I wish they'd do something about the parking garage for Allen Center, and 1600 Smith. Also demolish the Doubletree hotel and the parking structure in front of it and build a few residential/mixed-use structures, this part of Downtown needs some diversity. The Theater District Master Plan should help.

OMG YES! Couldn't agree more!

I'm going to be very sad when the construction is over. The city will look static.  And, it won't be fun to look at. 

More will come in the coming years, I'm sure of it.

Chris,

 

While the photo updates are HUGELY appreciated, could you please post only lower-resolution versions in the threads with the ability to click to see the full ones?  As it is now, each photo is around 5 MB, which means each of your posts is around 100 MB (twice the size of downloading the average music album!), making it impossible to even read these threads on a slower connection.  If you could please embed maybe 500 KB images (1/10 the file size), it would make things a lot easier for many of us.  Thank you!

 

Just opening a few of these threads would use up a typical mobile user's entire monthly allocation of bandwidth, for example.

 

Keep the photos coming, please, just please don't embed the original images.

Gotcha!

Was there a posted photo with every one of those Flickr links? I gave up on waiting for everything to load. The LTE network on my phone couldn't handle it. Lol..

Lmao, sorry, I thought with the amount of pictures, it would start a new page, but I guess not...sorry guys! Had a little too much fun.

Noticeably taller crane!
