    Does anyone know whats going on at 3434 Fountain View dr? It looks like it could be something huge but I'm not sure. There's also heavy street construction on Fountain View from Richmond to 59 but also not sure what's going on since theres nothing online about it.

    Is there a possibility the power lines are going to be buried?

    I don't understand how random little streets that aren't even bad are getting reconstructed, and one of Houston's most popular route is still waiting to get funded.

    I know its FAR from it, but I feel like once we get more high rises around buffalo bayou, it will kind of look like our version of Central Park (with the buildings around it)

    I was confused too, but based off of his post, it wouldn't have surprised me 💀

    "We're not into victims nor negative energy," yet your whole post is negative lol. You're complaining about too many teens and apartments.....in the middle of 4th largest city in America, not to mention most of those apartments go for around $700,000 and up. I looked up "drag shows" and the closest one is 5 miles away..... so I'm confused? Also, the reason 3-5 stores left is because they simply didn't work in HOUSTON, not specifically ROD. East Hampton closed BOTH locations in Houston, it was mediocre (look at hopdoddy for comparison). Most of the stores that are there have been there since grand opening, so I'm not sure what made you think it would declare bankruptcy; especially with all the advancing projects adjacent to ROD. Also, are you saying people who buy luxury brands have "low self-esteem?" lol you'd have a heart attack if you saw the "low self-esteem" in cities like New York, Miami, LA, even Dallas. Houston is known to be "lax" in terms of how we dress. Maybe try not to judge people for caring how they look? Your post makes you seem very bitter; you belittled people who go there, brought in "drag" when it has nothing to do with the area, talked about how the area could go into bankruptcy, then talked about how excited you are to move to this magical area. My favorite part is "we're not into victims nor negative energy" HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

    Oh thats actually a really smart move from the city! This is such a huge step forward for the city of Houston. Property owners have too much leeway in how they design/maintain their shopping centers. Huge signs, no trees/ landscape, and just straight up not caring for the property. My family is friends with the guy who owns the shopping center below and as you can see it's mess. He has 2 separate signs, one not even being used, not to mention how poorly kept the center is. Side note, this dude is loaded. He can afford to clean up the shopping center, and I feel like thats the case with a lot of owners, if its bringing them money thats all they care about. In terms of LED billboards, I can see how the bright lights can be an issue for some people driving. However, part of me does wish there were more digital billboards around Houston. I know other cities have initiatives to replace multiple traditional billboards for 1 digital billboards.

    Can someone summarize what this technically means? Does it mean the city will order the removal of some signs if they are not up to date?

    I think people are happy fiesta is closing because of how it looks. It's an eyesore driving down 59, its a building on half the block and surface parking on the other half, this structure literally belongs in the suburbs. It has nothing to do with the fact that its a "fiesta" and everything to do with how it looks. The closing of the store is "good news" because 1. It's shows that this major development is moving forward 2. The area itself will look a lot more appealing once everything is done. How are you going to be annoyed that this is closing but want this project 😂 fiesta isn't a small mom and pop store, if they wanted to downsize and stay in the area, they could.

    Just curious, why would they look like trash? Calhoun lofts was built more than 12 years ago and its very well kept.
  13. Amlaham
    What if it was a movable trolley restaurant 👀, I know not likely but what if 😂
  14. Amlaham
    Wowwwww, that skyline 😍. We need more rooftops/ observation decks !
  15. Amlaham
    This would have a HUGE presence driving down 59 south because of the angle of 59. In certain parts, it will look like you're driving directly towards the building!

    This translate to: I rode a lot of trains before when I didn't have a car in other cities, but since I have a car here I don't think it should be built. Also why do you care how much it costs? Its a private company and even if they did use SOME public money, It's NOWHERE near the price of the roughly 7-10 billion for the i45 project thats only 24 miles long in 1 city VS the 0 dollars from public wallet (40 billion PRIVATE) for 240 miles serving 2 of the largest cities in America. Also this will have a huge economic impact in a sector we don't have in Texas. Students from A&M will use these during holidays or visiting family in Dallas/ Houston (I have friends who discussed this already :)), the thousands of businessmen/ women who travel between the cities each week, during big events (maybe even the World Cup 2026), the fact that this will create 1,500 permanent jobs, the fact that they will pay taxes to state and local counties (highways don't :)), when big companies choose cities for their events or projects they look at mass transportation (one of the reasons amazon didn't pick Houston). So its clearly obvious that this project would have a MASSIVE impact on the city and state in general, but since you don't think it would benefit you personally, its "fantastical"

    Even if they're looking for a handout, whats the issue? I feel like people forget this project is for US, TEXANS. The same people that support that i45 project, oppose this one lol. This project displaces A LOT less people, provides an alternative means of transpiration we don't have, AND we're not even paying for it. I personally want both 🤷‍♂️. If you're opposed to this project and not the i45 project, maybe stop being greedy and appreciate that not everyone uses transportation the same way as you do?

    More coffee shops that aren't big chains (Staryucks) 🙏

    I kinda don't mind street parking, I feel like its inevitable in these urban prone areas. The Heights, Montrose, and in other cities have the same issue. I feel like it livens the neighborhood, but just personal opinion.
  20. Amlaham
    I feel like all road construction will advance now while the city pushes lower Westheimer construction to 2032

    For some reason google maps was acting weird, it doesn't show all the churches unless you zoom in a lot closer 🤷‍♂️. So technically, there is even more than that map.
  22. Amlaham
    I'm more surprised how they managed to stay open, there are so many churches/ church affiliations in that area.
  23. Amlaham
    Correct me if im wrong, but doesn't this project also remove multiple back to back billboards along i45? Thats a HUGE plus in my opinion because its literally the most hideous site I've ever laid my eyes on. It's actually embarrassing driving down i45 from the airport with guests visiting Houston, and this is the first thing they see.

    Hi 😀, I used to work at a luxury store in the Galleria. While the galleria does have a lot of foot traffic and obviously good for business, a lot of stores have trackers that count the amount of people in the store and corporate uses these numbers to see if their product is selling relative to the amount of people in the store. It was always BAD in terms of some of the other stores in the nation (yes those stores were in big cities too) with hundreds of people coming into the store just to take pictures and mess up merchandise. Also, from personal contact with the store managers of Carolina Herrera, Fendi, and Valentino, I can tell you that they considered moving to the ROD. The idea that some of these stores have is "most of their clientele specifically come to shop at their store, why not personalize the experience by taking the mall aspect out of the equation." A lot of clientele avoided coming to our store because of parking issue, how busy it is, and the safety of walking back to your car with your stuff. A trip can easily take half an hour just to get into the store vs literally minutes at ROD. These specific reasons are the reason why the store I used to work at and stores like Versace, Prada, etc used to do "showcasing" where we'd take all our new products and go to some of the clients homes. This and many more reasons is why some stores looked to ROD. I know Tom Ford moved to the galleria from ROD, but that could be because it doesn't have frequent clienteles to buy suits.

    If making fun of handicaps on TV isn't enough for "Trump supports" to realize he's a terrible human being (besides the HUNDREDS of things he's done to make our great country look bad), then you guys need therapy.
