All right. I have pics.
It was after work and the sun was going down, so the lighting isn't the greatest. But everybody was gone so I got to walk around and snap some shots. That is, until this surveillance machine started flashing its lights and telling me that it was my final warning to leave the premises and that they had notified the police(??). Seems kind of ridiculous. I was just taking pictures. Kinda pissed me off. No cops ever came, though, and I just left.
Anyway, here are the pics. Sorry for the crappy iPhone quality.
The H-E-B
Looking north at the shopping center building adjacent to the H-E-B
The shopping center building at the entrance from Berkman
The entrance from Berkman
Turning around, I noticed you could see the highrises from downtown from there
I was so focused on the H-E-B that I didn't even notice this machine that eventually barked orders/threats at me.
Looking north again, from in front of the H-E-B. Another shopping center building.
Big glass front. Should have a lot of sunlight in there when it's done.
That's about when that machine started barking orders/threats at me. I wanted to walk around and explore a bit more but I just decided to leave. On my way out, the way I came, I noticed that on the other side of Berkman they've started working on something. Not sure what. Weren't some apartments planned for out there? This would be just south of (the future) Barbara Jordan Blvd., right in front of the entrance to the H-E-B shopping center.
You can
see on Google Maps that they plan to connect Barbara Jordan soon and turn Berkman into a boulevard with a median. I think once it's connected completely that it's going to be a pretty busy road due to the fact that it connects 51st St. and Manor Rd.
