wernicke Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I'm not sure who designed it, but the water wall you see is actually one of two that make up the northern and western walls of McGovern Commons... which has multiple restaurants on the bottom floor and Trevisio's on the top floor (a nice restaurant if you ever get the chance to eat there).Just found this article from 2002 on the building: http://www.tmc.edu/tmcnews/08_01_02/page_02.htmlThe six-story Commons building features a unique, quarter-round design, and is entirely conceptualized along a "water-based" theme. Bordering the front entrance to the building are two towering water walls, which "wrap" around the structure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBuddy06 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Wow, that is stunning. From that angle, Memorial Hermann's new tower is massive!Memorial Hermann Tower is in a world of it's own. I see many cranes in the picture. Med center will keep growing taller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfre81 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I think the whole round trip, getting back home and all, took about four hours. And I was by no means in a hurry. Walking down that part of Studemont where there's next to nowhere to walk was exciting. Everything from Main Street Square to the Bomar@Montrose bus stop was done on foot.

Everything from Main Street Square to the Bomar@Montrose bus stop was done on foot. Fantastic! I recognize some of the places in the pictures but am having a hard time figuring out the exact route you took. Can you elaborate on the bus/rail/walking route you took?

jfre81 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 The first pictures are along South Main just outside 610, near Willowbend.The first light rail stop is on Greenbriar near Reliant, the Smith Lands station.The next few shots were from the light rail, in the Medical Center and Hermann Park.I got off the rail at the Wheeler station and went over to the Fiesta, then went back and took the rail to Main Street Square station.I walked kind of zigzag through the streets to the northwest, stopping into the Chase Tower for the sky shots, then headed to Franklin Street which becomes Washington Avenue.I went into Old Sixth Ward and walked down Kane Street, then took Sawyer back up to Washington. Continued west on Washington to Studemont.Walked down Studemont which becomes Montrose. Stopped at the 34 bus stop at Bomar. I could've gone much further, but I needed my legs for today (for work). I could've walked all the way back home but I'd need a day of rest after, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katy07 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Anyone know of the good nursing programs to become an RN in or around Houston? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas911 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 UH has a nursing program now at Sugar Land.Also are you looking for an associates degree or a BSN? The community colleges only offer 2 year associates degrees. Some of the bigger hospitals now are only recruiting BSNs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
