METALHOUSTON 2 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Can anyone tell me what's goin' up there? For the 1st 3 years of my life I lived at 2719 Kipling and there were tennis courts across the street. When my mother and I moved, my Godmother moved into our apartment until the complex was torn down and rebuilt in 1998. as far as I know the tennis courts were never used again (if they were, I at least know they haven't been used in the last few years) and I've been wondering what was gonna become of them. Well, finally it looks like they'll - or that area will be part of West Avenue. Is that area between Sacket and Ferndale gonna be a part of it too or somethin' else? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Geoff8201 238 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 This little midrise has been rising fast... should look very nice when complete, but being only a few hundred feet away from two architectural masterpieces, West Ave. and 2727 Kirby, I would hope there would be more architectural appeal, visually. Not to say this isn't a nice looking building, but I'm just looking for a little more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
