Trees
Even with all the development, there are surprisingly a lot of trees that still surround Downtown.

Houston Scooter Battalion
Watch out for these scooters, another alternative form of transport is making steady inroads into the city. I usually spot a few zipping around in the loop on a daily basis.
Theatres > Hollywood | Heights | Majestic Metro | Alabama | River Oaks
A few images of the retro theatres in the Loop.
The Hollywood Video theatre on Westheimer near Montrose.
The old town theatre in the Historic Heights.
The Majestic Metro in Downtown Market Square.
And the following two(Alabama and River Oaks Theatres) are causing much debate in the community by Weingarten Realty’s recent announcement for new plans for these two shopping centers. A few folks have even started a petition to voice their opinion against Weingarten proposal.
The Alabama theatre, now operating as a BOOKSTOP.
And the River Oaks Theatre, still showing films on the big screen under the auspices of Landmark Theatres.
Did I miss any other retro theatres inside the Loop?
Where are all the trees
As Houston’s housing market continues to economically thrive into 2007, the environment is taking a toll. With the increasing population density in the Loop builders are trying to meet the demand for new homes. I hate the fact that the trees are being cut up left and right, but I love the new innovative home designs and the jobs that the building is creating for all the tradesmen.
Where is Pac-Man
I spotted this ghost near the corner of Westheimer and Dunlavy. He must be nearby. Are there any Pac-Man arcade games still out in any Pizza shops anywhere?
India – proud supporter of W
1.2.2007 there are a number of manhole covers produced with Indian steel all over the City of Houston. This one is stamped with “W” for Water meter, but reminds me of those W for President stickers during the 2004 elections.
