sounds like good inspiration for an article on stuffwhitepeoplelike.

It seems that your posts are a more likely inspiration for that site.

I don't think many people would call Chuy's "authentic" but it is really good food. Honestly, when you try to eat Mexican food outside of Texas, this is the kind of place you miss. I can find plenty authentic food made by Mexican immigrants in Chicago, but none of the overly cheesy, overly spicy Tex-Mex you get at Chuy's.

Looks like they "borrowed" a few of the majestic oaks from Fannin/Main near the Museum district. I love it.

I think they're elm trees. I agree though. The area around Rice with all those big trees is maybe the prettiest area in Houston.

new tmc parking garage

So the garages seem to be replacing parking lots. Anyway, the garages are for TMC employees only, correct?

I don't know who's actually building the garage (the TMC or one of the individual hospitals on their own.) Either way, most of the garages in the med center are open to the public but expensive (~$10/day). That parking lot was an employee only lot though so who knows.

I'm wondering, too. Two large cranes are at the site now.

I forgot I posted this. I walked by a few days later and looked closely. The poster on the side of the site said that it's going to be another parking garage.

One of the park and ride lots at the smithlands light rail stop has been closed off for construction. Does anyone know what project is going on here?

I don't think the Menninger Clinic is likely to be on this block. Aside from the Kroger at OST and Cambridge and the Marine facility, the rest of the block is owned by UT and MD Anderson. Menninger Clinic is a Baylor thing.
