not so sure about that..other than Books a million..nothing is worth to go...what they need is big chain retail. no more restaurants..too many of them in DT. just look what happened to Bayou PLace.

this is not a park it is a parking lot with grass and two puddles.

what kind of mixed used project?

if you don't mind the loud train noise during the middle of the nights. Intown homes has no yard at all. albeit the probs with juliet, i think their i like their floor plan better.

i drove by there. that is Bruce Elementary to replace the old one next to that Superfund site with all contaminated land i think. I hope you are right about that demolition. Would be nice to have a grocery store there. The area has changed alot in a year.

what's so funny about liberals..their hatred for a man overshadows their rationality..especially when one with such colorful pics saved in their harddrive just for such occasions to post.

I just love liberal tolerance don't you?

"get a decent bungalow in the Heights" going for 250 to 400 k..talk about overpriced. I am wondering what they are doing with that huge empty lot next to Sydnor Street on Clinton, though.

How much will cost the state or Houston to feed approx 25k people indefinitely. Reality is, these people, unfortunately lost everything, most have nowhere to go. who's going to bus them back to new orleans? I hate to sound crass but I'm thinking for most, it's better than pre katrina. 3 free meals, air conditioned, medical care. also let's be real here, it's not like a once a year thing, that everyone comes together for a charity event. it's the first week and already you hear some negatives. give it 3 months, just how many volunteers do you think will keep this ongoing? do you have patience for some people who are ungrateful? they are literally living in the dome. It greats and wonderful that some houstonians open their homes for them. but imagine, are they going to kick them out? I have to agree it's the moral and humane thing to do to help our fellow Americans. but eventually, your brain will make you realize, what are you going to do with that family who's living in your house for the last 6 months?

I meant they're not the typical downtown dwellers you see in NY or San Fran.

If you get cheap housing in downtown, then it'll thrive. Those people tend to shop downtown. the rich folks likes to live in downtown but shops somewhere else. just go to NY or San Fran. you see a large diversity of people mostly low income grocery shopping in outside vendors. That market place they set up there on the northeast side, what type of folks you think shops there. and notice the lack of crowds.

HEEEERRRRE'S JOHNNY!

They've hired a couple of new employees to handle warrenty work. They have fixed a majority of our problems. Overall, even if it took a bit long, we really love the place and area (east side on clinton and Jensen) . It's quiet and easy access to 59 and I10. albeit some still rough patches. With the Master plan to revelopment the buffalo bayou, the area will get even better. A block or two away on the other side of Hirsch, you have a new park that is in development. All we need is a grocery store. the closest are either Krogers on Cullen, or Fiesta exit lockwood. As I said, Juliet Homes have been answering our problems, if youre patient and not act like a lunatic, they are willing to work with you.

did some research. apparently across the other side of the park off York will be boat ramps.

Checked it out. didn't like the view of the convenction center. the area reminds me of the omegaman movie. altho it will eventually get better. the live oaks lofts are selling off really slow.

We saw the intownhomes and the saleperson there really sold us the area. However, the intowns just didn't do it for us. The lack of a yard and so close to each other gave us the decision to look into juliet homes. youre right about the new park. it's actually soccer fields. just found some news that the once contaminated 36 acre area a couple of blocks away has been sold to Fifth ward investments. so that's some good news. they said it'll take a couple of years to clean up the area.

could be converted to a college.

We still have a few issues to work with. BUt overall, satified with the builder. Unlike most builders i've read, they'll work with you. As for the floor plan, it's smaller than the intowns but better quality. you get alot of quality stuff as standard vs what you would get as an upgrade at intown. Plus a nice 42 inch plasma tv. i like the area. even though , if you mention it to a stranger, they'll be afraid to stop by. it's quiet. and its' a transitional neighborhood. From reading and researching, it's going to be a nice place to live. Not sure but if they redevelop the bayou into a san antonio riverwalk, i believe it's going to be a gold mine . it'll take some time for retail to come in. but just wait.

It doesn't make any sense at all to have these in Downtown. Think about it. Do you actually think that it will be kept clean? Just to the bathroom at work. People throw just about anything into the toilet, clogged most time. people dont' flush, or idiot peeing on the floor. Can you imagine the filth? This is downtown, you get all sorts of crazy people.

Bought a Juliet Homes in the area.

it's a downtown borders books store.. just kidding.

Funny thing though, every ward left neglected all these years, and people careless what happens to the inner city neighborhood. suddenly after develpers get their hands on these lands and start redevelopment, people cares? OMG.squaking about historical significance. I see nothing historical before when left neglected and uncared for. you see streets full of trash, roads ruined, homes falling apart. Give me a break.

not talking about the ones next to alexan lofts..i'm talking about the patio homes next to bayou on clinton drive. look further..and you;ll find eastwood village.past that idlewood..known to be new montrose.

NEW HOMES BEHIND MINUTE MAID PARK 150's to mid 200's.

What they should do is have "AFFORDABLE" residential living around Downtown. Compared to SF, NY, Chicago...etc.. you want a diverse status group residing in Downtown. That makes a city. Most people who can afford the high rises, homes in downtown, would rather drive to Galleria to spend their money.
