I called and answered the question: the moving sale social media announcement was only to their members. The general public can't come in unless they've paid $55
-
They should be open today; but is it a sale only for $55-dues-paying members or is the public invited to visit?

Had it been built, it wouldn't have fared well in the 1990s glut years and would probably be hard to repurpose... is there any chance of infill redevelopment soon in the monotonous complexes that were eventually built there?

Haven't heard of Ted Trout but this site will be an interesting challenge to make beautiful and worth living in.

I hope there's a recall election real soon.
My reasoning: both of the finalist candidates in the mayoral race have a track record strongly established by many consistent witnesses (now over decades) of their personally treating underlings as something more like props and less like God's children, less like respected or gainfully employed public servants, less like their dedicated colleagues and less than even playthings, whether that was at the State Capitol Complex in his case or on Capitol Hill in the congresswoman's.
Many politicians are VIPs and tragically pounce on others to lord it over them. Staff warnings to newer professional staff in the two cities, however, show these two souls both have chosen to keep spending decades going beyond even the nasty norms in that regard.
This character habit of abusing the trust that Texans have placed in them may not make them incapable of leading people, or cities. But it certainly handicaps their ability to make decisions humbly and to own up to their mistakes (the past ones as well as mistakes in the future process of governance) before it's too late for those people or this city to benefit from that change of heart. As busy as the mayor of any city is, I do not guess that the one elected would have spare time and attention to break their old personal habits even if they decided it was urgent time for a change of heart. I will hope for that change of heart.

Very doubtful, because inmates was a generic term for someone residing in the housing of any institution, including college teachers who lived in campus housing.

I was disappointed at first when I heard we weren't getting the Enterprise shuttle, but what we got was so much cooler...
Good point.
"This was the largest item to arrive at the JSC dock since a Saturn V arrived for display in 1977."

Aha! Can see on the last image exactly where the stair rises in the foyer. Very nice foyer design for 1940 which is their wedding year.
Thanks!
That was a radically modern facade treatment for prewar Houston

Maybe it didn't flood this high this much before people paved Katy Prairie
CRS was influential in the age of schools built with windowless classrooms
If your school can't compete with the scene out the window you might need to reconsider what you're trying to ask people to learn

Off-topic, but after filling out their skills in educational architecture and construction, that same man you quote, Charles Harrington, "led Parsons into the biotechnology, semiconductor, and wireless communications markets," and then of course ... moved their head office from SoCal to Chantilly, Virginia, to compete as a defense contractor??

Glad that Diversified Design Disciplines had a few good years anyway. It was the product of a 1972 local merger with a large Austin firm:

"[Greenway Plaza] was valued at just over $1 billion during the issuance of a $465 million loan in 2017. The property’s value has dropped to $425 million, $40 million below the current loan balance, which remains at its original level. The new valuation comes in at roughly $98.84 per square foot, a far cry from its previous estimated cost of $239.53 per square foot."
That would be a nifty turnaround if RMC thought that the pipeline of startup demand could be created, for sure.

Ahem this is Fervo erasure.
Fervo is there too but the quotee probably would've gone on to mention Oxy and others before getting to Fervo, if that is your objection
Speaking of Oxy, their landlord who owns the Greenway Plaza complex is in foreclosure, if Rice Mgt Co wants to try to reposition that whole complex bit by bit as Ion Jr.

Good info but can't repost journalism like that, even properly attributed and linked

Wonder why they are breaking ground on the nonresidential building separately from the apartments which (per your aerial) appear not to exist yet either

@Sylvie Are you still looking for a new place? I have a lead, if you want.
