In #2, it's very, very easy to see how Butler Shores might be a perfect place for a soccer stadium. The views will be stellar.

In #1 , I agree, In #2, again, I agree. Since I find soccer kind of boring, at least if I get bored, I could take in the view of downtown. And there's no doubt that location would provide an awesome background for TV.

That's a rare skyline shot in that it's not the skyline that sticks out in my mind.

Cool skyline shots.

No kidding! Look at how many wheels they need to have for support.

JoninATX · #**1688** Posted **Dec 19, 2017, 6:25 AM**

It's real, the 2018 model now has 36 wheels instead of 4.

It's a Chevy HHR limo. Something you wouldn't want to ride out in. I'm curious as to how it got pass the roundabout.

drummer · #**1690** Posted **Dec 19, 2017, 7:24 AM**

And it looks like the SUV headed the other direction is a two-door...

JACKinBeantown · #**1691** Posted **Dec 19, 2017, 6:52 PM**

It must have a really heavy engine because that's where all the wheels are, and a super strong girder system to hold up that 50-foot passenger section.

Am I slow to the finish line and everyone already got that this limo has been photo shopped?? The wheels overlap each other and there is the same front end sticking out of the light pole in front of the shopped limo. This looks like something I would have done on my 'what if' thread, only worse.

It's probably not photo-shopped. It's likely an artifact of taking a panoramic photo. If there are moving objects in your view as you move the phone/camera to capture the panorama, it can result in some interesting distortions. It's essentially stitching multiple photos together. That's what causes this.

Ok, that makes sense, but the other vehicles look condensed not stretched out like the limo. No matter, its a great pano except for the way that overbearing grey parking garage covering screams... https://www.bing.com/images/search?v...electedIndex=0

click the forward arrow. They are all applicable.

They looked condensed because they are moving in the opposite direction.

Yeah panos can produce some amusing unintentional artifacts, here's one I took from that same location last year.

Syndic · #**1697** Posted **Dec 20, 2017, 12:39 AM**

View of the Frost Tower gone, view of 360 tower is going bye-bye. The skyline is definitely changing. I love it, though! I generally hate the word 'iconic' in relation to buildings (because it inspires architects design some weird-looking shit) but I do hope whatever ends up on block 185 is unique and distinct (without being weird).
