University Debates: Sports, Fundings, And Developments
Twinsanity02 replied to VicMan's topic in Off Topic
Maybe we will get lucky and the University of Kansas at Lawrence will open an institute here. Bring some class. Rock Chalk Jayhawk. -
I agree with HoustonIsHome. As much as I love living in the suburbs , I hope the TMC does not suburbanize. Have all those research institutes and medical facilities within walking distance is truly great. It creates an academic electricity to the area. I hope it stays that way. I have a feeling that this UT research facility will only be partially biomed so I do not see it as causing suburbanization of TMC. It is most likely going to be a sore spot for UH ambitions to become a top tier research university. Academic waters tend to be shark infested.

Cold Meds worn off. This is what I understand to be happening. The UT Research Campus is not part of the Texas Medical Center, but independent of it. Scientific research of all types will be conducted there as in any major university. The Texas Medical Center announced in September plans for a thirty acre development near OST and the bayou called TMC3. Then of course there is all the other projects with Texas Childrens and Hermann Memorial etc. Tough to keep up with all this. I feel for the folks in Dubai.

So this is not the collaborative research facilities the TMC president calls TMC3? This is something completely different, correct? There is so much construction and planned construction in Houston it can make my head spin. Maybe it's the cold meds.

Someone please clear something up for me. I did biomed research for several years at UT Medical school at theTMC. There are numerous UT facilities throughout the med center, many conducting research. It looks very impressive but what is the purpose? How would this be integrated with the core of the TMC? Is it anywhere near the rail line?

The Travis: Multifamily High-Rise At 3300 Main St.
Twinsanity02 replied to Urbannizer's topic in Midtown
Did I miss the statement on the groundbreaking date? Another Haifer on another forum , I believe the Fairfield apartment forum, said that soon Main St. will be lined from the bayou to I-69 with midrises or highrises. I believe he is essentially correct. What a difference from the wasteland it was two decades ago.- 604 replies

The Astoria: Condominium High-Rise At 1405 Post Oak Blvd.
Twinsanity02 replied to wxman's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
Over 25 years ago a book was written tongue in cheek called the Nine Nations of North America. Houston was labeled a crossroad between three nations: The Breadbasket, Dixie, and Mex-America. Despite the jest there are elements of truth to this observation. This area is also considered a biological crossroad due to its assortment of eastern and western vegetation and being the upper northern boundary of tropical vegetation. This may partially explain the difficulty of giving our metro area a cute label. It may also explain our variety of, well, everything including architecture. Our topography may be boring, but very little else.- 988 replies

I used to work construction ( back when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth). If I recall correctly we did not pour concrete if there was a serious rain threat. Anyone know the guidelines these days?

I just looked it up. The Quilt festival is going from October 29th to All Saints Day. Been there. They have beautiful and amazing quilts. Some are works of art. Sorry for the off topic

I've traveled in Siberia. Calling these soviet architecture is a bit of a stretch. The communist apartment buildings are pathetic made with almost no consideration to quality. Our Russian friends were reticent to show them to us. Many had a Pruitt-Igoe appearance without the sense of criminal menace. One hopes no builder could possibly make this junk here in the USA.

Could someone knowledgeable in the ways of real estate explain how this beautiful condo will be constructed soon, yet the 40 story block 98 apartment tower near the sports and convention center as well as rail access to the theater and museum districts is being delayed.

One would hope cspwal. Do not know what is more loathsome, downtown surface parking lots or hideous parking garages like the Chronicle garage. Glad to see they are disappearing.

I was under the impression that the I-69 to I-45 segment was on schedule for completion at the end of 2015. I know the wet Spring slowed things down, but since late May it has been fairly dry. I wonder if penalties will be invoked.

Hilton Hampton Inn/Homewood Suites Hotels At 710 Crawford St.
Twinsanity02 replied to Houston19514's topic in Downtown
I took a tour of the Med center/Museum district/ Montrose/ Midtown and Downtown areas on Saturday. I was surprised there were not more people walking around. Especially around midtown. By my un-scientific perception midtown appears the most densely populated. It was a beautiful day. Left perplexed, though everything looks great in all the areas I visited.- 486 replies

Holiday/Days/Heaven On Earth Inn At 801 St. Joseph Pkwy.
Twinsanity02 replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
A very minor point. They are placing cold hardy palms in a protected location. The new Holiday Inn on Main is placing Queen palms in a location exposed to cold north winds, which they will regret. These trees will look beautiful if properly taken care of.
