editor Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 By now those of you who care about these things have noticed that KLDE Tower is the highest user rank on HAIF.Well, not anymore.I've added a new one: "Partisan." Yes, it sounds strange. I took it from part of an article in the Lincoln, Nebraska Journal Star which reads:www.houstonarchitecture.info, a site run by a group of Houston partisans who seem to know everything that’s going on in the area, has informative discussions about all of the Space City’s varied neighborhoods.The new rank is achieved at 2,500 posts.

Montrose1100 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Do you have a link to the article? Or is it just from you reading it? Do we get to ad them to our list of media outlets? edit: Redscare will soon hit 'Jesus Christ Superstar' status when he hits 5,000 posts. While I only remain at 'Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must've been reading the Dallas/Houston topics.We have a lot of potential in expanding the post milestone names. Have you considered adding maybe neighborhoods once the building list has been exhausted? Maybe 100K posts would get you River Oaks or something. Or even streets, sort of like a gran prix tour starting on one street and meandering through the city with stops along the way ending up at....? We did start out at Smith Street but ending at the KLDE tower is a little underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't even quite sure what the KLDE Tower was until, while listening to the radio this morning on my way to work, KLDE did a station ID and it clicked for me.

Jeebus Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'd like to see the squares expanded too, as well as more locations. As texastrill suggested, how about more Houston unique places & landmarks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 One thing I did at my site that editor might consider is is at in a district after the tallest radio tower in Atlanta. After the WAGA Radio Tower, members go to the Perimeter Center (sort of like Westchase), Midtown Atlanta, Buckhead Atlanta, and Downtown Atlanta. I did this by the height of each building added together for each district. Then, my users go to Mayor of Atlanta, then the last ranking that I have so far, the King of Atlanta. A King of Houston ranking would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'm reluctant to go with neighborhoods or streets because people's opinions vary. We can probably all agree that Downtown, River Oaks, and Tanglethingy are high ranking areas. But is The Heights better than Monstrose? Depends on who you ask.
