M.D. Anderson Library (lobby/ study area)

For those of us who aren't students or staff, it's nice to see what things look like inside the University of Houston. This is the M.D. Anderson Library as captured by b2tse. Nice job with the dark chairs in the filtered light.

Moody Towers


Moody Towers, originally uploaded by b2tse.
I'm not a fan of this type of architecture, but I know a lot of HAIFers are. Usually, the better trained you are at architecture the more forms you appreciate.

These are the Moody Towers at the University of Houston, as shot by b2tse.

What's the proper term for these? Brutalist?

The Social

Burgers, TV, wifi, and church -- what more can you ask for from a Sunday?

Thanks to kshilcutt for capturing this slice of Houston life.

Old Street Sign


Old Street Sign, originally uploaded by kshilcutt.
Houston has several styles of old street signs that survive to this day. Here we see the 1000 block of Malone, as captured by kshilcutt. The metal hanging signs they use today probably won't last as long as these mosaics, or the carved obelisks of the past.

Old and New


Old and New, originally uploaded by kshilcutt.
A classic Houston shotgun shack and modern condos side-by-side.. but for how long? Kshilcutt took the picture and doesn't think it will be long before the little one gets squashed.

A step back in time


Wabash, originally uploaded by kshilcutt.
There are still places in Houston where you can step back into the city's past. This is one of those places. If I'm not mistaken, it's on Washington Avenue. Kshilcutt took the picture and could probably fill in the blanks.

Main and Congress


Main and Congress, originally uploaded by kshilcutt.
Ever since light rail and bricks came to Main Street, this seems like the most photographed part of Houston. Whether you think light rail was a success or a failure, the rehabilitation of a once blighted corridor is at least visually compelling.
