  1. amazing! this is one very well constructed, high quality edifice. cannot wait to see completed development.
  2. oh my.. now at street level. wonderful illustrations nate99!
  3. toxtethogrady, god only knows that i love you my pal. however, virgin megastore being overhyped is certainly your opinion.. but it's certainly not a fact! virgin megastore, is one of the very first places that i look forward to visiting every time i arrive in dubai, uae. the store at the dubai mall is indeed quite cool.. but the best store in dubai, is at the mall of the emirates. everyone seems to be jammed packed in that store. it's incredible, and an absolute blast. those stores, seem to harbor any and everything! as soon as i arrive back to dubai, uae... i shall definitely be headed there.
  4. ok look, as a citizen of our fair city of houston.. the future development as per downtown houston CBD is highly important to me. heck, i even live downtown houston. therefore, i and amongst other citizens of our great city.. only long for it to become the very best that it can become. we want to impress our visitors, we want to accept / embrace the very highest standards of living possible within this growing CBD. therefore, this is the ONLY reason that i openly entertain the insight being brought forth as per htown live. i respect him as one our our HAIF stalwarts. although, i am not certain as to what city wide position that he is hereby responsible for... i want him to know that i can easily respect him as a professional as well. i am not here to lambast htown live. i am not here to discredit his insight vs perspectives. for as i have espoused beforehand... i am astute enough to know just how volatile and inconsistent this particular mode of work can be dealing with city government vs city wide planning... it can be utterly career ending to some. therefore, htown live, please do not feel as though we are coming down hard upon you as person. you are hereby a HAIF member (you are one of us) we do so respect you. all that we are hereby asking in return.. is for you to deliver comprehensible insight, so that we may learn and move forward as per some sensible knowledge as to where we are headed upon the CBD / downtown vicinity. maybe, you should have started off explaining to us, that there was a meeting that you were hereby involved in, that led to this strange inconsistent upheaval of prior planning. this approach may have harbored a bit more sense as opposed to just throwing out discombobulated rhetoric regarding the old sakowitz building. (it just did / does not make any sense) we are all highly abreast to the simple fact that you are not at liberty to openly display all intimate details of your high level city government meetings. this we do indeed understand. however, what you can deliver to us... just make it comprehensible.. this is all that we are asking.
  5. htown live, pal i love you.. but this is all so very confusing to me. if our illustrious city government cannot even come together to acquire a bloomingdales brand upon such a barron retail desert such as downtown houston.. then how on earth could you possibly think that downtown houston could entertain such retail powerhouses such as a HARRODS vs SELFRIDGES? have you ever shopped at a GALERIES LAFAYETTE? well, i have many times at the dubai mall in dubai, uae. this particular french department store often reminds me of a more glamorous macy's. i have eaten at the RED BOX. this is the very nice little cafe / bistro located inside the larger GALERIES LAFAYETTE. we shall learn to become a bit more realistic here my god pal. if houston cannot even seem to lure a VIRGIN MEGASTORE.. i would highly doubt that a HARROD'S , SELFRIDGES, or even a GALORIES LAFAYETTE, shall want to entertain downtown houston at this more wonderful time during our current construction boom. those particular brands, are EXTREMELY international. to date they seem to only cater to the very wealthy vs european consumer.
  6. what!!!!! htown live, i have been one of your most loyal and consistent stalwarts upon this forum. it's not like i believed any and everything that you have espoused upon during your discourse. however, i like to believe that i am astute enough to know that without a doubt, that in a city a large as the city of houston.. circumstances are indeed likely to change upon a dime. however, what you have just espoused within these last three aforementioned post regarding these impromptu and yet totally discombobulated "the city" development changes... has me starting to doubt your discourse. nothing is making any sense! trust me my good pal, we HAIFER'S appreciate the very fact that we harbor a stalwart within city government that may allow us a peep into city planning / discussions to some degree. however, please bare in mind that you are not the only stalwart that is capable of offering intimate discerning information as per houston city government. therefore, should you extend a bit of generosity and present to us a bit of key insight.. then it shall need to be comprehensible... at least to some comforting degree. everyone knows about the long standing historical and yet empty sakowitz building. we all would give most anything to see this gem of a building get redeveloped into a shining star. however, we are all indeed smart enough to know that whatever comes forth.. is going to be a somewhat costly / time consuming / often irritating patience grabbing puzzle, that shall require optimum planning / discourse. therefore, when you espouse upon the old sakowitz building being discussed as a bloomingdales / ritz carlton, sounds like huge joke! what!!! are you hereby serious!!! buddy, you shall now want to carefully explain yourself here... your credibility moving forward.. is now at stake.
  7. i can only pray that god delivers me the strength to carry myself decently once the magnificent place opens. i harbor this strange sense that i shall end up losing my over shopping mind!
  8. whole heart... i cannot wait to get to the seafood department for some fresh red snapper fillets. wonderful illustrations triton!
  9. did you ever ask ebenezer scrooge.. just why on earth did he ever become ebenezer scrooge? good question huh...
  10. ummmmm... you stopped me dead in my tracks when you mentioned your wet panties. i don't know what else to think...
  11. omg HAIF! HOTEL VALENCIA RIVERWALK in san antonio, is also owned / operated as per houston's valencia group.. HOTEL SORRELLA, is also upon their brilliant repertoire. this boutique hotel is indeed a gem of central texas. a conde naste award winner. this can only mean that this new GREENSTREET hotel.. shall indeed become a masterpiece.
  12. i a concurring with you completely! another one of our stalwarts submitted the illustration. from what i have personally witnessed, OPP does not harbor any difficulties as per retail traffic. i am always shopping at phoenicia market... i love it there. once they finally open the alternate retail establishment... i am most certain that it shall become successful as well.
