I've been meaning to give the new location a try. Today, however, I passed it up in favor of Byrd's and tried their turkey and swiss. Not a bad sandwich but a little expensive. Ziggy's is definitely next up.

One can only hope. Those are some gorgeous sightlines. The design elements and shapes, particularly along the rooflines, represent a nice change of pace for Houston.

Embassy Suites By Hilton Houston Downtown At 1515 Dallas St.
The Great Hizzy! replied to ricco67's topic in Downtown
Nice photo angle. I'm very excited to see the asthetics of this particular corner after the completion of the new hotel. The location already screams vibrancy.- 956 replies

Camden Travis: Multifamily At 2700 Travis St.
The Great Hizzy! replied to roadrunner's topic in Midtown
The project's turned out nicely, IMO. I realize there was some consternation over the lack of retail included (or the complete absence of it) but given the retail opportunities near by, I don't think it's a big deal. If anyone would ever develop the superblock, that would be one of the more desired areas of Midtown, especially when you consider the proximity to the McGowen rail stop.- 221 replies

In my ten-plus years of living in Houston, I've seen about a two dozen gators, and roughly half of them have been in or along the banks of Buffalo Bayou. I have a co-worker who saw one crawling into White Oak Bayou just as you're past the I-10 heading into Woodland Heights. Doesn't seem like the concrete basin would be appealing to them but that's their story. But back on topic: part of me agrees with Subdude in that I would like to see more of the original construction and design incorporated into the renovation but the new design isn't unattractive to me either. My bigger issue is with the pace of the bayou's restoration going east towards the Ship Channel. The bayou would be more of a draw if the city would make longer stretches of it approachable.

Embassy Suites By Hilton Houston Downtown At 1515 Dallas St.
The Great Hizzy! replied to ricco67's topic in Downtown
LOL @ construction porn. And I'm interested to see what the landscaping will be around the hotel. I actually like the landscaping around some of the HC buildings, and given the popularity of Discovery Green, I hope the hotel maintains a nice mix of urbanity and greenery.- 956 replies

I suspect the image isn't of accurate proportion and that the stadium will appear to be noticeably taller than that in real life.

The Great Hizzy! replied to ricco67's topic in Downtown
If I'm not mistaken, didn't the original image of La Quinta's design have a bit of a Mediterranean theme to it? It was actually more impressive than anyone expected when the news first came out. Of course, I might be confusing projects.- 956 replies

Kobe can't throw elbows with broken arms. Problem solved. Too bad Joey Dorsey can't suit up tonight.

It seems most visible when viewing it from the north. It actually makes quite an impression on the Museum District skyline.
