Los Angeles going light rail
713 To 214 replied to editor's topic in Meanwhile, In The Rest of the World...
I thought Los Angeles already had light rail service with the Blue, Green, and Gold Lines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_C...Rail#Light_Rail -
No! What you need to stop doing is reading "plans" studies, and information otherwise not confirmed for development and then taking that information and (re)posting it elsewhere as though it's a confirmed project. You do this often on both HAIF and Dallasmetropolis, and probably other places. Aside from it being foolhardy, and misleading to those who don't know any better, it's rather annoying, IMHO. Just wait until the relevant media is released which confirms the construction of a project then you can go around and repeat it's going to happen all you want. Please remember that developers, governments, and transit agencies change their "plans" all the time. As for DART's DT "subway," the 2nd DT alignment is currently being "planned," and several options include below-grade rail and stations. While one of these options will probably happen in the next 5-7 years, at this point it is far from certain.

One Park Place: Multifamily At 1400 McKinney St.
713 To 214 replied to GovernorAggie's topic in Downtown
With Discovery Green seeing considerable patronage in its infancy stage (let's hope it continues past the honeymoon period), this project is set to become a prime asset for DT, and Houston in general. -
I repeat my question. Do people here actually think that Starwood is going to build a W hotel without issuing a press release, or are some posters really just fooling themselves, and others, who don't know any better?
-
Great description of this individual. I can't tell you how many times I (and many others) have wanted to type those same words. What is the Dynamo's franchise current value?
-
I'd like to see the "purple line" extended further south to serve the Meyerland/Meyer Park areas, and then turn east at the intersection of S. Post Oak and Belfort, headed for Reliant Park.

This statement explains A LOT.

This live cam captures the Arts District cranes, and many of the others. You can control the camera's movement to catch most of the cranes up in and around Victory. Marketing pieces for most, if not all, of these projects reference Victory's close proximity as a incentive to move. So, I guess the argument could be made that Victory is helping to spawn additional development. http://66.60.64.57/top/liveapplet.html

Would you mind defining the term "black mecca," please. I don't understand what you mean. It can't be from a city government standpoint (you know the people who run the city), as evidenced by the following list of council members. http://www.houstontx.gov/council/gallery.html.

Doesn't sound very appealing, does it?
-
Sure thing, and thanks for the crane count. Pick any of the following places in Victory and let me know when we're drinking. CRAFT GHOSTBAR HOUSE OF BLUES KENICHI LA CONDESA LUNA DE NOCHE MEDINA N9NE NOVE VICTORY TAVERN LIVING ROOM Thanks for the crane count, again. Too bad we couldn't get the Arts District cranes in any of those shots. However, there is a live cam I think that can capture them all. I'll look for the link.

We didn't have Dirk. What did you expect? Seriously, though, I didn't really believe the Mavericks would win. They're not playing very good right now. The Rockets however are on a roll. Better hope they aren't showing they're playoff muscle too soon. The second season is a little different than the regular season.
-
In the words of one of our most infamous posters. . ."prove it!" lol
-
Can't argue with you there. I'm just having fun. However, you should talk to the pedant about making comments when he doesn't have all of the facts. It could get embarrasing
-
My prediction is that the Mavericks will halt Houston's win streak tonight in a devastating loss. . .even without Dirk Novitzki
-
Let's make it interesting. If I can prove it, will you forever stop posting in this thread?
-
. . .and you've been wrong since day one. There are at least 17 other cranes up within a half mile radius from this site. Many of them are just a few blocks away. The financing problem experienced for this project was site/developer specific. This project is way more ambitious than many others going up now.
-
Welcome to Stadium City!. . .We finance them all.
-
After 64 pages of commentary, can someone answer the following questions for me? 1. Has the alignment for this line been determined yet? 2. Has a date certain been announced for the groundbreaking of this line?
-
I've been waiting for that reality to sink in.

She'll be running for governor soon. I'm sure she'll want you to remember this deed.

Aloft Houston By The Galleria At 5415 Westheimer Rd.
713 To 214 replied to moni's topic in Uptown and Galleria Area
I think this goes for the Ritz-Carlton as well. -
Has Starwood issued a press release regarding the W Houston yet?
-
Mister X, I promise there's medication you can take for that problem. You seriouslyneed counseling (as will be evident by your response to this post). I've never seen anyone else get as fired up and as angry as you over words on a screen. The Victory Park Mardis Gras was pretty good for a first time around. Having lived in New Orleans for three years (Pre-Katrina) I know what the real thing looks like, and this one parade by no means is worthy of comparison. However, Mystiqal is further evidence that Victory Park is continuously being programmed for activities that draw crowds for events other than Stars or Mavericks games, and the rich. . .a sentiment expressed all too often on HAIF by people who don't know any better and/or whose sole purpose is to diminish what Victory Park is on its way to becoming.

What. . .are you kidding me? Houston will looooooooose (get it this time?) anothersports franchise before the Texans will ever make it to a Super Bowl. I could be wrong though. Mario Williams may be able to single-handedly sack them into the championship game.
