If this is the right store, they sell womens activewear.
We are going to have alot of clothing stores when this place is built.

How is naming it SoDo helping the neighborhood? It is just a stupid rip off NY. Also Midtown is already a new name.
-
^ Yeah, like major announcment on what? like is it for the Pavilion? Or something else in Houston?
Hmm, well this thread is on Pavillions so...
Perhaps he works for a company involved and he can't give any more information than that.

I wonder what they did with my email, then. I never received any response at all. These people clearly have their heads up their asses.
They didn't respond to me either. I guess they just ignored it. To busy trying to be "original"

I'm sure The Dome the means to lock people out. But, can they lock people in as well?
I sure hope so.
As red and nmain said what do you mean by this?? Its not like they are shipping all of the looters to Houston.

When I was in high school, when someone would say that they knew someone who went to Rice University, other people would automatically say: "He/she must be smart."
What are you saying exactly? Most people still have to be very smart to get into rice.

I really want Houston to succeed, but I do not think Philip Johnson would decry zoning. How is Houston more unique by having suburbs extending 50 miles away and 16 lane highways and traffic all hours of the day because you have to drive everywhere.

Zoning doesn't stop freeways or sprawl by the way. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but once you get out of the zoning the city cannot have zoning regulations there.
Personally, I can't say I'm exactly for zoning, however I look at the city's number one tourist attraction. It is in the most prestigous shopping area in the region. People literally come from other countries to Houston specifically to shop in this area. It is known across the world. It is Houston's hip stylish beauty mark. And right at the entrance of the 'Rodeo Drive of Texas', is a BIG OL' RED ZONE D' EROTICA SIGN. Folks, despite any argument that anyone makes on how awesome it is to have it there and how it shows how Houston is different from other cities, this is not something to be proud of, and our residents need to begin to understand WHY this sort of thing isn't cool.With zoning that area would likely be nothing more than a mall, and the original neighborhoods. Zoning would not have allowed 901 foot tall towers to be built in the area. Also regarding signs. Our own no zone downtown has a ban on signs over a certain height. Only a couple government funded or historical buildings have gotten away with having high signage. The other exception is continental and they only were allowed that because they took up a majority of the building and it is only lights.

Frank LLoyd Wright accepted the AIA gold medal at the Shamrock in 1949. Upon arriving for the ceremony he commented, " I see the sham, where's the rock?" Thank who-ever for tearing down one of the most grotesque pieces of architecture ever built anywhere.
You have to be kidding me, "one of the most grotesque pieces of architecture ever built anywhere". I mean it wasn't the prettiest building in the world, but I kind of liked it. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I have to admit though I am not a fan of alot of Wright's work. There is some I like though.

If anyone cares on channel 16 (TWC) I believe they are talking to the city council about Pavillions.

Beck's Prime is in the golf course clubhouse. It does a pretty good business when the weather is nice. There is a smoothie shop by the tennis courts as well.
That is why I said "in" I figured there was something at the golf course, but it is not like the DT park where there are places truly in the park. But then again people will probably be going into the park, compared to Memorial where alot is thick forest. Many people do not go in, but rather stick to the jogging trails. Or they go to the areas that have benches or a trail and stuff.

Good news except for...
A new program may commence to call our neighborhood "SoDo" (pronounced "SoDoe"), as in South-of-Downtown.And I thought SoHo was NY not HoDo.

This just made me think about something. Is there a resturant in Memorial Park?
I don't think so. At least not really "in" the park. Memorial has always like more of a nature preserve than a standard urban park to me.

Check out Laguarda Low's website. They have old renderings of the Pavilions...
Cool renderings. I had not seen these before. They are pretty close up and detailed compared to the older renderings. But they do appear to be of the old design.
-
Another example of one we don't get, but we have thousands of employees is Shell, they are not even an American company though (plus HQ is in the Hague I think) so it isn't on fortune 500.

Warrenville, Illinois I believe.

The main building?
Yes, it seems by that there will be a few entrances from the street and then the shops may be inside. But it may be different in reality.
-
I wonder why this isn't big news? It seems that a two thirty something tall buildings would be known. I just found out about it today. And I am so happy to here this!
Well It has been on here since early June, the chron is just a little slow.
-
They added some more renderings to the philips dev. site. Also mosaic has a site which I don't think has been posted yet.
-
Just wondering did your wife see anything else on the sign? LIke a rendering or any info? Or did it just say Urban Lofts coming soon, or something like that? I will try to head over there in a few days.

Duplicate.

And I think that info is wrong. It is like 34 stories and 45,000 square feet of retail.

It will probably fill the skyline in a little bit, but it won't change it most likely.

I saw that, I looks like they are going to expand the project along Main St. by one block.
Hmm I didn't see that, I will look for it in a sec. So is it now going to be on four blocks? Is that what you are saying?
