This is what it’s like going into a commission only CRE job at age 22, when your friends are all taking salary jobs Then leaving a big name shop to start up a CRE brokerage company at age 42 when all brokers tend to stay where they are Still amazed I had the chutzpah to do both
Mountain goat leaps across massive canyon without hesitation 😨
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is AI-generated. Real mountain goats are agile climbers but the extreme canyon leap, physics & motion show clear AI artifacts (unnatural jumps, cinematic style). reddit.com/r/isthisAI/com…

Pretty cool and quirky what Rice has established here (very on-brand for the Owls) and is spending big bucks to expand. I think it’s great, and always root on my local academic powerhouse college with their evolution
Rice University plans to break ground on The Arc, a 200K SF, laboratory and office building in Midtown’s Ion District, with an estimated cost of at least $75 million. At 4151 Main St., next to the existing Ion building. Construction slated to begin Nov. 5 and finish in March 2028.

I leave my office for a quick lunchtime meeting and managed to get Shen Yun’d in that time Nobody on earth markets as shamelessly and ninja like as the Shen Yun marketing team I would estimate I remove no less than 50 of their posters in a calendar year on vacant retail suites

The Galleria is charging for parking, in cheap ass “get off my lawn” Houston with an army of good ole boys that don’t do well with regulations and expenses There will be riots in the streets that will make Paris look like amateurs.

I’ll say it once, I’ll say it again, Screwston is the best “get shit done” town in 🇺🇸 & it’s not even close Create a ship channel, build a dome stadium, expand that ship channel, double the ✈️ capacity…whatever project, this town works with a rare sense of urgency and gusto
In 33 months Houston built an entire Austin airport. 22 gates came online today, with another 26 gates coming online in 15 months. Meanwhile Austin, which currently has 34 gates, spent 18 months debating their 6 gate Concourse M, broke ground 3 weeks ago, and might be done summer of 2028.

I love the fall season, what’s not to like? The best One of my October pleasures is Pumpkin Joe Joe cookies from Trader Joe’s. I went to buy a box today, found out they’re so popular people buy them out w/n hours, then resell them for profit on eBay 🤬 ebay.io/m/W5tLd5

This is a striking office design in an industry usually putting up same ole same ole I will wait to see it deliver to render personal opinion if it landed or not, but I applaud this bold choice when it would have been easier and more cost efficient to build a typical rectangle

My wife has no concept of how exciting it is for the first day of vest season at the office. I just showed off my look today to her and she said nothing. I then pointed it out to her, she said it’s not even that cold out. Ugh.

After ruining my weekend watching the Texas game, I get in my car and put Spotify on random mix In all of the music in the history of the world, this is the first track I get. Cannot make this stuff up. Savage move Spotify…

I ❤️ this town. Houston, never stop being the big city that refuses to act like one.
A complaint as old as time!

I’m a retail broker but not a true 🇺🇸 consumer…I don’t connect well. It’s a problem, I admit it. Beloved stuff I avoid like: Bacon Orlando Fast & Furious movies Soccer Monster Drinks Tom Brady Bucee’s Bud Light Church Bad Bunny Starbucks Yellowstone UFC Crocs CBS Crime Shows

At the same time, I see the ugly side of this game I say frequently nothing matters to a community more than retail. The local supermarket closes and now it’s either empty for years (grocers do this) or a split Goodwill/Dollar Tree? You better believe that affects housing prices

What I do for work is like most people’s feelings about what industry they ultimately serve. Complex Could be worse. My wife works for soulless United Healthcare, and in patient claims division as the MD that formally denies paying your bill 😬 Don’t murder her, BTW Rant over
