    Wow this is a really classy building. Simple yet beautiful.

    Hey what's up with the Houston Citizens Bank & Trust building?
  3. j_cuevas713
    So I'm guessing nothing is going to be done to that tower thingy and shed warehouse in the back?
  4. j_cuevas713
    This is going to be amazing! I can't wait!
  5. j_cuevas713
    While I applaud their efforts, that new rendering sucks! Better than nothing I guess
  6. j_cuevas713
    Wow so the other building that houses the Urban League is at risk now? WTH!?

    http://billwarner.posthaven.com/a-horror-story-with-bulldozers-it-happened-in-boston-and-almost-happened-in-cambridge-somerville-and-brookline-urban-renewal-the-west-end-and-the-inner-belt-highway-i-695 It was a combo of Government Square and a new highway... either way we have no room to complain. Boston almost destroyed 1/4 of its history.

    Well I guess it's a good reason. Houston is starting to save a lot of structures now. So it seems the owner just didn't want to fork up more money to just save the building since it's such a prime piece of real estate. I'm hoping for residential in its place. Hey on the bright side nothing compares to the 1000s of buildings demolished for Government Square in Boston.

    This is extremely disappointing
  10. j_cuevas713
    Wow seriously that would be huge! Those are big names!
  11. j_cuevas713
    Umm yeah it is... my gf and I go to HoneyMoon Cafe & Bar very often and that area is always packed with people on the wknd.

    Clearly pedestrian traffic isn't suffering too bad since I see downtown pretty packed on the weekends. This issue on the homeless doesn't deter people who live in the city. The only people it bothers are cookie cutter suburbanites who think anything with grit is dangerous. You're in a city!!! Get over the homeless!!! Learn how to talk and deal with people or better yet ignore them! Stop being a scared little you know what! I'm speaking in a general sense not to you Astros148. People are going to go downtown with a reason to be there. If more stores pop up, then more people will shop downtown. I think Houstonians are pretty used to a few pan handlers.

    Actually the building doesn't look that bad
  14. j_cuevas713
    AGREE!!! What are some people thinking? smh
  15. j_cuevas713
    That's a very solid observation
  16. j_cuevas713
    Exactly, Houstonians embracing their city is really nice to see finally

    I think it's normal to have a few dead zone's. But yeah you're right things are heading in the right direction. What's even better is that Midtown and EaDo are tying in to Downtown along with the revamp of Buffalo Bayou Park. Everything is coming along nicely.

    That one shot with the rendering and Main St. in the foreground... I always wondered if shutting down Main to the Pierce elevated would be a good idea and make it all walkable.
  19. j_cuevas713
    What are you talking about!? It's an inner city neighborhood. Yes it's an urban area.
  20. j_cuevas713
    Yeah because they were supposed to make an announcement a couple of months ago and still nothing.
  21. j_cuevas713
    I doubt the hospital will close. The lack of funding is a hard blow but it seems they are going to find a way to keep the hospital operating. It's too important to the immediate area to close. If it were to close, I think another hospital would take over.

    Weren't we told that there were half a dozen retailers willing to be an anchor for this retail district? So what's up with that, who are the possible retailers?
  23. j_cuevas713
    Yeah I was about to say that as well... and besides that, so much focus is on one damn block yet we got half of the 3rd Ward, 5th Ward, and other areas that aren't getting any better and I don't see the public outcry there. My point is that this is one block that seems to stand out in Midtown, but sooner or later it will change and clean up as the city grows and gentrifies, everyone chill out already.
  24. j_cuevas713
    I walk that area every day, an it's not as bad as you claim. Not fooling myself one bit but my God get a grip. You act like every city block should be a nice clean suburb when in reality this is nothing compared to parts of Chicago or NYC.
  25. j_cuevas713
    Its really not that bad. Its a typical inner city block near a bus station.
