GovernorAggie Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Well I would think that someone commissioned some photos of the whole thing with the lights, fireworks, and moon-shaped lights on the Heritage tower.All in all, a great event.By the way--the food prices were PHENOMENAL!!!!! $4 for a Shrimp Po-Boy with spicy waffle fries???!!! I think this may have been one of the best parts, lol!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 My mom brought my niece and nephew out there. She said she LOVED it but was most impressed by the bayou walk itself. She couldn't believe the improvements and I have now convinced her to get on board with the Buffalo Bayou Partnership! She was born and raised in Houston (Mount Vernon St) and said she had never seen the bayou look better. I just wish the B.B.P. would kick off some major fundraising job to get the word out to the masses about what they are trying to accomplish. If they can achieve just HALF of what they propose, it would be the best thing to ever happen to Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I was impressed with Sabine Lofts. The new bayou walk really has a nice view of Sabine, and the building's lighting scheme is pretty cool. Would mind living there with the excellent view of the skyline!The bayou walk itself was very nice. I heard some people complain they prefered the wilder unkept look. But I think it looks a heck of a lot better the way they re-did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maceo9903 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 ^^So maceo9903. It's good to see you like Houston but curious. What does Houston have that Atlanta doesn't. As far as i know Atlanta has trendier developments, better mass transit, and hills. Houston has better shopping, dining, and arts/theatre scene. You have better museums too. All of those things are on a world class level and they are not on that level here in Atlanta. Atlanta is a lot of media (mostly hip hop) hype. Houston has more substance. We do have better mass transit though and we do have hills and Houston dosent. But you have the beach and we dont. For MY money, I'll take the beach! Hope that awnsered your question. To all of those who will surely have something to say about me getting off topic, my apologies. I logged on to see if anyone had any pictures of this event. It sounds like it was a success. Hope to see some pictures soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houstonian in Iraq Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Cool looks like the bayou park passed it's first test. I'm sure a lot of people were hesitant about pumping that much money into a park that could just be washed away. ...The park, designed to withstand periodic flooding, appears to have passed the test convincingly."Nine days later, the new park's broad, winding trails and lovingly tended vegetation were under water, submerged in a rapidly rising bayou swelled by Monday's torrential rainfall.It was an important test of the long-planned, $15 million park........We didn't lose a single plant," said Scott Barnes, the conservation director for the Buffalo Bayou Partnership, the nonprofit group overseeing the bayou improvements....article here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
