It's not that they can't buy any food, but that the selection nearby is primarily prepackaged and more expensive due to it being sold at the corner store instead of a larger grocery chain. The theory is that folks that can't afford transport end up eating whatever's available within walking distance which can be less healthy and more expensive. It's one of the fad theories on why the poor and less educated have higher obesity rates.

Well duh?! Because they're poor and less educated.

On a more serious note. I agree it's a fad theory which leads me to question why it is even being entertained by people at large.

I would go one step farther and prohibit all begging. No permits.

A travesty. I think it would have been quite the stir had they built this in midtown.

They would have claimed most of midtown. We might even have had to change the name from midtown to simply: Exxon City, Houston.

Now THAT would've been awesome. Seeing one company claim all of midtown Houston. With all those buildings? Awesome.

It seems to me this notion of food deserts is quite silly. I don't understand why ppl cannot buy food.

They should all be banned from soliciting on any abd all roadways.

If ppl want internet access they should pay for it. Period.

They were out of fresh garlic last night. Wth?

The blueberries had no price on them or their spot on the shelf. I asked the produce guy how much they cost. He said "I think they're like 3.99". I stood there looking at him. He stood there looking at me. Until it finally dawned on him that he should probably go look it up.

I'll never go here again. Ugh.

Should make a nice addition to the skyline.

I thought there was already a lawsuit in the works against this project.

I don't know about that, however, if construction is proceeding the lawsuit might not be a big deal. Right?

This is good. It appears opposition was minimal.

If autocorrect wrote the wrong word, why wouldn't you just fix it without pointing it out and asking for forgiveness all in the same post?

Doesn't make sense.

Simple. It's a conspiracy.

I agree Houstonishome... the more the merrier!

Ok... I opine this is a little too far out and visitors to our city might mistake it for downtown.

Remind me never to go to Filly.

I'm on a mobile device. Are there any renderings? I do hope the crown is flashy. It would be fitting for this part of town.

I think most of us are hoping so, but as we have seen time after time, things don't tend to go according to plan.

I know. I hope that this bucks the trend of construction grinding to a halt just as the economy pulls the rug out from under projects suvh as this.

In the summer those future towers will provide badly needed shade.

It seems progress is fast on this or is it just me?

Why the heck would they need to sell trucks? Why not sell chevy trucks?

I bet it's some kind of brand/sales cannibalization thing.

Hopefully it will be taller than the Huntingdon. And I hope it gets a really unique crown/spire.

A refreshing change a the sea of glass boxes.

I like it.

Cool. What's LINK stand for?

GMC Sierra>Chevy Silverado

There is no real difference between these two is there? Just different stickers.

Metro has zip cars parked overnight in the lot north of their bldg.

What are zip cars?
