    I'd prefer they put something they will maintain. The galleria 610 is beautiful and this stretch looks bad to me. It's my opinion, I didn't say it was right but I'm entitled to it

    Houston's affluent population is growing and pretty rapidly. I agree they also grow by annexation but this city doesn't need to in order to survive. It's a luxury

    Of a very poor quality. (And, however you did your smiley emoticon thing)

    This is so important with how hot and dry we get in the summer but almost nobody keeps their foundation wet.

    I maintain it looks atrocious. The vegetation is half dead and completely neglected.

    Jack in the box is on shepherd. I think this will be replacing an old Spanish style lowrise office building a block south of Washington on Waugh. I could be wrong, but that lot seems large enough for this development. They boast uninstructed views, but the sterling bank building could be a problem there

    When does TXDOT give up on the stupid vegetation on 59 and start over? It looks atrocious driving through there. There are trees growing out of what should be crawlers up the freeway.

    That's been fenced off and boarded up that way for a long time.

    This thread popped up out of the blue. Is there something going here?

    The truth is it'll probably not be anything other than a grand idea

    To answer the OP. I've always thought around Westheimer/Montrose. That would require some major street planning to make it happen, but I feel like that area wants to be more walkable as it is, and a walkable development would do very well there.

    Garage/Hut, what's the difference

    How were you guys so lucky to score Astros tickets?

    I have hard time believing they would approve the tree transplant to begin with. But as someone who deals with Exxon a lot, if they do decide to go forward on a project, it will most definitely cost five times as much as a smaller/leaner organization could do it. They are known for redundancy (over engineering) and gold-plating projects. They are very large, and projects reflect that.

    There you go

    Is the chevron tower confirmed at 58? I thought it was more like 50

    When heritage plaza made a tunnel connection to the garage they open trenched it. I drove over big iron plate for a long time

    I like the Texas culture and make no apologies. I hunt, like BBQ, and own a pair of boots. We have the largest rodeo and livestock show and its kind of awesome. If that embarrasses some of you, then not my problem. Maybe you shouldn't worry about what people in other towns think. Oftentimes the "enlightened" ones are the most narrow-minded anyway.

    I did it once. The flight was cheaper from HOU-IAH-CLE instead of direct IAH-CLE. It took about twenty minutes. This was about fifteen years ago. When I asked why they had the flight I was told something about logging hours but I'm not sure if that was right.

    Midtown Houston vs uptown Dallas seem like odd comparisons

    It's very near canal street

    I know an XOM engineer being moved to ...Tyler and its a good career move. I know another that recently moved to Brussels. I suspect some will leave the company but I don't think XOM is worried if that's what you're implying.

    Unfortunately I see grown adults texting on I-10 every day on the way to/from work. I wish they made a device I could put in my kids cars that disabled text function and only allowed phone calls to certain people and emergency numbers.

    Don't use this forum as your window to the world. The Exxon campus is literally the big thing around town everyone is talking about. It's going to change Houston (populations) for better or worse.
