There are good views of downtown Houston that really show off what downtown is and can be. This angle is not one of them. No offense meant for the photographer, but just a stark reminder that there are parts of downtown that need some development love beyond the high profile views by the bayou. It really makes me think about boundaries that define the edge of the downtown district. Whether they are man-made (Pierce elevated and 59) or natural (the bayou), how do you create a signature gateway for someone entering into the area? Not every entrance can be as grand as approaching from Allen Parkway or Memorial Drive, but coming from the EastDo desperately needs something.

The tent camps under 59 after crossing the lunar surface, I mean Commerce, is quite the Gateway. /s I agree, but I think all in due time when 59 is buried. This site of Downtown needs some development that will likely come in the form of apartments/condos. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happened to be walking by cutting back over from the Bayou. Didn’t set out to photograph anything from this angle intentionally. Sorry. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was merely waxing philosophically on something your photograph made me think, which is nice since most photographs of the skyline merely elicit a "ooh, so pretty" without much thought to follow. Your's was thought provoking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
