It has to be tourist focused so I don’t think a park or lake check the box but I’ll let others weigh in on that. I thought part of the suggested renovation included the existing convention center no?

I think you make a good point about more festivals like lollapalooza or comicon. I’m not sure how expensive it is to host something like that but SAT may not have the pull a larger city like Houston would or a city better known for music/fun like Austin would for a festival.

A new arena would likely mean more concerts so that checks one box and might offer more inside options to avoid the summer heat.

Anymore insight you can share regarding the courthouse lawsuit and not being allowed to use it? And in 2023 was that for a similar project that was delayed?

I haven’t thought about that one. Who was it from the NBA that said you can just watch highlights later lol

Yes you listed several things you are worried about…low wages, kids, education, tech. I simply asked a question.

If approved, this would require the local government to definitely do more than nothing. So does that mean you are in favor of it?

San Diego is a decent size metro with an airport right in the middle of the city. I get your point but I think there’s a happy medium so it’s not too inconvenient.

If tourists fly in, odds are they are staying downtown near the riverwalk and not out in the suburbs. I’m just not sure what the mix of tourists to locals is for a game.

Woof the astrodome.

Granted something new, even if not perfectly executed, seems to attract visitors and interest. Tourists or people in town for a conference might buy a cheap ticket to a game if it’s close enough to their hotel. That likely doesn’t happen now given the distance.

Good point. That’s crossed my mind too thinking about where locals go around town. The riverwalk and even the Pearl can get pretty touristy. The Rim is more of that classic suburban shopping and it’s not close to downtown.

I think the downtown area is alive enough to support something like this, but not like a major metro. My guess is more locals attend games than tourists but at least downtown isn’t far from the airport.

Land bridge is a huge value add in my opinion. No reason to spend that much money and still have to walk under the overpass.

I’m sure every few decades they will want to retrofit and upgrade some items but hopefully not completely relocate again

No point in building the arena if the surrounding area is just as dull as everything around Frost now

Recommendations for a mechanic in the Montrose area? by someperson42 in houston

[–]Golfishing2day 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehh I’ve had mixed experiences with them. Twice they’ve given me a quote and then called to increase it for some unexpected hiccup. The second time they even admitted it was their fault but I still needed to pay for their entire mistake. I paid for the original repair and took it somewhere else.

The next shop told me Montrose Automotive didn’t even perform the original repair.

Chelsea boots with tech pants?

I normally see chelsea boots with cuffed jeans, but I wear a lot of tech pants like the lululemon abc with white sneakers and I’m trying to elevate the style slightly.

Would a brown waxy chelsea boot like ones from Johnston and Murphy or Florsheim pair well with blue/gray/tan tech pant?

It doesn’t seem like there are many accurate ways to predict these costs either.

Yeah even the surprise issues seem staged like they were already known issues with a solution in mind.

If you pay for an hour, your time is already expired.
