  1. Very significant project for the area. Really great to see the quick work done on this. Now...if they’d just get the nightmare of the Navigation/Jensen & Navigation/Canal intersections dealt with.
  2. A big missing link has been the spans crossing I-10. Perhaps they have been waiting for the finalized I-45 realignment design? I don't know... Anyway, they have recently restarted work on foundation of the set of pylons on the south side of I-10.
  3. Maybe it's because Ellington IS a Licensed Spaceport. https://www.faa.gov/news/fact_sheets/news_story.cfm?newsId=19074 QTE from FAA Site: Spaceports The FAA licenses commercial launch and reentry sites in the United States. The following are FAA currently licensed launch sites: – California Spaceport, CA – Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, FL – Cape Canaveral Spaceport/Shuttle Landing Facility, FL – Cecil Field, FL – Colorado Air & Space Port, CO – Ellington Airport, TX – Midland International Airport, TX – Mojave Air and Space Port, CA – Oklahoma Air and Space Ports, OK – Pacific Spaceport Complex Alaska, AK – Spaceport America, NM – Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, VA
  4. I thought I'd lost my zebra forever. Thanks G&G.
  5. ^^ Better place to put the water than in the surrounding homes and businesses.
  6. Wow. That's a lot of Parking. Good Sign for the size and scope of the overall development plan.
  7. The Wreckers are hawk-like in this neighborhood. Always have been. Interior of Postino looks great. Glad they realize, appreciate and commemorate the neighborhood that they are in.
  8. Iah77 - You have a general beef Something, that’s apparent. But your anger and frustration with BBP is way misplaced, buddy. You are tying BBP and development/ redevelopment of the bayou into parkland and public spaces in with things it has absolutely nothing to do with (taxes, housing...). Actually, had you attended many any of the multiple meeting which BBP has hosted in these poor area in the east end (2 ward, 5 ward...) you would actually learn that they are very concerned about the impact on the surrounding neighborhoods, and are incorporating plans based greatly on input for these communities. What’s with these conspiracies?
  9. Texas911, It’s not just an educational facility, it also will serve the community as healthcare center. I’m very sure the administration considered multiple location options. Makes sense to keep the school somewhat removed so that it doesn’t get bogged down in traffic, for people who are just seeking care. To call the location just “dumb” doesn’t make you sound very considerate.
  10. Rarely are BRT buses just a reassigned city bus. The ones I’ve seen and risen on are usually designed with multiple sliding doors (like LR), articulated (like LR), board from raised platforms(also like Light Rail), which are on the same plain as the floor of the bus and fared like MertoRail is. All for faster, more efficient loading and unloading.
  11. No Small Development. 830,000sqft!
  12. They were painting large portions of the building, last weekend.
  13. I rather like the idea of two separate green spaces. If Camden had just added a little space to the larger park, and eliminated the pocket park, the larger really wouldn't feel any larger.
  14. Perhaps this could be a condo conversion.
  15. I bet that they are upgrading the property, but doing it in phases. The property must be able to compete for a higher paying tenants to earn its full potential. Hogg Palace a great building, with unique units in a great location, but it’s dated. Surely the new owners will go for top tier.
  16. Hope the hemp roaster flavors the air the same way the coffee roaster did.
  17. “Grace’s on Kirby”. Carabba’a really went a different direction here.
  18. A bit of a side topic, but we in June we switched from Reliant to Griddy. For the past two months our energy has been cut by about by half. Today we are at 1029 kWh and paying 8.9cents/kWh. Very impressed and happy about it so far.
  19. Includes the Preston? Don't see that. I don't even see BG Group tower. The Post Office was still a post office. The video was showcasing the subject's range of expertise and has nothing to do with the actual content.
  20. I always believed that the concept of the lit structure was to backlight the big Live Oaks around the property, which I thought was a very nice move as it respects the existing beauty of the area as well as provide a gentle light to the streetscape. I just don't think that this subtle effect would work with anything other than white.
