    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.

    Greenstreet, aka another large food court in downtown Houston.
  3. Howard Huge
    Well I think the whole thing was meant to look like Union Station next door, right?
  4. 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

    My personal preference though would be a subway of course. Completely invisible, no interaction with vehicles whatsoever. The construction period would be a b!tch but, hey so is anything else you build.
  6. Howard Huge
    Yea me too.But with all the Whining Wendys in town you know someone would b!tch about the sun being blocked out, how ugly it is, how it costs too much (everything costs too much) I would love it though. It would be like the 4 train from Manhattan to the Bronx, once you get into uptown, its elevated almost the whole way. And whats good is that the street underneath is still used, and full of retail

    I still dream of some sort of train going down Westheimer, from Elgin at UofH station all the way down to Hwy 6, West Oaks Mall station. It would probably rank among the highest ridership lines in the nation. If it were to be done, how would each of you do it? Subway? Light rail? El? Monorail?

    Huh?

    So they're saving the big digital clock?

    i wasn't referring to rooftop signs in particular, I'm talking about the signage ordinance in general. The one that makes streetscapes like these...... ......impossible in Houston.
  11. Howard Huge
    Really? I wonder why they gave the Galleria skyhouse signage but not downtown? I think it looks awesome!
  12. Howard Huge
    Too bad downtown still has that retarded sign ordinance that's really holding our downtown back. Show me pictures of the most dense, vibrant, colorful, people filled urban centers in the world and tell me what they all have in common....

    Did he have a wife and a life insurance policy?

    Would make a nice residential restoration project. Is that art deco?

    Third times the charm?
  20. Howard Huge
    Yes! Lots of positive implications here, a third full size grocery store in Midtown (Randalls, Whole Foods, Fiesta) will REALLY give midtown that authentic neighborhood feel. This will open the door for lots of other soft goods retail, hopefully some major clothing reatilers, Midtown really lacks in shopping options.

    Oh shut up Cloud, you're just another one of these idiot keyboard developers on HAIF who isn't even even worthy of typing the Almighty Ric Campo's name in your posts.How dare you post something that disagrees with Campo? Just do us all a favor and never post any criticism of him again, ok? He's so much smarter than you that one of his bowel movements knows more about successful developing than your dumb ass will EVER know.

    Spotted today by a buddy, these container cranes have just landed at Morgan's Point. If this is any indicator, we are about to see a LOT more cargo come through Houston because of the Panama Canal widening. Houston Economy!!!

    So by that logic, Hines, The Novare Group, Leon Capital, JLB Patners, Midway, and Houston First (who recently started construction on a downtown office tower/hotel, yet oddly enough is run by the same guy who says now is a bad time to start contruction), are all about to lose their collective asses in the next 6 months since they have all recently started construction on large projects in a time when only a bunch of idiots on HAIF would build, you know, because of construction costs being too high.It will be sad to see all of the above companies build themselves into insolvency over the next 6 months, especially Houston First. But at least Ric Campo will still have his job with Camden when that happens.
