H-Town Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Sam's boat is building all over Houston. You can only find them in Houston right?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>No, Sam's Boat has locations in Houston, Austin, and Dallas (I think that's it) at the moment. I've been to the Woodlands location and it's a significant improvement over the old design (as seen at the Richmond/Fountainview location).

kjb434 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Is the woodlands development the new marketplace?If so, it either already completed or nearing completion. It is mostly an attempt at build pedestrian friendly suburban retail. you park in the parking lot and your can walk into the main promenade area where all the shops are. Just like an open air mall.

largeTEXAS Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 The Sakowitz image is an the architect's rendering of what the building will look like when completed. The building is shaping up to be incredible! I can't wait for construction to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTAWACS Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I would never go there because i have no business there. And I dont want to support projects that encourage moving out farther and farther from the city into the suburbs... you know what I mean?

Houston Retail Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 It looks like you have been hanging out at the Wulfe website too long. They sure work on some cool projects tho.Is that American Apparel on the building? They would be cool downtown. Check out their website www.americanapparel.net . Sex sells.

N Judah Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I like their stuff - very classic, nothing ironic or trendy. I can see it going over well here. And they're definitely an expanding company, so I'm sure they'd like a presence in Houston.So will 1111 Main house one retailer or many?

( http://www.marketstreet-thewoodlands.com/ ) Market Street is actually within The Woodlands proper and is a lot bigger (and nicer, in my opinion) than the Sam's Boat center.

By visiting these establishments you encourage more and more sprawl.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I am more in favor of freedom than I am against anything that might be defined as sprawl, especially if you define sprawl to mean anything outside the loop, no matter how well and responsibly designed it might be. (But of course you'll never really know how well or responsibly designed something might be because you refuse to even allow yourself to encounter anything that might possibly be considered "sprawl." To be truly anti-spawl, I guess we should all live in Europe, or at the very least, the northeastern coast of the US. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 1111 Main @ Dallas is the neatest parking garage in downtown.Always thought it could be a lot more (again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 And one more thing..."Sprawl" is the only word in the language that should always be used in quoted.If you live near it, work by it, and use it, is it really sprawl?Back to school.

kzseattle Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Arent you against sprawl? I know I am. By visiting these establishments you encourage more and more sprawl.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thats no way to discourage sprawl! If the city wants to discourage sprawl, then it needs to create more reasons for people to stay close-in. However, I do not think sprawl can be stopped. At best, it can only be slowed. People are going to live in the suburbs for one reason or other. Perhaps, they want the tranquility of natural setting. Perhaps, they prefer a well-planned and zoned community. Perhaps, they want better schools. There can be any number of reasons for which people choose to stay out there. To think that sprawl in a growing city like Houston can be stopped is wishful thinking.However, like I said, if the city cannot prevent everyone from living in the burbs, at least it can encourage more people to live closer to its core and attract those out there in a burbs as visitors. I think Houston is now finally but slowly moving in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
