    Correct me if I am wrong but is there not a massive 7 story parking garage going up a block over from MMP that is supposed to service the area for big events?

    I started a thread about this very subject in the Midtown forum. Seems like there were mixed feelings about it but I think it would be great.

    It was the corner to be at it think. I kept wondering if there was fellow HAIF member around me, lol.

    One would hope this is only the beginning in developers way of thinking in Houston.

    I felt the need to add one thing to the debate. I recently visited Singapore and its climate is more hot and humid than Houston. Let me say that again, MORE hot and humid than Houston. The reason I bring this up is because they have indeed managed to create an urban city that is centered around pedestrian life. Before anyone brings up how different their government is I conceded that point. Their government structure and politics are very different. No argument there. The same applies to geography. The whole point is that despite their weather challanges you see people outside all the time walking, eating and enjoying the sites. To add more fuel to the fire they have an extensive tunnel system in downtown and in the neighborhoods. This tunnel system is of course an extension of the subway system there but I digress. If Singapore can build an urban oasis in hotter and more humid climate than so can we. My understanding is that once their mindset turned urban it has taken them 20-30 years to get where they are. My hope is that now that we have turned to an urban mindset, though it will take several year if not decades, we will eventually be rewarded with the urban city we have always wanted.

    I hate to be negative but I do wonder which view will command the highest rate. The Chevron parking parage, Wedge garage, or the surface lot

    If you look at the original rendering the pedestal looks very much like what was pictured/rendered before.

    No, your best chance to get up there is to be in business attire and just act like you belong. You will have to do this during normal business hours. They typically have 1-2 security guards on either side of the elevator banks. Another good idea is to go into the tunnels and take the direct skylobby elevator from there.

    I believe you are actually refering to the "why we must go to the moon" speach. The "ask not..." was his inagural speech. I learned that at Texas ; )

    It reminds me of some of the apartments that have been built along Lady Bird Lake and Lamar in Austin.

    Any updates on this? Lots of rumblings from tenants in lobby areas.

    I am not going nine rounds on this. Say that you won or digress I don't care. I enjoy these forums and only post information when I believe it comes from a credible source. The main part of my post was about the parking situation that has puzzled most so let's just stay on that.
