To my surprise, my children recently said that they have not been there. They must have went when they were quite young and don't remember. It was worth going back to again for us. It's been at least 8 years since we've been there. And it is just as nice as it used to be. The lawn could look better, but there were children blowing bubbles and running around and a little stand selling cotton candy,  so it's got the cute factor to it. It's also the perfect price at free.99 There's a parking garage nearby to pay for parking, which I would definitely recommend, because tow trucks were coming pretty quickly to get cars that did not pay for parking. Even though it was a hot day, just standing next to the water wall had a nice wind and mist coming towards us that we obviously really enjoyed. We saw people taking graduation pictures there and their sweet 15 pictures. It's a great photo op. Overall--it's the perfect price, close to the galleria and worth going to at least once.

It's a gargantuan building that would be at home in New York City. It's massive and a monolith and absolutely remarkable. One of the most beautiful buildings in town and in the state and in the country. The 2 most recent times I came here were to visit the Barber Shop here for trims. Not to be confused with the One Hell Barber, which is a barber who believes that there's only one hell and we're all going to it. It's known as a hell of a barbershop in the tunnels. Some people say it's the best one in the tunnels, and other people say it's the best one in the whole downtown area. You can draw your own conclusions if you're something of a sketch artist, but if you need a haircut around here, this is definitely near the top of my list. Especially if you go with the older gentleman - which as others have said, is usually near the window.

I always love coming zooming under this bridge at high rates of speed, to glance up and see what new inspirational message it has. Usually, it says, "Be Someone" but not always. If you want to be the 'someone' who changes the message, then get up there and paint something for yourself! I've seen other messages, like "Vote or Die." I'm pretty sure it's illegal to go paint it, but that's what makes it so fun. Unfortunately, I've never had a message that I've needed to convey on a highway like this, so I've never gotten a chance to paint it. This overpass is so iconic, that people take photos of it, or even get it tattooed across their chests to show their Houston pride.

This spot is really more of a storage ground for many of his larger-than-life busts and figures than a public installation but intriguing nonetheless. Unfortunately the gate remains locked but visitors can peer through the wire fence that surrounds the property onto numerous gigantic heads and statues located inside. There's no dedicated parking spots but Nance Street is fairly wide and with low traffic so it's easy to pull over on the side of the road and jump out. While this is definitely a cool spot to check out, I will warn visitors that there is a pretty large homeless encampment just two blocks away under the highway overpass so just be aware of your surroundings. Cool spot!

America Tower. F*ck yeah! Coming again to tower over the m***er***kin Montrose neighbourhood!…read more I went up here a few times, most recently last week, now that it's all opened up again. I had the same experience as the other reviewer, with security being far too tight, which is also the case with many other tall buildings these days. But in general, the American Tower is a pretty amazing experience and is in a part of town that didn't for a long time have a lot of other skyscrapers, so it just makes this building seem more unique and dominant and important in the Houston skyline than it already would. My original review said: I prefer the Mexico Tower, but I can't access it anymore because some weird New Yorker with bad hair built some wall. One of the most spectacular buildings on the Houston skyline, partially because it's completely separate from the other skyscraper neighborhoods such as Greenway and Galleria and Sugarland and of course the ever-impressive downtown Houston. It's in the north Montrose area close to Memorial Drive and Allen Parkway and towers above the area (hence the name) for miles around. Indeed you can see it from so many different neighbourhoods as your main point of reference, and I absolutely love it. Even though it has the former Manchester United sponsor written on the side of the building, you can't have everything. One of the most instantly recognizable and unforgettable buildings in all of Houston, partly because it's an area of town which doesn't have a massive amount of massive buildings and because of this it really stands out - but nevertheless it is still very tall by any stretch of the imagination. It says AIG on the side which is American Investment Group I think but the name is The America Tower - it's right in the middle of a very posh neighbourhood between the Heights and Rice Military on the North end of Montrose and Upper Kirby, and south of the Heights, close to the Fourth Ward and Downtown.
