  1. I agree. And Montrose is one of the areas besides downtown where the most people are walking, so I'd say it's pretty important. However the city doesn't seem to care about sidewalks in general. By the way this is the site we've been talking about.
  2. Today on my way home from work at the Metro station.
  3. Is this just a renovation of the old Wendy's into something new or are they doing a teardown/rebuild? I was doing some bar hopping on my bike on Sat and I saw some construction but I didn't look too closely. I will try to take a photo next time.
  4. Here's a larger photo of the full rendering. I like the new top rendering better. I think the blue coloring looks better than exposed concrete.
  5. I definitely don't prefer the empty lot, but it could have been better... It's not an amazing location right next to the spur. At least the spur isn't incredibly high traffic like 59 but it is pretty ugly. I'm just glad we got something on this lot. It'll make walking along richmond to wheeler station a bit nicer with the updated sidewalks, and actual people being there. It will probably make the area a bit safer too.
  6. I wish there was a way to make a post persistent at the top of the thread so I didn't have to keep skipping back 5 pages to find the rendering. I thought I'd put it here again to save other people the trouble. I really wish we could see this from more angles. What's that groove along the one side? I wonder if the side facing the bayou where all of the Houston skyline photos are taken from has a similar feature or if it's just flat. At least it's a rounded rectangle floor plate rather than a simple box.
  7. It looks to me that the just didn't get the lighting right in the rendering.
  8. While I'm not crazy about what I've seen of it so far, it'll make a nice impact on the skyline from Midtown and parts of Montrose which is a good thing. I'm looking forward to seeing more renderings from different angles.
