  1. If you're referring to the land on the corner of Allen Pkwy and Montrose I believe it was initially bought by the Aga Khan Foundation and they were going to build a cultural center there. That was the news a few yrs. ago as of now I really don't know whats going on but something might happen in the near future based on the article below. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/local/gray-matters/article/Imagine-A-safe-way-to-cross-Allen-Parkway-6807170.php
  2. Does anyone know when the " Mas que la cara " portion of the art blocks is supposed to be up? Or is it already up?
  3. Totally agree with you, it would probably even attract some more people for conventions, conferences, or whatever they got going on at the time.
  4. I believe the original plan was to redevelop the sakowitz building and part of another building into street level retail? Which I think could work. However, after the city announced that they've narrowed the the list of developers to work on this project no one has really heard anything from the city.
  5. Out of curiosity, is there or has there ever been a sign at GRB stating what event or events are taking place?
  6. So still no word on any potential tenants in the retail corridor?
  7. Does anyone know when the external improvements to Greenstreet will be completed? Because Greenstreet still looks really plain from the outside.....
  8. I really hope this gets done by Superbowl 2017....Midtown and Ric Campo need to stop lollygagging and just get on with it
  9. Sad to say....This whole Hardy Yards project is probably going to be really crappy...all of it....
  10. This is off topic but I didn't really know where to place it....has anybody heard of a future mixed use development coming to EaDo? Apparently it'll be next to the new Ecclesia Church and HFP....I'm asking because it was mentioned in this article.... http://www.chron.com/life/food/article/Houston-food-truck-parks-plots-next-location-in-5869640.php " Just a block away from the HFP/Ecclesia complex a mixed use development is coming up, said Ponce, which will only mean more business for everyone once it’s completed. Right now some of the biggest days at the park are when the Houston Dynamo are playing at nearby BBVA Compass Stadium."
  11. Thats cause we got lame developers and too many backwards people in this city plus so many people in this city has had a anti urban and anti 24hr street life attitude for such a long time....finally we're actually starting to see houston actually be somewhat vibrant and forward thinking...its depressing to go to cities like chicago which is not that much bigger than us population wise and there is so much life in the heart of the city streets at all times...I mean look at the stupid tunnels downtown they've literally ruined streetlife downtown......vibrancy at the streetlevel is so important having a vibrant downtown is so important any city you go to most people want to go downtown because downtown is the center of the city...but Houston....oooooh noooo....no real landmarks...no real tourist attractions...and if you want anything like that in houston people flip out and think you're trying to be like "noooooo yoooork" really at the end of the day its the people...its there mentality...alot of people even though they're generations removed from the country they still want a simple country life in a city with 6 million people in the metro area...personally I feel every great city should have something for everyone...good country area, good suburban area, and a good urban area....but then again its houston...no planning..no vision...he who has the most money can create the city that he/she wants.....also no rail? Hov lanes are worthless...sometimes I feel like this city just recently came out of the stone-age
  12. according Caspian website they make some nice looking brick buildings...so hopefully something like that pops up at Yale...
  13. I hope they keep that Central Square sign on top
  14. That would be great too...I heard Prohibition is moving across the street from the old El Jefe Bar on Main St...and they have burlesque shows...
  15. There you go! its happened before why not again! You sound very prudish.
