he's definitely around i saw him and his son eating lunch about 1 month ago. he's always busy.

i wonder what the library's fate will be?

i thought they left houston in the 70's? the logo looks different from when we used to go.

they would look tacky

no, i can see that but also saw a phrase new construction in one article. doesn't the garage exist already and they are just leasing it? either way they are doing three blocks with aerial attachments above fannin and sanjac and one to the garage.

dodge i think.

noisewise the people i know in the area while they do complain about the horns, they say just having the trains go through the neighborhood is just as annoying noisewise i see how the bridges may eliminate the horn noise, the noise from the trains themselves will be almost impossible to eradicate. i think the grade separations would be even more helpful for keeping traffic moving. i know on the eastside, there are some areas that are blocked for quite a while.

sounds like you're not the Pavilions type person. that would be an embarassment to the project.

they are counting the portion that goes over the street as a block.

that's a new one on me. i'll have to refer to Merriam Webster this evening.

i know. when that part had the collapsed/leaky roof for yrs, you just wondered what was going to happen to the rest of it.

LOL that is funny! so what kind of thugs do you want? well now that bayou place is finally going to rent some of the space west of bagby (earthlink or whoever was moving there) things are at least improving there too. that space has been empty since its inception.

concur!!

there weren't that many units to affect the downtown residential population substantially.

no confusion. a thug will harass bartenders, create problems for customers, etc. i could care less how people are dressed. money is NOT what matters. if a thug is harassing customers, then the owner (of a place like warren's, etc) would ask them to leave. it's not about money. it is about keeping your good customers.

i can't believe you're using Real World as a source for anything!

there are certain sports related places that would more likely attract thugs just as there are those that would more likely to attract families. I can see that fox sports grill might attract a thug element just from the nature of the store. That is exactly my point. i never said location matters. the espnzone could go anywhere and attract thugs.

i personally see the espnzone, nike, etc attracting more of a thug element. that is something that needs to be avoided otherwise the project wouldn't be successful long term. i think the restaurant mix is nice one and could be great as long as access is easy.

they retop streets quite a bit just for maintenance purposes. they've let some of those go pretty bad (i'm thinking mckinney specifically) and a retopping is needed. my parents were just redone in the last 6 months.

Doesn't really matter since the majority of customers will be going by car.

the northbound bell station is slightly closer than the main street square northbound one.

you have to go out since she won't sleep with you after the bullet from the driveby last weekend.

i put an email from the president of the development who said the website was incorrect. when people still speculated after that, well i guess they are living in a dream world, not reality. like i said earlier, i think the restaurants will be a good draw as long as parking is provided. the bus at my corner goes right there which is good.

what a letdown retailwise. i do like the restaurants.

i found this on visithoustontexas.com Houston Pavilions Announces Restaurant Line-up Houston Pavilions, soon to be downtown Houston's premier entertainment, retail and urban office hub, announced that it has secured six new restaurants to add to an impressive lineup of tenants that already includes Houston's first House of Blues
