when i saw that pic i thought there would be a story about how that mural is going to be lost when the houston club building is demolished.
Linbeck pulls out of Ashby for technical reasons? From what I gather from the article, Linbeck wanted to play too nice with the neighbors during construction, but Ashby developers wanted to ram it forward at full speed.
If I were Ashby developers I’d hire a 24 hour Mariachi band with out of tune instruments to remind the busybodies that I won’t bend over for their crap.
Linbeck may be giving a face saving reason for the pull out – I have a suspicion they wouldn’t walk away from that large of a PAYING job. Will be interesting to see how this falls out.
