    Sorry for the image quality! I noticed it when I was driving home and so I decided to come back around for another pic: THEY ARE TAKING DOWN THE EXTERIOR BRICK NOW!

    Surveying team is on site. You can probably see them in the 609 Main webcam.

    Good catch.

    From what I've been told, that is still in the works but is many many years away. The idea is to improve Cullen now rather than wait for the street to simply get worse. Uofh is all about image at the moment. The master plan is to shut down that portion of Cullen between the stadium and the rest of campus, build future classrooms and housing there, and eventually have an interior bus route closed off to public traffic and have it circulate around the entire campus.

    It used to be a Finger Furniture location: http://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2014/02/finger-furniture-parcel-of-gulf-freeway-bought-by-houston-developer/

    As Texasota pointed out, you won't be able to like those arches for too long. That building is potentially on the chopping blocks across the street. They are REALLY going to have to improve the lighting under the bridge if they are going to claim it is pedestrian friendly. Not that it is a dangerous underpass, but I can say that at the same time that I certainly don't feel safe and that's coming from someone who's not even walking under it but riding my bike! Either way, excellent use of that land! Sounds like we could expect the samething across the street.. perhaps. Hopefully it is sound proof though cause I'd hate to be listening to trains while I'm studying for finals. Edit: ok wait.... Seriously.. what are they talking about. No easy access at all. In the end, Third Ward is being bombarded from all sides now with development. From TSU to UofH to the Midtown area and now from the north of I-45. Even Scott St. is getting a lot of new fast food joints, gas stations, etc. I will love to see this area 5 years from now.

    Thanks for the info and welcome!

    No worries! This project is definitely going to happen and it's a good thing to hear that it will happen this year.. finally!

    Ask and ye shall receive! Photo tour of the western side of Third Ward. Here's the site right now which is also in that photo tour:

    I don't have enough time to go into full detail like I usually do, but since there was a request made, I decided to make a quick tour of the rapidly changing western side of Third Ward. The red line is the route I took starting from Midtown and then going into Third Ward. The black lines boxes represent development either under construction or very close to being so. As soon as you cross 59 on McGowen, there are already new homes going up on the left side: This is the future site of the 2020 McGowen midrise... the variance signs are up: Townhome variance signs are also scattered across this massive lot as well: Same lot for future townhomes: Anybody need a leather couch?? The people moving into these townhomes will! (Note the existing townhomes in the distance) Emancipation Park closed off for a complete overhaul: Development is starting just north of Emancipation Park: Now heading north: The quality of this development along St. Emanuel is very nice: And some of the development along St. Emanuel is surprisingly very modern looking: Including this one on Hutchins St: Moving eastward along Webster: Very peaceful area: So peaceful in fact that this guy is chilling in his red hammock! Yes... we are still in Third Ward if you can believe it... this is along Bastrop: Check out the multi-family midrise in the distance: Along with the renovated park, the city is also targeting the area with brand new sidewalks (this one taken along I-45): And I'll end it on this note to give the area some perspective... all of this development has been within several blocks of this station:

    Just photographic proof.... from today. 2014-04-29 17.14.05

    Are you talking about the Camden sign on Travis? It has been there for many months.
  13. Triton
    I'll just start a whole new thread.
  14. Triton
    Eastern lot Western lot
  15. Triton
    Turning into a real beauty.
  16. Triton
    Wow, I have no clue why I never thought to take it from the parking garage. Excellent pics... tons of cranes!
  17. Triton
    is that a second crane going up?
  18. Triton
    Sure thing. Guess I can just post them here... or maybe create a new thead and link it here? The only other cool thing is that Emancipation Park is being completely redone just a few blocks area. The other thing people don't realize is that this area is definitely being targeted, not only with the new light rail on Scott, but also with the brand new sidewalks which were finished just 2 weeks ago. There's cheap abandoned land everywhere here and it's going to go quickly.
  19. Triton
    ...Unless you are talking about this one but this has always been on the same lot in this case:

    A guy flew off the Main St. bridge right next to my home!! He went into the I-45 traffic... absolutely crazy!

  21. Triton
    Wow! Talk about some weird demolition techniques. Are they trying to tip the top of the building over? They have definitely slanted the top portion! /s
  22. Triton
    Drove by today just 30 mins ago for a late lunch. All the activity is light rail related. Nothing for this site yet.
  23. Triton
    Just to give people an idea of the neighborhood that this project is going into, most might be surprised that THIS is the new Third Ward newcomers are coming to. This is a block over from this development on Hutchins St. between Hadley and McIlhenny (spelled correctly).
  24. Triton
    There's A LOT of activity going on there today. You can also hear a lot of "rumbling" going on inside... not sure what it is. They have the fences open at the garage, the front, and even on West Gray.
  25. Triton
    I'm a little confused. What was the purpose of closing down the road? Besides the new black screening, I don't see anything new demolition wise.
