    That was the Greyhound Bus Station.

    Same here. I love this project, although the 5700 underground parking spaces concerns me adjacent to the bayou.

    I always thought this would work for apartment-like housing for seniors.

    When I was by I noticed workers as well in the garage section. Looked like some sort of plumbing/sewerage work since there was water flowing out. A Sheraton would be great, but after so many false alarms on this one I'm not keeping my fingers crossed.

    I don't think parking garages are ever going to be particularly attractive. I would just like to seem them clustered in the downtown Parking District.

    I always assumed they made more money off of the toll tags than cash customers. That is because they keep the Texas tag accounts topped up in $20 increments, so they must always have a large balance sitting around on which the state, not the driver is earning interest.

    That is cool. I was surprised at the amount of stuff there.

    How can a candle be "high end"? Is it because it has two wicks? Common lowlife that I am, I had never even heard of Moncler until this very moment.

    I think Bentleys are usually some of the most beautiful cars around, but I'm lukewarm on the SUV. The light circles near the headlights seem a bit fussy. The Prius on the other hand just looks strange.

    It's not like Chicago is such a paradise on earth, but the author manages not to insult them.

    I noticed that. It's like they just can't avoid the snide remarks.

    I think the monorail idea was part of the original Houston Center development plan, and was abandoned decades ago.

    I'm sending this to a friend in Chicago, just to gloat. So when (not if) Houston becomes the third largest city in the US, do we get a second MLB team?

    We can only hope that Smisek is smothered in lawsuits.

    I think they're still plugging away on the interior. From what I can see peering through the windows, it doesn't look bad.

    I'm not quite there on the gold paint, but it definitely speaks to my turquoise place. Agree that the awning looks skinny or something, but in all fairness that is more accurate for the time period.

    Fleeting, like many fads. I think it was really only popular for a decade or so, from the early 1950s to 1960s. The post-modernism of the 1980s and brutalism of the 1970s also had short shelf lives. I just dug up some old photos, and when I get the chance I'm going to do a post on Houston's historic turquoise buildings.

    Luminare that's so exciting. I'm really happy for you having that kind of opportunity.

    Yikes! I love it if it is for real!

    Let's see, a black bottom portion with skinny windows varying in width, coupled with a white upper section with broad windows varying in height. Yup, makes perfect sense to me. One wonders how things like this ever get approved. Does no one ever pull the architect aside and say, "Um, sorry, but that's really stupid and ugly"?

    The Lamar Hotel block? That was maintained as surface parking for at least 15 years.
  24. Subdude
    To me it just looks ugly and disjointed.

    Here's the observation tower that didn't quite happen.
