    Where do you think all these houston development "journalists" get all their scoops from?Hell, most of em owe 90% of their headlines to ol' Urbannizer.

    Yeah, especially with that pool right?I mean, I remember every time we've had a major hurricane downtown, the first thing to go was all the glass windows in the buildings. Well, that pool must be made out of some kind of 12 inch thick gorilla glass or something. Edit: Maybe it's this metallic glass thats stronger than steel http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=toughest+glass+in+the+world&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCwQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.technologyreview.com%2Fnews%2F422345%2Fglass-thats-stronger-than-steel%2F&ei=vvhdVdvsGoHBsQWnoYDQDQ&usg=AFQjCNGZeVpyyzLJHieX_RtnfSuv6Jm_FQ&sig2=dTbefeXXxX8-c_ni0coL-Q

    Does anyone know whats to become of the Antique store across the street? Is that place even open?? I never see anyone in there, ever. Those storefronts are prime retail space though, when Mid Main is complete and all the retail moves in this area could be amazing if you had retail on BOTH sides of Main street and not just the Natachees/Continental Club side.

    It is brick Marc! Zoom in to the scaffolding in front of the center blue column!

    What do you think, trellis and vines?
  6. Howard Huge
    I know! Imagine it happening so fast that the people in the pool get washed out with the water! That would give a whole new meaning to the "cannonball".

    That clock is digital, I don't care what anybody says.

    See, Midtown is building the garage, not Camden. Or am I reading this wrong?
  10. Howard Huge
    It's about damn time!!!
  11. Howard Huge
    Nope, it's got a hand that points to the numbers.Jesus, people will argue about ANYTHING on the internet. The clock on top of the building is digital! Let it go!
  12. Howard Huge
    I understand that, but "digital" clock just means any clock that doesn't tell time with "hands" and uses numerals or what have you instead.
  13. Howard Huge
    This is true.
  14. Howard Huge
    Or one of the Massive wing joints/sports bars, like BW3

    Yeah, but I'm talking about this corridor dead in front of the baseball park. Like right next door or across the street, ala "Homeplate Bar and Grill"There's room for another option down there, a big one, like ESPN ZONE, especially with all the new residential going up right here. The buzz on gameday would be amazing. Especially during the playoffs!
  16. Howard Huge
    Who cares?
  17. Howard Huge
    Stoner humor?

    I think Greenstreet will eventually land some soft goods retail. But it will happen well after the hotel is built and occupied. Also, Mayor Parkers office definitely has something big planned for this "retail district" they are tearing up Dallas street for, the question is WHAT exactly. It will all come, it's just gonna take awhile. In the meantime, I'm still with LargeTexas on the idea that once the GRB renovation is finished and the new hotel is built and occupied, that area fronting A.D.L.A and Disco Green will become a major retail destination, abuzz with tons of foot traffic. It will really give downtown that "pulse" that you see in the big cities downtowns like NYC and LA. Not on that scale obviously, but it's a start.

    They were driving a chrome Escalade?
  20. Howard Huge
    Its been said here before, looong ago, but a huge sports bar with lots of tv screens and beer would be a great retail anchor for this area.
  21. Howard Huge
    Greenstreet, aka another large food court in downtown Houston.
  22. Howard Huge
    Well I think the whole thing was meant to look like Union Station next door, right?
  23. Howard Huge
    No. Phoenicia is two levels of shopping but I consider it a "specialty" store, not a major grocer like HEB, Randalls or Kroger
  24. Howard Huge
    Huh?
  25. Howard Huge
    So they're saving the big digital clock?
