    In 1923, W.T. Parker built an amusement park located just across Sam Houston Park and Buffalo Bayou. Charles L. Browne was the architect for the amusement park. The amusement park contained these attractions and rides: Aerial Swing Carousel Caterpillar Concessions Dancing Palace Ferris Wheel Kiddie Play Ground Miniature Rail Road Pony and Goat track Roller Coaster Sunken Gardens Swimming Pool

    In the 1920s, Birdsall Briscoe designed Burdine Clayton-Anderson's house. This was the childhood residence of the infamous Houstonian Monroe Anderson - MD Anderson.

    This week I found a good, isolated, picture of the Gimbel building.

    I really like the ornamental decorations on top of the building. Totally Joseph Finger! Here's a photo I took the other week:

    Maybe I was looking at the wrong part of the building, but today I noticed St. Luke's Health has their administrative offices in the HCC building. Very cool! I'll snap some pictures in a few days of this cool old building.

    I read that Margaret Alkek's home at 3315 Del Monte Drive was demolished a few years ago. I was looking around for photographs of the old house. Google street view has a blurred image of the building and I can't see it. Here's an older aerial view that (could possibly) show the old mansion that was demolished.

    Cool old postcard I found of the Villa de Matel Convent.

    This week I learned there was a few churches here. Does anyone recall this? Was the Kinkaid School demolished for a church? I'd assume the churches were located inside the now demolished building. Picture for reference.

    Apart of Fort Bend Independent School District, Elkins High School is located at 7007 Knight Road in Missouri City, TX. Very interesting area. It seems the whole neighborhood is apart of a sports complex, school district. Here's an aerial view of the school.

    Last week I stopped by T2 to check the status of the Sylvie restaurant construction. I walked in and was very surprised to see a pop-up art gallery! ELLIO Fine Art & Texas Tower Celebrate World Art Day. April 8th - 19th, 2024. Photos I took of the art:

    My visit to TMCHP this weekend. There is pedestrian activity! There was an event with food and merchandise. This is a very good thing that people are starting to notice this amazing park. The park is kind of hidden. Hoping that the 30 to 40 story hotel tower will make TMC3 stand out from afar. There is actually all sorts of activities that go on here. Check out the official website for a weekly schedule! https://www.helixpark.com/ Don't want to get anyone excited but there is utility work going on outside the hotel parcel. Fingers crossed something happens soon! Dynamic One was touched up again. Now the base exterior paint matches with the rest of the building. Looking good!!

    Will there be street signage displaying the companies at LGB1? I believe those plates on the right are removable for name changes? Let's fill those up! The flowers/plants are in-season and look amazing. Love the blue and purple flowers!

    Site visit today. I haven't taken any photographs of the two vacant parcels in a few years. I'm sure something tall will go here. It will, however, take a few years to plan out. I'd love to have a mixed-use tower. A single tower containing office, apartments, residences, and retail. Vacant lot a long Westcreek Lane. Vacant lot a long Westheimer Road.
