    Cancelled about a decade ago and a midrise apartment complex has been on that site for years.

    I used to do my evening walks throughout that area and those lights do a good job of lighting the area and are more efficient as most of the light is reflected down rather than outward.

    interesting. i worked for them briefly in 2000-2001 when they had offices in the flower district.

    i think everything is on hold ever since the economy tanked so it might be a while before the knock those buildings down. @ citykid, ive been around. i mainly lurk.

    saw that two. black fence all the way around Eatzies. new shrubs along the street so i'm not sure what the deal is. i wouldn't think they would landscape before demolition.

    i usually dont care for those boxy cars like the scion b or nissan cube but that gmc granite is pretty sharp.

    i think if it was where the kona grille is now, it would have faired better but the galleria III was too desolate and cut off from rest of mall.

    they are. the eatzi's building still has all the signs because the building is vacant and is going to be knocked down eventually.

    how can anyone confuse this: with this: ? and the "UH" in UHD is an asset to that school because UofH is widely viewed as a decent university so the association with it should be highlighted. i transfered from UH (central) to UHD after a semester...because UHD had far more evening classes and i like the fact that i still have 'university of houston' on my diploma. also have a masters from UHCL.

    we were there along allen parkway as well.

    says who?

    having attended UH, UHD, and UHCL (got degrees from latter two) any confusion as to the ambiguity of these colleges is quickly dispelled during the application process. if UH is has obstacles in becoming a top university, it will be because of it's own merits, not because of some open enrollment school with a similar name.

    this is great news. this being houston, not a whole lot of value on landmarks from the private sector and wouldn't put it past some greedy developer to knockover the waterwall and build some cheesy "themed" condo towerin its place.

    i gradumagated from UHD in 2001 and i'd hate to seem them change the name. if you're looking into going to college or are a student, you should have no problem figuring out that UH and UHD are two separate entities. starting with the two very distinct logo's for each school, separate application process not too mention the lack of shasta or anything else referring to UH. if they do change it, i'd rather have it have somewhat of a collegiate sounding name rather some PC contrived crap like "university of hopes and dreams"

    tolerance bridge was probably named by the same people proposing to rename UHD the "university of hopes and dreams" and if you have a problem with that...you will be brought in for some sensitivity training.

    the mall needs to be put out of its misery but the houston jewlery exchange is booming and they could take over the mall.

    i'm just wondering what they are going to do with that sales center. the turnberry tower was over the top...$8 million dollar views of the southwest freeway, a mall and a parking garage?
  20. jmancuso
    i saw the entire building flicker on and off when the storm hit. i can see it from my bedroom window.

    i hate flying.

    weiners!

    becuase it's strictly a commuter school and caters more to an older crowd rather than the type who would need student housing. as for the name, they should leave it alone. i'm a 2001 graduate and like the association with the university of houston system. so far, the suggestion that i do like are: # City University of Houston # Houston University # Houston University of Science and the Arts # Milam University # Travis University # University of Arts & Technology - Houston as for these names, WTF?: # Bluebonnet University (no, not for an urban university) # Gulf Breeze State (a university or feminine products?) # Houston Opportunity University (not just no, but hell no) # Maverick University (mccain fanboys?) # University of Hopes & Dreams (why not name it barack obama university?)

    star pizza is OK but i'm italian and from the northeast so it doesn't quite fit the bill as being really good pizza. so far, napoli is my favorite.

    one can only hope.
