yes!.........and the connection to the spring creek greenway project is an added bonus. http://www.springcreekgreenway.org/Spring%20Creek%20Greenway%20Gateway%20Parks%20Map%20-%20March%202009.pdf the nature preserve at springwoods is connected to a 12000 acre preservation/recreation greenbelt between tomball and kingwood.

there IS quite a bit of land immediately north of the development, between the river and the main road into springwoods, east of the holzworth extension and west of i-45. looking at a google map of the woodlands, would the holzworth extension connect with budde road or sawmill, i wonder?
-
it would stand to reason that coventry would be necessary to get the infrastructure in place before xom. xom's promise to move to the development could conceivably be a factor in the development getting off the ground.

.........little bird has been busy lately. the woodlands continues to attract big name retailers. big spenders who are "not from around these parts" must be spending freely. following tiffany & co, market street is rumored to be getting a "bb" and the woodlands mall may yet land a "nm". it's hard to believe there are still houses for sale under $130K in walking distance. oh, and the luxury senior living facility facade..........brick. boooooooo!

.......a little bird told me that a staging area for construction is built with a large crane in place at the proposed exxon location. could this be something other than what we think?

culturemap update culturemap saying the groundbreaking starts in august (article dated sept 29th, 2010). not sure if they mean next year or should have broken ground by now.

ricco just created the first concept for a show..........."CONSTRUCTION PORN". i'd certainly watch "ETHEREAL ENGINEERING"..............the engineering behind the designs of architects like calatrava, piano, gaudi and gehry (maybe not gaudi).

those pictures hurt to look at. beautifully executed discovery green with a tan and beige symbol of banality overshadowing. we need the artist who did the building caricature for "stop the ashby highrise" posters to do a drawing for haif expressing our dismay over the ES finished product; the mean ugly building encroaching over our well designed park.

i can find likable things about the worst manager. i might see an area of personal immaturity, but overlook it because they are knowledgeable in other areas, areas i need to learn. i'm usually called out by coworkers for "making excuses" or "defending management", when i usually understand the goal management wants to achieve and realize there are obstacles not everyone may be privy to in response to your first paragraph, it's unusual to find people looking for opportunities to grow and mature. when you connect with people such as this, it can be very rewarding.

brookfield purchasing the property means: they got a good deal? they acquire more parking and space for future development? will they now ask more for the office space in "Total Plaza" with a better view? wasn't the property ready for redevelopment? anyone reading between the lines and want to share?

i danced with (next to) andy bell on the stage at numbers one night. no concert, he wasn't with anyone. he was just dancing, little girl's barrettes in his hair, butterflies, bows......he said he loved dancing or something like that. we didn't realize who it was until later. erasure wasn't well known back then.

interesting ideas. thinking along the lines of niche's comment: featured project.....a picture of a new house, renovation or restoration with personal, local story about bringing the project to completion, including reviews and contact information of all architects, contractors,etc..involved. if there are enough people currently on haif that would actively utilize a site like niche describes (users who want to show their projects and make public their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the companies they hired), you might be ahead of the game, user-wise. note: angie's list is out there, but not industry specific and charges a subscription fee. thought: it is unfortunate that there seem to be more "fans" of architecture but less people willing to pay for an architect. architectural tourism is not very well presented in houston as it is in other cities. when people are visiting or new to cities, especially in the age of google, people want to know about the buildings they are seeing or if there are significant structures near where they are staying. it cracks me up when i hear of people coming to houston for the first time and they go shopping....not all tourists care about the galleria, especially the educated or international tourists (just my opinion. i have no data to back that up and i'm aware of the large amount of international money dropped at the galleria). anecdotal evidence: cirque du soliel employees traveling with alegria were very keen on info about architecture in houston, my memory was not sufficient for their curiosity. do we know how much international traffic houston architecture and/or haif receives?
