not to be pessimistic - but some of these places are....weird

for example, you can go to the Club Quarters (if you are a member, of course) which is right next door to the Montagu Hotel (you can get your "other" services there...heh), the Raiders Lofts (old Plaza/Days Inn) which needs more work than it seems anyone can put up money for, or wander down to Stowers, which is next to the West Building (if you know where this is, you know what i am talking about...heh).

and does anyone know if the Shamrock Tower in any way referring/in memorial to the Shamrock Hotel? (demolished 1987)

*end of rant*

Yes, it is (was?) named after the Shamrock Hotel.

Btw the West Building is supposed to be renovated this year.

the Montagu Hotel (you can get your "other" services there...heh),

My friends and I went to the Montagu Bar a couple of weekends ago for the hell of it. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!

They wouldn't even let us in the door at 1st, but finally let us in after we begged them to. They have the door locked.

i would like to go in the hotel just to say i have been in there - i like that they kept the hotel cotton inlay at the door, and the barely readable hotel cotton sign on the top of the back of the building (although now that i think about it, it is there probably due to laziness or neglect rather than for any historical significance...heh...

there are a few buildings around there that keep me in the area once in a while to check out progress, etc., like the texaco building, texas state hotel (now club quarters), stowers, and west/beatty building -

i have heard of these plans to renovate the west building - we'll just have to wait and see ;)

Sorry for kind of bringing up an old thread, but seeing as how I couldn't find a dedeicated thread for the Empire, I guess I will put it here. I passed by the Empire (right next to the Manhattan), and there is construction equipment and a crane on site, so I presume it is under construction.

In other uptown construction news, the building next to I believe 3000 sage is at around 8 stories (didn't really count), and the Hilton Garden Inn seems only a couple months from completion. Some of the facade is up, etc..

Not sure how many of you go over to SSP, but there are a few projects mentioned there that aren't here so I figure I will put them here. Some of these are mentioned here and are just updates though. Most of this is from shasta, so credit goes to him.

TWU sold their old campus to MD Anderson Cancer Center and are currently building their new campus; a ten story building on the high profile corner of Holcombe and Fannin/Main.

There is more stuff, but I will put it later. And I hope Shasta that you don't care I put your stuff here.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is SSP?
