this was part of Toni Lawrence's push in making Long Point a major corridor. a few key intersections were going to get nicer improvements. the turning lanes will help get traffic through.

Wirt is looking nicer now. hope the SuperMercado stays clean. maybe it will pick up some of the Fiesta business.

not sure about the north side of Long Point..those neighborhoods are not improving.

what, you're saying that bus bar across the street from mmp is not revitalization?!!

Well he got them from the same place I did, KHOU's news video. I searched this thread for "architect" but came up empty. Do we know who it is? I thought I've asked this before.

I know who is on the short-list and is who highly considered.

those images are preliminary, probably a quick study model to get scale and proportion for the site.

anymore updates as to who is going in here?

Spec's is opening down at the Home Depot/Starbucks between Wirt and Voss. I'm thinking its the same store relocating.

I'll bet you a case of beer he isnt the president of the Dynamo's 12 months from today.

I probably know more than you do, so I won't take your bet.

I see him here until the completion of the stadium.

not real. I downloaded it and looked at in GoogleEarth. stadium has too many seats with too much additional offices/mixed-use. The Upper deck seats face the west/setting sun. there was a lot of time spent designing this plus the little pieces of advertising. probably a UH design project.

the real stadium will be 24-27,000 seats with shed roofs. the field will be depressed to take advantage of sight-lines.

and Ollie is not going anywhere.

those stores were low budget and over head mom and pop stores. they sold Magic cards, sunglasses, cheap sports jerseys and Hot Tropic/goth kid art bags and t-shirts.

were any of those stores going to last long? nope.

and Drink still packs them in. there is always a line on the front sidewalk. even at midnight when I'm going home.

I'm surprised they are going to tear down Drink and Improv. the Improv is nice on the inside.

we need a stadium similar to this, but with more covered walkways

what is the status of Fatburger? I've never had one and still hope they are coming to Houston.
