    This forum worried so much about it looking awful, that it forgot to worry about it looking out of place.

    It's like they're raking a giant zen garden

    It must have been those two bungalows I saw being torn down.

    Yeah, so my understanding was Angostura's understanding: that the SE corner (the one fence off) will be the site of the new Chase building, and the big brown brick building will be sold off. There's a pavilion on the north side of that east block (I think of them as two blocks) that might have an ATM, I've never checked. That Chase building and corresponding parking lot is huge.

    So, as I mentioned in the Midrise/waterworks building thread, Chase Bank took out the ATMs at the drive through ATM spot on the eastern block last week. Today I drove by and saw that the southern two-thirds of the east block where the ATMs sit are fenced off and they are currently demolishing things.

    Certainly the charm is attenuated, atomized (west of Ashland). There are still a few cool buildings west of there. I kind of hope this apartment adds toward the urban vibe. Though I was really disappointed to see the sea of parking they had planned in front of the water works buildings.

    There's a few in the area. There's one in the Bank, a walk up. I think there's one on eleventh in front of Republic Diner. But, yeah I think they've been totally removed.

    I'd like also to note that the chase bank lot directly east of the Chase building and south of the apartment building going up, now doesn't have any drive through ATMs.

    I'm not aerospace engineer, but I figure a horizontal takeoff and landing spaceplane really needs a control tower. I'm sorry I'm on this control tower, but it's there and it's big.
  10. EllenOlenska
    The air traffic control tower is going up there.
  11. EllenOlenska
    All I know from occasionally driving on Old Galveston Road is that they are building that massive new air control tower at Ellington Field.

    I'm under the impression the short one is the hotel, and the tall one is the residences, full stop.

    I love the potential page.

    I was excited--or I don't think I ever really believed it--but I was excited because someone posted a second thread that there was going to be a new downtown park. So there were two threads and I thought, maybe there are two different new parks. But of course it was a duplicate thread.

    I lived in one of those. (I have my own thread somewhere on this forum about the ones I lived in. What up, Huntsville Cube Square). But back to what I was saying, three shipping containers is about 1000 square feet, so this is a pretty big house. Roomier than a lot of the rowhouses I've seen.

    I was briefly stoked about TWO new parks in south downtown.

    I heard Gail Delaughter on the NPR Texas Standard show yesterday and she kept repeating that the train would stop in College Station. I kept thinking, isn't the train actually going to stop in Shiro?

    Ross has a point. Really, the point.

    I think I'm too excited about this redevelopment. Mostly because I miss Pop & Pan's sandwiches.
  20. EllenOlenska
    Not much has changed.
  21. EllenOlenska
    I was just planning on going to an observation deck. What is open? Any suggestions?

    One might say that, if some of Houston's most famous examples are modernist, then the bunker architecture of the post office goes hand and hand with that golden age.
  23. EllenOlenska
    I'm gonna go ahead and say that I like it. 25-in-total gleaming there will add a lot of dynamism to the skyline.
  24. EllenOlenska
    Man, that theoretical downtown to Northwest plot jaunt everyone is planning is bonkers.

    Eschewing "should", private companies have and will use eminent domain, so this project could and might happen. Also, I like trains.
