    I would love to see renderings of it. I've been trying to imagine what the building would look like, given what would be surrounding it.
  2. The Great Hizzy!
    That's a shame.

    That's what I was thinking, too. Glenbrook Valley might also be a good option but it has a pretty uninspiring string of townhomes square in the middle of it plus a stretch of unspectacular apartment complexes closer to the airport, otherwise the homes are lovely.

    The mystery grows... I'm trying to get an idea of what property that might be, though. Seems a couple of miles west of the Galleria on San Felipe would be about Voss. There's already a pretty good amount of activity underway at that intersection.

    DAPIMP! I had a University of Florida personalized plate before I moved to Texas. I think the vanity plate thing in Florida trumps Texas $65 versus $40.

    Sounds exciting!

    They may just have to sit and "deal with it" after all... http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5287614.html

    This thread is utterly hilarious, and the usual suspects are along to post in ways that don't even leave any mystery behind their intent to make you laugh at the ridiculousness. Downtown Dallas more vibrant! Brilliant!

    You get a real feel for Uptown's area in that photo, including just how much room there is for redevelopment. It would be cool if one of you really crafty graphics fiends could come up with a composite sketch of how the Uptown skyline would look with all the proposed projects (Turnberry, Cosmopolitan, Titan, River Oaks, High Street, etc, etc) built out.

    Probably just small, cosmetic changes.

    That seems quite ambitious for that section of land. Of course, it's hard to really get a feel for the scale since historically all we've had to go on was the lot to a car dealership. In any case, it certainly will be a volatile addition to that area of town.

    Given some of the other "new" projects to go up in the Heights, this one seems to fit right in. The gray is a nice change of pace from the stereotypical beige/brick brown that often comes up.

    This should be good...

    In all fairness, DT Denver really isn't that much busier than DT Houston. We're not talking about a complete ghost town of a CBD on weekends or nights but it certainly isn't where it was or where most of us hopes it will be.

    I agree that $7 in general ain't half bad but I can also see Tex's point.
  17. The Great Hizzy!
    Holy crap!

    I don't know about crowds but those signs on all the buildings are more overbearing than the billboards along the North Freeway.

    So I take it that they're working from south to north?

    If they're really concerned about the conditions of Bissonnet, they should fight to have the eastern most section repaved. Driving that thing in the condition that it's in is easily twice as troubling as any potential traffic from the new highrise.
  21. The Great Hizzy!
    Same here. I especially like the Data East and Sega brands, not so much the Bally's, though. It really depends on the game.

    Even Flint, Michigan went out of its way to revamp (or even rebuild) its convention facilities in lieu of the down economy and GM's gradual exodus back in the 80s. The bigger the facility, the bigger the events that can be held there, hence more people coming into town to spend much desired convention dollars. Makes sense both fiscally and intuitively.

    It's almost as if they waited around to see "what's in it" for them and then when it looked as if the answer would be "not much", they decided to align against it.

    I have no idea what in hell the "detriment" could be to either group but here's their stance on the hotel project... http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5257204.html

    That's quite impressive. I wonder how the funding is broken down... you know, percentage on acquisitions, maintenance, facility asthetics, etc.
