    Yeah this isn't good news. I hope they fill the spot soon.

    So commuters will be required to take the Green Line all the way down to the last station to get to this location. It's really not a bad consolidation of services and an upgrade for both neighborhoods.

    I think what's really great about the Warehouse District finally getting some love, is the fact that these little buildings that were long overlooked are being saved. Obviously this is a trend we've been seeing in this city for a long time now but it's just nice to see many of the original buildings from the turn of the century still around. And it really opens up the possibilities for the Warehouse District as a whole extending it further east.

    The projects keep getting better. This side of the city is going to look so techy and industrial from East River all the way through EaDo.

    The Astros aren't looking at those developments without considering the environment they play in. They're also looking at St Louis which is more urban. The idea is to get a feel for what to incorporate in to the development. I expect it to blend well with MMP. I just expected a much larger plan to be unveiled.

    Nah I don't think that's fair. While a lot of people come in to the city from the burbs, many inner city Houstonians still frequent the businesses around the ballpark when those outsiders aren't here. I think what's been leaked is a good example of how the Astros front office operates as a whole. Jim Crane talks big, does very little, and moves at a snails pace. My expectation after all this time was to at least see renderings for the northern side of the ballpark along with the old Home Plate location. If all we're getting in the next 3 years is one little building, then that's extremely disappointing. Crane has said in the past that he's waiting for the NHHIP project to finish before he'll consider redeveloping the eastern side of the ballpark. If he's waiting for all of that to finish, then this is going to be a long slow process.

    This new tower helped tie this side of Downtown together aesthetically

    When he said "That's where you applaud." 😂

    Wow even that development isn't very old to be torn down

    While I feel like this is a major loss for EaDo, it's also a great addition to Midtown. I'm guessing they already know St Emanuel is eventually going to turn in to a racetrack after the 45 realignment.

    Yeah and that place stays busy till closing. We have some very wealthy folks in this town.
  12. j_cuevas713
    Duh, my bad. Thanks
  13. j_cuevas713
    Wait so is Flying Saucer closing?

    I'm ready for Phase II

    Actually that whole area by Christ Church Cathederal / Cash Register Building has many buildings that could be reurposed. Many have lawyers or bail bondsmen in them but a few bars for the area would make the area feel much more connected. Not to mention the homeless constantly trashing the neighborhood. My biggest issue is this isn't starting till November 2024!?!? So we have to wait another year before anything even starts?

    NHHIP?

    This is a very creative way to help support local vendors. I like the idea of each small business getting the opportunity to set up shop in a larger space inside POST. If this is successful, POST will take off. We could see major names like Apple or Google open up shop at some point.

    That's actually great news! Downtown needs a comedy club bad. I'm surprised The Houston Improv hasn't moved Downtown yet.

    It wasn't meant to be a tour guide video but an unbiased view from someone who is very well known in the world of building strong cities. In my opinion Houston doesn't need to toot it's own horn, it needs to continue building smarter. From there people will see how great the city is. But when you have poor sidewalks in Midtown right adjacent to Downtown, people are going to focus on the bad before the good. He was brutally honest which is good. The Astros jabs were all in fun, nothing to take seriously. The bigger point is that Ray really liked Houston and praised the city for it's efforts. He also understood the battle between the city and region. It was great he covered Prob B. I see the effort passing pretty easily. A lot of people in Houston have been scratching their head for decades wondering why certain things are being done that they don't want.

    Great video!

    And what sucks is this part of Downtown has some nice charm but it's trashed half the time
  22. j_cuevas713
    I expect more retail to fill in the little old buildings once this goes up. This part of downtown has so much potential.
  23. j_cuevas713
    The city needs to go ahead and demo that ugly ass bank across the street
  24. j_cuevas713
    Yeah Morgan Group will def fill the space soon. I don't expect this to stay vacant long. A Target would be perfect

    I mean there isn’t one single variable at play here. Young people are moving to cities that they can walk and take transit. That’s also a pattern that’s been increasing even before the pandemic.
