    This is not true. There is always people there now unless its its a bad weather day.

    As long as the drinks are cheap I could care less. If they keep everything from the last place, it was actually pretty nice.

    Update. I can confirm that I also saw an actual taco truck at this location for a few moments, a very rare sighting downtown.

    This is literally no difference to whats already there. There is already no seats. They are adding a bar so people don't fall(nobody has fallen).

    That's the worst of them all. There are zero places in Houston that will put Dynamo games on voluntarily and its always like you're forcing them to put on an erotic movie. They might comply, but its gonna be at the shittiest tv in the corner with no sound where no one can see you.

    I wonder if they will show Dynamo games on TV. None of the bars around there do unless you bring a big crowd with reservation AND the Astros are not playing AND no other big sporting event is going on. And yes Ive been to them all including the obvious ones you are thinking a million times and know what i'm talking about.

    They could have at least attempted a pedestrian connection with downtown...

    Because local artists only want to make recycled steel column statues.

    From Wikipedia "Notwithstanding the change in 2001, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership Business Improvement District employed a pure land value taxation as a surcharge on the regular property tax from 1997 to 2016.[22] In 2000, Florenz Plassmann and Nicolaus Tideman wrote[23] that when comparing Pennsylvania cities using a higher tax rate on land value and a lower rate on improvements with similar sized Pennsylvania cities using the same rate on land and improvements, the higher land value taxation leads to increased construction within the jurisdiction." It would probably make most skyscraper taxes downtown much lower. Compare the property tax of a skyscraper downtown to the property tax of a same sized area of houses in the burbs. Now compare the land value of a block downtown compared to the land value of a same sized area in the burbs. Also the value of empty lots downtown would go way down, because property owners would be forced to sell land rather than pay the taxes. Much of the value of lots downtown is due to speculation.

    I'm all for high density parking with at least some ground floor retail. It's a million times better than the equivalent 8-10 surface lots. There's no point in worrying about beauty until we obtain the walkability to enjoy the beauty.

    Only $1 for the first 10 customers that reserve their spot 15 days in advance. A resale fee of $5 + 10% will be charged on the Ticker Master website. The on site price will be dynamically set by an algorithm that scans the make and model of the car with an additional $11 service charge for sedans and SUVs. Once the parking lot reaches 50% occupancy the remaining spots will be set aside for $899 VIP packages that include a bottle of fuel additive and additional purchasable upgrades.

    Oh thank god, please do something. Start selling alcohol or get outta that spot.

    Nice, one of the worst companies on the planet.
  14. staresatmaps
    Don't go Nimby on us. If it wasn't allowed it would be a surface parking lot by now.

    There's another thread about this somewhere. Its the same building owner. Going to be a mixed use with probably a bar at the bottom and offices or residential at the top.
  16. staresatmaps
    I vote The Rustic as the least inviting building in all of downtown.
  17. staresatmaps
    Of course they're are going to have parking. How am I supposed drive home after drinking at a bar if there is no parking? /s
  18. staresatmaps
    That would be good to see a block with both sides blocked off. Finn Hall and Flying Sauce suffer from overly tinted windows making them unwelcoming to passerbys. Hopefully this will help them out.

    Groundbreaking for "Trebly Park" because it is on block 333 and has 3 corners due to the terrible parking lot. Estimated completion of March 2022. Will include Tout Suite cafe.
  20. staresatmaps
    I hope they at least make use of the statues and very nice stonework.
  21. staresatmaps
    I believe its going to be a bar and possibly mixed use with some offices and a penthouse for the man himself on the upper floors.
  22. staresatmaps
    Oh it was fantastic as a pedestrian. I was walking in the middle of the street between Crocker and Stanford just for fun. Can they do that every weekend?
  23. staresatmaps
    Nothing new 7 Jan

    If only we could just erase a few decades.
