It looks great! You're right. Finally see downtown as it is not as it was 4 years ago. It looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a chance to check out that view earlier in the year, really awesome spot for any photographers wanting to snag a skyline photo! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something stunning and bold, like Piano's "The Shard", that would give Houstons "front door" skyline a facelift. Its actually a superblock, so you could fit more than one high rise there, but one signature skyscraper there would be awesome. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Are you suggesting replacing a park with a skyscraper? No, that's a terrible idea.

No, I'm not suggesting getting rid of the park, although it's only used as a gigantic homeless urinal and nobody would miss it anyway.... I'm saying visually and aesthetically, having a skyscraper in that position would be beautiful, it's a perfect spot for one. If it offends your delicate senses that much, pretend there was no "park" there and then imagine what having a beautiful skyscraper there would add to the skyline. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Tranquility Park is a nice park in a good spot for a park. Don't need another skyscraper downtown, especially in that location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasota Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Well that was obnoxious. Obviously if you're suggesting a skyscraper there then you're suggesting getting rid of the park. And no, I don't think it's a good spot for a new skyscraper. I think it's a good spot for a renovated park. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgriff Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I walked by that park daily for years. Maybe it’s better now but back then around 2009 it really was used for drug sales and use quite a bit. I wouldn’t say it should be demolished but maybe reworked somehow.

Texasota Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 That's the plan, but there's no funding for it yet. Tranquility Park is definitely better now than it was in 2009, but it has the same problems most midcentury parks have - it's designed defensively, so it has these weird walls and bottlenecks that create places where visibility is limited and questionable deeds tend to be committed. It definitely needs to be reworked, but it's still a valuable space. especially for larger events that can spill out across the park, into Hermann Square, and around the library.

Texasota Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 How dare I respond your suggestion with my own opinion?!?!? That said, agreed. No more discussion of future theoretical changes to the skyline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
