  1. Tim (or Ric?), Lots of developable land in the areal photo. 1.First of all, is the KBR Site. The area in the right half of the photo, the north of the Bayou between the two bridges. All owned by Cathexis and mostly cleared. No one has shared what the plans are...but the area is huge. 2. Just north of that, but south of I-10, Frank Liu is planning a community of 500+ residences in a Master Planned Community. Construction to start soon, to take advantage of some Ike Relief Money. 3. The entire area in the far east of the photo, is part of the 2nd Ward/5th Ward Livability study, which Askura Robinson is studying (Very cool stuff being discussed). 4. The big industrial area to the north of the Bayou here (far right, With the creek in it) Is Proler Metals. Supposedly, soon planning to move their operation closer to the Port. Lots of other industrial tracks which are abandoned or underused.
  2. Scoop! Spectacular. From where is that confirmed?
  3. Sounding better and better, to me, all the time. If this goes through, I will miss watching the reconstruction from the Y. Prediction: GFR in Skyhouse...will be Bail Bond Company. Unfortunately, a lot of store fronts will be. Maybe it's not such a great idea.
  4. Hey that's great slick. I'm so happy for you.
  5. It could also could provide a short route extension for the LR to connect to the possible HSR Station at the Post Office Site.
  6. I think the idea has dome merit. Having this baby filled up would be good for the overall picture. No idea about its suitability. But I do known this...th Patrolium Club space would make a hell of a commissary. I think the idea has dome merit. Having this baby filled up would be good for the overall picture.

  7. Great tip on the Whoola Movie app. Works great. And the selection in many was is better than Netflix.
  8. Bet you can't wait, slick. I don't know how. But I think I can almost hear you smile as you type those words. Your tone, or lack there of, is just down right tacky.
  9. This view from the article isn't one that I have seen. You can see what the article states as being "seven vertical gardens" in the project. Liking it more and more.
  10. Finally. This structure has such a large footprint, I bet that there maybe up to three cranes. At least I hope so.
  11. Kitten's Sugerdaddy issues crack me up.
  12. Very Exciting stuff. We have years of improvements (like this) to look forward too. Memorial Park is so huge. But, it seems like all most people know if it is The Loop and maybe the Arboretum.
  13. West Gray has always been the FRANCE of Houston...don't you think?
  14. Agree Sparrow. Assuming this is open to the public, which I expect that it will be, The Glassell will definitely become an favorite icon for the city. Makes the Museum buildings and Sculpture Garden feel a part of the Park. This feature alone will pull a lot of people to the Museum District...even if they don't visit any of the museums.
  15. Monarch, I liked your observation about the building appearing to "Breath". Below is Steven Holl's water color "vision" that his team had to follow...or do something with. Mmmmkay... So, the design does not seem to be a huge statement, but it is gorgeous. MFAH is a fantastic museum with a very impressive collection. The art is what should steal the show...and this collection can do it (Unlike the Getty in LA). The interior/gallery spaces are what will count. Tintow knows his stuff. He will make this one of the Best museums to view the art, that there is. I am impressed by the restraint and elegance of the renderings/design. Like many of the very fine museums in Texas, by which it will be gauged. It will really showcase at night, which is one of Holl's trademarks. Was expecting more about the Landscaping concept. I guess we now have that, also, to look forward to. Can't wait to see more renderings.
