Deliciously wicked. But I'll have the last laugh living on the 8th floor of the Renoir with a great view of the Galleria 20 years from now when all is totally congested. To the author of the article: may you accidentally purchase real estate on a five year flood plain. Ha,ha,ha,ha. Deliciously wicked.

They just recently renegotiated the deal with the City. I’d be surprised if it was any time soon. They just recently renegotiated the deal with the City.

Gross St. is their only reasonable pedestrian route to River Oaks Shopping Center, which they visit quite often for shopping and sightseeing. Halfway down the street they have to switch sides because of lack of sidewalks on one side or the other. We've GOT to get some decent sidewalks, more than one-half person wide, that actually go somewhere and keep all of our residents, neighbors and dog-walkers out of the middle of what is already a major "cut-through" street. "Where the Sidewalk Ends" is not just a children's book.
