TJones Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I'll bet the cop in that 5th picture was wondering what the hell you were doing up there, if he was not to concentrated on his doughnut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoog Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Another rooftop garage good for pictures is at 1001 McKinney. It's 11 stories high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron4tx Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 Cool, I see my bus stop under Humble Lofts.This is the future site of Houston Pavillions, right?Yes. And as you can see, nothing has been started yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Yes. And as you can see, nothing has been started yet.That is incorrect. The Pavillions will be built on the three blocks east of Humble Lofts. They cannot be seen in these photos.However, you're second sentence is very correct.

UrbaNerd Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 It's the wrong side of Downtown, as well. The Pavilions are closer to the Toyota Center/GRB area.But, yeah, all of those surface lots, for future construction...(we hope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 The Pavilions are closer to the Toyota Center/GRB area.Wrong. Closer to Houston Center than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron4tx Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 I was wrong. Red Scare and Urbanerd are correct.The Houston Pavillions is further east.The Skyscraper forum gives the following location:Bounded by Dallas st., Polk st., Main st. and Caroline st.Reference:http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=106887 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron4tx Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 (edited) That first pic is cool as hell! If you're referring to the pool at the Marriott, yea - most people don't know it exists. Note: Photo was shot through a window. Some reflection can be seen on the left. Edited October 9, 2006 by Ron4tx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
