  1. Oh, and every time they show the loop on the traffic cam, there are a bunch of nice office buildings, and BAM! That nasty zone'd smut. Nasty.
  2. If anything, we should have something distinctly Houston, while being urban at the same time. Something that is unique, and HOUSTON only. In a way, that street, while nice, somewhat gives off the vibes of a Post Apartment development(cliched, etc). And yes, I agree about that "class" comment. Class is about character, NOT wealth.
  3. They mostly have walking trails (they are keeping the trees that are there) and maybe some nice retail, maybe rice village style, in front of the water, too.
  4. Maybe we need to build a nice shelter like Austin did, then...
  5. Hmm..Maybe I can jack the prices up on the boxes that hold all of our Christmas gifts...
  6. At the Kirksey architectural firm website, they have something about a new Galleria Hotel...
  7. I third it! If anything, it looks like a tall version of a suburban office building with a dome! yuck!
  8. I really love what they did with this building- the preservation of history (the Nabisco signs are still up), the modern industrial elements, etc. I wish they'd do more of this around the city!
  9. I read somewhere that they want to bring lots of activity to that place, (Chron, I think) and they might even bring vendors and stuff in or something.
  10. Any retail? I see some parking, but no signs... OH, and it looks pretty cool, too! Beats the Calais!
  11. Is this the same as the "big park" announced a few weeks back?
  12. *holds head in hands* Im just waiting for the leech exhibit to open.
  13. Where do you post from, anyway? Interesting stuff, BTW. Any chance you could squat in the old Sheraton Marquis, or whatever it is called?
  14. I was thinking it could have been one of the BOTSW proposals, or something....
  15. I was bowsing around, and I ran into this: http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/589/28houston_future02.jpg What is that tower with the "bowl" on top? Ive never seen this before!
