H&M is the "upscale" Gap.

Wow. The solution to Metro's problems would be.....common sense.
-
Yeah, if the buses were more reliable and on time, I think more people would use it. But, I think you need to expand rail first. In my opinion, I think more buses would be on time if a lot of their former routes have been replaced by rail. Baby steps.

Exactly. All of Fairfax, Virginia is still moving to the new campus, as well as some other offices around Houston.

I like the youth the Astros have now. Excited for this upcoming season.

New Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Campus in Houston?
Trae replied to Trae's topic in General Houston Discussions
Boeing picked Chicago because the Dallas area had all of the suburban cities fighting over who would get the HQ. The Chicago area came together and said they didn't care where they went, as long as they came to Illinois. It was in an article last year on why Boeing moved. -
Well, at least they aren't going further out. Instead, they are filling in the gaps between The Woodlands and North Houston.

More: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/7235342.html This would be pretty good for the NASA/Clear Lake area, especially with the rumored cuts. It makes a lot of sense for them to locate their new campus in Houston. Let's hope it happens.

I wouldn't completely rule out an HQ move, though it is unlikely. A new shiny corporate campus, with an entire master-planned community (and VERY nice one at that) built right behind it? That may entice a move from Irving, where there are hardly any Exxon employees compared to Houston.

Sugar Land and Kingwood are no where near as far out as The Woodlands is.

Could it be both?

If Don Lessum turns out to be Borat, I'm going to be pissed. He had us all along!

A couple of new articles on EarthQuest Adventures: http://sanantonio.bi.../13/story5.html http://culturemap.co...eco-theme-park/ http://www.click2hou...900/detail.html Edit: By the way, anyone go to the meeting last Wednesday?

When is this suppose to be completed? What would someone in South Dallas do (along the Red or Blue line) take to get to DFW Airport? It's much quicker to take 408 straight up to 183 instead of the rail, which only saves money.
-
DART has some nice coverage and all, but light rail at that large of a distance doesn't work, in my opinion. A subway/heavy rail system would though. Light rail runs too slow for someone in say, Plano, to want to go to DFW or Love Field airports. The only thing it saves is money. DFW is easier to drive around.
-
Not to mention you have to completely rip up the rails, as heavy rail uses a third rail, that light rail doesn't use. Would be a LONG process.

Emirates Evaluating DFW Service
Trae replied to 102IAHexpress's topic in Dallas/Fort Worth/Metroplex
That's cool. I've heard good things about Virgin America. Hopefully they come to IAH soon. -
Only part I agree about is Metro needing to have more grade separations over busy roads. The comment about Metro only being 7 miles is mute, since it's under expansion currently.
-
Spec or not, I don't think this office building would have a hard time filling up. Especially at it's location and the size of it (not too big). Not to mention it's a nice looking building that will provide some good views.
-
I was thinking the same thing. fthats what happens when you build your light rail system like a commuter rail system. I think Metro's plan is better, since light rail will only be used in the inner city, with commuter rail bringing in the suburban commuters. Those stations, though nice in design, fit what the commuter rail stations on the Galveston line, for example, will (most likely) look like.
-
2018 being the most pessimistic view. It's not like Metro hasn't already done studies, etc., on the University Line. Mid-2014 to 2015 is the best bet.
