wxman Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm confused (and a bit gullible) but is that lego thing for real or is somebody being funny? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Most of the back half of the building has now been demolished. Excavators are doing a number on the parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arche_757 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I was just messing around! I posted a page or two back about how we're waiting to see anything about this tower - and how I'm betting it won't be as grand as some say... hence the silly Lego Tower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 seriously? HAHAHA. I went back to look at the lego photo again and I saw the flames on top and I just died laughing all over again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 We can all admit if Amegy had a flaming spire (or spires) as an architectural embellishment! Well it'd be a game changer! I'd buy swtsig a six-pack of low-carb beer or similar in celebration. Just because. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Oh well, stupid inquiry...I was hoping for a Tuntex Sky Tower, flames and all too... I was just kidding, I mean I guess if someone didn't want to draw what it looks like (if they've seen a rendering), they might use Legos...

MikeRichardson Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Micro Center has its new location off Westpark. No need for tears. Have you actually tried going to said location? First I cried, then I wanted to kill myself. They have one combined entrance/exit to the parking lot, on South Rice. There is no turn lane, and at 4 PM the traffic stacks up. "easy to get to, less congestion" - LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeRichardson Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 drove through there today at around 4. It was crazy, but they had a traffic cop near the entrance. That's a new development. Should help relieve some of the more egregious problems. I wonder if they will (be able to) open up another entrance on Westpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I went there the first week they were open in the new location, and wound up having to go further down S. Rice, turn around, and come back to get into the parking lot. I assumed they had an entrance/exit on Westpark but didn't bother to confirm. The absence of one is insane, but even if they add one, the new location is still a much bigger PITA to get in and out of than the old one was.

mollusk Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Annnd... the one access they have also has a very steep driveway ramp, which means that some of us have to come in slowly and at an angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
por favor gracias Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Annnd... the one access they have also has a very steep driveway ramp, which means that some of us have to come in slowly and at an angle. Don't you just love those? Especially the driveways where you have to almost stop to avoid the initial bump, then up an incline...then it evens out for about a foot...and then up one more incline (just for the hell of it, I suppose) before it evens out "for good" en route to the often inclined "lanes" of the parking lot itself. Seems like that's "the standard" now. Edited November 16, 2014 by por favor gracias 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRichardson Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 There does not appear to be any kind of entrance on Westpark at all. Just the single driveway on S. Rice. Sam's Club also has this problem, although they have two driveways at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxtethogrady Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 They already have a Wal-Mart Supercenter going in next to the new Micro Center. That's overkill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
