    Such a great block with great urban infill.
  2. j_cuevas713
    Yeah I love this part of town and how walkable it is.
  3. j_cuevas713
    That's my only concern. Has this shopping center been put on any sort of preservation list?

    Old thread but I live right next to this area and wish they would keep it as a shopping center. This area has some good walkablity.

    Nice, thank you for the update. From what I remember, this project is like a 10 year plan. Sucks cause I'll be 40 by then lol

    http://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/editorials/article/Changing-streets-11177181.php Great article on the rebuild of Lower Westheimer. What I don't understand is West Alabama was expected to start reconstruction in late 2016, already fully funded, and nothing has happened yet. And with these new designs for Lower Westheimer, my concern is when are any of these actually going to begin? Both are fully funded and so I don't understand the delay or lack of urgency from the city or local TIRZ districts. From the article, "For too long, the city has lagged behind private developers in building cityscapes at the scale of a person." With all the new development happening around us, the thing that's keeping many of these new developments from flowing together is better infrastructure. Does anyone have any additional info on this?

    So where is this development at with the overall build? I haven't been in this area in a while. I know it's being done in phases but what phase is this on? Really excited to see this city become so damn urban.
  12. j_cuevas713
    True, good point.

    So you're telling me if the car hadn't been produced, White Flight wouldn't have happened? I doubt it. It definitely helped push people further away from the core, but Houston was already experiencing a form of White Flight in it's early days.
  14. j_cuevas713
    Actually it wasn't the automobile specifically that pushed people from the city core, it was White Flight. The car was an accessory to this movement but not the cause.
  15. j_cuevas713
    I like it tbh
  16. j_cuevas713
    You said this waaay better than I was about to lol
  17. j_cuevas713
    Lol what!? You have to be joking
  18. j_cuevas713
    THIS IS AMAZING!
  19. j_cuevas713
    Very nice animation.
  20. j_cuevas713
    So what exactly is the city of Houston's planning and development dept doing?
  21. j_cuevas713
    It just seems that entire Uptown area is getting a major overhaul. You have the Galleria expansion, Post Oak Blvd project, Uptown Park redevelopment, a number of new highrises in the area, and now there is talk about redeveloping the strip centers in to mixed use development. The next 5 years will brings lots of very good change.
  22. j_cuevas713
    Will this be a walkable center or similar to that shopping center at the corner of Canal?
  23. j_cuevas713
    With the new Whole Foods Midtown and this new grocer on the East End, these two spots should lure further development.
  24. j_cuevas713
    When does reconstruction of West Alabama start because the corner of the building has a very nice pedestrian crosswalk? I'm just ready for the whole damn street to look the same. Great project.
  25. j_cuevas713
    YES!!!!!!! I noticed this weekend that business seemed no existent. Great news!!! Place was a dump!
