NW Downtown Houston Walk
Photos I took with my phone. Started at University of Houston Downtown and walked over to the Market Square area. Just a little walking trip.

Nice Pictures.

Thanks for sharing. Keep developing on your bayous, Houston. I think they will have something there if they continue to pay more attention to them. How is the construction coming along on the new park just west of Downtown?

Larger sidewalks and several pedestrian bridges have been put in. The last one is under the Shepard Bridge. This Bayou and others....if developed into string parks...will bring this city some acclaim! Such jewels in the rough.

Some Bayou and etc photos.

You did a really nice job showing this part of downtown that isn't seen much here. I like the historic structures mixed in.

I've never like the skyline view from this angle, but some people do. The Chase Tower doesn't fit in to me, although from other angles it's fine.

So much potential in Houston's downtown! Hopefully more residential can come in. Would love to see some hi rise residential towers pop up downtown!
