    I saw two "ASTRODOME BUCKET SEATS" going for 500 bucks at an antique shop in the Heights.

    ...He's more robot than human now.... But more on the subject of KBR. Well, tangentially related to KBR. I was under the layman's impression the realignment would 1) double up the roads along where 69 is, thus further obstructing the KBR site, and was 2) not a done deal? Anyone?

    I believe in the foreground (to the left) are the TSU dorms. From the new UH stadium during a ridiculously long rain delay.

    Balconies scare me.

    And I'm about as close as Davis has to a defender on here. And I'm being negative!

    I don't dislike it, but let's hope it pulls an opposite-Alessandra.

    One) Nice reference, H-Town Man. Two) I have to say, I've always liked the archways. Of all the "Brazil" government-style buildings in Houston, this one I'll miss.

    And my dream of the west-facing view of Downtown getting a little less monolithic and a little more three dimensional is nudged closer to reality.

    Well, to be as fair as I can be to my hometown, Houston is weird. You don't see many cities as economically powerful or as populous as Houston also be Alaska big (square mile-wise.) It is that big for many many complex reasons I only know a little about, so all I'll say is: it will for a long time, even as some areas grow dense, have empty fields which can be furrowed with the tears of amateur urban planners (like myself.)

    If all things that weren't were moved out of "going up" the haif-world would be a much less cluttered, and, perhaps, a little less exciting place.

    I have a slightly different view on this. While a lot of your concerns are logical. I'm old enough to remember (and I'm not very old) coming to the ball park with family and parking a sea of empty lots and derelict buildings. When I was there recently, looking around at the town houses, the lofts, and the soccer stadium, I was surprised how close the Ivy Lofts was to an invigorated area. This is probably because it seemed father away on a map, to my eye. But, in comparison with the past, the future for Live Oak seems pretty bright.

    Oh flats. Because Britain is so hip nowadays.

    I can't wait til I start seeing renderings and am able to differentiate all these massive concrete seas surrounding downtown from each other.

    When will it get a metro rail?

    I'm going to be in the minority, but I don't hate it. It was handsome and now not quite so handsome, but in the end I don't know if I like it less than, say, the Sky Houses. They say humans feel twice as much pain with loss than they feel pleasure with gain, so I can understand why one would be upset with the "blah"-ization of the building, but my thoughts are still this: well, it's tall.

    I wonder about its height. It will poke out a bit farther than the Alexans, and do it farther north. So begins the itty-bitty Heights skyline.
