NIMBY-ism refers to residents, not commercial entities. 6th and 1st wards are filled with people that would absolutely love the light rail to be closer to their 120+ year old homes. the last i-45 plans have the Winter Street line being taken out. That is a large enough right-of-way to easily support lightrail construction if Center st is too short and the Washington Ave businesses complain too much (although Lovett has all the land on all 3 of these streets so it doesn't really matter to them, does it?)

I don't understand where you would be coming from that you would need to use this? Maybe the 4 square blocks south of white oak? Or if you were at Stude Park and wanted to go? I share @rechlins frustration that the northern trail just deadends literally within view of the southern trail, when i've tried to make a loop around, but from an actual pedestrian friendly walkablity standpoint, the heights bike trail has been incredible for us living in the first ward.

this is a pretty perfect location for adding some housing near the white oak corridor. it's less than 15 mins bike ride to downtown on the hike+bike trail, with only the sawyer intersection forcing ppl off their bike, really ideal.

shame some of the photobuckets are gone, but also incredible that some 2006 photobucket images still exist.

just finished readin this and man it's a joyride. talks about all the seedy areas of houston circa 1940-1950 in little funny vignettes

i was going to respond to Luminaries weirdly butthurt defensiveness, but then i saw the "Room rates will range between $350 and $500 per night" and, well, this is a net-negative for millennial tourism in the city. The marketing people that have the gall to say " broader audience " after saying the rooms costs $350 are the worst type of people.

if they're already having to request variance to even make the thing, why not go for 3-4 stories and enough units so the lounge'll be filled/interesting/vibrant and that a single wedding party wouldn't be enough to buy the whole thing out?
-
Houston desperately needs some(any) boutique hotels, but 9-units is laughable, the 9 parking spots are literally the same sq.ft as the building itself.

Downtown Dallas still has the Original Neiman Marcus, the Majestic Theater and the extremely tourist-y area around the JFK Assassination. Downtown Houston doesn't have a department store, open historic theater, or tourist destination that rival those spots, so to a traveller/tourist/suburbanite, Dallas's downtown still might seem like it has more to offer. That being said, downtown dallas has literally 1 decent bar right now: Midnight Rambler.

fair... i just had assumed/hoped that since TrueGrid is literally right down the street they would have used them.
-
drove by the other day... the entire parking lot is concrete. I had assumed it would be permeable, but nope.... how was this allowed?
