    Also considering that this is a completely different project from Shamrock, and has actually started construction.

    A lot of retail with The Grand, this mixed-use, Katy Mills, and La Cantera close by.

    Really? Do you have anymore info?
  4. Trae
    People are really overreacting.

    So you miss the porno shops and gangs running wild (high crime, too)?
  6. Trae
    Shade?

    Those two silver boxes would be perfect for some screens:

    I wonder if you would be sayng the same thing if KBR was moving to Cypress.

    More rail would definitely help the city out. We need to get the move on with the inner City light rail lines, and then commuter to the suburbs.

    Just wanted to see a map. That's all. The Great NW is made up of many different suburban communities, too. Another example would be Bay Area Houston (though not as large, the cities down there are incorporated).

    Take a look at the domestic migration between Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Atlanta. This may explain some of what Jax is talking about: Houston: http://recenter.tamu.edu/data/popm00/pcbsa26420.html Dallas-Fort Worth: http://recenter.tamu.edu/data/popm00/pcbsa19100.html Atlanta: http://recenter.tamu.edu/data/popm00/pcbsa12060.html

    And that is what it seems like DFW is doing. They attract a lot more people, looking for a different range of jobs (oil, energy, tech, fashion, etc.). Houston needs to find a way to do that. Maybe build up a tech corridor along a freeway somewhere. Entice tech companies to locate offices there. Do something like that. I don't really know. I guess that is what you get when you have two major cities forming a metro area, instead of just one.

    Willowbrooks Trade Area includes parts of cities (Houston Jersey Village), and I doubt all of NW Harris County would be a city. Would be one giant suburban mess. Would probably be broken up into "Klein", "Cypress", "Fairbanks", etc.

    Like?

    Where is the trade area map?

    Who is that guy in your avatar?

    I agree with some parts of your post. CityPass would not have chosen Houston as their first city in Texas if they didn't think we had enough attractions (now I guess). When you think tourism in Houston, you have to use the whole metro area (like you would for Dallas and Atlanta). You have the museums, zoo, aquarium, etc., in the Inner Loop. Then you have the Galleria area for shopping (I would say this is a tourist attraction). Southeast of the city, you have the JSC. Thought not upto par with the Kennedy Space Center, I still think it does a good job, and just needs a few more motion rides. You have Kemah in that area, too. Further south is Galveston, with the beach, Moody Gardens, and Schlitterbahn. In a few years (four or so), you will have EarthQuest, which will be the largest theme park in Texas. Add those in, and Houston is really onpar with DFW (I would say above it), and is just below Atlanta (for now). Better marketing would help Houston (and not the "My Houston" crap).

    Doesn't TheNiche want everyone to have their own little hybrid vehicle and ride tollways?

    You're stretching if you include Spring. That is more north. School districts is a bad way to define it. For example, Cy-Fair ISD stretches all the way down to Clay Road at Fry. Surely you don't think Clay Road is in Northwest Houston?

    You still have AMC Katy Mills and Cinemark just north of the freeway. Then the Alamo Drafthouse on Mason, too. I don't think the plans for the theater at the Shops at Bella Terra are completely canceled.

    I was going by the Chron article today, that said 1.4 million of the 3.9 million people in Harris County live in the unincorporated parts. By the way, don't forget the other counties in the Houston MSA.
  22. Trae
    So is this big? I'm sure some new homebuilders will be setting up shop in Sealy now.
  23. Trae
    NW Harris County does not have one million out of the 1.4 million in Unicorporated Harris County. I doubt it. Maybe like 700,000. Does Memorial City Mall scare you?
  24. Trae
    I think it actually has one already.

    I see TV's only helping entice more people to come to. Especially if they show movies and stuff on the TV's. What's wrong with bringing more tourists to Houston? It only helps the economy. Tourism brings in more hotel night stays, more transit users, more things bought at the stores, etc. Don't see what is wrong with wanting more of that.
