I too am a mass supporter of a better lit skyline as well. I look at Houston's skyline as a large array of buildings that some look good and the other half looks very bland and tacky. I also, as i've said countless times in the other night skyline thread absolutely hate the white christmas lights. I noticed that even Dallas has a couple of buildings lit that way in and near their downtown but it's not nearly as much as in Houston or Fort Worth. I was riding down the North Central Expressway in Dallas and noticed that the Cityplace Tower has that same lighting, but it goes all around the building, complimenting the building's shape and design, which i think sort of looks good. Also the West Marketplace building in West End Dallas is lit like that and is pretty visible from the freeway. I was really embarassed when we went to the World Series and a our downtown wasn't lit with the energy like Chicago's. It's a shame that the 4th largest city's downtown can't do better. I will compliment the Galleria/Uptown skyline at night. The Williams Tower, while not all that much pronounced is bad as hell at night. Also in the Texas Medical Center, i like the St. Luke's Tower with the white lit spires going up. But downtown does need to step it up a notch.

i thought there were plans to turn the bottom portion of Stowers into a grocery store! And C2H, what made you decide not to move to Houston? It sounds like you live in Mayville if Houston metro has more people in it than your entire state has. You decided that Houston wasn't the place for you? Too ugly, hot, humid? What?

when i'm back home and walking on campus at TSU, i always wondered if i would pass by GREYSTONE08- he doesn't post at this forum anymore though! But he was the only one i knew of on here that went to TSU and that's right down the street by where my ol' home is!

A little late KID, someone beat you to it already. Keep up man!

Much appreciation to you Houstonian!

Yo LargeTX, where you at on this information? What was the good part about that week you were talkin' bout. The good week already passed now!

man you wrong for that!

What's the point of saying you have good news and telling us nothing?

That's right!

did you not read my second post on this thread? Because they both are urban developments that are occuring in both cities and i wanted to see what others thought of the developments and development patterns that both of these urban areas have on the city . Pay Attention EDITOR!

i just want to say thank you to those of who actually voted. To those of you who casted your vote to the "This Topic Choice sucks option", i got a big middle finger that goes out to each of you!

i only chose this topic to compare booming developments of each of the cities

Everyone is always speaking of Uptown Dallas developments and how its coming along as far as urbanity. A certain member pointed out in another thread that Houston's TMC has similar developments as Uptown Dallas urbanly speaking. For one thing, the light rail runs right through TMC and there are booming projects. Although it's just in the field of Medical research (how boring!). But which developments are better UT or Medical Center?. Houston also has nearby Midtown and Musuem District, and Rice Village to add to the area. So on a large scale, which city is more developed? Gimmie some thoughts.

Bummer dude!

i know, i was just pulling his leg, it was just a poor attempt at humor!

Wow !!!Burlington Coat Factory headquarters??? COOL!!!

anyone gonna take the initiative and write a letter. I'm going to write a letter but i don't know who to write. Anyone? Please some info on this please?

LARGE TEXAS, please answer us? Where do you find these renderings?

well like i said, why don't you write a letter. cuz i'm gonna write one!

good pose VelvetJ. That's my biggest problem with Houston's night time skyline is the Christmas lights around the rooftops. Like C2H said, I'm sure if enough of us got together and wrote a letter to Central Houston, it could make a difference. SO WHO'S WITH ME? who's all gonna take the initiative and write Bob Eury with Central Houston. I'll try to provide his mailing adress for you all later.

for it to be opening in Feb 06, it sure as hell ain't showing any good signs of progress! Those same damn posters are on the Window of that building that's been there for months, and if you look behind the posters, it's still a parking garage on the inside. What the hell does CHIC mean anyway? I never understood that!

I'm there all the time. What are you talking about?

I HAVE TO SAY that i somewhat share Houstonsemipro's frustration regarding this project. When i look at all the multiple projects that are taking place in Dallas, i conclude and feel that Houston's a little on the slow side. Dallas mentioned the Victory Development and wide plasma screens not even a year ago. They've already begun to move some dirt showing progress and signs that the projects are moving along. It's frustrating. Dallas appears to be the most booming city in the state right now. Why can't we at least start seeing some dirt flying or being moved for the Pavilions? I'm mad as hell!

Oh i thought you were for real! It sounded alot like true sense , that's why i thought you were serious BTW: welcome back Montrose1100
