Charlotte's annual rainfall is significantly less than Houston's. And it's not just annual rainfall that matters.  How it arrives also matters.  Do they get 8 inch downpours like we had Wednesday without any flooding?

I have lived in both Houston and Orlando area. Yes Orlando does give heavy downpours in a short time span but the difference comes down to the soil. Orlando and Florida in general is all sand and porous limestone base soil. The water get absorbed into the ground far easier and faster than the clay soil in Houston. That does create another issue of sinkholes in Florida that we really don't have to deal with here, but in relation to flooding it helps them tremendously.

Yeah, and there's no high rise farther north on TC Jester as it would appear in the photo. Confusing.

 

But with the just completed complex on TC Jester & the railroad tracks AND the development just down the street at the Washington circle getting bulldozed, the western Washington Corridor / Rice Military is really picking up.

 

What's the over/under for the building on the NW corner (next to El tiempo market) getting bulldozed and developed into an apartment complex?

Yeah I think that the building next to El Tiempo market will not last more than a year before it gets torn down. Although I think that space being a little smaller is going to end up as some commercial use rather than a full apartment complex. Still anything has to be better than a two story building with all Chattahoochee walls. Yuck

Looking at the Plat app (the pdf), does that mean Marshall Construction Company is buying the chihuahua dump yard? That place needs to go or get a better fence.

Thanks for info, hopefully some useful things will go up in the neighborhood.

Yes anything to replace that eyesore would be an improvement to the area.
