It's sort of funny how this pictures exists but if you turn 90 degrees on that balcony you'll see five empty lots.- 316 replies

Heights Waterworks 2-Tracts: Nicholson St. At 449 W. 19th St.
EllenOlenska replied to andre154's topic in The Heights
There is a lot of work going on around the property. Men are digging up the ground between the road and the Nicholson facing property line, and there are people working on 19th street. The gates to the water work plant open. A lot of energy expended but little else to report. The Chase Bank building has for sale signs up.- 162 replies

As a person living in the Tanglewood area I like to think of a line up Washington either connecting and Shepherd and then going down 11th, or connecting at Hemptstead. But the light rail of my imagination goes all over the place.

I'm a little surprised no one posted this. Was down at my parents, got a look at an actual physical paper. And this was on it. About a grant for infrastructure. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/Grant-seen-as-a-boost-for-Houston-Spaceport-10952195.php

The Allen: Mixed-Use Development At Allen Parkway & Gillette St.
EllenOlenska replied to jmontrose's topic in Going Up!
I like neartown, but how about this: Allen Parkway. I feel like Allen Parkway winds so much it covers enough ground to call the area that. Also, I went out to Buffalo Bayou Park today. And I took some pictures (panos) to give the site some more visual context. These are from the Police Memorial.- 1,658 replies

Luxury One Apartments: Proposed Multifamily At 5020 Larkin St.
EllenOlenska replied to Urbannizer's topic in Going Up!
I'm a little vexed by this. I like it, it looks very nice. Like it should be in east midtown. But I live near this and I run through the streets down there sometimes, and every neighborhood thereabouts always has narrow streets and cars parked along the ditches, and it's tough to drive and also to run safely.- 17 replies

It's a stunning building in the very heart of the city. That garage, though, is...flimsy looking. -

This is from a week back. I posted it on the Arabella page but I can't seem to see the image on any device. It's a pano and this tall tower is in the background.

The surfhouse is cool, but I'm really excited that Panini & Provisions is staying. It's my favorite restaurant in all of the "Heights" (including the actual Heights.) By the way, thank you CrockpotandGravel for all the updates around the greater Heights.

The Heights Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming
EllenOlenska replied to Freelander's topic in The Heights
I heard a lot of good things and was always saying I should go there when I have cash on hand, but I never did. Now I feel like I helped kill FC. -
The Tower of London in rouged brick built on a parking lot is something I'd beg for in Houston. Edit: Yeah, meant brick.

To hammer home Angostura's point, both are similar (though they're larger) to Karbach Brewery near Dacoma street, maybe two miles away.
