  1. WTI is $57 a barrel and Brent just topped $65. It could be far worse. People are still buying homes; it's only the lenders who have gotten cold feet.
  2. So is Mongolian barbecue, which is also all-you-can-eat. That sort of grayish green seems to be in vogue; I have absolutely no idea why.
  3. I could have sworn the only difference between this picture and April 7 is the crane is pointing in the other direction.
  4. Possibly. Then again, the plan is to deck over the trench, so they could build on the air rights. As it is, that freeway proposal is the most ridiculous idea I've ever seen - 28 lanes of guaranteed congestion, right in the heart of Houston.
  5. As I recall, the Omni in Dallas looks down on the Convention Center roof. Or is it the surface lots?
  6. The incentives are back. They had ended in 2012 when the market got really tight. Hard to tell if the 5% vacancy rate has become 10%.
  7. I guess their "everything in Houston is on hold" meme just went away. Of course, it may help that WTI is at $56 a barrel.
  8. They wouldn't grow fast enough. You'd be planting them just to tear them out. But sunflowers might work...
  9. There is a "food desert" running north-south through the center of Houston. Ripe for an Aldi or a Winco (or two or three). Even Trader Joe should find a niche.
  10. Dallas is seeing some proposals that won't start till next year, so Oct. 2015 isn't all that far off. WTI's at $56 a barrel, too.
  11. That's a great location. Come home after a long day at the office downtown, and pop across the street for a basketball game or a Lady Gaga concert.
  12. Closer...closer... I'm only going to point out once that the BHP Billiton tower went up in 12 months, while this thing has been potzering around for longer...
