  1. Went inside the bank today. This old building is truly amazing.
  2. This is actually a very nice, and tall building. I took these photos today.
  3. I took photos of the 1021 Main parking garage but not the tower for some reason.
  4. Stopped by the parking garage today to take a few pictures. The facade is underwhelming, but the ground floor retail is great.

  6. The roof of Jones Hall has red illumination. Photo I took this week.
  7. I've been noticing this obsolete sign in the 600/601 Travis tunnel. I wonder why Hines does not remove it? Leaf & Grain Hines Property Management office.
  8. I noticed a boom lift this week. What's going on here?
  9. A photo of of Dixie's mural I took this week. Really amazing artwork she did a this Midtown park.
  10. I've been watching this slender field being turned into a road, or some type of utility/water easement.
  11. I took this photo of the dry fountain the other day. I assume this park was named after Elizabeth "Peggy" Stevens MacGregor?
  12. The Edwin T. Feigle type writer shop has been demolished. A few photos of the old 1960s building before demolition.
  13. Transwestern is listing this building for sale! The possibilities for that section of Midtown.
  14. Texas Surgeon Is Accused of Secretly Denying Liver Transplants April 11, 2024 https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/11/us/organ-transplants-houston.html A Houston hospital is investigating whether a doctor altered a transplant list to make his patients ineligible for care. A disproportionate number of them have died while waiting for new organs. For decades, Dr. J. Steve Bynon Jr., a transplant surgeon in Texas, gained accolades and national prominence for his work, including by helping to enforce professional standards in the country’s sprawling organ transplant system. But officials are now investigating allegations that Dr. Bynon was secretly manipulating a government database to make some of his own patients ineligible to receive new livers, potentially depriving them of lifesaving care. Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center in Houston, where Dr. Bynon oversaw both the liver and kidney transplant programs, abruptly shut down those programs in the past week while looking into the allegations.
  15. In 1917, Ross Sterling was building a mansion in Montrose located at 4410 Rossmoyne Street (later Yoakum Boulevard.) Mike and Ima Hogg needed a place to live while their Bayou Bend estate was being built. Ross Sterling leased the property to the Hoggs for a few years. When Mike Hogg left the property for Bayou Bend, another oilman moved in. Walter Benona Sharp. In 1902, Sharp, Ed Prather, and Howard Hughes Sr., founded the Moonshine Oil Company. University of Saint Thomas owned the property for decades up until demolition. The building had numerous names, including Second Women's Residence, and Spiritual Hall. Photos of the old mansion. Sadly was demolished for a few 3-story luxury town homes.
