It's a big rectangle with smokestacks on top and some other minor accoutrements. Hardly what I'd call groundbreaking, original, or even goot. It looks like a 1900's era oceanliner crashed into a badly painted art deco hotel. I love good architecture of all kinds and eras, and I have no qualms about calling the GRB a huge piece of ****. Each unto his own on that, though. That thing's been a boondoggle & an eyesore ever since it opened. This is a widely held opinion. In fact, you're the first person I've heard give it an endorsement. And that's strictly on looks, I've yet to hear a person give it any sort of endorsement for functionality, and it's small size renders it next to useless. But boy, does it bring in the conventions or what? Hope you like gunshows.
I always thought the George R. Brown looked like a ship, with the portals on the side, etc. Good to know I am not alone.
That's pretty funny. However, storing children in the middle of of a street unattended is OFTEN regarded an unsafe practice...much less on train tracks!!! Bigtexxx, you busy at work or we just not gonna get a reasoned response?
Buck, I've got two words for you. Robo. Cop. Without the GRB, we wouldn't have had one of those sequels shot here.
Even if we all used bicycles instead of automobiles and trains, there would still be accidents and deaths on the roads. Certain people are just idiots and seem to have a self-destructive nature no matter what activity they're involved in.
It's supposed to evoke a ship, it's a half a mile from the ship channel the very lifeblood of our city. I guess it could have looked like a 1880's train station or maybe have been mirrored glass. I don't know anything about it's functioning, I just like the pretty colors.
