If you don't succeed, try, try again.

Houston's got some great postmodern architecture. I'm so proud of what's going up in our city!

I think it's a tease. They must know the developers can't get financing...

Raining Inside · #**2657** Posted **Sep 6, 2009, 1:17 AM**

This terrible Tower of Traffic must be stopped, so people won't have shorter commutes to their jobs! Let them all spend more time on the roads driving into town from distant suburbs!

EVERYBODY is a NIMBY about something.......its all about what is happening in your "territory", remember at the core, we are just animals.

I see your point, but I don't know if I entirely agree. Maybe it's much less common, but some people do consider the greater good.

Maybe the issue though is some people's "territory" is greater than others...their back yards are city-wide.

I miss my Houston, hope things work out so that i can get back soon. Anyhow. Here are some web cams for 2 projects downtown.

Embassy Suites

Houston Ballet

Its fun to watch. Looks like Houston Ballet will have a yellow crane going up. You can see the base.

Very Kewl...
