the poor hyatt regency downtown houston, is simply going to HAVE to renovate.

compared to this beautiful new JW MARRIOTT...

they shall now be relegated to a

two star ** establishment.

simply wonderful.

please trust me urbannizer... for i am not aware upon whether or not if you have ever been to dubai, or visited many of the SUPER WORLD CLASS hotel's abroad...

however, i can honestly assure you, that upon these most gorgeous illustrations that you have so generously supplied...

many of those hotels... no matter how very luxurious... no matter how very exotic... no matter their national and worldly brands...

THEY SHALL NOW BE JEALOUS OF HOUSTON!

hey gang, does anyone have any new illustrations as per the JW MARRIOTT?  have they positioned the new letters upon the new porte cochere?  are they now officially open?  i shall probably be back in town within a couple of weeks... upon then i shall book a weekend...

Ahhhh cranes! That's why you're Howard 'huge'

 

All this time I've been giving you too much credit. 

oooops!  i do declare... howard, i thought you were going by the moniker "howard huge" because.....well, i'll just... well, i'll just add this....NSFW!

beautiful!

let us please pray.. that the MARLOWE is indeed up and running in time as per the 2017 superbowl.

we certainly do not want 100.000+ visitors viewing ongoing construction

upon that particular area... do we...

Isnt all money made overseas untaxable in the US, up to a certain amount??

i am not certain regarding "all" money.  for i am sure there shall be guidelines / criteria depending upon how one goes about performing their trade etc..  however, upon my line of business, any sum over $95,000.00 is indeed taxable to some degree.  also, should one come home to the states to visit for more than 30x days... they shall indeed be taxed.  

this is why i stay away and relax where ever i am.  i am single.  therefore, i don't have people bothering me.... period.  

lovely.  now where exactly is this located?

Amen brother. I got a closet full of Gucci, Burberry, Tom Ford, Versace, etc...

howard, you probably will not believe this... however, usually, when i am vacationing in dubai, i normally lodge at either the KEMPINSKI HOTEL (mall of the emirates) or THE ADDRESS HOTEL (dubai mall uae), anyway, whenever i decide to venture forth out of my hotel room to go shopping inside the mall... i am pretty much very well dressed (white tailored shorts, cool white valentino, gucci, ferragamo polo, ivy newsboy cap, leather gucci loafers, leather backpack... the works.  

i am completely attired to shop at some of the foremost stores / boutique's in the world.  however, when it comes to the TOM FORD store at either mall... this particular store is so very intimidating... that i always feel completely underdressed.  therefore, to date, no matter how many times i have stood right outside of it's front door... i have never shopped at a TOM FORD boutique.  the store always looks as though, you have to knock on the front door for them to permit you inside their boutique via butler.  

TOM FORD, has got to be one of the most intimidating boutiques that i have ever experienced...

Monarch, if you dont mind me asking, how much is Fluor Daniels paying a Senior Operations guy per year, ballpark?

aaaahhh, but you must keep in mind my good pal... that whenever i venture into a (zone of special danger) such as the THEATER OF AFGHANISTAN vs IRAQ vs whereever our great DOD needs us to manage our troops... there is always a CONSIDERABLE salary markup.  now keep in mind, that i have been performing these great middle eastern tasks for quite a few years.... get the financial picture now $$$$$$....

how do you think that i am able to practically live / play in dubai, uae?  not to mention, constantly lodge at some of the most magnificent hotels upon this universe.... hard work abroad, does in indeed have it's benefits....  oh, and pretty soon, i shall be headed back for more.

God yes? More like god damn.

 

Commence hate posts/flaming now, I don't really care.

no way mike!  no flaming hate post here... not all products within the ETRO boutique's are that expensive.  although, quite a few are.  it is just a very cool store concept.  they have been around for decades... somewhat akin to gucci.  however, i cannot wait to experience them here in houston.  it's going to be cool...  

if i might add, i honestly don't know exactly how anyone is going to be able to keep me away from all the shops at ROD.  does anyone know...

@Monarch

 

What would it take for me to get a cool graphic / keep calm thing?

just some serious outstanding work!  also, your name / moniker shall have to be currently in the "keep calm" repertoire.  not all names / moniker's are...

etro is expanding to houston...

oh god yes!

i love the boutique in the mall of the emirates, dubai.  great place!

simply outstanding illustrations! 

hopefully his "sexy" inspiration shall stem from hotel alessandra.

what better inspiration than this...

ok, you have definitely earned this one...

and stop bragging by showing your socks!

This is correct. It is not on the embassy suite site but it is replacing a parking lot near there.

yes!  now you see there swtsig... you have me doing the EF HUTTON stop... look... and listen... thing again...

well, doesn't it take a couple of month's just to clear up the debris?  think about the old foley's / macy's site...

well, there is one thing that i can truly espouse about old randall davis... he does indeed have an unquenchable thirst for adventure....

how could we possibly blame poor citykid09?  many of these high end developments ARE starting to look alike....

wonderful pic larry!

outstanding work rechlin!

amazing...

brilliant!

and i love the mariachi band...
