's not an indication of the rest of the development. The trees are an aesthetic resource of this area. I hope they at least keep a line of them between retail.
  10. Gorgeous day today. A lot of people out. Shot with my cell phone.
  11. I know this thread is old, but I sat on that same bench. Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree was my request. It's nice to see this post. I wish I could share it with my mom.
  12. Just pointing out that, you seem to post whatever you want without regard to fact. Guess that's what you get from a lawyer that uses an anarchist as his profile pic. Too funny.
  13. Going South, The Grand Parkway will feed directly into 59, The Hardy, I-45, and 249. The timing of the campus and those sections of the GP is no accident. Most people in the back of The Woodlands take 2978, which they are imminently expanding. So that's three arteries going N/S hrough The Woodlands without going up 45.
