they're RGB LED. they don't use the green much....

oh, the irony... LOL

it took them a week to bust up that old bank vault

Heh.

"iconic" seems to be the big buzzword of the year, but people who use it really don't understand its meaning.

Either way, roads are never named after politicians unless they're well-liked by the area/nation as a whole. 

you have never been to West Virginia, have you.

Everything in the state, except the state itself, is named the Robert C Byrd this, the Robert C Byrd that....

i have no problems with things like the William J. Le Petomane Thruway 

you can see the Gulf sign on top of their old building in the 1972 police helicopter video that is posted in this sub section somewhere

in Brazoria County, 288 is called the Nolan Ryan Expressway

Yes, stacks and stacks of new facade

last week

oops...anyway, you get the general idea...

they have lovely red LED lighting at the top of Skyhouse.

my camera is messing up so I can't get the photos off it.

Hotel Alessandra will for sure start in the "3rd Quarter this year"..., reliable source.

they are currently salvaging materials from the unused spaces where allesandra is going, then once SkyHouse's leasing office moves to Skyhouse, they will demo and salvage that.

then... my coworkers and i get to take out our aggressions with sledge hammers on the soon to be demoed space, then the real demo crew comes in  

the grass on the roofs is real, and needs to be mowed... lol

I recently met an older gentleman who built his home on jackwood and fondren  

huh huh huh, he said Jackwood.... lol

(one of my minions's parents lives on that street, on the same block)

oooh.... snap... I'm having that face made into a gobo and putting it in an outdoor ellipsoidal fixture so my client who lives in the noon shadow of the AHR can shine it on the AHR at night....

LOL

one problem... that's a '76 Cutlass wagon...

they have the first few floors worth of old windows removed on the Travis St side now. 

the interior was completely gutted. It's not pretty... lol

Bentley's was at Woodlake Square. when the closed down, it became a teen bar called Club Soda. Every time i hear Boston's "We're Ready", I'm taken back to lying on that dance floor, that album cranked to full on the PA that we built, pointing at areas where my bud Dony Stevens would aim one of the pinspots that were mounted on a dome shaped truss. This was 1987.

It later became Bayou Mama's in '89 or '90.

I still keep in close contact with the guy who designed all three of those clubs, along with Numbers, BMC, HoB etc.

the NFL sets up their own little area for the foolsball fans to go to- the rest of the city doesn't benefit.

I know many friends in New orleans who were disappointed about the lack of business in their areas during their SB (last year? The year before? I don't remember)

best place to move the bus station is at Washington and Elder- right behind the cop shop, so that none of the typical ignance that comes with bust stations will occur... lol

covering lebron pays the bills at ESPN... lol

1) pipe wrenches come in sets of varying sizes  

2) the fence now has a huge sign that says 6 Houston Center. 

Yes.. they are just on the escalator overheads

The green roof is cool. They finished those today. Pictures later.
