  1. I'm sure at least 3-4 times as many people worked at this location than will be future residents here if the townhomes go through. I may begin to believe the concerns of traffic and infrastructure if this becomes a large apartment/mixed use building.
  2. Getting ready for development perhaps? IMAG0505 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0506 by dv1033, on Flickr Another old apartment complex demoed alongside Richmond, Mt. Vernon, and Yoakum ... too bad rail won't be serving the apartments sprouting alongside the planned route. IMAG0510 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0511 by dv1033, on Flickr Some new townhomes going up near these apartments IMAG0508 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0507 by dv1033, on Flickr
  3. The weather and lighting was somewhat bad, here are some random updates by me: Ashton @ Rice Village is one of my favorite projects and it's getting close to completion. IMAG0493 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0494 by dv1033, on Flickr Some mixed use IMAG0499 by dv1033, on Flickr New sidewalks IMAG0500 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0501 by dv1033, on Flickr Phase 2 would be at the far end on the left IMAG0502 by dv1033, on Flickr Bonus update: Children Assessment Center (CAC) is where sexually abused children and their families go for haven and help is undergoing an expansion. It will consist of a parking garage (well underway) and about double the space. It across the street from the apartment complex.

  4. It's not permanently killed. METRO screwed itself with it's incompetence/corruption from previous administrations but the area along the University and Uptown Lines are gentrifying in spite of the lack of plan. I don't mind BRT along the proposed routes, but I just want a plan that eventually upgrades to LRT. No doubt these areas will need it eventually.
  5. I get your point. Personally I'm less concerned about mixed use than getting a higher residential critical mass in midtown.
  6. Per the article^ Not too bad and only took ~13 years to complete all 3 phases. Not to mention similar projects nearby completing 2nd or 3rd phases.
  7. I'd rather have it built where the people and jobs and have to wait longer for it to get built.
  8. So is there also something going up in the 24 hour fitness location across the street from the said McDonalds?
  9. Unfortunately the area around abandoned rail lines aren't that conductive to mass transit in a sunbelt metro.
  10. Quantity over quality isn't always the best way to go. In actuality, both our rail system's are in a poor place, but I prefer Houston's position for the near future. DART has the issue of building rail where the people aren't, METRO has the issue of having no money to build rail. If we could just actually build our rail and not at the expense of adding more buses and park&ride we would have a great foundation.
  11. Capacity issues challenge hotels in The Woodlands More good news for The Woodlands
  12. Place will have a bunch of competition with the 552 apartments that will be built across the street. Culturemap:
  13. This is great news. Hopefully we can go from Shepard to Bagby sometime in the near future.
  14. Considering HSPVA sits on 2 blocks I would say your standard Houston mid rise apartments.
  15. Some updates by me from a bike ride: IMAG0468 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0469 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0470 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0471 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0473 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0474 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0475 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0477 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0478 by dv1033, on Flickr IMAG0479 by dv1033, on Flickr
  16. This is really awesome news. More parking and more hotel rooms will not only help the convention center but also make us look even more attractive to sporting events such as all star games, super bowls, and soccer.
  17. Now I'm curious about this buck naked dancing at 2AM that will drive kids from their beds. No homo.
