    They need something medicinal to get things flowing. Seem plugged up. To use an Abe Lincoln expression ( when speaking of George McClellan) , they have "the slows" .

    I do not have problems with people living on the streets and refusing all assistance offered to them. I do have a problem with them urinating and defecating wherever and whenever they please. I have been on metro buses where passengers ( mainly urban and black )gave up rows of seats to get away from the smell. You seem to think folks in the city have no problems with this and it is only suburbanites . You are very wrong.

    Without using obscenities what is the label on the architectural style of buildings you all call the Godzilla? I can't find anything. I do agree it looks difficult.

    Where do you get these photos Urbannizer? Most have a wow factor. This last one gives the impression of one big massive skyline. At night it must look marvelous. Thanks

    Is the park government or privately owned land?

    I agree. This as well as all the other projects are creating a positive feedback cycle. Waiting of the Great Southwestern. This will make six apartments/ hotels up within a few blocks of each other. It is going to have a decisive impact.

    I assume to qualify for bobruss "Mt. Rushmore" it has to be a highrise office or apartment/condo. If not I would list the county building complex near Main St, the numerous parking garages, and most "brutalist" style buildings including unfortunately UT-Medical School at the TMC. I don't know about the "Godzilla tower", have to research that one.

    I thought it was a not very good imitation of the Pompidou center in Paris.

    It is the lower section of the building which is repugnant. The rest is appealing. No idea how to soften the concrete wall. I suppose if we fall back to European 9th and 10th century conditions ( vikings raids etc) he will be one up on the rest of us.

    I am puzzled. Economics, Commerce, or Real Estate are not my forte perhaps one of you can explain this. Why are so many supertalls or near supertalls going up in Manhattan ( One Vanderbilt, Hudson Yards. World Trade Center buildings etc ) yet we are struggling to get this building up? I know Manhattan has a huge number of attractions, but it also has a huge number of hassles and very high rent. This site in downtown Houston is not without some charms. It seems like a great site.

    What a beauty she was. Painful to think of the loss. I suppose there was no way ( or desire) to save her. What a loss.

    There are workers on the site on Sunday. Seen this on other Sundays. Wonder what the rush is ? Must up construction costs, I think.

    Great old photo. Can see the old Foley's/Macy's building. Have no idea what building is just north of them. How is the Melrose redevelopment coming along?

    Thanks for sharing enriquewx91. I think the Skyhouse main street #2 and the cranes for the 609 are visible. Soon the Aris will come into view. Love this stuff.
  16. Twinsanity02
    Any news, rumors, drunken drivel, anything, on when these segments are opening?
  17. Twinsanity02
    Think I see the 609 popping up to the right of the Chase building. By next autumn the Aris will add it's contribution to the skyline. It is looking great.

    800 Bell is scheduled for remodeling next month? When was this announced?
  19. Twinsanity02
    Art deco style, correct? Never mind.

    Good construction cam view of this building from the oxblue cam for Skyhouse3

    There is some reference when Hanover River Oaks is googled to it being a 39 story building. Maybe it is a typo?
  22. Twinsanity02
    If you love watching traffic this is definitely the place to live. Boy are they close to the freeway!
  23. Twinsanity02
    Where can this construction cam be found?
  24. Twinsanity02
    Thanks for the info. Did not realize all the "Highlands" in the Metroplex. Would not like to end up in the wrong one when when visiting.

    ps. I was confused also until I looked it up.
