the last pics from spring break, it's Planet Hooston!!!
i flew in, got a car, went downtown,
went up the Chase tower while the sky was blue,
then went to College Station and Austin before coming back to Houston.
crappy weather every day except for Sunday...oh well.

wow..Great pictures..LsyD :) thank you..
when did they change Houston 420 to zone d' erotica.......bummer.
Great shots! I like the shots of streetcar(train), they give a very modern feel to the city. Truly a BIG CITY.
Wonderful collections of houston! :)
Great variety of photos! So Houston's skyline is more than just a bunch of glass boxes.

2. The Albert Kahn style factory in Number 2 reminds me of home.
12. Very nice Art Deco skyscraper (got any more pictures of that one?)
16. Impressive. How many cities have their own battleship?
53,60. Looks like a rendering rather than a real building. Good shape though.
thanks y'all.

12 - see my Houston at night thread; i've got some pics of the crown and main entrance
16 - hmmm, London has the Belfast, Mobile, Alabama has the Alabama, the North Carolina is somewhere in that state, Philadelphia/Camden have a couple, San Francisco's inept-hippy city council blew the city's chance to have the Iowa; New York City and Charleston have aircraft carriers...so does Shenzen, but that one's a casino. probably not an exhaustive list, but that's off the top of my head. :)
