Karick42 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) Can anyone tell me if they have shut the beacon off? The last couple of times that I have seen the Galleria area at night, it hasn't been on. I tried to do some research to see if any of the news stations had any reports on it but I couldn't find anything. I just had this huge fear that because of high gas prices they might have shut it down for a while or something. Thanks!

So it is hit or miss, but it is still on at random times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaskerr Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) I worked for a company in Transco/Williams for about two and a half years. Was in an office area on the 56th floor close to the northeast corner. The elevators on 1 will take you to 51, then switch to access 52-64. The ones on 2 take 3-50. Taking 1 to 51 took around 45-50 seconds. Being that high up was great, you wouldn't believe all the people who had binoculars or, in a few cases, telescopes. If there was a wreck on 610, you could walk down the east hallway and see everyone standing at the windows looking through their binoculars down onto the accident. They were also good for bikini watches at the half dozen or so hotel swimming pools that you could see from there. When I started, 51 was still open to the west side, but by the time I left the company, Hines had installed a conference room that took up 98% of the window area facing towards the west. The east side was office space...some financial consulting firm I believe. Unfortunately I never tried to go higher to the other floors. Once, when a buddy and I were bored, we tried to race all the way down the stairwell. Being out of shape, I was ready to collapse before we gave up around the 20th floor. Had to keep going down to another floor before we could exit the stairwell without using a cardkey. We never had to evacuate during a fire drill, only had to wait by a stairwell. I just couldn't imagine the chaos that would ensue if they tried to evacuate the building that way.

travelguy_73 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) For anyone curious, I was told by a building maintenance manager that the beacon atop Williams Tower was pretty badly damaged in Ike. So it might be a while before we see her light again. Other parts of the building fared much better, with water damage mainly in the corner offices.

travelguy_73 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I mentioned this in another Williams Tower thread, but the beacon was damaged by the hurricane and it will probably be a while before any of us see if shining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arisegundo Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I saw one helicopter shot on 26 that showed some gaping holes in the pyramid structure at the very top of the tower, but I haven't seen or heard anything else about it.

carol802 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 This probably should be elsewhere on this site but I think the folks I have seen responding on this section might know.We went to the Medical Center again today & were early so we drove past S.Main on 610 and looped around to Bellaire so I could see my old stomping grounds, Meyerland Plaza. (Bought Sgt Pepper & first stereo headphones there). It looked great! Area doing better than I had assumed.I hadn't been that way in maybe 20 years. As we headed towards Bellaire exit looking North on 610 somewhere up ahead (at 59 maybe?) is this HUGE gothic/art deco/Bat Man looking skyscraper. It struck me as Beautiful and Looming.What is that? Where is it? How long has it been there? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carol802 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the info. That's it! I have probably seen in from different angles over the years but that straight line towards it like a runway after making that 610 curve heading north puts a whole new dimension on it. I lived in Houston for 32 years (worked at St.Lukes when they began the twin towers in the early 70's) , moved to Southern California for 10 years and enjoyed L.A.'s everchanging skyline, then moved to the Beaumont area (zero "skyscrapers") and have been here for 13 years. Not regularly seeing the Houston skyline makes me appreciate it even more when I see these buildings from different angles. They are truly captivating. If you haven't seen that building from that angle in a noon slighty gloomy day it's like they had they direction in mind when they designed it. That picture from that angle doesn't do the building justice. I look forward to seeing it at night from that 610 Bellaire direction & see how the lighting edges that art deco look.Thanks again!Also passed the Capitan Theater on 225 and it still looks great and yep! still no "El" Edited December 5, 2008 by carol802 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carol802 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I had seen in one of the older strings about old theaters that there was some confusion from a younger crowd as to why they would not have put El before Capitan. Just thought I would throw that in there since I got a good look at it the other day. I also saw the Bellaire turned Whole Foods. We used to go on Saturday mornings for the kiddie shows but I mostly remember going to see Romeo & Juliet in Jr High and getting my first big smooch with a boy with braces on his teeth. Also on that same side of Bellaire but past Stella Link was the Prince's hamburger stand where you talked to the prince/clown head to order. Across the street at the corner was a Weiners where I clearly remember the seperate and unequal bathrooms and water fountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carol802 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) That's it! The Price's I remember was in the late 50's & 60's. Google shows a jack-in-the-box there now. We (my mom & siblings) didn't travel far off of Stella Link/Weslyan in those years from South Main to 59. I went to West University Elementary & Shearn (& Johnston JrH, Westbury & Madison), and shopped at the Weingartens at Montclair shopping center & the one south of Braeswood. We would go to Weiners or to the Bellaire theater or our pediatricians office that was across the street from the theater. They put up an A&W at the (Southwest?) corner of Stella L & Bellaire in the late 60's early 70's. We went to the Prince's on S.Main as a HUGE treat. I'm recovering from a major head injury. This website that I found only a week ago has been a God Send! It has helped re-fire memory points that weren't that great before the accident!
