The name was removed because it was named after a losing officer from the conquered confederate army. The confederacy lost the war to hold slaves and this is a largely black neighborhood, I think they should have a choice in the name of their streets vs. some racists rednecks from the suburbs. Since when do losers get to have stuff named after them? Lol, back at you racists POS. I'm racist being a person of color and actually living in 3rd ward?

august948 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Are they planning to and/or did they consider renaming Tuam street, also? Below is the entry from wikipedia. Apparently, Tuam was named at the same time in 1892 for Dowling's place of birth in Ireland. Quote Dowling Street (1892) In 1892, the Houston City Council renamed East Broadway to Dowling Street.[13] On 11 January 2017, Houston City Council approved a plan to rename Dowling Street to Emancipation Avenue.[14] Tuam Street (1892) In 1892, the Houston City Council renamed a street, which is perpendicular to Dowling Street (now Emancipation Avenue), to Tuam Street, the namesake of Dowling's birthplace Tuam, Ireland.

I hadn't heard anything about it, I would have assumed it would have happened with the name change of Emancipation. I guess it just flew under the radar.

Texasota Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 That's also a much less direct connection. Tuam still exists, and has likely produced dozens of non-racists over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a town of almost 9k, that's not a great record...😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wilcal Posted December 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2021 Leasing company, Arvo, had an open house today, so I stopped by. They said that Center Well would be taking the entire first floor. There would be a community area for the building on the second floor and they had a few smaller tenants that had signed there. Someone was currently negotiating and deciding between the 3rd and 4th floor. They are planning on having another open house on January 15th and would announce the other tenants that had signed at that time. The deck on the fifth floor would be available for any tenants in the building and it has a pretty spectacular view: 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChannelTwoNews Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/deal-sheet/this-weeks-houston-deal-sheet-119635 "Civic Heart Community Services relocated its headquarters this month to One Emancipation Center at 3131 Emancipation Ave. in Houston’s Third Ward. The 34-year-old organization, the largest Black-founded nonprofit organization in the Gulf Coast region. The organization was formerly known as Change Happens! Civic Heart outgrew its previous location on Elgin Street, home to the organization for the past 18 years. The new 10-year lease for 13K SF allows Civic Heart to remain in the historic Third Ward, while adding space to accommodate its growing number of programs and services." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
