    HOUSTON -- The fenced-off remnants of a gutted Fourth Ward church are about to become the centerpiece of a new Houston park.

  3. The Houston city council approved a proposal for a new park in Midtown today. The park will be surrounded by the walls of a church that was once severly damaged by a fire in 2005. The park will take 2yrs to be completed. I'll post more info; renderings later.

  4. New Dynamo stadium is nearly a done deal

    From Khou...:D I just post this in the 'Dynamo Stadium' thread a few seconds ago lol.

    HOUSTON -- The Houston Dynamo are finally going to get their new stadium.

    They cleared the final hurdle this week by getting funding from a Spanish bank based in Madrid.

    The Dynamo is paying about $60 million toward the cost of the stadium.

    The City of Houston and Harris County will pick up the rest of the tab.

    The stadium will be built across Highway 59 from Minute Maid Park where the Houston Astros play.

    It will seat 21,000 fans and will have around 35 suites.

    The Dynamo say they hope to keep the average ticket price under $20.

    Construction will begin in the fall and is expected to take about 18 months.

    The Dynamo plan to play their season opener at the new stadium in 2011.

    Since March of last year, [Matthew] Morgan and [Kevin] Kirton have submitted various versions of their permit application eight times, and the city has rejected it eight times.

    Since one definitition of insanity is taking the same action repeatedly and expecting a different result, some observers have speculated that the developers were building a record for a lawsuit. The language in their timeline shows they
