You summarized them perfectly Editor.
We got to the Bayou City Farmers' Market just before they were closing so we didn't get to see all they had.
The Canino Market was wild, this was our first time there and we were impressed by all the produce available. You can get anything you want there.
But, yeah, there needs to be more of these types of markets, esp. the organic market. You see a lot of this type of stuff in California.

St. Luke's to branch out

St. Luke's Episcopal Health System is planning to build a hospital on this vacant lot in Webster.
St. Luke's Episcopal Health System is planning a hospital in Webster, a major addition to what area leaders call "the Medical Center of the south."
The multistory facility, which is expected to have about 170 beds, is being called St. Luke's Clear Lake Hospital and will be developed by Medistar Corp., a Houston-based medical real estate developer.
For St. Luke's, the hospital is part of its strategy to expand into the suburbs to better serve patients who live in the area's outer reaches.
The hospital system also has facilities in The Woodlands, which it is expanding, and one in Sugar Land is under construction.
A group of physicians will own 49 percent of the Webster hospital, which the developer said could be expanded by two floors and will cost up to $160 million to build.

Bayou City Farmer's Market - Located off of Richmand between Buffalo Speedway and Kirby.
It's orderly, clean, and organic:
Bought some of the cookies in the round container in the middle, they were delicious:
The Canino Produce Farmer's Market - Located on Airline Blvd, near the intersection of I-45 & N. 610 Loop.
It was chaotic, noisy, colorful and felt just like being in a market south of the border:

We're definately going to be there. Don't know any of you all so, if you see a goofy Mexican with a beautiful wife, it'll be me; just introduce yourself.

Great old photos.
It would be interesting to see a photo taken at the same angle today, so we could see all of the differences. Anybody got a helicopter?Tried to find KCGridlocks thread on Houston on SSP but that forum is having tech difficulties right now. Once it's up and running again I check to see if KC had any shots that show the same perspective as some of these.

Saw this blurb on the TAMU website. Couldn't find an article in the Chron's website. Anyone have any other info on this project?
Developer to add buildings close to I-10 and Texas 6 - 9/4/2007(Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown: Office)
(Houston) - Citing strong job growth and shrinking property vacancies, Opus West Corp. is planning a two-building development in the west Houston area that would add 460,000 square feet of office space to this energy-dominated market. The Phoenix-based developer bought almost 17 acres near the southwest corner of Interstate 10 and Texas 6 for the project, to be called Energy Crossing I & II. The price was not disclosed. With or without a tenant, the company expects to start construction in the fourth quarter, with the first phase scheduled for completion a year later. Overall office vacancy in this area, known as the Energy Corridor, is less than 7 percent, and the Class A market has even less space available, according to a mid-year report by Transwestern. Class A rents are up 9 percent on an annualized basis from the end of last year through June. "Tracts of land with this size and location are in short supply in the Energy Corridor," said Cushman & Wakefield's Marshall Davidson, who was part of a team that brokered the land transaction.

Thx Jax, I was sort of overwhelmed by the amount of people on the streets, I loved it.
