We live in the burbs. I constantly explain where downtown, midtown, and TMC are to my adult children. No use. As usual, In one ear out the other like light travelling in a vacuum. But then again I am only dad.

Went to a wedding at an Auberge resort in Hawaii. If this thing is half as beautiful as that, it will be a stunner.- 470 replies

Went through that during the Eastex freeway expansion. In an un-airconditioned pick up truck. Learned patience. Important once children entered the picture.

My daughters and I went to a Walmart in Honolulu e few weeks ago. Had an urban feel to it. Parking garage. Trying to get a break from Oahu prices.

Houston first is claiming this will add 1 million square feet to the GRB. How much of that is parking is unclear. Either way it will mostly likely propel the GRB toward the top 10 in terms of total space. I did not realize Houston attracted that many conventions.

Back in May 2013, my children and I just dodged the Moore Oklahoma tornado (EF 5). We had approx. a 15 minute warning. This was my second EF5, the first the 1966 Topeka tornado. We had 10 minute warning. Ten days after Moore, a 2.5 mile EF5 hit El Reno outside OKC, killing three experienced storm chasers ( the tornado unusually went NW to SE for a short while). I do not know what type of engineering has to be placed to protect people in a supertall skyscraper during an EF 5. I cannot imagine a building that size could be evacuated in time.

Guilty until proven innocent? A bit hysterical no?

I hate to knock one of the holy words of modern speech which is repeated ad nauseum, but diversity is a bad word to describe the rich tapestry of American life. The word is related to divorce, diverge, divide. in other words to separate. Much better to speak of E Publius Unum. I realize the word is hopelessly lost, much like the word decimate which means one tenth and now has replaced devastate.

Discovery West: Mixed-Use Development Downtown By Skanska
Twinsanity02 replied to Moore713's topic in Going Up!
I think our jungle -like heat and humidity during our summer may have more to do with no Olympics than a heavy rail system. Great for the vegetation though.- 1,104 replies

The Allen: Mixed-Use Development At Allen Parkway & Gillette St.
Twinsanity02 replied to jmontrose's topic in Going Up!
Glad tree roots are protected, but a bit leery on how slippery they are, especially after a rain. Suppose it is better than the sidewalk being lifted a foot up by tree roots. Moving in the right direction.- 1,659 replies

I will never understand economics and commerce. I can see Houston to Havana flights making sense financially, but Houston to Holgun?

Does anyone know how the Hardy toll road extension to downtown (if ever built) will connect to all this?

TMC Helix Park: Texas Medical Center Bio Research Campus
Twinsanity02 replied to Mab's topic in Going Up!
I think Monarch's "How on Earth Does This Even Happen" needs to be seriously studied. DFW has landed many economic plums in the last few years. Many more than Houston. This latest bit of news is humiliating considering the tens of thousands of biomedical professions in our city. I have my scapegoats; poor flood planning, bad media from previous tropical cyclones, and of course everyone's favorite, bungling politicians. In truth the answer is likely more complex. This hopefully will be a wake up call.- 1,250 replies

TxDOT Proposes Elevating I-10 near I-45
Twinsanity02 replied to Triton's topic in Traffic and Transportation
Not Including the ramps, I count it as a 48-lane roadway. Even larger than the current Katy or anything in Argentina or wherever. We win! Though I must admit to one fact I find difficult to believe. No eighteen wheelers? In Houston?- 190 replies

This is pathetic. How can anyone get their facts so twisted up? Good luck to you all if she becomes your mayor. If elected she will be a major representative of Houston, which is soon to receive enhanced publicity from the Moon landings and other events.

Under the "Shame of Texas" Are those quotes for real? Did she actually state those things? Some of these things suggest either misquotes, deep ignorance, or no respect for the public on her part.

I agree with much that you say. But one should not be surprised by what the teams are doing. Millions of people pay for clothing which gives free advertisement for companies or celebrities. The teams at least are getting some compensation.

My guess is that the exterior isn't as "sexy" as LA's or Atlanta or Dallas. I cannot think of anything else the place lacks. There are 30 stadiums. In terms of capacity we rank number eight. Is this because we have the 2nd or 3rd largest art museum in the US and now feel the football stadium should rank the same? Just asking.

Good thing folks in Hawaii didn't take that attitude. Hawaii has only one native palm species. There is no problem planting palms as long as done intelligently. There are many palms which can take our winter beside the Sabal minor: Pindo, European fan, Windmill, Lady palms, California Fan, several Sabal species as grown at Highland village. Look at all the palms in New Orleans and Pensacola. I think they give these places a certain tropical look.
