The fate of the Houston Astrodome, the "eighth wonder of the world", will be determined on June 14th. Three proposals exist ranging from complete demolition of the Dome to a planetarium/sound and movie stage. We'll see.

Renaissance at Greenspoint, the ~25 story high rise at the beltway and 45, looks to still be on the books. Check out this video animation that was posted at HAIF.com earlier today...

This would be a fantastic project. It is time for the future to return to Space City...it has been gone for a while. This, as well as Earthquest Adventure makes me think Houston may become a major player in terms of "Green" projects.

The Astrodome needs big thinking. Reliant Park needs to be an entertainment destination.

Anyone who wants to demolish the Astrodome is insane. Why hasn't it been placed on the National Registered Landmarks List? Despite the fact that we'll never see sports in the Dome again and the economy is in a bad state, somebody can turn it into anything - a hotel, an entertainment/shopping complex (think Dallas' old West End Marketplace), an indoor ski resort (I don't think Texas has anything like that), a local-sports-themed museum (Oilers, Astros, Rockets, Aeros, Dynamo, Texans and the college teams), the ideas are endless.

We need a lighting scheme like this one in downtown Houston.
Check out the Duke Energy Center in Charlotte from derekhollis at frog.com. A supertall here in Houston needs to get a lighting scheme just like this building. At the very least fix the Wells Fargo neon with a color changing neon or LED scheme. Our downtown is too dark and depressing at night; the building owners need to brighten up downtown.

I love that tower but think that lighting is tacky and a total waste of energy. Leave the tacky lights to Vegas, Dallas, and, sadly, Austin.

That tower light is awesome, but IMO all downtown needs to not look depressing at night is the pre- hurricane Ike lighting.
