Taken yesterday from MFAH:

View from BBVA Compass Stadium

I noticed they were installing the "bhp billiton" sign at the top of the Post Oak side of the building yesterday. Wasn't able to get a picture.

Messed up my formatting. Mods please delete this post.

Not sure when, but I know people wanted better vista's of downtown so they took some down to clear the view.

I'm talking about the sign that says Oxy now. It's always been Citgo in the past.

Wait when did they replace the Citgo sign? Not a fan of the new look.

Hyatt Place:

Washington Ave extension and Franklin closure. 

Please tell me this a realistic possibility? It makes a ton of sense and would really beautify that portion of the Bayou downtown in addition to making it easily accessible to whatever is built on the site. 

This is perfect.

It just pushes the perimeter.

^ Precisely. Can't wait to see the impact it has once it's finished.

Sorry if this has already been asked but is it going to have ground floor retail/restaurant space? 

^^^ wonderful illustrations channeltwonews!  however, that beacon at the very top.... ugh...

I have a feeling that when this thing is completely finished and lit up at night, you'll change your opinion.
