  1. Note: This shopping center gets packed on Saturdays, it's very hard to find a parking spot. You either have to wait for someone to leave or hope you can find one a long walk away from where you are headed but even those are hard to find since it has so many different buildings.
  2. I could see a large AT crane off in the distance from downtown and I was racking my mind as to what it could possibly be lifting. The building trapped the portable tower crane and it had no way to get out. Crane Master Inc. showed up to remove it. I asked one of the workers when the Charles and the smaller building would be finished, he said probably in about 3 months.
  3. Mural artist https://www.instagram.com/detour303/ finished his mural. Mural artist https://www.instagram.com/mrd1987/ wall is looking close to being finished.
  4. Mural artist https://www.instagram.com/jdlstreetart/ wall is looking close to being finished on the Holiday Inn parking garage. gonzo247 mural is progressing after they came up with a new way to finish it, hanging scaffold.
  5. They had an official presentation and walk for the murals, unfortunately I couldn't hang around for it. Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis was going to be one of the speaker. They set up on Main St. across from the Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf murals.
  6. When I was working at a shipyard early one winter morning right before work started a very strong cold front moved in. It had extremely strong winds associated with it and broke the moorings line to a car carrier ship. First the bow lines broke and the wind swung the ship around until the aft mooring lines broke. 2 tugs and a small push boat rushed to pin it against the dry dock at Newpark Shipbuilding. If those tugs hadn't been close by I thought it was going to hit the bridge beams on the south bank. They jut out at about a 40 degree angle over the water to support the bridge.
  7. Maybe Chaad Whitmire already cancelled MS2.0?
  8. Mural being done at Shell Stadium by https://www.instagram.com/dragon76art/
  9. The owner of the ship that crashed into the Baltimore bridge faces a mountain of potential lawsuits. Experts say the owner will likely try to invoke an 1851 law to try to cap potential damages. The Limitation of Liability Act was successfully used by the Titanic owner after the 1912 sinking. From potential wrongful death lawsuits to property damage lawsuits, the owner of the container ship that crashed into a major Baltimore bridge, destroying it, can expect to face a mountain of legal troubles. Analysts have already estimated that claims from the deadly early Tuesday disaster that caused Maryland's Francis Scott Key Bridge to abruptly collapse could cost insurers billions of dollars. Three maritime legal experts told Business Insider that the owner of the Singapore-flagged vessel called the Dali will almost certainly invoke a 19th-century federal law — that was successfully used by the owner of the Titanic— to try to limit its liability in the bevy of lawsuits that are expected to arise. "If they're fully successful, it will cap how much they have to pay in damages," Michael Sturley, an expert in maritime law and professor at the University of Texas at Austin's School of Law, told BI. Grace Ocean Private Ltd, the owner of the 95,000-ton Dali ship that was bound for Sri Lanka before smashing into one of the bridge's support pillars, has about six months to file a petition in federal court under the 1851 Limitation of Liability Act. Grace Ocean Private Ltd did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider on Thursday. "The chances of their filing a limitation action are somewhere north of 99.99%," Sturley said. https://www.yahoo.com/news/owner-ship-crashed-baltimore-bridge-201630179.html
  10. Taking over the old 59 Dinner. https://pinkertonsbarbecue.com/location/houston/ Architect - https://www.identityarchitects.com
  11. Hardwood Bargains moved down a couple doors so Pacific Coast Tacos could take over their old location. The Wescott St. location of Pacific Coast seems to do well, every time I go by there are a lot of cars. The building behind this shopping center is gone.
  12. I wonder where they came up with the name Chaucer? 🤷‍♂️
