SunKing Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Man, all four parts were very cool. Thx.Indeed - those were some great pics! You did a really great job of capturing the activity of downtown in some shots, while others focus on the architecture...good stuff 2112.

Trae Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Why was it so crowded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) Why was it so crowded?Big Sports Event (Allstar games). Superbowl was more insane. Holoween, Art Car week, get somewhat intense also. Saturday nights at after 1:00am gets some good action also, but not like these big sporting events.Most of the night shots were taken during Allstar week. Some nightshots were on a good Saturday night. The day shots are recent. Edited October 28, 2006 by 2112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when DT used to be a virtual ghost town. We may still get the 10K plus residents there yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Great photos 2112! I like that you included the human element and did not just take pix. of the buildings. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when DT used to be a virtual ghost town. We may still get the 10K plus residents there yet. I think a key is to appeal to all people in the Houston area, and outside of Houston. Much of the crowds you see in NYC are tourists and New Yorkers that live outside of Manhattan. Likewise, downtown and the other central areas should try to attract Houstonians from all over the city. Eventhough I live in the burbs (still in Houston city limits though), I want to enjoy the action downtown and love that lifestyle, and would love to bring my money and friends there to have fun. There are 6 million people in the area, so the pototential is allready there. With things like the Pavilliion, more clubs, restuarants, and the increasing residential density in the CBD, I beleive Houston will get there.

That's looking Northeast from the corner of Main and Prairie, toward the vicinity of the Magnolia Hotel. The empty space in the forground was slated to be the Scamrock - I mean - The Sharmrock.

marc Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Awesome! Completion date for Pavilions? And i agree 100%. As a native Houstonian now living in LA i visit Houston twice a year. I am very excited with all the projects going on in many parts of the city. And yes, i too spend my LA $$$$$ DT or UT when i visit. Probably moving back in a year or so..... and have been impressed with my options for living arrangements in the DT and MT areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 You could have just posted all of these together, looking @ 50 pictures per thread would have been ok, unless you have dial up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved them until I spotted by "office" in Pennzoil Tower and had to think about work tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, the forum would not allow me to put more than 6 photos per thread, I would get an error message saying I have exceeded the number of images I could link. I assume it is because of the size of the files or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
