    It was good. A little overhyped, but it was waaaay better than in and out.

    I know most of y'all think the MC skyline is tacky, but I love the consistency and visibility of their skyline. I would love if Uptown was the skyline with the blue lights.

    Excuse my inner fan boy, but this building is going to look AMAZING! I don't mean to be dramatic, but I got chills when I was driving down 610 looking at it! This will definitely stand out! I'm loving how that side of 610 is getting built out! Interested to see what's going to go on tha empty grassy lot not too far from hotel Derek off the freeway. fyi, that sun's reflection on this building will be magical!

    Side note, I thought it would make more sense for it to be next to the other ones. I know that Duo has closed. And there's still that empty lot next to that animal place and that corner store (which I think should be gone)

    I don't know where else to post this. But I didn't realize that Houston was getting a Crossroads consignment store! I love the resale shops on Westheimer. I was wondering when was this going to open and also, I looked it up on Google maps and it's showing an address of 3217 Montrose. Which is that building they're renovating next to the smoothie king.

    I didn't get a good picture as I was driving to the galleria. I was going to snap a better picture when I was on my way back home, but the lights were off by that time.

    Check out the light show tonight! Just drove by and there's this weird Y chromosome lighting on the building! Houston's finally getting some towers that will brighten its skyline!

    I don't see it. My brother lived there last year. His place was broken into twice within the first month of him living there. This area is VERY rough! A lot of the apartments on Broadway (the former/current viet apts) have gone downhill and are home to drug dealers and prostitutes. Trust me, I have family that lived around there. I keep up with Houston news and last year it seemed every assault crime happened on Broadway. I'm all for development in this city, but the character of this neighborhood has to change. I doubt development like this will change it. Demolishing every single apartment on that street will!

    Zara is opening a third location in baybrook mall!

    @HTown Man true! I often times compare Uptown Dallas to Midtown Houston because I feel that they are the most urban parts of the city. I think Midtown should add more national retail stores that will attract people (think a development like West Village in Dallas). Because I remember when I used to live in Denton, me and my friends would drive almost an hour just to have dinner in west vil. My FAVORITE part of midtown (and one of my favorites in the whole city) is that bagby/west gray Post development. I love how urban, inviting, pedestrian friendly and landscaped it is. I don't think Midtown is that far behind, but like u said, the development is scattered throughout that neighborhood. They have to get rid of the few remaining pieces of riff raff (greyhound station/that ghetto mcdonalds) and add more destination type developments.

    Tillman is planning a hotel in that space next to their headquarters. I believe there is a topic somewhere on here mentioning that space. Merge if needed. http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2015/04/25262/#32380101=0

    I just know recent black gay clubs: Houston Club 2020 Bayou city bar and grill (some nights) I think Grooves once had a gay night (or some other club in third ward) XL (it was a short lived bar/club that recently closed Dallas Elm and Pearl Havana (some nights) Brick

    WOW!!!! Never would I have even considered moving to 3rd ward a decade ago! Maybe it's the young adult in me, but There should definitely be a 'bar row' street in 3rd Ward. I can see them being lined up along the rail.

    That's going to be an apartment. That used to be the parking lot to the Cafe Adobe that they demolished.

    So I'm back home here in Houston visiting family and this building is going to be MASSIVE!!! I don't know if it's halfway done or just a little over, but if you double its size, I would go on and say that it will be the Transco of Greenway Plaza. (Even though it's technically not in GP). I damn near caused a wreck admiring its beauty. This is the reason why I usally park my car at a friend's and have them drive me around when I visit. Also, as I was enjoying my birthday weekend here, I noticed- HOUSTON HAS GROWN!!! Where are all of these people coming from? I asked my friends if there was some convention going on that weekend or something. Excuse the excessive use of capitilizaed letters and exclamations, I just LOVE THIS CITY!!!

    I live in Dallas now and they're slowly losing tenants. Saks just left and Nordstrom's days are numbered. They're replacing Saks with a Belks. As mentioned above, the outside is really nice. The neighborhood surrounding the mall is getting worse and it battles competition from its neighbors to the north and NorthPark to the south of it. Side note: I cant wait to move back to Houston. (sigh)

    I might be the only one on this forum that loves the Memorial City skyline.

    They should really gut that strip center. That's prime real estate. A mini CityCentre would fit that area.

    Don't mean to resurrect an old thread, but I went back to Houston (born and raised there, but moved to Dallas for college) and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the buildings looks at night! I didn't know they lit up like that. The blue is very different and unique. For the 4th of July, the lights were red, white and blue. I passed by Memorial City every day, nearly, because my friend lives in Westchase. I love how the city is growing and inly getting better. It's VERY evident that Houston is the new hot city!

    Well, on June 3-6th they're planning on inviting local graffiti artists to work their magic on the center. It should be pretty cool. Here's what they have to say: "While there are those that want to paint the town red, others prefer to use the entire spectrum of colors! Such will be the case at GreenStreet as the popular downtown dining and entertainment center prepares to experience a metamorphosis of color during GreenStreet Graffiti, a special artistic event held onsite, June 3 – 6. Come see art-in-the-making when local graffiti artists, Gabriel Prusmack, Kelyne Reis, Wiley Robertson and the acclaimed Aerosol Warefare Gallery’s GONZO247, transform the property’s monochromatic walls into a vibrant mix of bold colors and graphic art! Throughout the four-day event, art aficionados and downtown hipsters are encouraged to stop by and interact with the artists as they work. And just as the last puff of aerosol is applied, the entire community will be invited back onsite for a special unveiling party filled with festive music and free entertainment, Thursday, June 6 from 5 – 8 p.m." Link: Facebook Event

    How did this one turn out? Last time I was in Houston, I had to exit, make a u-turn and drive back around just to admire it! That was back in mid-February! Aside from large multi-use developments (CityCentre, River Oaks District, BLVD Place, etc) and high rises, developments off the freeway are my favorites! It helps with the character of a city.
