    Houston is rich with surviving art deco structures, post pics of your favorite! I'll start: So simple, yet so classic, LOVE the pastel turqoise.

    Theres only one explanation for this. Cthulu is returning, and he has chosen you as his vessel.

    Ok, I agree with that, just not at the lot it currently occupies.Theres a throng of nightlife on either side of the superblock, Glitter Karaoke/Reef/Proof on one side, Leons Lounge/Mongoose vs Cobra/Capital Bar on the other, with the retail of the Superblock filling in the gap soon. If there was more bars/lounges across the street where Stewart is you would have an entire walkable stretch of retail/nightlife along McGowan possibly bringing in more development and rivaling whats become of the Post on west gray stretch. Also, Im stealing your Vespa idea, thanks.

    Speaking of the Red Line, I just had a thought. With 3800 Main going up, then The entire MidMain complex, then Match, then the Superblock project, then Alexan Midtown, that will cover almost the entire stretch of rail on Main in midtown, save for a few remaining empty lots: The two lots @ Main and Wheeler (former theatre and McDonalds), a full city block across from the Ventana (4001 Main st), and the huge parking lot across from the bus station/2016 Main. In my opinion, the most crucial block of those is the lot across from Greyhound. Since those building there (Central Bank, 2016 Main) are basically part of downtown Houstons skyline, I would like to add onto the skyline some more, either an office building, residential, or mixed use (with ground floor retail of course) in the 30-50 story range would be bad ass, and it would add to our skyline stretching into midtown. I get chills just dreaming of it! Hey swstig, heard any wild spec proposals concerning this lot?

    They switched the side the park was going to be on. The old renderings and proposals had the park facing McGowan.

    Sweet!Theres one check off my midtown bucket list...

    I think a "One Park Place" built on the cadillac land with sweeping views of the med center/downtown with the park as its backyard would be amazing at that location, and as you said, it would literally be right at the rail stop. Prime location right there, damn you Stewart Cadillac.

    It's my charisma and seductive intelligence.

    Excellent post!Going on what you said about building around the parks, and seeing the impact disco green has had, do you think the park on the superblock will be big/significant enough to spur any additional development around it? Perhaps a developer buying out the Cadillac plot?

    I dont really want to debate the probability of if or when this is going to happen, but rather let's just assume it is going to happen at some point. What is your opinion of the next step of midtown growth? Will we build UP? Will we tear down the old and build new? Will midtowns boundaries expand? I'd like to hear yalls opinion...

    Ive been on this board since it started pre-crash, just under a different screen name.

    Something tells me youre going to have to be really rich to live here

    His arguments seem legit.You really cant have a functioning tunnel without extra shoulder lanes for emergencies, just look at the Washburn tun................oh wait.

    That would be a "SkyCrane" helicopter...

    You mean The Sheila Jackson Lee Show?

    Bingo.The traffic during peak season, in and out of G-town has gotten progressively worse over the past couple of years since the pleasure pier opened. The seawall is now a full blown tourist attraction, its not like the Galveston of the old days we all remember when we would take a peaceful 45 minute drive down south, park on the seawall for FREE and spend the day on the sleepy island. Now its about an hour and a half to two hours to get there, depending on how bad the bottleneck at Sagemont is and you now have to PAY to park on the Seawall, IF theres even any parking left since the seawall during the summer looks like the Katy freeway during rush hour these days. If there was a train to the Island, Id ride it.
