That is huge for the neighborhood! Why can't every development look like this one or the one off Smith? That brick is awesome!

Any word on this??? I also noticed orange pylons along the Richmond median. Are they repaving Richmond?

I gave it a rest after Saturday night, only to come back here and see people blasting my old posts on Monday morning. Sorry I haven't been to more events at DG, I guess living three hours away doesn't help. Like I said before, a simple sign, "No Reentry Tonight," would help prevent the "poor decision" of thinking I could walk away from a park and then walk back to it.

 

My bad dude, didn't mean to attack you in any way. My apologies. 

I heard a lot of visitors enjoyed the city. One guy I met from Illinois said he had heard of Houston but didn't know much about it. He was impressed with everything and he thought we had a very nice city and downtown. And a big positive was that he said he wanted to come back to Houston after the SB.

Let's all make a vow that if any one of us see's a light go out, we report it asap! I'd hate for these bridges to be neglected again. The lights are so awesome!

WOAH! THIS IS NICE!

And maybe warn people going out that they won't be able to get back in because it's getting dark and going to be bedtime soon.

 

Great day overall, just annoyed by the overmanaging.

You're annoyed by over-managing? The management was by far above world class, if that's even possible. To go a full week without incident is incredible! Just imagine if the downtown population grows to that level consistently, at least we know the city of Houston can handle it like nothing. And yeah, parks reach capacity, big freaking deal. Not too difficult to understand. It's wasn't a bad thing that park was filled to capacity. 

Does anyone have any info on the W. Alabama reconstruction? I noticed a small section redone at the W. Alabama/Milam intersection. 

This looks cool!

How any of yall think this is ugly is beyond me. Prob one of the best developments for residential.

So embarrassing smh

If we flood the Mayor with email's asking for the city to draw a tourist structure, maybe they'll work on some sort of incentive for a developer to build. Idk

The park site looks like it would need about at least 6+ more weeks to be finished IMHO. They never worked weekends so it never looked like they would finish in time for ESPN to move in. ESPN is just now starting to set up their site downtown and won't be broadcasting from there till Wednesday. I was told the on air talent is working the Pro Bowl now. 

IMHO that's ridiculous. They should have had this park ready at least a week before SB kickoff. 

Wow media day was very impressive!

Wow this is looking amazing!

Think about the amount of foot traffic that's going to flood Midtown once this is finished and the new Whole Foods on Elgin. 

Do yall remember when we had no idea when the superblock would be developed??? Now look at us lol

right. how many miles of rail would this 6 billion project make?

Something isn't right with that organization. They seem so out of touch with what's going on in urban environments and what people want. Clearly it's politics and money, but it's so damn frustrating. 

I wonder how big of an idiot Ric Campo feels like knowing that ESPN is no longer going to showcase his development as their backdrop. 

Why can't TxDot fund a commuter rail system? I really have no clue why they are persistent with roads! I just don't understand why a regional transit solution only involves laying concrete for more cars.

Be sure to let us know how that works out for you.

Omg is it possible this might finish before the Super Bowl!?!? 

And overall it's better to go ahead and clear the land because those apartments were falling apart. In time this project will take off.

Not sure how tearing down an existed structure and replacing it with another is infill when downtown has dozens of entirely empty parcels. 

 

The Houston Club wasn't great, but it was an example of mid 1900s architecture which we lack in this town. 

The building was falling apart from reports. How much of that is true idk, but if they were having serious issues then I can see where the building wasn't worth saving. 

I'm so happy this is finally happening. Between this and the new Midtown park, there is going to be a ton of foot traffic in Midtown.
