^^So maceo9903. It's good to see you like Houston but curious. What does Houston have that Atlanta doesn't. As far as i know Atlanta has trendier developments, better mass transit, and hills.

He's already responded to this question here http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/i...pic=5491&st=100

post 135 and 139

See maceo9903 your not the only one that brings up something that has been brought up in the past...it happens to the best of us

Now who all is going to the lighting thingy this Sat between 7pm- midnight

so i have a friend that just got hired at AA and they posters downtown were just for marketing purposes.. There is no AA going to be built downtown. it was all BUZZ

The retailer had been scouting locations here for a while. Its first local store was slated for downtown's Sakowitz building, whose owners are getting a grant from the city of Houston as part of a new retail incentive program for that area.

The company said while there have been delays, the downtown store is still a go.

At least for now, my friends and I will have a little block party outside my crib for the 1st round American games, but I still haven't heard anything from the City Of Houston about Main Street the way they did for the Astros

I watched something the other day on TV, how the US is ranked number 4 but not many people in the US seem to care.

610 Loop is 37 miles around. Probably about 40 minutes.

I just finish driving around the loop. It took 38:28.91 to go around the loop at 60mph at around 1am with no traffic I know sad...I couldn't sleep

Imagine the Winter Music Conference in Houston. Or some kind of electronica-based festival of it's size. It's be HUGE, and look great with Houston's skyline. AND imagine if Power of Houston came back, but with a 24-hour feel to it for 5 days...

What was the power of Houston. I know it was a fireworks show at the end but what was the point? How many years did it happen? I take it was getting too expensive to continue

I'm not that big of fan of box looking cars but this one looks pimping

Reagan

I will stick around as I think a lot of people will too. Everyone jetted because of Katrina. , after the jams and nothing really hit I think people will stay. If I do go I won't go to Dallas, I'll pump my FEMA dollars into the San Antonio or Austin economy where I'm welcomed

She's dating one of the Spurs. I thought she won a beauty pagent in some Texas city, but I know she's Texan 4 sure:)

Didn't she win and is from South Padre?

When I first read the thread title my first thought was that Dallas was the prison and the guy was going to try to break out of Dallas

Usually it's because no one from the area has bought a franchise yet. These companies are eager to expand into all sorts of new areas, but usually can't (or won't) do anything until someone decides to take on the task. If you're looking for a career change, it could be a good opportunity. From what I've read, new franchisees tend to get a lot of help from the company setting up.

I thought Starbucks didn't franchise....so it said on there site a couple years ago. That's why I bought some stock, I haven't really kept up with the company

where can I get a copy. I've looked at my local blockbuster and Fry's but no luck

How come there is no Starbucks in the Northline area or in the mid to lower income level areas? Everyperson, regarding of income likes coffee.

Yeah but not everyone regardless of income is willing to shell out X amount for a cup of coffee when you can get your cup from home or a corner store for much cheaper. Starbucks caters to where the starbucks drinkers are or could be if there is a need there will be.

Rather than hijack yet another thread to Dallas, start another topic in the Dallas section, or read some of the existing topics, where I can assure you it has been beat to death.

Like http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/i...?showtopic=6306 thread. Sorry maceo9903 I know your new and all and appreciate your Houston enthusiasm. But the questions you posed have been beaten into the ground. Look under the Dallas topic

There could easily be a veranda extended from the side of the Hobby Center garage, with a couple of cafes. Hanging gardens off each level would be a nice touch, too.

That's not a bad idea, I like the way you think

Please till me your kidding

I think that projecting on walls for special events is alright, it's temporary and serves tha event. But there is such a thing as Jumbotron over kill

Just beautiful! I remember the park when they were still building it, back in January, but, I really should take a visit to see the completed project!

We have come a long way. Here are some pics originally posted by HiI on another thread. They were posted back in Nov

No mistake. I thought people might want to read how another city's new park spurned residential developement-as many are hoping our new park will.

yeah, Red and everyone else knew what you meant. Thanks for breaking it down for Semi

Nice pictures

I never noticed that Quizno's on the second picture.

BRIDGING THE CITY AND NATURE

Supporters hope the $15 million Sabine-to-Bagby Promenade jump-starts more efforts to develop city's signature waterway

Beautifying Buffalo Bayou

I just saw the comercial it was pretty damn funny. It looked like Mattress Mac was having a seisure

I passed by it yeasterday before it started. I didn't know what it was until now. There wasn't any signs nor have I heard or seen any ads prior to now.

I went to the island yesterday, on business for a few hours (didn't get to do or see much). I hadn't been there in years. Just like Houston, Galveston has soooo much potential. I see people and developments happening. Good going Galveston keep it up

cool we have gone back to page 24

Welcome back to page 24 EVERYONE

Thanks subdude

If there were a Dumbotron how many of you cockroaches plan to go stare at the pretty neon on a regular basis?

I stare at a screen at work, watch plenty of TV(news and some shows) at home. When I do watch TV at home I just turn it off or change the channel when the comercials come on. Why, when I want to get away from TV by walking around and seeing my loveley city would I want to be bombarded by ADs on the side of buildings. Yall all know that Jim Adler, Hilton Furniture guy,Matress Mack and other awfull companies will buy the airtime and ram there ads down our throats. What are we suppose to walk around with our eyes closed

Just what we need a 50ft

Somebody PLEASE take pictures of this event next weekend and please post them here but especially on places like Skyscrapercity and Skyscraperpage!

Why on Skyscrapercity and Skyscraperpage?
