    I really like the letters in the building. I actually prefer this rendering over the precious one.

    There were plans for a super tall before the recession. Deyaar? I'm not sure, I know it had Dubai connections. Maybe a revival?

    Is that a balcony on the bottom floor corners? Yikes! Not because it is Downtown, but anywhere, if the bottom floor apartment has such a small fence it can detour potential residents from seeking them.

    Yes please let's get rid of one of our rare insiders to development. Genius. As discussed a few pages ago, the apartments will not block anything but surface lots behind it towards Downtown. The Skyline is barely visible from the stadium, apart from the very top of the seats.

    It's a start - but I think we will have more in common with Los Angeles overall.

    Crosby @ Allen Parkway (Look directly north of it on google earth).

    Awesome pictures triton! I've always loved that angle of the Houston Center & Fullbright.

    I would like to add Mancuso's Italian Table to the list. Such wonderful food & wine. I think they closed a month ago. Anyone know the history of this place?

    Could I download it on a Mac? The last scary game I played was Alan Wake.

    Thanks for the heart attack. I screamed like a toddler when I played return to caslte wolfenstein (when that huge dude attacks). I do love scary games. Is this on the computer only?

    Grew up in Spring and after going to school in Abilene moved into Houston proper. Don't ever want to move to the suburbs.

    Is it just me or did the project sink 4 floors?

    She must be joking. Intercontinental, Hilton Americas, and the Marriott in the Woodlands immediately come to mind.

    Speaking of fashionistas, I saw Houston mentioned in BA's magazine about our "fashion" week. Does the Architectual Digest mention any specific structures (new), in their article?

    That City Hall plan was GORGus.

    The Gay bars are over - that is for sure. All of them are slowly becoming the same exact bar. There is no point in bar hopping.

    I agree. I'm completely shocked they opened up in the suburbs first. I thought they were supposed to have opened on at BLVD Place? Anyways, If they did open one up It wouldn't be much competition with XXI, as they are essentially the same store.

    yaaaaasss!!!! Finally, Downtown gets a flashy Hotel. Edit: I like how Macy's is still in the rendering.

    They opened it up for traffic today, but restricted to daylight movement only. It will open up again at 0500. Collisions like this are rare. Fog is more of a seasonal issue. Trust me if the companies running the terminals/plants/refineries were worried about these small disruptions they would have built along the coast along time ago. Vessels are held up due to congestion more than anything.

    Or a night club. But I agree opening a dark underground space to the general public might attract undesirables. (It would be the drug dealers, not the homeless I'm worried about).I thought there were ideas floating around. I really like the paintball idea. You have to go to the far flung suburbs for that.
  21. Montrose1100
    Yuppies for sure. The antique stores' prices now compete with crate & barrel.
  22. Montrose1100
    The essence? Turn it into a haunted house? "Keep" it a spiritual place? I think we have enough churches in this town, it should utilized for out door activity, like paint balling. That's what parks are for. And the Budweiser amphitheater is goin up on the other side of the bayou.
  23. Montrose1100
    Those last two ideas are the best i've heard.

    Facebook is blowing up with photos. I think I have seen this from every angle.
  25. Montrose1100
    It reminds me of a photo I've seen of the abandoned subways of Rochester. What could one do with it?
