    Pretty cool. Although I am sure that will give several people the creeps of someone flying like a bat out of hell on the ground coming from a hole.

    That's funny. I'm wondering why do they have it marked the 28th.
  5. WesternGulf
    Definitely. I never knew it lit up like that at night. Great shot by the way.

    Congress members push light-rail funding

    To be fair I think that is kind of p.c. I think the comment was just based in ignorance as far as "black schools". It is also very p.c. to wonder why the black population is so high and why there are not that many whites. It is the same for almost every HBCU. If one answered their own question "Why?" they would see it is not TSU's fault as far as diversity.

    OK?

    Oh goodness. HBCU's were started because blacks would not be accepted at any other college so they started their own. That said, any race could still go to those schools. We could probably say systems like these are not needed anymore but they will always be HBCU's historically. Why take it away?

    Jan. 24, 2007, 1:29PM UH exploring proposal to start medical school Idea to partner with Methodist, Cornell comes amid projected doctor shortages By TODD ACKERMAN Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle In a move that would ratchet up an ongoing rivalry in the Texas Medical Center, the University of Houston is considering starting a medical school in partnership with The Methodist Hospital and Cornell University. The idea, quietly explored by UH leaders in recent months, comes amid appeals for medical school expansion because of projected statewide and nationwide doctor shortages. Houston now has two medical schools

    I can't b**** about this one.

    All of Florida, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Atlanta, San Jose, Austin or most large Texas cities (tiring), and Cleveland. Oh yeah and I know I am going to visit again and again because of family but LA is not a must for me either. Gotta agree with Cancun too. Outside the incredibly blue water bleh. Las Vegas has more culture.

    There's already a CVS at Main Street Square. This area of downtown has ZERO retail outside of restaurants and bars. Plus, Preston station has a hell of a lot more residential population surrounding it than Main Street Square.

    Ditto. There's nothing like it in the area. These are the type of businesses that will have you seeing actual residents walking around on a Sunday night.

    A metro of 5.3 million people does not need a light rail system at present? We should have started a long time ago. If you want to admit it or not, it is probably why we are having this problem now.

    Not all townhome developments are bad. Usually the ones in the East End above 300K have the best designs.

    Here are some photos I took about a week ago with the zoom lens focusing on the Medical Center.

    Huh? Part of my question was couldn't they extend the Post Oak Boulevard BRT to wherever the LRT turns away from Richmond, so that area will not be abandoned by public transportation for the folks who want to get off in Greenway and the Galleria except for Westpark? Atleast they won't be "railroading Richmond" which the AO crowd seems to be worried about.

    I thought that building with the curve was part of the Memorial Hermann expansion on Fannin.?.?
  20. WesternGulf
    That's unfortunate. They could have boxed in that parking lot with the development facing Richmond and Weslayan. Probably could have used a lot less land by mixing in the 500 apartments too. When will some folks learn?

    San Diego and Portland are probably the modern posterchilds.

    Washington DC's greatest streetwalls are usually lined up with the subway lines. Usually in older cities with the oldest transit systems such as Boston, DC, Philly, San Francisco, and Chicago, some of the greatest density is found above subway or rail lines. Some of DC's high density areas above subway lines.

    Question: Will everything west of Greenway Plaza, or where ever the rail is suppose to turn off, be abandoned by public transportation? If anything seems like the BRT route to the Galleria up Post Oak should start at Greenway Plaza where the light rail tuns off or will AO complain about that also? Better than nothing at all.
  24. WesternGulf
    There are only two lines that are suppose to start out as light rail and the small section that is suppose to link UH-Downtown to the Hardy Rail Yards. Evrything else will be BRT until ridership numbers justify rail. Correct?
  25. WesternGulf
    Why are you speaking as if this is the end all and be all of this city? It would be great if some residents had the option first. The Red Line totally contradicts the attitude that you try to paint on so many citizens.
