    And that's still a lot of people. Not to mention cities that host it usually get a landmark building or attraction.

    Seems like activity is picking up at HAIF.

    Speaking of I-45, when is it going to be extended north to Kansas City?
  4. Trae
    Nope.

    I like this idea. Would especially be good when the Panama Canal expansion is complete in a couple of years.

    The Grand is the actually mall in the middle of the ring road. The JC Penney and Cinemark is just the "lead in" into the mall (or lifestyle center...whatever they want to call it). Then, you have the Westside Marketplace from Mason Road over the 99. I think they are trying to make this area of Katy resemble the Stonebriar area of Frisco, Texas (North Dallas suburb). They should just make it another enclosed air-conditioned mall, because that lifestyle center stuff is getting old.

    Well, I think my knowledge of DFW has gone up pretty high since moving here months ago, so I can help with posting developments and things.

    Haslet, Texas? There is nothing in Haslet. I can see Keller though. As far as Katy goes, there is definitely a lot of potential retail growth, especially when the Grand Parkway is finished. The mall at the I-10 at 99 intersection should be open by then.

    What kind of help would you need?

    Don't think anyone thought it was, since the study wasn't even suppose to be complete until this year anyway. As far as Dallas offices moving here, I doubt Exxon is moving their corporate HQ to Houston (already said they won't). But, Exxon strangely picked Irving randomly for their HQ years ago, so maybe they change their mind at the last minute again and relocate to Houston.

    what's up a&m bulldawg from city-data.

    I think it's coming with the way they're talking about gas prices going up.

    Isn't there suppose to be a mixed-use development at the Wheeler Station? This could be it... And who knows, with the economy looking like its on the rebound and with Metro hopefully starting construction on the University/Blue line soon, maybe it'll happen. I'm pretty sure some kind of TOD will go into the Wheeler Station area.

    Yeah, because I think Dallas is the only Texas city with a NYE event (though I'm sure SA has one). They're clever, in that they always have a Stars game that lets out right when "Big D NYE" starts. Hopefully Glowrama grows. I believe the Rockets usually have a NYE game at home. Maybe they could try directing a lot of the crowd towards Discovery Green (what a great development this is turning out to be). They need to put some fireworks on the top of the GRB.

    http://www.bizjourna...-slam-dunk.html Magic Johnson and his new investment partner plan on turning the Hotel Icon Downtown into either a W Hotel or Ritz Carlton (within the next 45 days). Just in time for the Final Four this April, too.

    Interesting. Nice to see the Katy area continue to grow up.

    LOL, the hood side of Andre Johnson was present today against the Titans.

    Time to let this food digest and get ready for round two tonight!

    Have you been to New York City? Or even Los Angeles (which is probably a better example)?
  21. Trae
    Katy is really growing up. I remember when there was literally nothing but a couple of strip centers and big box stores from the Katy Mills Mall area to Highway 6. Now look at it. The last two big parcels of land left is between Westgreen and Mason and Mason and 99. The plot between Westgreen and Mason is suppose to be one of those "Main Event" entertainment centers. The other is suppose to be that big mall that won't be built anytime soon.

    I don't think Houston really has a cowboy stereotype. DFW to me feels more like that. Especially from its freeways since they have a lot of wide open spaces along them. Houston's freeways are more built up.
  23. Trae
    I think this will be true at first, but it'll definitely attract more tourists outside of the Houston area.
  24. Trae
    Doesn't sound like bad news and still appears to be moving forward.

    The next chain that needs to expand in Houston is Chicken Express. They have one in Magnolia and a little north of Conroe (New Waverly, IIRC). Don't know why they don't expand into Houston, as Houston does not have a chain like them. Their sweet tea is really good. They have them all over DFW.
