Houston CBD Poised For Building Boom
UrbaNerd replied to houstonfella's topic in Houston Real Estate
The print edition of the HBJ article is available online even for non subscribers now. http://houston.bizjournals.com/houston/sto...3672000^1429210 A few excerpts: (for those interested: http://www.tphifer.com/) -
Personally, I have always preferred the Kohn Pedersen Fox proposal over the competition victor, designed by Jahn; it looks too similar to the Liberty Place towers in Philadelphia, also done by Jahn.

GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
UrbaNerd replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
*raises hand...sort of* I'm probably the only person who still wears Rugby shirts, distressed baggy cargo pants, and Doc Martens(older pairs made in England; not the crappy new Chinese ones). Oh, and of course, no one else wears Eddie Bauer anymore, either. Heck, I have some 15 year old t shirts from EB (that I gladly took from my dad, who never wears em anymore, anyway). They still look better than most of the graphic tees these days that fall apart after like 3 months. -

I guess the groundhog didn't see his shadow, then! No waiting 6 more weeks for a "groundbreaking date"! -
The proposed one, I meant. If the article means the existing one, then whoops! My mistake!

"At the Houstonian Estates, there are only three apartments listed, and one is going to go sale-pending this week." Does this mean The Houstonian was "un-cancelled"?

GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
UrbaNerd replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
ech, I'm sick of waiting; let's make our own damn temporary Pavilions, and hold a groundbreaking ceremony, as well. Bring some tents, liquor, a guitar, a shovel, and some chairs, and we'll be set. Hopefully, we can have our own groundbreaking before the police arrive. -

Funny photo caption contest...
UrbaNerd replied to jm1fd's topic in Houston Construction, Home Repair, and Improvement
A certain paint job that had to be done by the people who will do the work Americans don't WANT to do. You were supposed to paint the OUTSIDE of the taco truck, amigos, not the inside! -
The worst part is the fact that you can't really eat solid foods until like two weks after the surgery. They leave the wounds open(with somesuturing in certain places) to allow them to heal(the clots must be maintained), and they must be kept clean.. There is no real "pain" during, or after; just general discomfort, as well as some fever-like symptoms experienced when the body fights off any potential infections that may occur in the sites. The best part...is the medication they give you for the pain afterwards.

I gave up soda in August. It really works wonders; I have lost 23 lbs since then(with a relatively small amount of exercise; perhaps a walk two-four times a week). I stopped exercising a lot after my wisdom teeth removal(in Nov), and have stayed at the same weight since. I'll start working out again, once I feel like it.

Lets get Houston Booming again
UrbaNerd replied to Montrose1100's topic in General Houston Discussions
If they can have a "Port of Dallas", then most of these ideas should be doable. -
