Citykid09 already started a similar thread.

Please stop with the repeats and use his please.

Those aren't renderings, moron.

well if you lock a topic, and only post the pictures so people can't have discussion it would work

That was the idea.

I think the system we have now works better, where there are topics for both words and pictures about individual projects. If there were a topic devoted to pictures it would inevitably include discussion about the projects, and that would just end up replicating existing threads in a more confusing format. Second, picture-intense topics are difficult to pull up for dial-up users.

What's dial-up?

One Park Place

Houston Pavilions (renderings not yet updated)

I thought it'd be a good idea to have all da eye candy in one thread instead of switching from thread to thread to see the renderings. Maybe a mod (*coughsubdudecough*) can help me out wit this.

Which one of you "contributed"

THIS?

Books-a-million, Forever 21

They might as well have put in a Half Price Books and Marshalls.

Houston will never get it right.

The grackle will survive. Don't worry about them, you should be more concerned about the fate of the human race...

FEAR THE GRACKLE!!!

Do you think the homeless eat grackle?

Who's got access to that BBQ?

Good riddance. She, like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, showed you could have money and still be white trash.

Trust me, as a resident of downtown, I want this project to happen as bad as anybody.

Got an e-mail back from a rep of HP this evening. It stated that the HP will break ground on 02-05-07 and will be completed in time for the holiday season of '08 (approx. Oct.) Seriously this project is a go! When you are dealing with 200 million dollars every detail needs to be completed before any construction will start. Why are so many here still crying and focusing on the Shamrock? Their has been dozens of impressive projects completed and started since Shamrock was announced.

Hey 77017: Do you have any theories about why a dead project would be seeking construction permits from the city? (and, ironically, being granted those permits on the very day you made the quoted post...) Maybe you should take your own advice and "read more, post less".

I guess the developer, the city council, the general contractor, and the architecture firm are also among those who are "dopes who don't know this project's dead". Not to mention House of Blues, Lawry's The Prime Rib, Lucky Strike, etc etc.

Then what?

No, 2/5/07 is actually just the date they will push the date back again.

Now when 2/5 rolls around and nothin' happens, watch all the dopes who don't know this project's dead say "Awww man, well don't worry its still gonna happen"

Some groundbreaking.

Okay how about university @ Main? Seems like two of those blocks are seeing quit a bit of activity.

And Gray @ Caroline. They're finally tearin down that big blue warehouse where the medical towers are supposed to go up.

I'll be holding my breath-hanging on your every word.

You say as you reply to all his posts

^^^ My point exactly!!

Now when 2/5 rolls around and nothin' happens, watch all the dopes who don't know this project's dead say "Awww man, well don't worry its still gonna happen"

From "Complex01" Posted on SSP, Texas & South Central Section:

Can anyone confirm this?

No, 2/5/07 is actually just the date they will push the date back again.

Part of the problem is that people have become way too comfortable in just saying Southwest Houston, when they need to be more specific. Is it Fondren Southwest? Sharpstown? Meyerland? Where? That alone would give people a better feel for the trouble spots and it might heighten awareness on what problems are specific to those areas.

Then what?

I noticed that there is a stack of chain-link fencing

Wow, you mean like the fencing they put up around the Shamrock lot 5 years ago?

He's saying you can look on the net just as everyone else can instead of adding unnecessary posts.

You got to remember lockmat that 77017 said that a forum ran out of Chicago will never work.

Links?

This site says they already had the groundbreaking

Read more. Post less.

Is Honolulu over 500,000?

2004 estimate is 377,260 but f*** it, is it unbelievable over there?

What do you think? In terms of major (500,000+ pop.) cities?
