    Praise be. Let's start ASAP.

    Update: most of the building is down. Still going to try and take a photo of the "Optimism Starts with You" mural as it gets demolished.

    "similar construction for illustrative purposes only" Yeah, cause the real one looks like shit.

    Demolition fencing up and crews on site now.

    It is quite possible that PNC will be used as a practice facility. That said, there should be more than enough parking at PNC now for teams, equipment, media, etc. Highly doubt it needs expanding just for that.

    You have no idea how much I love this picture. Before I started at UH (09) my optometrist told me not to get too attached to campus because every year at least one building will come down, two will go up, and by the time I graduate, the whole place will look completely different. He was quite correct.

    He's clearly been taking a back seat for a while, letting Nick Wong and Nick Fine run everything. With just about all of his restaurants closing last year, I'm not surprised to see him go. Let someone else deal with opening all those restaurants at once. Chris has made a huge mark on the Houston food scene and we are all better off for it.

    I think everyone's concerns could be mitigated with a below grade crossing. Let's do it. It may cost more, but god damn if it doesn't hit every requirement for the area.

    I drive there often. I do agree about the trees. A lot. Love me some nice trees. I don't know if I agree so much re: bus highway. Busses (and plenty of cars) already roar up and down that street, so I don't see much of a difference.

    I'm curious (in all honesty) how this destroys the neighborhood. It looks like the Overpass is built over the existing roadway. Based on the video rendering, I don't even see any buildings/homes in the area missing.

    To borrow from Drive, "where's the deluxe version?"

    Like a giant glass scar down the side of an already hideous beast. I do like the updated landscaping at the jury assembly building.

    That bend does love to flood...

    Alley Theatre received a $25 Million gift today and will be renaming the 615 Texas Ave building the "Meredith J. Long Theatre Center" in honor of the deceased Chairman. Based on the gift amount, I suspect there will be additional renovations as well. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/lifestyle/article/Exclusive-Alley-Theatre-to-be-renamed-after-17269041.php?fbclid=IwAR12meZVbGuXD9cPsbrVKSScm7Zrm-oQvJmpiEGnTzrKcRu4zKeeZr7pNWg

    You are correct. The complex owned by Marquette is 2404 Navigation. Renovation of 2311 Canal was originally in Marquette's plans, but, we will see.

    That's what we saw as well. Plus, the sign in the Glassell courtyard says no "professional photography without permit." Which, not professionals and we asked permission. Ours was actually off Montrose when he complained. Eitherway, it's whatever. Excellent photos that you took! The while lot is lovely!

    That we had a drone, lol. Nothing in the park area around it says "no drones" and we had checked with the museum beforehand, just in case. Museum had no complaints. Probably just a security guy on his high horse.
  19. JBTX
    Did security get mad at you for taking this? My friends and I were recording a buddy's proposal using drones at the top of the Glassell building and got a stern lecture for it.

    East End is about to be the roundabout capitol of Houston.

    This is the building Abraham Watkins is in, yes? If so, yes. It floods frequently.

    Unfortunately, it seems as though Night Shift closed due to a disagreement between ownership and talent that lead to an employee walk-out.
  23. JBTX
    Wow, almost looks like a completely different building. Impressive what a bit of paint can do. So long as they never fix all those broken windows, it will remain the Ventana that I knew in my youth.
  24. JBTX
    Great point. It's a bit further off from the roundabout. Honestly, until the permit app for the Mill was posted today, I would have expected that lot to be used for staging. That said, you're probably right.
  25. JBTX
    Excellent! There was a bunch of equipment (cats, scissor lifts, and some other minor equipment) across the street at the old Alamo Tamales place today, I wonder if it is related. Not sure what scissor lifts would be for at this stage, but idk. Alternatively, maybe Marquette is ready to move forward with their remodel of the rest of the lot in front of Forth.
