    I think it's just a pumping station. Seems like it could be sealed up or something. I don't know how the students at the Rice School across the street stand it.

    I wonder if they'll have Rhythm AND Blues or Rock AND Roll?

    Cool. What's on the interior, besides your balcony? I have a friend that lived there years ago, but I remember it being an external unit.

    The graphics are a bit much, IMO.

    Love you too, Man. Thanks!

    The rendering is "taken" from the corner of the 24hr. The building on the left (stucco) is The Calais.
  7. rsb320
    No, the rendering appears to be on the northwest corner of Elgin/Louisiana, opposite the 24hr Fitness. (See downtown in the background.)

    Swamplot is reporting that The Mix has signed its first ground level tenant. It will be a Japanese restaurant. The renderings are pretty sweet.

    Okay. I thought you were going girly on us.

    No, but I know where you can get a nice paisley bb. WTF - why would you be looking for such a thing?

    It's probably because they got tow-up by IKE. Many other trees look worse that they did a year ago, but a regular tree can be pruned of the dead wood. I think it was the storm. Hell, I completely lost three palms.

    Kids table with me...

    Are you into the brew this early in the afternoon?

    At the HAIF happy hour last Friday, I felt as though we were being watched by eyes on the outside. Anybody want to fess up?

    With construction costs down right now, it'd be a really good time to build... if they could finance.

    What's up with retiring Justice Souter being a lifelong bachelor? Have we had a gay justice and just not known it? I'm just sayin'.

    You can sit at our table, but on a first-come first-served basis - and you can't be bratty.

    Most buildings downtown do have parking incorporated into the them. However, the capacity is generally not adequate for all tenants who drive to work. I wonder if Hess will have any underground parking. I sure hope their stand-alone garage across the street has a ground-level retail element. It doesn't seem like two floors of underground parking will be enough for ES, but then again, they may dig out that entire block for parking and then the building would only occupy a portion.

    We have a first on HAIF. It hasn't helped that we are so spread and that Big Oil has always dominated. Southwest Airlines also lobbied against rail between major Texas cities. We will have commuter (heavy) rail one day. These areas have begun to fill in and it seems more feasible now. With the recent gasoline price instability, I think many are beginning to change their minds regarding rail. I've voted for it every time since it was first brought to the table in the 80's. I don't understand why people refer to the Red Line as a toy train. I've used train systems all around the world and just can't understand the toy reference. Have you seen a car that the "Toy" has collided with? I do have issue with it being at grade though. I really wish it would have passed in the 80's and we'd have Monorail zipping overhead, all around town - truly Space City. Oh well.

    Why didn't I make the list, I'm a Freeway Interchange with over a thousand posts?

    Everyone but me. I tend to look like this after a few beers.

    Whoa! That gave me vertigo. Where is this photo taken from? Excellent shot.

    Off topic, but is that Pennzoil Tower going up at the top left. If so, construction began in 1972 and was finished in 1976. Your placement of Embassy Suites looks pretty accurate... over in that baron wasteland.
  24. rsb320
    Eeeeeeeeew! Why did you make me do that?
  25. rsb320
    I'm not quite sure either, but I assume it's a place where douchebags go.
