here is the pic of the attempted burglary. a barricade was not constructed for the glass, instead LV placed temporary glass till the spec'd glass shows up for installation. oh and i've added some pics of the LV store since none were taken on previous photos

pics of LV before the grand opening....

Do you have a link to an article about this attempted breakin? I can't find anything about it on Google.

The rents at Domain for 1 bedrooms is $920 - $1800, and $1620 - $2244 for 2 bedrooms.

nope, but i'll do better...i'll ask my friend who works at the firm that did that louis vuitton to forward me the pic he sent me a while back. i'll post it later today...

regarding the rent..i thought 700 was too good to be true, lol.

I wonder why Pure Autuer and Vertigo58 did not mention this earlier?

are they connected to the developers??

anywho, last i heard my friend had to draw up a sketch for a barricade for the damaged window till LV gets the new glass shipped. they even sent me a pic of the damage. i can only imagine if that glass would have shattered how much merchandise would have been lost

so i went to visit the domain. some friends of mine took me there as they did the louis vuitton and stuart weitzman store there. it's close to UT. i must say the area where it's located is kind of weird. all these business buildings. feels like it's in an industrial area....or at least to me it did. but when ur standing in front of neiman markus looking down the shops it's a different feel, IMO. some don't like the style, but i do. i also like the resedential units up top. one of the g.c.'s told me that the units were starting off at $700 which i think is a bargain!! especially considering the residential have a parking garage. but i never verified this amount.

all in all i think it's ok. the unfortunate thing is someone already trie to break in the louis vuitton store by throwing something at the glass to shatter it. luckily the glass has a film the prevented the glass from breaking

what i do like about austin is the attetion their houses have to be green.

wow, i just passed by this church the other day and it's pretty big!! everyone told me it could be seen off the freeway and that when i drove that way I wouldn't miss it....they were right!!

i was wondering out of curiousity is this a non denomonational church?? also i noticed someone posted that it too 500 ppl to raise the money for this church to be constructed, where was it's original location?

Yes the house, but not the museum, which was designed by Renzo Piano.

ahhh yes, Renzo, he was one of my favorite architects while i was in college and still is

It's kind of ironic how Philip Johnson did the College of Architecture building at U of H, yet when i attended the college almost everyone i knew hated the building or shall i say they didn't like Philip Johnson calling him a "copycat", but then again no matter what u do one can never please everyone. there will always be someone who hates it.......

It's Houston. In the Spring. Couldn't they just open the doors and wait for the roaches to fly right in?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, that's funny cuz it probably would work, LOL
