I second the nice comment.
Heres a different perspective on just how massive the building is.

Authority Likely to Join Dynamo Stadium Project
FOX 26 Sports has learned that a task force will recommend the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority get involved in the negotiations to help build the Houston Dynamo a new stadium in downtown Houston, if certain conditions are met by Tuesday.
The source did not identify those conditions.
The task force, made up of members of the authority, was assigned on March 1 to consider the request by the City of Houston and Harris County to take an active role in the negotiations.
The Harris County-Houston Sports Authority will have a public meeting of its task force to finalize its stance Tuesday.
The Sports Authority will get involved if the full board votes for the task force's recommendation and if Harris County Commissioners Court and Houston City Council also give it a thumbs up.
The Sports Authority will consider the issue at a full board meeting Thursday.

The article also mentions how exactly the Sports Authority "will become actively involved", "if all those things happen".

So this building looks like it might be "for real".

Didn't have time to post this earlier, but Chron.com mentioned that they just broke ground on this project.
Couldn't find an article on the Chron. So I went to ABC 13, but found a ridicilously short article. 39 News had good info. And a quick google search found this blog that looks intresting, "OffCite". Also when did the Tolerance Bridge change names to the Rosemont bridge?
It broke ground yesterday at 11 am, with Mayor Parker on hand.

Thanks to ES's small size, it will start to grace the southern skyline in just a couple months.
It seems like they average almost 1 floor a week!
that is fast
In a half of year to a year from now, when I'm at Discovery Green, and OPP, ES, and Hess Tower are all done, Im actually going to miss the ongoing, never-ending construction that has occured there since it opened. But who knows, maybe that new convention center hotel will actually happen.
-
I just want them to hurry up and build this, so I can see how the exterior ends up looking.
-
Good progress...

I was just trying to understand what district this building will be associated with since there are so many districts within downtowns 1 mile radius. Once banners get posted on every corner to advertise the convention center area will our CBD get renamed GBD ?...Perhaps a year round banner for GB will be hung at the corner where this building is being built.I thought there was 1 downtown...
http://houstondownto...bout/Districts/
It's in the Theater District. And yes theres just 1 downtown, its just there are numerous districts within Downtown. It isn't too confusing, just don't pay attention to them, there just there so you distinguish certain parts of DT from other parts.
For example even though, in actuality DT isnt large in area, different parts of it serve different purposes, and you can be in the convention center district surrounded by parking lots, or on the other end of it, you can be in the skyline district surrounded by skyscrapers.
The districts are just markers for a person to distinguish what part of DT they're in.

there is no confirmed name. lawsuits have already surfaced with safety point. as for a star. GEO CLOONEY is not even a wish. but if you know anyone with HIV from the 80's they may be an extra
Well, until further name changes, it should stay as "Safety Point", as IMBD(internet movie data base), has the title as safety point. And IMBD is a good source, so any future name changes to happen, they should be visible there.

I thought he was just throwing out some names, not saying what he heard. At any rate, they also shot on Arlington in the Heights, and a scene near or in Hermann Park of some people watching a homeless man get hit by a train or something like that, so I guess the site doesn't list all of the shots they got.
Well the site(now the site has been closed), listed only future shooting sites, so I presume they wouldn't list past shooting sites.

That Chevy commercial is idiotic. Only in auto-centric Houston would somebody park their pickup in the middle of a baseball field where kids are playing.
A commercial on the idiot box being idiotic? Go figure
BUT, a great view of DT. First, it was just a kid and his dad playing catch in an empty field, and then they turned it into a baseball field so the kids could enjoy it. They parked the truck there to show it, it was a CHEVY commercial after all, not a little league ad. Nothing to do with Houston being auto-centric. Guess you didn't get the point.
