it's only accessible to other users, i believe. unless a user decided to take the time to peruse everyone's profile and enter each address into a database, i doubt it would be a problem. i haven't had an issue that i'm aware of.

i found a link to the story via google and had the same result. it may be an error. i can find no other information confirming the information in the article on the town center or woodlands residents' website. it appears that they are moving earth in preparation for waterway square by sasaki and associates.

welcome to the forum luzr.

SUNRISE SENIOR LIVING PURCHASES SITE IN TOWN CENTER... Sunrise Senior Living, an international operator of senior living communities, has purchased a 2.53-acre site in The Woodlands Town Center for construction of a 253,000-square-foot senior living condominium building, according to Dan Leverett, vice president, commercial for The Woodlands Development Company. more information

i think the thing that is missing from all of these developments is middle/low income housing options. it seems ironic that the people who can least afford transportation will have to drive and park to work in or enjoy these centers of activity. perhaps a discount mall/walmart mixed-use development wave will be next.

is this guy text messaging?

the democrat would try to negotiate until it was too late. the republican would negotiate while he cocked the gun and aimed, firing only at the last minute. the southern (red neck) republican would, at last, get to kill a terrorist. yeehaa! an independent would remain undecided until it was too late to shoot or run.

i've asked editor about a spell checker before. it may not be possible with our current format, or maybe i'm missing it.

great link. this is exactly what i was thinking about when i wrote my earlier post. welcome to the forum, gc1980.

congrats highlanders!

the following story is old news; however, the project is ongoing and has been expanded. the fact that txdot is now allowing plantings in the median bodes well for other neighborhoods/developments/communities who want to upgrade and maintain the available greenspace along their freeway corridors. i'm posting the article as an example of how this can be accomplished. TCID, additional entities launch aggressive beautification program THE WOODLANDS, Texas (July 30, 2003) - The answer to a six-word question - "How can we dress this up?" - has evolved into a precedent-setting effort by a coalition of several public and private entities in South Montgomery County to beautify rights-of-way and other property adjacent to the expanded I-45 freeway. Now in its third year, the program of planting native vegetation is designed to restore and augment the area's natural forest look as trees and shrubs mature along one of the state's busiest highway. "Those of us involved from the beginning can already see a substantial difference," said Paul Mendes, city administrator for Oak Ridge North and "action officer" for the project. The program's genesis can be traced to the question some two years ago by Frank W. Robinson, president of the Town Center Improvement District (TCID), the project's originator. As he surveyed progress on the I-45 expansion of 14 lanes, he asked, "How can we dress this up?" The answers that emerged have involved participation by no fewer than eight organizations, installation of approximately 11,800 plants and an extensive irrigation system. Due to the program's immense success, TCID has published a comprehensive guide for other cities and towns, called, "Highway Beautification: A Step by Step Guide." Several cities and town have expressed interest and have visited the area to see the project. "Our area is known for its naturally-forested beauty," Robinson said. "As the freeway expansion neared completion, we wanted to take steps to restore natural vegetation in the I-45 right-of-way plus other public and private property adjacent to the freeway. Most of all, we wanted visitors and local residents to experience the difference such an effort can make. This program is a reflection of the 'look' and 'feel' of our area." The goal is a coordinated landscape beautification plan over a four-mile area. State law allowed the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to take part in beautification efforts, but required involvement of a municipality through which state funding could be channeled. The City of Oak Ridge North stepped forward to become the local sponsor. In addition to Town Center Improvement District, Oak Ridge North and TxDOT, the list of participants has grown to include The Woodlands Operating Company, L.P., the City of Shenandoah, South Montgomery County Woodlands Chamber of Commerce, United States Congressman Kevin Brady's Office, Montgomery County Precincts 2 and 3, The Woodlands Community Association, and the South Montgomery County Municipal Utility District. At the suggestion of Dana Cot

also, astro physicists have found, based on the movement of objects in space and the rate of light speed, that the universe must have had a "big bang", a specific beginning. i don't remember any specifics though. i'm looking for the book for a friend and will share more when i come across it again. the newer telescopes we have, along with super computers, are allowing us to crunch numbers like never before. there are big, new discoveries about the universe we live in coming out on a regular basis.

i like you nmm. as for you nmainguy............come on dude! the hotter it is, the more likely there is something there (errr, fire!). don't just brush it all off cuz it's ugly, or difficult. that's where the real fruit is..........behind the prickly, tough outside. the turmoil and hubbub means something is there, beneath the surface. it isn't right or left, up or down. don't write off generations of truth seekers because they disagree on semantics and heroes. faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. man is imperfect and can never truly express or know the reality of the world we exist in. IMHO, there are ripples of bigger truths, rumblings in my psyche, things that lesser beings will squabble over (the details of) for eternity that cannot easily be answered or defined. keep an open mind despite the retards that we humans tend to be. btw, i kinda like you too.

i wasn't able to bring my camera. post 'em!

wow, what a difference the sabine to bagby section makes. i wonder how the improvements will survive flooding. this addition is excellent. the freeways are a bit much to take, but the attempt to recapture the bayou despite the freeways is as good as it can be (imo). one exception might be to do something with the support pillars and maybe music, at least in some areas during certain time of the day or night. overall, it was great to see so many people and families out. i hope that it will be utilized regularly, day and night (not just by the homeless). i did see one homeless guy with his 40 ounce, sitting in the sprinklers near the aquarium. it was hot, so...more power to him. did anyone else go? what were your impressions?

oh, i see.

june is pretty booked. i hope to attend an event on the weekend of the 25th. the wine week walk through event at market street, june 22, 5:30-8:30PM, will probably be the most accessible.

actually, i was thinking of a mad tv skit that overuses the word "literally". my bad. bad joke. my intent was not to correct your spelling. sorry.

literally?

link a friend from ft. worth sent this link to me. the pdf files do not work. has anyone read or heard anything about this?

i was thinking the same thing. looks like a randall davis project. it looks more interesting to me than metropolis and gotham

correct me if i'm wrong................isn't it true that investors frequently buy condo/townhome units at discounted pre-construction prices only to sell at a profit after a development is sold out? it seems that this has occurred, and is occurring, with the "brownstones", lofts and townhomes on the woodlands waterway and in east shore. wouldn't a more prudent investor want to get in on the ground floor of some of these "sure to sell out" dwellings (or, perhaps a pre-construction condo unit in one of the new developments in galveston?) for a smaller profit rather than speculating in an east end or near northwest property? btw, i drove through garden oaks recently and was amazed at the new construction and renovations going on there. i wonder if there is some money to be made in this area?
