RedScare Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I was going to say the exact same thing and you beat me two it while I struggled to find some tactful (but funny) way to put it.Tact is not rewarded on this forum.

Captain Impossible Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Okay. Because that star is right next to where I grew up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Okay. Because that star is right next to where I grew up.carefull how you say that, it might suggest a manger and 3 wise men.but given how some users are on here, maybe a trailer and three drunk inbreds?

The Great Hizzy! Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Anyone who thinks that one metro has noticeably "less" sprawl than the other is probably a severe homer or just not very observant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 This conclusively establishes that Fort Worth is the head of the Metroplex. Dallas is merely the nutsack. Great. now i can't teach my students about northern TX in geography class. Oh well, too bad. I guess they will just have to learn more about HOUSTON and Austin. Thanks. Dallas is merely the nutsack. I have suspected this all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 But, since it is Dallas, I am sure that nutsack is closely trimmed to make sure the entire Metro seems larger than it actually is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethanra Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Off subject - but I had a customer DT today. It was around 1PM, and the street level foot trafiic was impressive, people were walking on every block. Ladies were walking out of Macy's and the men clothing store (forgot name) had people walking in and out. The outside sitting eateries were busy. It was good to see.... DT is realy picking up a solid pace, there is a lot more action then many realize what is going on. I am guesing when pictures are posted of DT the pictures have to be taken on the weekend.

The recent growth in the DT Dallas area is probably just due to prostate enlargement as well.........is there an urban urologist in the house?

Guest danax Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Shot from today. It appeared that several of these trees were being relocated from the west end of the park to the east end.

sevfiv Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Heard on the news last night that Finger donated these trees to the city, so apparently this is where his new tower is going up.yep:Several mature oak trees that were going to be displaced by a new high-rise residential tower downtown are being donated to a city park by developer Marvy Finger of The Finger Cos.Finger is donating three live oaks and two red oaks to Discovery Green, the 12-acre park being constructed by the Houston Downtown Park Conservancy across from the George R. Brown Convention Center. Discovery Green and Harris County are picking up the tab for relocating the large trees. http://houston.bizjournals.com/houston/sto...mp;surround=etf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
713 To 214 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 IMHO- The park is a much needed addition to DT Houston (largely because it's better than the number of parking lots it replaces);- The name sucks! ;- It's far from "world class" (whatever your definition of the term);- It will be underutilized until Houston does something to correct it's woeful residential numbers, downtown (Fingers tower is a start, though); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all i am asking here. If the Houston 2025 vision even meets half of planned amenities and residential space, DT is going to resemble the lake front of Chicago. Although i, myself, am not fond of the name Discovery Green, at least it isn't Space City Central or Oil Boom National, or some other BS lame name. BUT, i think the potential is tremendous. This DT park coupled with the Buffalo Bayou improvements, added to the Pavilions project is going to allow for more residents in the DT area. That plus the light rail projects will only make DT more attractive. Look at the plans- the vision is bold and ambitious, and i for one, have hope for the next 10 years. True, we already have Memorial and Hermann parks, but i think this is a chance to create something iconic and then build around it. Give it time- then, if all goes as planned, maybe Gehry or Calatrava would build some sort of landmark something in the vicinity, and maybe THEN it will become a "world class" park. Keep in mind, Hyde, Gorky and Central parks were once on the drawing boards too. IT TAKES TIME. Just a bit of vision. Just a bit.

houstonfella Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hey, dancin' in the park. Parks are supposed to make you feel good. Go ahead and dance: hear it now, "Down at the YMCA..." And 713 to 214, the park isn't even 1/8th finished yet. Does your crystal ball give you insight that we don't know about? Or is it that it happens in downtown Houston and not in downtown D ..... no I won't say it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
