    Somehow I don't quite believe it. If the old Holiday Inn really were about to be renovated into a Sheraton or whatever, it seems that it would be a lot more widely known. The activity the article references could just as easily be just minimal upkeep.

    Is it possible to tell if the abandoned tunnel section from this block under Capital Street will be reopened and reconnected to the building?

    This is a cool picture. On the portion with the facade removed you can see where a section of the building frame sits lower than the facade skeleton. That would have been the roofline of the original Majestic Theater that was eventually incorporated into the Chronicle Building. To the left of that was the Milam Building which was extended over the top of the theater.

    I tried running one of the posts through Google translate and the only thing that popped out was links about online gambling. And there I was hoping they were messages to us from the Dear Leader.

    I couldn't find the thread about this. Anyway, most of the Korean bot-spam should be deleted or unviewable now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    This is beyond the moderator toolkit. I notified Wayne this morning. Looks like an automated attack.

    I thought it was Grandy's. Wanted to research to confirm but ran out of time.

    Merged

    Hard to believe, but this topic has been open since January 2007 - almost ten years. Has to be some sort of house record.

    Note dupe topics merged

    The stone walls are a nice period touch.

    I'm guessing she is referring to Confetti's, which in other incarnations was also Foxhunter, Cowboy and R&R. It was on West Alabama behind the Galleria.

    Probably Albert Gee's Poly-Asian at 9530 South Main.

    I can't believe Cox would care. This is fairly pathetic, but I can still sing the original Q Morning Zoo jingle.

    They were a bit annoying, but at the time the metered ramps were installed I remember reading that they were a cheap and relatively effective way to reduce freeway congesting by keeping more cars on the feeders. I thought the metered ramps were retired in cases where longer or braided ramps were installed, like along 59.

    If you compare the bottom picture to the top you'll notice how it grew an extra floor.

    With the Lamar Hotel block they let it sit as surface parking for about 15 years.

    Well there's a shock!

    That is an awesome picture. Thanks!

    Interesting remodeling that was done. I see the logic in plugging up the original grid facade - it was heaven for pigeons. As I recall the original renderings for the remodeling showed a large section of the facade ripped out and replaced with larger windows. In the end they went with the original glazing with just inserts to plug up the grid squares. Normally I'm not a big fan of remodels, but in this case the original structure was kind of ugly. Not that the current version is any treasure. It just sort of made its way up to innocuous.

    The Chronicle article is incorrect in saying that the hotel opened as the Whitehall in 1963. Before it was the Whitehall it operated as the Hotel America and the Hotel Sonesta.

    "Historic riverfront" is odd phrasing, but it leads me to think they are looking at taking advantage of the bayou location. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it..

    Keep it civil and on-topic please..

    That's funny. The Daewoo names cracked me up for some reason. Lanos, Leganza and Nubira. "Nubira" was odd enough that it was fun to say.
