I think this type of development would be great for entertaining super bowl guests. The Texas Rangers and Dallas Cowboys are working on financing some sort of town centre with entertainment and shopping around the perimeter of the new Cowboys stadium, Ameriquest Field, and Six Flags.

Inside the new Astrodome rendering...

Wow, I've stayed at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine for my wedding anniversary, and that rendering of the Astrodome looks astonishingly similar to the Gaylord's atrium. I hope they can make it happen.

Forgive my boosterism, but this shot is amazing

what the hell?  hello?  some people are being extremely stereotypical and to an extent racist and do not even realize it.  and before you even claim i am playing the race card or cannot take a joke, i am not stupid and you and i know, as far as ethnic group, who was the majority at the party.  sorry but that was truly offensive and quite ignorant.

Ditto

Except P. Diddy is an A-list celeb I get the feeling this party is really bothering people in this forum.

Alot of other genres musicians don't come from, hang out, or dwell in the places hip hop artists do. Honestly, alot of these guys will and do get robbed in their own neighborhoods. I don't condone their actions, but I certainly understand what's going on.

I personally think that problem with some of these guys is that even though their wealth has changed, their surroundings and associates have not.

Yes, and Jacko was also found not guilty.

You and I BOTH know P. Diddy fired that gun in the club.

The rapper who did the actual shooting got 10 years. Puffy was facing time because of illegal gun possesion when his suv was stopped by the cops.

I wonder what other celebs were there? Its pretty cool this is happening in downtown Houston. This is something we usually see in Chicago, NY, and Miami on television.

How about them Rockets!!!

^^LOL, When I read that, I was like WHAT?!?

LOL, yeah they are moving dirt, but I hardly think that a waterpark 50 miles away will sway the voters, esp in Feb. I'll try and post some pics in the Galveston subforum.

Does Houston have any big plans to put on the table for 2009? More downtown retail would be sweet!

1960, dang! I may never taste one of these burgers.

I read the article and the first thing that I thought was casinos on the island. I don't know, but a theme park would be nice. What ever it is, I hope Galveston benefits, because it sure could use continued development.

We've got the islander Backe on the mound Wednesday, lol you know I had to add that in

Well, I would like to believe Galveston would reach 100,000, but a lot of replys lately on the board are like "I wouldn't ever consider living on the island". How does Galveston grow in population when more than just infrastructure problems are frowned upon by potential residents?

The new causeway is already going up! It looks like its going to be taller than the existing one.

Yes, the University of Texas Medical Branch campus, and the American National Insurance Company building in the background.

^^^Very true.

Does anyone foresee ole Galveston reaching 100,000 year round residents in the next 20 years, if not then why?
