    So has any stores/boutiques/restaurants/nail salons/bars/cafes opened up in the retail district? Or plan on opening up in the retail district? Has anyone heard any rumblings? Also a strip club in and around Market Square Park would be interesting kind've like scores in NYC a pool hall would be nice too....also an awesome sports bar

    It would be awesome if they have a Jumbotron....Or some huge Advertisements....(never understood why DT Houston doesnt have a million advertisements on the buildings and such seeing how there all over the freeway) Maybe a nice mural (it has to be Huge)...more bars...a rooftop lounge....

    True....I'm happy with just getting some taller buildings in Midtown....and as far as the "Midtown Medical Ctr" idea...like I said in another post just wishful thinking/brainstorming...but hey who knows?

    True......but like most of us in this forum a lot of the ideas spoken in this forum is wishful thinking and just general brainstorming....which is where I like most of us is coming from....whether Downtown ever connects to TMC or if Downtown ever connects to Uptown....who knows? Maybe it will? Maybe it won't? but hey we can always dream....

    I agree with the fact that there is a possibility of traffic being bad in Midtown but the truth is traffic probably is going to get worse anyway just because there are a lot more people moving into midtown and the fact that Houston has a terrible public transit system....as long as there is growth in Houston's city center there will be a chance of a traffic increase....If the buildings are properly placed in Midtown I don't think it would be an issue and also the rail goes to midtown but hopefully with the new rail lines starting up and the possibility that Metro is going to "re-imagine" the current transit system traffic might not be that bad....

    1. As far as the open pieces of land goes as long as there are a cluster of buildings close too both sides of Rice U. and Herman park when you are coming towards downtown visually it'll look connected I'm not say all the buildings will be 10 ft away from each other I'm saying the buildings will be close enough to each other to give some form of connection visually which I'm happy with....also look at Manhattan there's a ton of buildings surrounding Central Park but yet that doesn't screw up their skyline...they just built around it....and everything still looks connected.. 2.You right about TMC being planned and having master planning...but whose to say that can't happen again in Midtown?

    Basically what I meant was we already have a TMC why not create another TMC and since space is running out in the TMC why not have a TMC #2 if you will in Midtown.....there are still infill sites needed in midtown that can be filled ....TMC #2 will add some huge buildings to midtown helping connect "the gap" between Downtown and TMC....The Museum District would need a few more buildings as well....Overall even with a few added buildings to The Museum District and adding a TMC #2 to Midtown you would still have some gaps in the Downtown to TMC skyline but coming into the city it would look nicely connected not perfect but the buildings will be close enough to "look" connected and as far as "doctors mingling at rail stops with tourists" who cares? whats so odd about that? I've seen stuff like that on the subway in NYC Chicago and Hong Kong ? so what would make it so odd? Are we all supposed to be separated into 'castes" and sworn never to mingle among each other?BTW you do realize that "doctors mingling at rail stops with tourists" probably already happens here...I know people who work in finance and engineering in Downtown and interact with TMC personal on the rail on they way home to Reliant Park and on that train they see tourists...so its not a huge deal....Oh yeah and you do sound this crazy when rambling about connecting skylines one day...

    They should expand the TMC into midtown....and have a Midtown Medical Center....which would be an extension of the Med Ctr....have the hospitals close to the rail...and just put a TON of office buildings/Hospitals in Midtown and we can finally have midtown connected to the TMC

    Man this is so true...and make 10 story garage...with a mural on all 4 sides and giant letters that say parking on top in Neon red lights....

    LOL..

    I really hope this goes up preferably before Feb 2017(SB)....and then hopefully we can start getting some Res. high-rises and Office buildings in Midtown that way connecting the Med ctr to DT skyline....
