This thing looks great! 

I agree with Howard Huge. Vertical is great but I would take 5x20 story buildings over 1x100 story building. We need more infill over one or two big buildings.

I'm not very knowledgeable on the whole draft situation but I too want Case to succeed.

I will say that this season has given Case so much more experience, confidence and presence that he can be groomed to be a great back up or potential starter somewhere. Though he isn't doing as great as we had all hoped and dreamed, he is still doing much better than anyone had given him credit for before the draft in which he was eventually passed over by.

I honestly cannot fathom a situation that Kube and Schaub will stay with the organization. It is apparent that the play calling is too conservative, and the quarterback doesn't have what it takes under pressure. On the positive note I was thoroughly impressed to see Schaub scramble, get out of the pocket and run for some yardage last night. That was a big improvement for him in my mind.

I love this team, and though things seem bleak we still have what it takes to be a high caliber team. We merely just need to make a few changes, and hopefully we will have a chance next season for redemption.

This site is moving incredibly slow recently. Glad to know the base is finally on site. They are going crazy over at the BHP site across the street

I just meant less concrete with the more natural original feel

I will say if the mini bayou comes out well then that would be pretty awesome to see. Hopefully it is a vision of what we all have our future big bayous look like.

Kinda underwhelming in my opinion 

Man that Rockets/Spurs game Saturday was one hell of a Lone Star Shootout! Good guys came out on top!

Sitting at 13-5

Since last seasons forum we have a few questions answered.

Will Dwight Howard come to Houston? Yes

Will Jeremy Lin rebound after the Linsanity hype and pressure of last season? Yes

Are the Rockets able to obtain more depth and use the bench effectively? Yes

With all that has transpired so far this season the Rockets are off to a great 10-5 start. Where do you see the Rockets going with this season, do they have a chance at obtaining another title this year? Will the Howard deal eventually pay off in dividends?

If anything these Rockets are fun to watch and as the chemistry builds they have the potential to be a real powerhouse.

What do you think about our team this year?

I love this project. So fantastic

Will they ever give it a real name?

I was under the impression 2929 Weslayan was the name.

Similar to 2727 Kirby

its hard to tell with the crappy weather, but is the south side up to the 20th floor (halfway mark)? it looks like i count 19 floors on the north side (side closest to the webcam)

EDIT: just double checked. looks official... ladies and gentlemen, we have hit the halfway point!

Are you counting the first floor as double? I'm counting 19 still

Edit: Okay yeah you are right. The weather did make it difficult to count lol

I'm lovin it.

Bada bah bah baah

Man.... She looks sexy next to that dude 

Got moved up to the 6th floor from the 1st at work. This is the view

how come this one is getting a crane so fast and Astoria still hasnt gotten a proper crane yet, even though theyve been working on the site for months?

The BHP site has been much more active than the Astoria site since BHP broke ground. Astoria keeps drilling holes on their site.

We have the base of the crane

I think you can walk across the tracks. Not many trains.

Nothing says style and class like walking over a railroad hump on a narrow busy road with a sidewalk inches from cars.

Edit: Add in the drainage ditch to the equation.

It's like saying, "should we renovate Empire State Building?" Everyone would say no.

I'm not sure a single person here would put Chase Tower in the same realm as the Empire State Building.

The building is almost halfway to the top.

Is it halfway to the top or halfway to the bottom 

that's a photoshop.. i know because I have seen a few in my days, and can tell by the pixels  

 

That thing is beyond laughable lol I love it 

Images of a scale model of Astoria below at the link. Can't grab them off the site.

Took some screenshots

Pics please.

I did have one a few weeks ago on my phone but didn't post since it was night time blurry. The place awesome though.

The excavator-mounted hydraulic jackhammer they have on site today is making my desk vibrate, making it hard to work 

Have they begun work on the lower bowl below grade?

From October 21st

Concourse

Below grade
