Pac-Man is near

Another Blue ghost mosaic spotted across the street from Rice U at University and Greenbriar. I still haven’t found the elusive Pac-Man.

STOP ASHBY HIGH RISE

I would be kinda spooked if this building with arms and teeth was looming above in my neighborhood too.

I spotted this work of art while driving tonight, at the corner of Sunset and Greenbriar.

Supposedly, this community doesn’t want the Tower of Traffic to be built near their neighborhood and have all the new low income apt and condo residents of the 23 story Ashby High Rise to driving thru their high dollar neighborhood. Yet they don’t complain to Rice about all the football season traffic, nor to the Houston Medical Center to stop building more facilities which in turn bring more traffic to the area as well.

I’m all for the increased diversity in Houston Neighborhoods, and you can see it in these images around Houston in this blog, if you are not, then you may want to spend more time at StopAshbyHighrise.org


His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

I was lucky enough to see and hear the Dalai Lama speak at Rice University yesterday. He spoke of several principles regarding compassion, true forgiveness, and religious tolerance.

He is the illuminated white light in the center.
