Eric Barajas is hot! They should let him try a newscast shirtless, he always looks like he's about to bust out of that suit, like the Hulk or something.

I guess that's where the Cheesecake Factory will be going

Houston State University ( I don't actually know if the state funds UH-D)

A stand alone Nordstroms? Is it a real one or one of those Nordstrom Racks?

Oh I love Pappasitos, everytime I'm back in Houston it's one of the first places I have to eat. Usually either the one on I10 near BW8 or the one on 290 near Tinseltown. A Pappasitos in Uptown would work out much better.

perspective of the Saturn V would be lost.

I know Saturn V has to be inside to perserve it, but could they stand it upright somewhere in Houston, and then incase it in a giant clear glass box, kinda like the glass pyramid in Galveston, but a box instead of a pyramid? I'm trying to switch from night shift back to day shift, so I might not be making any sense. But it could be like Houston's Eiffel Tower or Statue of Liberty, or something.

They already do.

And then some people think we have the whole Minneapolis/St.Paul thing going on, and that they're both downtowns.

In that America's Plaza rendering, looks like a rail line going through the middle. Or maybe it's just a row of trees, I can't tell.

If they really do build that tall Deyaar tower, it could block the Mercer, at least at one angle.

Who puts on the Nutcracker Market each year at Reliant? Is it the Ballet?

What exactly is a World Expo? Is it like a big fair or something?

Any rumors as to what the skywalk is gonna end up in? Are they going to be building a department store of some sort (maybe a Nordstroms?) or are they going to build space for more smaller retail stores, in that grassy area? Or is this the area they were talking about buidling an aquarium?

So I heard a Chick-Fil-A is going into the new Oak Forest shopping center.........is this true? I love their sweet tea.

They wouldn't get rid of the Water Wall...........would they?

I like the fatburger with the fried egg and cheese

It looking like Boston does not seem to impress the bloggers on this link.

I agree with their points about the lack of awnings and what not to protect pedestrians from some of the elements.

Who in their right mind would want to live on the ground level witht eh feeder road of I10 right there ???

I have no idea what they plan on doing, but I lived in a Post complex once where the ground level had furnished apartments that you could rent by the day. They were intended for people that had family visiting, they could stick them in one of those, instead of putting them in a hotel or whatever. That way no-one had to actually live in the ground floor ones.

Read the last two pages of this thread.

LOL! That is just cruel. I wouldn't even make my worst enemy read the last two pages of this thread.

Lawrys did indeed pull out, but considering the number of "mixed-used" projects going up around town, I'm sure they'll find a home somewhere. Three Forks steak restaurant has replaced them in the Pavilions.

They can even walk to Kroger's and a movie on West Gray.

And soon a new Whole Foods!

What will happen to this thread once Pavilions opens and is no longer "Going Up?" Will it disappear or move to another section? I don't think I've ever paid attention to a thread long enough to see what happens to it once the project it's representing is complete.

Anyways, if this place is having trouble with leasing retail, I imagine "retail" is waiting to see if people will actually come before they decide if they want to open a location at Pavilions or not.

The West Ave website says it will feature a state-of-the-art Microplex Theatre, what is that? Is it like a movie theater, but micro-sized? Or maybe it's just a fancy name for the clubhouse?

I thougt Canada was crazy clean. Okay, I've never been to Canada, but that's one of my stereotypes of Canada, super clean, along with super friendly people and super cold.

Have there been any rumors as to what the restaurant might be?

What's up with people that pronounce Houston as "How-stun," what the eff is that all about?

This seems pretty close to the Whole Foods on Kirby, but I guess inner loopers love them some Whole Foods. I like certain speciality items from Whole Foods, but I can't do my full on grocery shopping there, you can't find things like Doritos and Oreos. Anyways, so is this pretty close to Regent Square? Hey, if this and the BLVD Place one are built, there will be a Whole Foods triangle, kinda.
