they covered up the brick facade by gluing the new facade to the brick.

it is the glue that ruined the brick facade.

well, the glue and the ugly stuff it was holding on to the brick...

Pavilions redo...

skyhouse rental office...

haven't seen noticeable progress on this in a while- that doesn't mean they're not doing anything...

this was the second stop on the stumble today (the one that turned into a stroll...lol)

1111 Travis? Is that going to be the Hilcorp address?

Anyway, peeking in the wind screen on Main at Dallas

I went for a little stumble today that turned into a stroll.... I swung by 4 construction projects- Sky House was the last.

Corner of Leeland and Main, note facade up two floors, they'll do something different above that.

txn44art, wasn't Christine a 57? Or was that a 58.

My first car was a 67 Dodge Coronet that my dad bought new in 67 when I was 3

2) I would put retail on the bottom floor, on Travis St

I walked around downtown tonight. I visited Frank's pizzeria (mmmmmmmm) after stopping y the Red Cat to see a dear friend perform. Frank's was busy, even at midnight., so retail would work here  

that's about what time Calvin B showed up at work today... maybe the 'copters were sniffing the weed scent... LOL

I think I'm going to have to start taking my 'puter to work every day so I can post updates... can't figure out how to post Flikr photos to a web page on the android phone

Crane is going up.. I'll post a picture later

I'd say the square hole covered with caution tape is a crane pad, as is the hole in the lower right side of the pic.

y'all's angle is better than the one I get from the top o the Pavilion's garage  

It's anywhere that a 713 number starts with 32

Skyhouse from Leeland. They are building the crown right now.

Most of the glass is in place, but a lot of the corner facade needs to be installed

They have already removed two feet of dirt from sections of the site. In going to guess we're in a prep stage for the new Hilcorp tower

Something is going on over there- there are at least four backhoes there, and the bottom of the old foundation is either gone or covered with dirt piles

Ok,.....Im new here, I just joined about an hour ago. Um....my memories of cruising westheimer is that each highschool had a different parking lot. I went to Dulles High, so we had The Sigmore Station. That is where we would base ourselves the cruise the strip from there. Another school had the babies r us parking lot.....ITHINK it was clements or blue ridge.....dont remember. Anyhoo....most parking lots along westheimer were bases for a school or area.

Coug

I thought the D-Word had the bank parking lot... that's where all my D-Word buds and I hung out. (Westheimer and Montrose, SW corner of the intersection)

I guess we were so cool we took over half the damned strip.... LOL

they should close that part of Main because you can't drive on it anyway- there's nowhere where yo can take a right turn to get onto that block, and you legally can't turn left onto that block after crossing the tracks, anyway

takes the same anount of time to gut, implode, and clean up a building as it does to disassemble it, plus, you can do other things on site while disassembling the building.

some of the hospitals in TMC have parking contracts with lots in the area called Smithlands, so yes, a shitload (excuse the French) of TMC workers park there and rid the choo choo in to work. It's a shuttle for them.

you gonna live in Texas you're going to see STARS.

^^^ lol

yeah, I'll feed the troll this time, I'm still laughing at this one... LOL

Demographic center of Houston is at I-10 and Silber

I had In n Out this morning, at the one by LAX  

my San Antonio friends are taunting me with the news of them moving in to that market....
