Holiday/Days/Heaven On Earth Inn At 801 St. Joseph Pkwy.
EllenOlenska replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
I have an idea. Wash it all down, invite people people to spray it, like the factory just off 45 to the south, and then when every part of it is covered with whatever the artists' want, then glass facade it up. It'd be a great historical object. -
Houston Planning on Walkable Places
EllenOlenska replied to BeerNut's topic in Bicycles and Other Low-Impact Modes
I guess what I'm saying is while they're doing this they should anticipate the movement of the freeway and add another color at the sliver on top. -
Houston Planning on Walkable Places
EllenOlenska replied to BeerNut's topic in Bicycles and Other Low-Impact Modes
I'm wondering why they don't extend it farther north to where the highway will be, and not where it is currently. Or am I somehow misreading the map? -
If you go into that foreign company's country, make it to the mouth of their volcano and throw an ancient deed into the flames, you free those surface lots for development

I'm making a French Revolution reference for Twinsanity. Georges Danton, by all accounts a hideous man, remarked that his executioners should show his "head to the people. It's well worth seeing" after it was chopped off.

Okay, so what I don't get honestly, is all this very theoretical density and the same huge parking lot east of the ballpark. It's kinda funny.

Maybe it'll be a simple brick building with the tiniest bit of massing and oak trees where the palm trees are. We don't know. It ain't built yet.- 362 replies

Heights Waterworks 2-Tracts: Nicholson St. At 449 W. 19th St.
EllenOlenska replied to andre154's topic in The Heights
Yeah, it's a sea. I'd like to point out what doesn't come through in the pictures (though it's there). A quarter of the chase lot has a two story steel construction. You can see it in on the right in the second and sixth pictures.- 163 replies

Sometimes a berm is close to a river bend. I don't know about here. But the "Crescent" in New Orleans, the part of the city they built on originally is on the bank of the Mississippi. The land next to White Oak on 19th wasn't flooding, but a block south it was, and at 11th it was in houses many blocks deep. So it's not so much about how close land is as how elevated land is.

https://archpaper.com/2018/06/texas-15-billion-bullet-train-roll-out/ Not sure if this is news, but it it is, wonderful. What get's me is when people write "additional stops between the two cities, such as in the city of Byran/College Station, have already been confirmed," when they must be talking about Roans Prairie. I went to A&M and Sam Houston State, and neither of them is within walking distance.

So a fact about Paris. Paris' grand boulevards were an invention of Napoleon III and his city planner, because the exclusively narrow streets were so easy to fill up with barricades. He wanted boulevards the width of a cavalry company.
