yall_are_nutty Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Had to sign up to say that Uptown Houston and Las Colinas are not that similar. One has massive traffic, a large mall, many hotels, many high rises, many many restaurants and shops, etc. etc...... the other has one nice hotel, hardly any shops, a few restaurants and offices... although it does have a couple nice golf courses....

rantanamo Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Uptown Houston is most comparable to the Platinum Corridor in Dallas. Las Colinas is more like what The Woodlands is trying to do or the Legacy area of Plano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yall_are_nutty Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 What is considered the platinum corridor? I've heard of the Telecom corridor?I think Uptown Houston is very very similar to the Galleria/Addison area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of the Telecom corridor?I think Uptown Houston is very very similar to the Galleria/Addison area. You got the correct area. The DNT @LBJ and north is called the platinum corridor. The buildings on the horizon in the pic. As for one Uptown blowing the other away, it's hard to make a comparison. One is a very urban, mostly residential area, the other is more similar to Far North Dallas. Even the large projects like Victory, the IC, and the WV, Uptown Dallas is moving directly towards a more traditional urban setup. Even though 3 sides are bound by freeways, its never had the characteristics of a Platinum Corridor or Uptown Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceCity Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 It does...Whats wrong with prideful facts? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are the buildings taller in Houston? Yes. Is Dallas' Uptown more urban? Yes. Who can say which one is "better?" Nobody. It's completely subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely subjective.Very true. Which is why these discussions go nowhere fast. In any event, how meaningful is it to compare two neighborhoods in two different cities just because they both happen to be nicknamed "Uptown", but are otherwise unrelated? That's like trying to compare Commerce St in Dallas and Commerce St in Houston because they are both named "Commerce". It's not a true basis of comparison.

firstngoal Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Eh boy, not again.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Exactly my feelings, Space City.You know, I've given up on this whole Dallas - Houston thing. I've tried to be very complimentary of Dallas (I lived there for four years)- and I contend its a great city and that there are some really cool things going on there. I REALLY appreciate the folks up there that contribute to this website and let us stay aware of what's happening in the Metroplex. Same for Austin... I'm glad, as a Houstonian, that we share the same state with these cities.Unfortunately, no matter what the subject in the Dallas discussion area... the Houston "bigger, badder, better" comments come into it. Thats just the way it is... and I guess always will be. Anytime I comment about how we can learn from each other, the comments are ignored and the "friendly" rivalry just goes on and on. And goodness, if you say anything like, "Can we get back to the subject?" - you get blasted by the usual suspects who say the whole "Dallas vs. Houston thing is fun" and "What's your problem? - It is only good natured kidding!" So, I'll just let it go and hope - just hope - that one day a Dallas thread can stay on topic. Rose-colored glasses though.... heck, I'll just be happy if we can put architecture back in this Houston ARCHITECTURE website... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new major on the block Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 One more thing If I recall, doesn't all of houston's professional sports teams reside in the city of houston? The ranger's are out side of dallas as are the cowboys.They are not within dallas's city limits. As for soccar, if thats spelled right, i don't know where they play, so excluding them dallas only as a city has two professional sports teams.

houstonsemipro Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 This is getting boring now. Who cares about how many teams dallas has, WOW, you wanna cookie? All I know, houston will always be #1 in texas, while dallas got beaten by san antonio made y'all drop down to 3rd. Houston always been more of a city like, while dallas was more country feel. But me, I'm not worried about it. Dallas cowboys wanna get a new stadium, cause why? Houston got a brand new stadium that host the superbowl, now dallas wanna copy and share the glory. But like i said, I don't care, houston always will be #1 in texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonsemipro Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 And why dallas drop down to 3rd? cause no one is moving into the city, everyone moves to subburbs, or to ft.worth.

Dallasite Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 My feathers are still on my wings...So what if you have more teams (or whatever), it still doesn't add to the fact your #3 in Texas, and San Antonio is #2... come to think of it, who came closer to the World Series? I think it was the Astros... and what League is on strick? the NHL... and that would be, the Stars, and not the Aeros... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow, helluva comeback!

The Dallas Cowboys desire for a new stadium has nothing to do with Houston and everything to do with a NATIONAL SPORTS TREND! In addition, it will significantly increase the value of the franchise, which is second only to the Yanks. We all know Jerry Jones is business man. Money talks.
