I-45 Rebuild (North Houston Highway Improvement Project)
Elseed replied to ToryGattis's topic in Traffic and Transportation
This entire stupid boondoggle of a project makes me realize how much of a worthless useless organization TXDOT is. It also made me realize just how spineless and corrupt politicians are.- 3,356 replies

Holiday/Days/Heaven On Earth Inn At 801 St. Joseph Pkwy.
Elseed replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
This entire building should just be filled with murals, inside and out. That would be an awesome site to see. -

m.e.h........another mall.... Houston Center ----> Sucks Bayou Place ----------> Sucks Houston Pavilions/GreenStreet -----> Sucks but getting better very slowly Downtown Tunnels ------> Single worst development in Downtown Houston history. Was really excited to see what was going to happen with this site but not anymore...The city should've gave the building to University of Houston-Downtown and just let the school expand its footprint...but they decided the building is better off being an indoor mall straight from 1977. This project should be called PreHTX...because its everything lame Houston developers are known for.

Believe whomever you want to believe. On one hand you got some NIMBY "environmental engineer" who wants, excuse me; demands people to agree with him or he's going to do the writing equivalent of slamming his hands on the ground and cry or you can choose to believe someone............on second thought, you sound exactly like a pretentious NIMBY just like Ole Reefmonkey, I don't want you on Team El Seed lol......quantity not quality.....anywho...cheers! Til next time bud!

Maybe I didn't articulate it perfectly but AnTonY gets it. Galveston has so much potential. It has potential to be a Savannah or Charleston or whatever it wants itself to be. The problem is people like you who have no vision, no pride in your community, and quite frankly, "no swag" want Galveston to be the same or at best a poor mans Mobile, Alabama ( No offense to Mobile). If people like you were with the Allen Bros in 1836 all you would've saw is a mosquito infested swamp not a thriving port city that they envisioned. You probably called Tillman a fool for wanting to build a boardwalk even after the original got destroyed, but he still did it; visionary. You would've probably be against spending millions in developing Discovery Green in Downtown Houston but somebody thought it was a great idea; a vision. Whatever Galveston does it MUST be world class. Its got too much going for it not to be: close to a major metropolis, beaches, charming urban city center, historically preserved buildings, close to at least 4 other major cities (N.O., S.A., Dallas, ATX), theme parks. Having nothing less than the best or should I say aiming for nothing less than the best is really doing Galveston a disservice. So there you have it. Oh, but one thing that is clear as day is; this whole topic has really gotten your panties in a bunch lol. Its OK snowflake we're on the same team. No need to be a NIMBY.

You sir have hit the target.

Sorry bud you're wrong and I'm right. The Houston/Galveston area needs some more cool almost outlandish ideas to put the city at the forefront of the world. Like it should be. Think Dubai. However, lame Houstonians, like yourself only want a future of Applebees and Big Box Wal-Marts as far as the eyes can see. Fortunately, there are some good developers thinking of some cool things for Houston and Galveston in the future.

Nah, it'll be worth it.
-
Nah, I like my idea better.
-
Nah, thats limited thinking. Thats a very old school backwards texan type thinking. Turning it into a playground for the rich would be ideal. It would be awesome if it could be a hybrid of South Beach and New Orleans. Its kinda lame as it is.

You're probably not very good in business. Nor do you have an imagination; pity.

What I mean is; there should be a a crystal clear blue lagoon development created in/around Galveston Beach. This project would be close to the beach and it will have a crystal clear blue lagoon anchoring it. As for “Hampton’s type development”, I mean; there should be a “Hampton’s type development" in Galveston. No one said it has to be exactly like the Hampton's, that's why I wrote; “Hampton’s type development." Notice the word "type." This development doesn't have to be inferior and it could essentially be just a neighborhood; at first. Then it can grow to whatever the developers or the city's hearts desires. Also, the "authentic Gulf Coast town" experience is a pretty crappy experience if you ask me. You've got to have vision Reefmonkey or you'll just continue to make the same crappy development that Houston and Texas is so used too.

Sorry bud, it was and always will be lame. You got it brother!

Mehh. The Houston shops has been lame just like the downtown tunnels since day one.

Walked by and it looked like work has been done but still no clue as to what is going on. I hope they open a live music venue or a comedy club.

The entire building should just have murals on it.That would look pretty sweet. Either way I hope they don't tear it down. Abandoned or not we still needs as many buildings as possible in the city. -
