Popular Post hindesky Posted March 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2022 I talked with a Gilbane worker a few day ago, asked him when the crawler crane was coming for the precast garage, he said it wouldn't be till May. The other AT crane is gone. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corbs315 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 somewhat off topic but they need to do something about the northbound main street lanes at the intersection with Wheeler/Richmond. I've almost been clipped 3 times in the last 2 weeks by people unaware that the right lane is turn only. How can they fix that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post quietstorm Posted March 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2022 Was at an event there recently and was given a tour as well. The space is very-well laid out and reminds me of where my kids work in the Bay Area and NYC. 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing is noticeably aggressive and consciously ignorant of Houston's role in the Texas/American economy. He paints an image of Houston's economy being as diversified as that of Venezuela.

arche_757 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Aaron Seward was the former editor for Texas Architect. For those who aren’t as familiar with that publication it is heavily Austin-centric. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see a minor mistake, you're supposed to just write angry, sanctimonious rants on the internet under an anonymous name.

BeerNut Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Aramco joins Houston’s innovation hub The Ion as a founding partner Quote Aramco Americas, the U.S. subsidiary of Aramco, has joined as a founding partner of The Ion. Through the partnership, the two organizations will create educational programming, events, workforce development opportunities, energy transition leadership, and more. The partnership will take place over the next three years. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastdwntwn Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I thought the goal of the city and the ION was to diversify Houston's economy? Seems to me that most of the partners are O&G companies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Most big O&G companies have realized they need to diversify, so it wouldn't surprise me if they want to be in facilities like this to do R&D toward renewable energy. And if Houston wants to remain the energy capital of the world as energy shifts to renewables, it's great if companies want to be doing that here too. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston is so well situated to dominate the energy and medicine sectors for the next 50 years. It's just going to take some of these huge legacy industries realizing they need to embrace the future and stop looking backward. I think Ion is a great first step toward making that happen. We'll see... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
