Did you copy that part?

Fire Kubiak

People don't usually stay at jobs for long periods of time now (4 years or something?).  Buying a house close to a business center that you have no idea whether you will work at in 4 years could be considered a bad idea.  Living in the loop hedges your bet.

Subdude, however depressingly, probably nailed it.

Bubba's is fantastic.

Livincinco hates being inside the loop.

I heard that from an employee of Camden in another midtown complex.  No clue if that has changed.

I've heard first quarter 2014.

The view directly opposite of this is really impressive, I walked by it yesterday but didn't even think to take a picture. My bad.

Auditor

Just came back from there, the Chong burger with the marmalade added on was great.

So far nobody at my firm has heard anything about it, so I guess they aren't telling tenants anything yet.

I work in 1 Allen.  Will see if I can find anything out.

I couldn't find anything on this and just read about it this morning.

That article on the Fire Museum's plans says that they are selling the land to Alexan.

"Money for those improvements should come from a pending sale of the museum's planned building site, a 1.44-acre tract at Main and Hadley for apartment development.

M. Scot Davis of Trammell Crow Residential said the high-end project, Alexan Midtown, will have five stories of apartments atop two levels of parking. Davis said the average 850-square-foot unit will lease for about $1,700 a month.

Sale of property is to close on Monday, Davis said. Construction of the 215-unit complex should begin in January, with the first units ready for occupancy in early 2015."

All for Case. I wish he came in after the bye week as he had zero practice time with the starters, but I will take it.

It looks very nice, but I'm curious who is tasked with maintaining it this way?  I've seen countless nice landscaping projects go downhill because there was no long-term commitment to maintain them.

 

I'm sure this is a dig on the project for not being in the burbs, but I agree.  I live here and love this area but hope that it doesn't go to hell.  They are already being treated as trash cans.

Much better looking picture

I would assume they are going to have to raise the crane up sometime in the next week.

Using the elevators in developments like this is usually not awesome. If the hallway is open and not air conditioned, the elevator turns into a sauna. They are great for moving. They suck for everyday use. Skybridge is the right call.

Those are fantastic.  That oak is huge.  I was just reading that the hanging oak at the corner of Bagby and Rusk was Houston's oldest oak at 400 years, but this one looks way larger.  

Por favor stop being lame.

Seems like a large proportion of the crimes I have been hearing of lately are being committed by 12 - 14 year old kids. Most of the recent uptick in midtown crimes were apparently 13 year old kids.  A pair of them tried to wave me down which is when I actually realized how young a 12 year old kid really is.  It must be really crappy to get robbed by a child.  To be honest there is much more of a chance I get shot if a 12 year old rolls up on me with a gun.  I would be quick to hand over a cell phone or whatever to anybody holding a gun in my face, but I would be much more inclined to punch said robber in the face if he weighed 95 pounds.  I will let you all know soon how a bullet to the ribs feels. Architecture.

I was disappointed to hear that the original brick was in a state of disrepair. I began to worry about the finished product but this thing already looks much better than before the renovation. Fan.

I thought there was a desire to have this finished by the next final four. Twenty-six months from Q4 sounds accurate for that timetable.

You may have just won best post ever status.
