    Chase Tower windows are blowing out.
  2. desirous
    The noise will make sure of it. Hard to sleep with the sound of toppling trees.
  3. desirous
    From the main thread, taken by me:
  4. desirous
    I took the pictures, they're my neighbors. :lol: Us foolhardy downtowners standing up for the God-given right to be crazy!
  5. desirous
    Trees toppling downtown. Residents running around on street posing for pictures. Hope the glass on Chase Tower holds.
  6. desirous
    An excuse to party. Speaking of which, I'll check up on my fellow drunk residents... they've moved down to the community room, it got crazy on the garage roof.

    Downtown is doing fine. Moderate wind, moderate rain, nothing special yet. Power, water, and cable all up and going.
  8. desirous
    Utilities DT should be fine, right? I don't remember if the power/water went out in downtown during Alicia, just all the glass everywhere.

    I was drinking on the parking garage roof with a bunch of neighbors here at the Rice. We're all batshit crazy. It's windy up there.

    Let's not forget our tax money going toward road maintenance. Roads are subsidized just like transit, except the bill's a lot higher. I never understood pro-highway people that argue on a tax basis... concrete is expensive.

    The Rice is hosting a hurricane party tomorrow night. I wonder if we'll get any Kirin from Azuma, that's my storm drink there.

    Opportunity cost isn't that bad once you balance out the positive with the negative. The flip side of longer commute times is opportunity to rest, read, or work; and the reduction in stress from driving in traffic. Transit is great when applied correctly. It's impossible to wean a city like Houston off automobiles, nor is that a desirable outcome.

    The new scheme is wonderful. I live DT and can live without morons going down Travis at 60mph trying to catch all the greens.
  14. desirous
    Can't think of any right now. Nothing beats the 1960/249 intersection of yore.
  15. desirous
    How's the traffic at that light in the mornings?
  16. desirous
    Rice, yes. UH, maybe in 10 years.

    That's a bummer. It sure doesn't look like two months' worth of work. Phrasing may be key here -- I'm 99% certain the westbound mainlanes will open before the new HOV facility.
  18. desirous
    Within a couple weeks, by the looks of it.

    I should've stuck with an architecture major back in college, if only I knew people get paid oodles to design this ____.
  20. desirous
    Now they just need to pipe over a few refinery flares.

    Free market - variable-priced tollways are a step toward that. Corporations - no. I don't want my freeways named after shampoo and dog food.
  22. desirous
    Calm down, I was joking about the statement having funky grammar and not being very professional in tone.
  23. desirous
    There are family and friends, people that remember when it opened.
  24. desirous
    Oh, I thought that was her exact wording.
  25. desirous
    I'm quite fond of the Galleria; it's just that Houston deserves something else after 38 years.
