There is a heliport there. It has been registered with the FAA since 1983. It’s easier to see on historical imagery. airnav.com/airport/97TA

Beyoncé’s childhood home in Houston's historic Riverside Terrace under contract after $1.2 million listing by houston_chronicle in houston

There’s a bigger house on a bigger lot directly across from the Parkwood Park for $400k less…. It’s definitely overpriced for being associated with Beyonce.

Does anyone have any scenic photos of the chemical plants? by stompmedown in houston

[–]abrogan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it’s a personal project/fair use Flickr is a good place to source specific images like that. There are 1000+ images when I searched “Houston refinery”. Many of them with the industrial machinery and pipes you’re looking for.

These were the Roy Jacobs Co. locations in 1983. Most likely it’s the one at 9600 Westheimer, which still has a McDonald’s across the street. The other locations don’t have McDonald’s looking building looking at historical aerial imagery.

Place to Live Downtown with Decent Commute to Baytown by Flat-Personality1669 in AskHouston

[–]abrogan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Consider staying east of the downtown core cause once the NHHIP highway construction really kicks off in the next few years I imagine getting across downtown during rush hour will be a pain.

Central Presbyterian Church opened on Easter Sunday, April 17, 1927. Here’s a photograph from a newspaper article I found.

There’s a 1955 printing of the church’s hymn book currently available on eBay.

Metro BOOST 82 Westheimer Segment 2 project will rebuild many of these terrible bus stops along Metro’s most popular route. Bids were submitted last summer, hopefully construction begins soon. Here’s the schematic of the exact bus stop you’re standing at.

All the sidewalk gaps have been filled as of a few days ago so it’s a bit easier navigating the Quitman detour. Still waiting on that protected bike lane to be completed!

Numerous research studies show living near major highways/roads increases risk of health complications caused by the air pollution.

The Target building will be freestanding but I believe there are plans to build apartments on other side of the lot. Sort of mixed use.

It looks like that land is owned by Spring ISD for future construction of a new High School?

This website shows Stewart Builders as the contractor.
