    Noble energy is relocating it's HQ to the former HP campus and will build a new 20-story office building at the intersection of 249 & Louetta. When completed, the Noble Energy campus will comprise of nearly 1 million square feet of office space.

    Houston In The 1980s

    Remember J. Christophers, good stuff. It is a lot like Kineally's pizza. I think they still have a location in Kingwood. I also remember many a little league (Spring/Klein) baseball party at the pizza place over in the Kroger shopping center at the corner of Kuykendahl and Louetta. The name escapes me, but the pizza was good...was it Royal Pizza?

    We lived in Ponderosa in the 80's , I remember the BMX track over on the other side of the bridge along Kuykendahl. We always used to ride bikes and hike down there by the creek. A guy I went to school with made the papers after finding a Kimodo Dragon down by Cypress Creek. It was evidently released by a pet owner.

    ExxonMobil Spring Campus

    in Going Up!

    Posted

    Exxon is apparently going to be moving to an area in Spring (Klein ISD), South of Spring Creek, west of I-45 near the Hardy Tollroad Intersection where they own a 1,400 acre tract. They already have legislative approval to create an Improvement District there where they have plans to develop 20 Office Buildings (3 million sq. ft), wellness center, labs as well as a town center, retail and housing.

    Ulrich Intermediate School At 10103 Spring Cypress Rd.

    in The Great Northwest

    Posted

    I've been going to the KISD zoning committee meetings for Ulrich Intermediate. Looks like the favored option is to use the railroad tracks as the dividing line taking everything to the west. My concern is that this creates a very low income school population. I have a feeling that Ulrich is going to start out as a Title 1 school. My neighborhood is right outside the edge of the boundary and my fear is that one day we will get moved to Ulrich (seems like we are affected any time a school anywhere close to us is rezoned).

    There was another option on the table which provided a very good mix (socio-economically) for Ulrich but the Krimmel folks in Gleannloch near threw a fit when they saw that option - thats when the district came back at the second meeting with the new option to use the railroad tracks.

    What do you think? Should I be worried about property values if Ulrich is a Title 1 school?

    I doubt it would be a Title 1 School. What are the neighborhoods that will be zoned to it? Are there a lot of apartments? That other Middle School outside Windrose doesn't have stellar numbers either. Will this new school relieve that?
