    FWIW, Temenos Place II was 9 years old. so excited to see this finally get underway. I can’t wait for the “nightmares”🤨

    LONG overdue. That roof was collapsed more than 5 years ago. Was easily visible from MetroRail.

    10 seconds of Googling brought up this: https://www.equalitytexas.org/top-5-texas-senators-on-lgbt-issues/. #5 (tie) John Whitmire Whitmire is the Dean of the Texas Senate, having served longer than any other member of his chamber. He’s also the only committee chair on this list. Committee chairs have a lot of power to move or stop legislation and Whitmire wielded that position of influence like a sword of righteous truth this session. He’s the author of SB 492, the Senate version of the Romeo and Juliet equalization bill that Rep. Mary González so deftly steered to the House floor. Whitmire’s been in the legislature for 42 years and is still going strong. He’s exactly the type of elected official the LGBT community needs on our side.

    This was part of the Tenneco headquarters facilities. The top floors included employee amenity space, including a pretty amazing fitness center and a beautiful and large atrium-like dining space. (Tenneco’s headquarters was in what is now the Kinder Morgan building.)

    Oh, so you're the source of the misinformation. Good to know. 😉

    Are you suggesting the person who identified himself as the general foreman didn't know what he was talking about? 😉

    I would expect Oxy will probably be occupying something in the neighborhood of 1 million square feet, so . . .

    Restore Kirby Dr to what? This section was also completely rebuilt in the not-too-distant past and is in better condition than most of Houston’s streets

    They should tell their cashiers. In my experience, they consistently (without exception) say they don’t have it.

    When AIG created the separate corporate entity known as Corebridge, we had thought it would be a new Fortune 500 company for Houston. Apparently, they were not completely "deconsolidated" from AIG yet. So, maybe next year we'll get to add Corebridge.

    Yeah, this absolutely should be in Galveston. Major miss.

    I’ll check my numbers. Did HBJ provide a list?

    What you are missing is that projects get VE'd, delayed and canceled in other cities as well. I presume you are not seeing it because you don't follow other cities as closely.

    . Relax, indeed.

    HAIFers excel at finding a cloud to wrap around every silver lining.

    It actually seems pretty clear that is not the case. Crane had said at one time he was talking to the church/school about doing a joint deal, but from the looks of the filing posted above and comments on this thread (including a later comment by the same poster you quoted here), that apparently did not work out. The church/school are building their own parking garage .
  21. Houston19514
    Yes. A typo. And I missed the brief edit window
  22. Houston19514
    Yes, and as far as I can tell (and according to the filing posted above), the church and the school are building the parking garage.

    While I liked the new library plan in the Collective, I never liked the plan to move out of the current facility. It is a beautiful building in an awesome location. Shame on the past library/city administrations for failing to maintain it.
  24. Houston19514
    How so? It seems the church and school are building this parking garage for themselves.

    Parishes need the permission of the Ordinary and his finance council to spend funds over a certain amount, which usually means that the purchase and sale of buildings would require the Ordinary’s permission (c. 1291). This requirement is meant to protect parishes from their pastor spending large amounts of parish funds without any check or oversight. https://ordinariate.net/parish-property-ownership
