Im going to stop by the leasing off tomorrow and get information on the rent prices. I know they were starting off at 1700 but im curious to see if they have dipped at all due to the market. 

still looking forward to your haif pool party!

Earlier, headed south on main I intended to take the Holcombe mini exit, but that section of  mini feeder was closed with some heavy equipment doing some work on the road in front of this site while the parking lot seemed full of buses.

Construction will begin soon on a new office building and parking garage south of Allen Center.

Kathy Jones, associate vice president for Facilities Engineering and Planning, presented an overview of the project at the Dec. 8 Administrators Forum.

The six-story, 66,710-gross-square-foot office building will house up to 295 work spaces, depending on office layouts. The design calls for terra-cotta fins on the exterior of the building’s concrete frame to control the amount of natural light into offices. The building will be located parallel to the road that connects Entrance 3 to College Way/Loop Road.

The east side of the office building will attach to a seven-level, 159,500-gross-square-foot parking garage. The garage will accommodate 496 parking spaces – a net gain of 382 spaces after accounting for current parking spaces in Lovett Lot that will be overtaken by the office building and garage. Fig leaf images will be displayed on huge plastic scrims that will attach to the sides of the garage.

Starting Dec. 21, parking will no longer be permitted in the Lovett Lot south of Allen Center and the Cohen House. Entrance 3 to the campus at the intersection of Main and Cambridge streets will also be closed. The road between Entrance 3 and College Way will be closed too, except to emergency vehicles. - See more at: http://news.rice.edu/2015/12/11/new-office-building-parking-garage-to-be-constructed/#sthash.TDlV4LRx.dpuf

Jones said Entrance 3 will be redone to improve the flow of traffic in that area of campus. While Entrance 3 is closed, the South College parking lot can be accessed only from Entrance 4 on Main Street. The sidewalk from College Way to Entrance 3 will remain open for pedestrians.

Jones said the garage is expected to be completed by the beginning of summer 2017; the office building should be completed by the end of summer 2017. During the construction phase, employees who have been parking in the south Lovett Lot will park in other campus lots through arrangements made by the Parking Office.

Looks like this area is fenced off with one of those pavement stripping machines on site.

Does this project have retail? If so do we know the square footage? Sorry, I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere but don't feel like scrolling through 98 pages haha!

500k for 1700 feet of sidewalk? Does it really cost $300 per foot for sidewalks?

According to this sidewalk cost calculator i found with google, thats crazy talk.

Production credit used for many of the films written/produced/directed by the Archers (Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger). The greatest British filmmakers who ever lived. 

I see this avatar used by a member on IMDB that always posts on 'The Red Shoes' board. I wondered if it was you.

Meiko Kaji in a promotional poster for Female Prisoner: Scorpion. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0226872/  

The best trilogy in the history of cinema. Also a little better than her role in the more popular Lady Snowblood.

Couldn't they make it free for residents of sector#6, kinda like the Texas city dike?

that way it's a win-win.

Is Houston the skybridge capital of the world? serious question.

Hmmm... You're right.  I guess "preview" isn't really necessary anymore since the text editor is fully WYSIWYG.  Before it was kind of a hybrid because not all browsers could handle the advanced features.  But time marches on and those old browser versions are pretty much dead.

I forget what used to be in "more reply options."  Is there a particular function you miss?  

Now that I think about it I can't even remember why I ever used it.

One little thing, I don't see the post number in the corner of the posts. I kinda like the little reminder to just where I am in a thread.

I love the unread content and Activity functionality.

^^^ drones R us.... well done larry...

thanks. Creeping strangers social media accounts is a skill I'm proud of.

just chose a random tweet to see if we could embed tweets.

just need the view new content button.

also no preview post/ more reply options?

I for one don't hate it. I love being reminded of my trapper keeper from fourth grade

And of the recurring amoebas from my favorite cartoonist
