  1. Now that my friends is a city we should be proud as hell of!!!
  2. Weren't we supposed to already get word of what retailer will be the anchor all of this development?
  3. You do realize that all the other locations have done extremely well? And it's not just about sports, but good food at a good price, a place to go have a good beer, and that's not all... think about all the events this place has throughout the year along with karaoke
  4. Wow, I wonder how they will change. They are probably going to be larger.
  5. I like "tram"..... Plus I am really excited to see so many students taking the tram around the city. Plus there are so many more people walking around after hours downtown
  6. Man I always wonder what Houston would be like if we had all of those buildings in the Galleria in Downtown. Our skyline would be awesome! BUT I think Houston is unique in how it's laid out. I love how Uptown is developing. I'm excited for the dedicated bus lanes.
  7. Man if this side of downtown can fill in we could really get a nice connection going between Minute Maid and the Historic District
  8. I don't know if you can ever compare any city to the next. Yeah Wrigleyville has a lot of small brick buildings and a cool atmosphere, but you also can't take away from how much potential the area around Minute Maid has. Texas Ave is only one street compared to the back side of the ballpark which has so much potential to be a more vibrant area because of the older buildings. I think that side of downtown needs a few midrise apartments and a few more Catalyst style developments.
  9. You gotta call things what they are lol
  10. I thought the dedicated turning lane was on the tracks themselves
  11. I love that Root Sports has their studio there along with some cool adult play spots like House of Blues and Lucky Strike. I think the hotel is going to drive retail, it almost has to. People who stay there are going to want to shop and play conveniently. As of right now there is a solid foundation of development to build on. It makes me wonder that if enough retail and development happens downtown, could Houston become a nice little destination city?
  12. I walked through here Sunday night and forgot to take pics. I'm surprised Forever 21 is still alive. After walking through the complex I feel GreenStreet has so much potential.
  13. You know I just barely noticed that yesterday in the Museum District. I think it comes down to just being aware of where you are. Turning left when the train in going both directions isn't allowed but it makes sense that if a train is going the same direction as traffic, then it comes down to just making sure a train isn't coming before turning. Overall that's just my guess. I'm going to contact Metro and ask.
  14. Yesterday at Christians Tailgate. This is way nicer than I thought it would be. 20150907_181006 20150907_180932 20150907_191038 20150907_180916
  15. I really think the complaint about the climate is getting old. I do agree with you though 100%. The culture is changing in certain areas of the city. Mainly in the older parts of the city, like from downtown to the TMC. Most of that area is completely walkable. My gf and I walk that area all the time. With the changes being made to Post Oak, I think the area will become way more walkable.
  16. This is has been the city planning that's been lacking to develop the retail needed downtown. Now that its happening, we should begin to see soft goods pop up soon.
  17. Yeah you really don't know what you're talking about. The entire plan for retail downtown is already in the works with a major retailer planned for the Sakowitz building. That's why they are upgrading the sidewalks and creating a shopping district.
  18. I walk 3 blocks to the nearest station before and after work and it's not even a long walk.
