  1. CenterPoint Energy's Hiram Clarke Generating Station at 12045 South Main Street. Weeks ago I noticed a demolition permit at this address. Looks like a part of the site will be turned into Powerfuels' Houston Clean Energy Park. Center Point Energy will still occupy some of the parcel?
  2. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know of any plans to renovate/rebuild the Kroger at Cambridge/OST? I live right down the street from it and find it really convenient, but really outdated and the layout a bit cramped. I'm hoping something similar to the Montrose (near Westheimer) renovation could happen at this location. An expanded "prepared meals" section and dairy section would be really nice. Also, a bigger entrance would be good too...My far-fetched wish is that they would buy some of the land next to them and build a brand new store like the Studemont location, and convert the existing into more parking and a Kroger gas station...I went to the Kirby store the other day and it looks like they could handle a larger store in the area.
  3. This weekend, while driving to MD Anderson's East Campus, I passed the CenterPoint Energy Plaza Substation located at 7717 Almeda Road. Cool stuff here!! These (?) are oddly shaped. Any ideas what these are called, and what they are for?
  4. I was wondering what the new CenterPoint Energy Texas Medical Center Substation will look like. I thought I would stop at the CenterPoint property off Westpark Drive that's located on Newcastle Drive in Bellaire. I believe there are different uses for both sides of the street? On one side you have the actual power plant, and the other is used for communication/power towers? What are these weird objects?
  5. I believe the energy plant on Fannin & Braeswood/Pressler is CenterPoint. Don't think it's TECO? This past month there has been law enforcement stationed within the plant. I can only guess this is due to the recent rise of utility plant attacks? I wonder why the constant guard? Kind of scary, but they are protecting it.
  6. Noticed the widening of the dirt road a long with a new fence and CenterPoint sign. What's the deal with the independent horse stables way down there? Thought I read years ago that there was a lease agreement between the original landowners and CenterPoint Energy. The family was able to keep their horses on a patch of the land. Is there a name for the stables? I looked on satellite, to find a oval track and a few old buildings/shacks. The oval track is to give the horses exercise? Didn't think there was a racing track here?
  7. Surely there has been retained a photograph of this unusual, at the time, architectural design. I worked there from 1979-1980 and have been trying to describe it to a friend, who doubts its existence. The "remodeling" in 1996 hath rendered what amounts to a new and drastically different design and she cannot visualize my descripton. It also was renamed several times, but I believe the latest is Houston Industries Building. I have Googled and Ask.com'ed ad nauseum and still no likeness of it. Here is a description from HH (Historic Houston): 1100 Milam Building 1100 Milam Street Architect: Joint Venture Ill: Koetter, Tharp, Cowell
