    The Main St. site would probably be the best if it were to be something more "radical".

    http://www.coop-himmelblau.at/images/projects/groning/groning0.jpg' alt='groning0.jpg'> A competition would be a great idea. A selection committee bold enough to do some of the above would be fantastic!!!

    I will take some shots of the new MOMA when we're in Manhattan next week. I'll post them here when I return. I'm anxious to see how the art works in the new environment as-in my opinion-the museum should only serve as the back-drop.

    Hadid has done some fantastic work but she has a reputation for being "difficult". That may be because she is a successful woman in a man's world. Maybe if she was a man she would just be aggressive.

    A new building is in the talking stages for the MFA. It would mainly house the 20th century and contemporary collections. The museum has 3 sites in mind. One is at the current garage location on Fannin. Another is across Binz from the garage and a third is north of the Mies wing off Main. There are any number of world-class architects worthy of the job. I'd like to hear any suggestions you might have regarding the selection. Here's a few of mine: Renzo Piano [Menil Collection; Cy Twombly] Yoshio Taniguchi [MOMA and the new Aisa Museum in Houston] Zaha Hadid [Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art, Cincinnati] Rem Koolhaas [seattle Public Library] Those are but a few of my choices for architect. If you could add any pictures with your choices, that would be great. As always,

    There are two inside the loop. One on Cavalcade and one on W. 18th

    McCains at Heights and White Oak is open for buisness. They have a coffee bar, fresh meat and seafood, cheeses and deli items plus lots of oils, salsas, pastas,etc... Give it a try.

    Well, that's the first time I've ever heard anyone call inside the beltway "the beltway loop". From the "Cultural" page of their website: Sounds like mall culture to me." "? I'ts western border in Beltway 8.

    The Pavilions do not an island make. Roll with it, yo?

    My nephew told me Rock of Ages is a monument supplier-as in headstones. He also said they are moving out soon and that McCains might take the entire building if they do a good buisness over time. He also said they are shooting for an opening next week if they can get city approval on the last of their permits.

    Bar-B-Que Inn-Crosstimbers at Yale: The chicken fried steak is a cardiac on a plate. Oh yeah-what Watchful said: Triple A on Airline. Oh yeah again: Texan Cafe on Shepherd just inside the loop. Nasty good.

    Damn! 15 pages??? They BETTER build this thing!

    A smart one.

    I asked my cat...she said she hasn't heard a thing...but what does she know anyway?
  16. nmainguy
    Uh, yeah, semipro...here's how I responded to LTAWACS: So your downtown friend? Are they in the know? Or just someone who likes the sound of his/her own voice?
  17. nmainguy
    I agree. This is a complete hoax cooked up by a Vast Left Wing Conspiracy. You can tell because the city bent over backwards to grant the developers a TIRZ. As we can now all see, the city has been completely overtaken by Baby Killing Gay Homosexual TIRZ Granting Liberals. Gee whiz, LTAWACS, I assumed your AWAC had that all figured out-or not. [bTW, this thing is going to be built ]

    ..and another good catch for Montrose...I think they were aiming for one of those ladies in red!
  19. nmainguy
    Good catch, Red.

    Thanks for the heads up, 2112....you were on our waiting list for recruits. You just opened up a spot...

    They have taken about 2/3rds. The balance already houses something called Rock of Ages. Don't know what that is.

    ...and here's what it really might have looked at-from FLW himself!

    My nephew gave me a tour last week. Looks pretty good. He said they should be open by the end of November.
  24. nmainguy
    Maybe the next "could" be built downtown. For now, the new one is nearing completion in the parking lot of Demar Stadium.

    I'll tell you one thing: after 14 pages in this thread, I think we are all as virtuous as the Virgin Mary!
