Wilshire is a long stretchy blvd of dense midrises from downtown to the ocean. What is Houston's midrise bank street?

The closest thing is going to be Westheimer from Post Oak toward downtown.

Houston isn't going to have this. Most weather systems along the west coast develop over land and move off shore. This is why it is so dry there. This allows for development to take place closer to shore as hurricanes are rare. I always liked how Houston focused its retail towards the coast. "Gulfgate" "Palm Center" Galveston is fascinating for this reason, but too close.

As far as a string of midrises, there is also something going on west of downtown and south of Allen's Parkway.

Westheimer from Chimney Rock to Kirby between Richmond & San Felipe - now if we could just get transit under the street like Wilshire is getting...

Wilshire stretches from downtown LA to Santa Monica. Westheimer goes from HWY 6 where it really begins to look developed to montrose area before it turns to Elgin. That's a long stretch. Although not all midrises there's a lot of development. Specifically midrises, I agree at about chimney rock. Before then it's not as though the street isn't developed

I'll have to go with Wertheimer and Richmond between Midtown and the Galleria not only because of the mid-rises and shops, but also because of the palm trees.
