Downtown Today

There were a few Rice students but certainly not the majority. I talked to a bunch of students from UH, and a doctor I know on the train. The train was still packed when it left Memorial Hermann station (the last stop for Rice students), and I am guessing it was above capacity. There were old people, young people, doctors, students, it was a big mix.

Unfortunately not all Rice students get free passes, only the undergrads (2500 students approximately).

I was in Houston that day and drove downtown just to see if I would be able to be one of the walkins without a ticket. I got downtown at about 6:20 or 6:30 after sitting in traffic in the Galleria area. This was the first time I had been downtown in a few years I think. I exited on Louisiana and just figured I would find the Toyota Center some how. I rode around, turned down a lot of street and finally found the Toyota Center. At first I didn't recognize it because it was kind of getting dark and the roof seemed to blend in with the sky. All I saw was red letters on the roof and as I got closer I noticed it was the Toyota Center. It was very very crowded, people were everywhere. At that point I realized that I would not be able to get in because 1, the lines and 2, no where to park without having to pay. I have to admit though downtown Houston is looking NICE! I got to see the tower going up in front of the new park, and I think HP construction. There was a big wall on the opposite side the street of Ernst & Young advertising the Discovery green area development. But for some reason I didn't get to see the park. I also noticed lots of signs up advertising new development in Midtown. Now I understanding why people on here like downtown better than Uptown, it was really happening that night!
