    lights alright.. only way to distinguish it from 610. kinda hides in there, another ~4 floors would've been nice.

    Build it! We will come!

    speaking of food, your username is one of my standby's. i wish they'd open more around houston.

    yeah, walking... i guess thats tough for any area of houston though. i just remember once i was going from zaza through hermann park to tmc and back around to some of the museums and didnt see one establishment. i dont know where something could even go, but im sure a place close to the big circle at montrose would clean up

    lol. so yeah there is basically nothing. where do people who work in TMC eat for lunch?

    3forks is out? BIG bummer
  7. jc281
    alright. just seems like the whole area is lacking big time.

    Anyone know of some good restaurants/cafes in the area?

    if they can Ivy it up (ala 610 side of uptown pk by e-trade) I think it'll look nice.

    I think you missed the point....We arent talking about demographics...of course the area is great. I was referring simply to access. You have 2 huge freeways surrounding it and currently the only 2 feeders into the development are the little post office curved road (t&c ln) and the one leading to escalante's (t&c blvd). So my main point was the bw8 feeder going N to 10. IF construction doesnt change before cc opens, this is not a viable access point. Just sucks they could not acquire all the land to 10. Once the roads are finished (yes i believe they will be one day, but not before this centER is ready), it would be ultimate to have I10 and BW8 feeders pull DIRECTLY in , as well as the aforementioned back roads.

    loooooooooooooooooooooooool! Uh huh... before this development opens? i wonder. The first few months are very telling for an establishment's success - the way the access is for the forseeable future is a complete joke. which is why i said the developer better cross their fingers...

    went by today. oh my god, the traffic. midway better hope the the BW8/i10 disaster gets fixed SOON. hell, throw some of the tribble workers out of the bridges. i was excited about citycentER but will now avoid that area like the plague. from memorial to 10 on bw8 feeder took 25 mins, no wreck. some building looks like it has tenants , AT&T for one. its finished super nice, white exterior w/ some tiling....is this still the center or something else? the ones in the crane area look to be a drab tan color.

    dunno about others but t&c will have offices. with professionals. they hope.

    Yup, it would be have to be in the Houston area and there are some decent options, but it takes a ton of dedication for no sure payoff, IMO. As far as being happy with a co, it will all vary. A lot depends on the quality of people in your team and your manager. This can change drastically within organizations depending on which part of a company you go into (duh). Its a gamble - but as you interview try to feel around and focus on the most important thing - the type/quality of work. Since you are coming from Coal, research the variances in geological work as far as Onshore US vs. Deepwater GoM vs. Foreign projects. Seismic interpretation etc will be big in the newer exploration areas: Offshore Africa/Vietnam/Carribbean..the list goes on. If you are able to decipher a specific type of work within "Oil" it will help narrow your search quite a bit Best of luck

    It was really only one of the majors. No one seems to get anything they do anyway. Most companies are keeping everyone they possibly can and hiring more regularily. As far as the education thing, most will help you 80-100% -IF- you do it outside of work hours. (night school, uggg) Usually with some sort of contract in place too, ie. you stay for 2 yrs after graduation. The majors often have programs for the tenured elite employees that will send them off the top schools and get a master's while still on the payroll. These are extremely difficult to get but do exist.

    this thing is sick. amazing progress thus far. also heard the "condos" are just apts, so afaik you can't purchase anything in the whole lot. just leasing residential / office / retail

    I really dont get it either. I keep thinking they'll somehow remove it when move-ins start. Shame too, iirc the Titan renderings have a similar deal.
