  1. Since I moved to Montrose I haven't been in that area in a long time but I'd love to see the bridge. Maybe I'll ride down there this weekend and try to take a photo.
  2. It's nice to see another crane up in H-Town. It's been a while since I saw one of those.
  3. That's what it said. Nobody is allowed in any of the buildings within the security perimeter. Now whether they'll actually enforce that is another story.
  4. The Prudential Building (Currently MD Anderson's Houston Main Building) is scheduled to be demolished on January 8th. Here's an article from Swamp Lot, and here's the safety perimeter map. I can see the Prudential building clearly from my lab at TCH but I'm inside the security perimeter so unfortunately I can't watch it from my lab. Does anybody have any good ideas about where the best place to watch the demolition will be?
  5. Did you guys know that there's a live webcam of the stadium construction? It's a live video feed instead of a photo which is pretty cool, although unfortunately that means it won't work with SlothCam. http://www.houstondy.../stadium/webcam
  6. If this project is dead, then it's the second office/retail project to be cancelled on that section of Binz. The other was on "Binz Med Corp" near Binz and Crawford and the sign was also removed after a year or so after it was announced with no other information about what happened. Actually their website still exists... http://binzmedcorp.com/main.html
  7. I with the retail was going to still be part of it because I always like having more places I can walk to.
  8. Is this still the final rendering? Or Were any changes made before construction was started?

    Wow, great to see some actual new rails!
  10. I was there and there was a sign that said "ring the bell if you had good service", so I rang the bell... twice... and nothing happened.

    Cool video, thanks for posting it! So when are they going to start laying tracks?
  12. Obviously nobody knows what will happen before it happens so the 100% thing makes no sense. If he had meant it like that he would have flat out said that they weren't going back up. Things like this have been done before and it's definitely possible to build turbines that can withstand the kind of wind we get here so I think we'll see them up again at some point, but obviously we're all just speculating here.
  13. I thought I saw something up there as well but I wasn't sure if it was turbine related or not. I sure hope so.
  14. I think somebody might have posted about this in the "Richmond Landing" thread (not sure why).
  15. I saw this out the bus window when leaving Wheeler Station. Does anybody know anything about it? http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/8325/img8004v.jpg
  16. It kind of reminds me of the BRC at Rice with the brick/glass facade.
  17. I saw a variance sign on the property today! That's a good sign that this is moving forward.
  18. Here are some photos from my walkthrough after happy hour at Chuy's last week. It is VERY nicely done. And it already feels like there are more people walking on the sidewalks on this part of Kirby than there were a few years ago. This is what urban development should be.
