brijonmang Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Great pics..and such a variety...now is the time to take pictures around town because everything is green and there are still fronts that come through and clean the air so you can take long range photos...again nice pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomv Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Great photos! I enjoyed looking at them. Thank God I have Roadrunner. I hate paying $45 a month but it sure paid off there...I find it ironic that the Medical Center looks so vibrant and full of life...So that's what happened to Big Boy!

Talbot Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Skyscrapercity.comanother urban/skyscraper forum.Just be careful because some of the forumers there have a tendency to be quite ignorant and just plain rude about Houston and it's residents. Of course not all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstar Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Great to see brownstones going up in the warehouse district. I'd thought that architectural concept was lost on Houston. So much nicer than all the faux lofts you see going up. Great pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
