    And... back on the market...

    This is what the anti-rail crowd has been praying for. Maybe now we can get a more comprehensive and timely bus system.

    For mixed use: sanitary sewer improvements, transportation improvements, and site drainage/retention. I'd guess this will sit vacant for many years to come. Perhaps an industrial office park at some point.

    They're town-homes and it looks like the plan was just extruded up without any concern for the sectional scale qualities of one unit to another. Nice location thou.

    Not a bad stab at community programming. I take issue with the use of signage to create "brand identity." It just sounds like a flimsy premise. Precedents at a similar neighborhood scale would be a useful analytical tool. However that could have been skillfully omitted b/c my gut instinct is that if you close a street for pedestrian use it becomes a no man's land after dark. I'm can't put my finger on it but I believe this was done in Philadelphia and that was the resultant after the banning of autos from the street. Also you might want to contact Susan Rodgers at UH, she's an expert at this type of programming and probably has an "in."

    I noticed that the tracks from the train yard have been taken out.

    Our Lady of Lourdes is the church next door.

    LOL, reminds me of that weird al song "dare to be stupid" I miss Devo.

    What incentive was there in the first place to build tall as opposed to building outward? If other cities are planning these tall buildings then when will they start building them? Please provide construction photos. By what criteria is Houston's status defined?

    Brand linguistics and perceived connotations. There's nothing wrong with "fish" for lunch, but compare it to some testable market research and you'll find words like "seafood" are more likely to generate positive connotations. Words matter.

    The old Central Ford lot?

    The Sugar Land location also changed over to the Fish Place. "Fish" seems like the wrong word for a seafood lunch spot, imo.

    I think some contributory significance should be given to Robertson Stadium considering it was a WPA project.

    We finally got some shot blocking. Our defense this year would make Jeff Van Gundy cringe with horror.

    The baked chicken is excellent there. There is also a small Puerto Rican restaurant down the street that's pretty good (if still there), east of Montrose on the northside of Fairview. The downtown El Rey is a good lunch spot, which probably explains to stinginess of evening hours.

    You should do 10 push-ups for every time you post "ugh."

    Maybe they can run as tour guides during the day!
