    The Crown Plaza Hotel in the Texas Medical Center was imploded today to make way for the Texas Childrens Hospital's expansion. View when we first arrived at approximately 6:00 a.m. today. The media was there: This one guy set up his camera and tripod, I think it was KevinfromTexas: Sun came up and the crowds increased: The kid on the right was the person selected to push the button; he's the son of some big shot with Texas Childrens Hospital - Dude with cap on left: Shots of the demolition crew, and set up of the trigger box: Wait a minute, the kids supposed to push that: Helicopter circling the area:

    Methodist plans hospital on west side Completion of 192-bed facility expected in 2010 By LYNN COOK Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle The Methodist Hospital System will spend $300 million to build a 192-bed hospital in west Houston, hospital executives announced Friday. The hospital, with an emergency room, open-heart surgery capability and cancer treatment areas, will be on the north side of the Katy Freeway just west of Barker Cypress, Methodist president and CEO Ron Girotto said in a statement. Construction is scheduled to start early next year, with completion by 2010. The Methodist hospital site is directly next door to a 55-acre tract where construction will begin on Texas Children's Hospital West in 2008. That $220 million pediatric project is expected to be complete in 2010 as well. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/5290481.html

    Just a look around on Windows Live, looks like there's an empty field just to the west and a street level parking lot just south of that. I'm definately going to try to go and get a good position with a videocamera and camera. Hope I can get some clear shots. If I do I'll post them as soon as possible afterwards.

    It does look like the old Mervyn's location, but if you notice, the rendering looks like it still has the Mervyn's bld in it, and it has been torn down for awhile now.

    If I'm not mistaken, this is the block that will be demolished? On the bottom: And to the right: And this is what I found on Windows Live Local, the block in the middle: If so, though I prefer older buildings than new glass skyscrapers, I think this new office tower will be an improvement here. ..
