I've seen this structure going up and couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was going to be. The more you know...

Like when Frank saw Blue in Heaven after his unfortunate passing during the KY wrestling match.

This must be over my head or somethiing because I have so many questions...

Who's Frank? Who's Blue? Who passed?

A KY wrestling match?

Or a KY wrestling match?

Or maybe they're the same thing?

I'm so confused but oddly intrigued...

If you go back and re-read the comments on this page as juvenile innuendo, oh boy

Why would I have to go back? That's exactly how I read them the first time... and it was glorious! 

I have beer in my profile pic. That is all.

a jenni's would do well there... not that i'm a huge fan.

I read this in Forest Gump's voice. Not sure why, but it made me laugh.

It looks like 3 ottomans stacked on one another... but I like it well enough.

The same way birds poop...

 

That's how that hot steamer ended up on the middle of my hood when I was down town last week!

Looks like my dreams are crush

I live within walking distance to both beer gardens.  I can't wait for this area to be renamed the BGD(Beer Garden District).

That would be truly glorious!

"There are just too many beer gardens around here" said no one ever! ;-)

Monarch if you talk in the same style as you post here I think it would be absolutely mesmerizing. Maybe you should try to get some voice over work that you write the dialogue yourself.

I can just hear Morgan Freeman saying "excellent illustration as per this magnificent edifice".

If this is SoDoSoPa, will the Hardy Yards be Shi Tpa Town?

Soon

Dickeys is a chain, so humongous that I saw one in Vacaville, California last week.  

 

I tried it.  I was not poisoned.  I also had no joy.  It is a chain BBQ place that fits in perfectly in suburban hell.

Small world. I'll be in Vacaville in 3 weeks for a wedding. And no I won't be eating at the Dickey's.

Also the last time I was there my friends took me to a Mexican restaurant called Chevy's. I ordered Queso to start and they looked at me cross-eyed. Apparently they don't serve Queso there. I was appalled! 

Certainly seems like a missed opportunity to build out as much track as they have, covering so much of the area and not have a train to the area with the ballparks and Six Flags.

The idea is exactly that you would transfer from the upper car into the train below after the car is picked up. It would be very simple. The upper car would lock into place above a fixed stairway and a hatch would open in the bottom of the upper car (and the top of the lower car and you would walk down or up the stairs. To limit chaos there may be one ramp for up and one for down. They would have to be timed to open and allow movement within cars between stops. For safety they would have to close automatically with ample time for riders to transit between and then lock out any late-comers.

I in no way think this would ever happen in this country. But I think it's a very neat idea. I hope China attempts it so I can check it out some time.

Am I the only one that hasn't heard of any of these stores before? 

Nope and I have no interest since the concept of luxury means very little to me. But I do want to go check out this development just for the developments sake and food... always the food.

There is a Chinese engineering idea to run trains that don't stop but rather pick up filled cars as they pass a train station. It's pretty ingenious.

The cars sit on a second level platform and travelers load into them. Then the train comes by underneath and catches the car filled with passengers. The passengers head down into the train and the empty car is left at the next stop after picking up the full car.

There is a cool video on YouTube. I'll try to post it but I'm not sure it will work.

Just checked out your website. I really want to check out your Bird Flight Night but why on a Tuesday man? I can't be going to work the nest morning once I get on the whiskey! ;-)

The most up to date satellite imagery I've found online is Nearmap. It shows the date of the current images in the corner. As of today it's August 1, 2015 for Houston. You can browse it without a subscription for a short period of time.

I'm not terribly familiar with Dallas developments. What is being built next to the bridge? Is this a new road project or just a widening of the bridge or something else?

A new shopping center going up at Falcon Landing and Gaston across from Tompkins High School. Kroger, movie theater, green space, Gringo's, and several other typical chains.

You can't polish a turd.

I take it you haven't watched much Mythbusters.

One can most definitely polish a turd.

This is and has been my favorite project going up in this city in the current cycle. Growing up near Chicago my idea of a ballpark and associated neighborhood will always be Wrigley and Wrigleyville in Chicago. It has such a great vibe, is pedestrian friendly, has a fantastic collection of old brick buildings that are used for pubs, restaurants, apartments, etc..., and almost no surface parking (everyone just rides the train to the games). The area around Minute Maid can never be the same but I feel like this project along with the many other projects going up around the park can lead to a modern version of a vibrant urban ball park neighborhood. I'm so glad this is turning out to look as great as I hoped it would.

i feel bad that she has clydesdale sydrome which i wonder if that is hereditary...i bet its hard to shop for shoes, speaking of which...the poor lady on the right wore bedazzled flip flops so you know there had to be all kinds of dirt and rocks between her toes   People really need to dress appropriately for events, unless of course this was a surprise party of some kind... 

 

edited to add that i truly feel for the middle lady who braved said event despite her feet being wrapped in some sort of orthopedic brace...
