The Galleria Mall At 5085 Westheimer Rd.
Captain Impossible replied to TreaderCRC's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
My source at Simon says that in the near term, the residential tower is unlikely. It's going to take a few years, or at least that's how it's looking now. -
I like the part where the university suckered its ignorant students into voting for (I, for one, voted against) raising fees to help pay for this scam and then turned around and sold the naming rights for many millions of dollars. It's good to know that a small piece of my student loan repayment (plus interest) is going to this because they clearly needed it so very much.

The Galleria Mall History
Captain Impossible replied to houstonartstudent's topic in Historic Houston
Yeah, cool project! Someone else beat you to it though. It's called the store directory. -

That pattern has already been established for Houston. You really think this will be an exception?- 119 replies

They're part of the Freemasons, a more than questionable secretive society whose supposed benevolence is a total sham?

What is it with you people and views? I admit, I like them as much as anyone else, but it's the same story in Dallas. As soon as someone builds something that "blocks their view" they freak out. Calm down.

811 Main: Office Skyscraper At 811 Main St.
Captain Impossible replied to houstonfella's topic in Downtown
Also keep in mind that a building like Williams has behind its design one of the most important figures in architecture over the last century.- 1,201 replies

I think I might have been where you were, and if so, we were looking east down Rusk. I didn't know that view in the video would actually be there.- 1,201 replies

Jones Hall For The Performing Arts At 615 Louisiana St.
Captain Impossible replied to devonhart's topic in Downtown
I agree. I was just by there yesterday shooting a band, and it really is an amazing piece of mid-century architecture. I've never been inside, but it needs to stay. It belongs there.- 51 replies

811 Main: Office Skyscraper At 811 Main St.
Captain Impossible replied to houstonfella's topic in Downtown
How unfortunate. There are so many parking lots. And uglier buildings. Sorry if I'm late in the game on this one. It's just frustrating when good looking stuff comes down instead of the things that need to go.- 1,201 replies

Perhaps, but what they lack in skyline, they more than make up for in real city life, which is more than can be said for Houston.

I personally haven't run into any trouble down there. I have a friend who lives nearby, on the other side of I-45, on Rusk. It's actually a good (though, maybe not in some traditional senses) neighborhood that is simply in need of some fixing up. Isn't the light rail supposed to go down that way, anyway?
