Oh lawdy. The majority of Houston survives just fine w/out zoning and uses ordinances instead (i.e an establishment that sells alcohol can't be within 1000 feet of a school...I don't know if that measurement is true but that ordinance does exist). Yes, it creates some problems BUT it's also created three beautiful skylines :-)
Downtown
Uptown...from the "sky lobby" (read: viewing area) on the 60th floor of the Chase Bank Tower
TMC from a plane...
In the pic of the TMC, a new building was added shortly behind the one w/ the "bowl" shape at the top in the bottom left. It's now the Methodist Hospital Outpatient Center:
And those photos are actually kind of dated now. The one of downtown does't show the new Main Place building or Hess/Discovery Tower, One Park Place or the new Embassy Suites under construction which has formed a mini addtion to downtown Houston's massive skyline. The photo of the TX Medical center also doesn't show the new Out Patient Center and the several new Hospitals constructed over the last couple of years.(But i see you included a photo of the newly constructed building). Uptown, well, it hasn't changed.
Yeah...there's a thread about how the galleria is starting to show it's age....i feel an overhaul tinglin' in muh toes...maybe throw a Barney's New York in there for good measure, eh ladarron? ;-)
Uptown really is just begging for a super tall to be built around there to balance out the Williams Tower
