Jax Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) I don't know how you missed it, it's there, right in the center. There used to be 3 empty lots in it's place. This photo I took a year ago show how it used to look when those lots were empty (left side). Edited February 25, 2008 by Jax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Keep looking... it's there. I can't see it either. lol I think they were joking, because the photo is so amazing, your not looking for the pavillions, your just looking at the skyline.

Triton Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I can't see it either. lol I think they were joking, because the photo is so amazing, your not looking for the pavillions, your just looking at the skyline.No. The Pavilions is the blackest building in that photo, except for the roofs of some buildings. It's in the center towards the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonartstudent Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 someone told me an Apple store is coming to downtown. This is the only place where i can see them opening up. any word?I looked it up on the ifoapplestore.com(main rumor site) of any future Houston stores, and the only one coming up would be at Willowbrook Mall...if they can have one why can't downtown?!?...I think it would be a hit with all the convention visitors and business people downtown.

Jax Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 someone told me an Apple store is coming to downtown. This is the only place where i can see them opening up. any word? I mentioned that would be a cool a long time ago, and although doubt it would happen, I think it would be awesome. It would give all of us Rice/UT/Baylor/UH/etc students a closer place to get our Apple fix than the Galleria! I would definitely go to an Apple store downtown over the Galleria any day.

Jax Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I hate driving to the GalleriaMe too, especially in December. It once took me something like 45 minutes to get there from Rice during the Christmas shopping rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister X Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) I would hope that the HP will capitalize on the fact that a lot of people would rather go downtown to shop than the Galleria. I don't see HP as much of a threat for quite a few years, but imagine how nice it would be to be able to park anywhere along or near Main Street and take the red line up to HP to buy whatever cool things that you might need. Not having to deal with traffic around the Galleria sounds like a legitimate marketing ploy to me.

capnmcbarnacle Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Trader Joes and 3 Buck Chuck! 3 Buck Chuck!! A man after my own heart. I love Spec's like it's one of my children, but I'd love to have a Trader Joe's here too. It's the lush in me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Trader Joes and 3 Buck Chuck!That would be pretty cool. I'd like to see how Spec's Warehouse would fare or see if there is enough business for the both of them. I would imagine people Some office workers, and some local midtowners would give them a pretty good amount of business. Spec's would is better known and would (I feel) imagine that they would keep the majority of midtown, Montrose, River oaks base by the other selections that Spec's offers.

GovernorAggie Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) that's why it's called family dollar.As an aside, I've met and played a few good games of Risk against one of sons of the Levine (pronounced La-VEEN) family, founders and owners of Family Dollar. Due to his humility and average-guy persona (not to mention his gracious acceptance of world domination at my hands), you wouldn't know the guy was an heir to a multimillionaire. They consider one of my former roommates as one of their own sons. Edited February 29, 2008 by GovernorAggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
