    I really liked the Houston skyline I made and figured it was a good avatar for a Houston forum

    That poor lawn

    According to Swamplot, permits for "a 4,297-sq.-ft. pavilion, a ticket canopy, and a bathroom building" have been approved, as well as "broader sitework". They liked Hindesky's photo (and gave him credit) Here's the site plans for reference (I hadn't seen zoomed in versions)

    Pretty impressivlely fast too considering they had parking garage floors to do first before the residential - this one seems to be all concrete construction, none of that "wood" stuff

    I just noticed - are the pictures indicating location (east end, downtown, travelling haifer, etc) gone? Or am I just not seeing them for some reason?

    I see pizza storage racks

    Looks like they are trying to make the Final Four http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2016/03/24/dual-branded-downtown-hotel-to-open-soon.html?ana=RSS%26s%3Darticle_search&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+bizj_houston+%28Houston+Business+Journal%29

    Maybe a "No Left Turn" sign?

    They think that they are in the suburbs and making a holiday inn?

    New name confirmed

    A lot of that land is owned by Metro. I agree that they should do something about it - though I suspect that some of the land is being banked for commuter rail station platforms and the University line station platforms. However, right now it should be one of the busiest interchange terminals in the system and instead it feels like a place you want to leave asap. It probably affects the ridership of the New Bus Network(tm)

    It's difficult to get to from the freeway exits that are there, it's not super on the way for people going to/from the med center, it's not the nicest walk from Wheeler to that location, and remember a McDonald's that was at Richmond and Main closed too a while back

    Found an answer for you on Quora

    Having a high speed train frequented by business people that would be served by a light rail extension would help that extension go through

    It is that private company's money to waste. It's not any of our money, unless you're one of their investors. A private rail line being scuttled now, even if it doesn't go to downtown, makes it even less likely any company would try it again in the future.

    I count 35 floors completed and windowed in the tower itself 3 floors completed concrete wise 1 floor for the pool deck 2 floors of podium(?) That would bring the count to 40 full floors, 1 rooftop floor, and another story above it for the crown

    I was wondering how you were supposed to get to it...

    Nice new street lights

    There's a window decal on the Main street side - "Making history again" Anyone know the history of this block?

    So building this loop through developed areas is fine, but building a high speed link to Dallas and Houston from here is bad?
  22. cspwal
    That would be for around the jails and courthouse though. MMP is a bit further east and south
  23. cspwal
    I believe it's pronounced similar to Speedo
  24. cspwal
    How about "North Union" since there's already a south Union?
  25. cspwal
    Like the picture. HATE the name. "Neado"? What is that even short for? "Near Downtown"? - no its in downtown. North East downtown maybe? Still doesn't seem right especially since they have a GIANT baseball stadium right next door to name the area after. NE downtown would be where city lofts is, where there are still plenty of vacant lots
