The largest drum in America
2 Texas steers make up the faces of this 7ft x 5ft Taiko drum which was beaten at Miller Outdoor last night.
YO! HOUSTON
This 60ft x 20ft tile mosaic is the largest one I have see around town. Just North of Downtown off Quitman near Fulton.
Hanging at the Fringe
The Houston Fringe Festival final nite is today. If you get a chance to check out, look for a few of images from this Is This Houston hanging there.
Sleepy Jedi
My little bud went to sleep.
Tree top parking
… along Memorial Park. The Buffalo Bayou runs right across the middle from left to right.
Pouring the Pillars
Getting the forms ready to pour the concrete pillars for the new Pedestrian Bridge parallel to the Montrose Blvd over Buffalo Bayou.
Live Better and Stop the Heights Walmart?
I hope they at least recycle the yard sign too when this issue is long and forgotten like the other anti-development NIMBY’s. Maybe we can purchase our citywide mandatory yard waste biodegradable bags from the new Walmart.
Extreme Home?
Checked out the humongous 4500 sqft Extreme Home on Goodhope St. built in the last week.
Isn’t 7 days too fast build a custom home like this:
- Shouldn’t the concrete foundation cure before loading it with the entire house structure and all those hundreds of volunteers scrambling around?
- Aren’t the wood wall framing and blown cellulose insulation supposed to dry out before covering up with sheetrock to avoid mold growth?
- Shouldnt the air conditioning supply and return ducts be sealed during the build to minimize pollutants into the HVAC system?
- Aren’t wood floors supposed to acclimate to the air conditioned environment for 48 hours in which they will be installed to avoid expansion and contraction.
…and where is the matching 4 car garage?
Better to starve free than be a fat slave
Makes me want to spend my hard earned money and buy a Large Curly Fries and an Oreo Shake from the Jack in the Box to celebrate my freedoms. I love this country and the First Amendment.
Parsley Basil Rosemary Thyme
Get your herb fix from the pods in Downtown in front of the City of Houston planning building located at the corner of Walker and Smith.
The sun shines on BP
The Westlake campus of BP’s United States headquarters is a gleaming office complex.
As I was walking up, I saw a marquee in front of the building highlighting the Westlake Solar Project and the energy it has saved. I thought it might have been counting oil barrels drilled or something else spill related.
Then I was told I can’t take pictures of this building so I left. Anyway, if the security gaurds that were writing down my license plate number were wondering what I was doing you can read it here.
BP has an amazing enterprise with the brightest engineers, phenomenal innovation, and unlimited finances… So why can’t they shut down the wellhead at the Deepwater Horizon site with all these resources?
Why does their headquarters office look like a graveyard on a Sunday morning? Are all the staff actually out cleaning up along the gulf? I would have expected to see a bustling office with employees working round the clock to figure out an end to this scenario…
