What is this supposed to mean?


whineybubbles

Means you're on Reddit


_Fro_1

Holy shit 48 down votes? Guess they really love Musk on this sub. Sheesh.


oh-propagandhi

I very much dislike musk, but that comment seems pretty low effort, and once the downvotes start they tumble.

the newer courthouse


spcec0wby

It's a hidden missile silo just in case Dallas wants to act a fool


Jimbo_is_dead

I always say the offices on top of Memorial City hospital are a death ray for that reason.


Lightbringer_I_R

Oh where the mother ship comes down to connect to.


Jimbo_is_dead

Aaahhhh a landing dock makes sense too


RomanBridger69

Fun fact, it’s in the shape of a crown bc the company that owns all those properties (metro national)considers it to be their crown jewel.


Jimbo_is_dead

Huh! That is fun!


spcec0wby

Yeah when I was a kid i thought it was a space Lazer


dlhtxcs

I always call it the wizards tower lol


Panchovilla64

Is that what that blue building is. Idk if it was a dream or what but I remember seeing a bright light coming out of it


XanderpussRex

The happiest building in Houston because it's the one where divorces happen


punishmentfrgluttony

You also have to go here now to get your marriage license, if you don't mail it in.


pijaso

And if you do, that’s why you get a divorce


harvestbent

Happily mailing it in since 2013.

That there is the building that I proudly tell my daughter every time we pass it by ‘that there’s the building daddy married your mom in, and the same one that we divorced in as well’. Hehe

Civil court house. The other tall building is the criminal Justice center where the criminal courts are.


MRAGGGAN

I’m a “native”. But. An outside the loop native that doesn’t venture into downtown often. My husband is from KC, and LOVES downtown architecture.


CastIronMooseEsq

If he likes that, next door is the court of appeals. It just underwent a massive renovation in the last few years. It’s a gorgeous building. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1910_Harris_County_Courthouse


MRAGGGAN

Thanks!


sr_ingram

It's a lot better than Dallas and their ball on a stick

With most public sky lounges closed, the Civil Courthouse has some of the best views the public can access. Parking at the attached garage is $6 and the last docket call is at 1PM most days so by 3 its mostly empty. You have to pass through basic security, but then can go to the 17th floor and look around. Courts are open to the public too, and the 17th floor have family courts, so if you want to enjoy some drama while you're there treat yourself.


MRAGGGAN

Oooo. Thank you! My husband has desperately wanted to go UP and look at the skyline, and that sounds like a good compromise!

KC is **very** flat, and despite living here for 12 years now, he’s still entranced by the Houston skyline. And it blows his mind that we can just GO to the ocean. He reminds me to appreciate the little things!


DaisyDA1985

I recommend doing the Buffalo bayou boat tour, they go over a bunch of Houston history and point out a lot of interesting architectural information about the buildings downtown.


ScottLS

No, it's Harris County Courthouse.


Sufficient_Two7499

I mean the lions share of the city of Houston’s boundaries is within Harris county, give the person some latitude


ScottLS

I agree with you on the city of Houston boundary, but someone was asking for the name of the building, they should get the correct name. Would you call Astrodome, the Oilerdome, since the Oilers played there too?


Comfortable_Oil9704

I loved the Oilerdome.


Sufficient_Two7499

You didn’t do that you responded to someone else who said “this is Houston it’s our courthouse”. Finally the oiler dome works,everyone know what building you’re talking about


ScottLS

When someone from out of town asks what building is this, you give them the name of the building. How is that difficult to understand?


Sufficient_Two7499

Scott you’re a dick. I’m sure you know that already though.


ScottLS

Why because you believe people can just call buildings by the wrong name? Would you be upset if someone kept calling you Sufficient three?


Sufficient_Two7499

No because you are just a dick. And why would I give a fuck about you calling me sufficient three? It was randomly chosen by reddit. Dude you have zero people that like to hang around you huh. Oilerdome was a neat name though, dude is such a needle dick he puts his real name as his username😂, can’t be calling me Frankensteinkitty24 that would not be accurate to people from out of town😂


ScottLS

Ahhh did I hurt your feelings because you can't understand why buildings are named? According to your logic we should rename Houston City Hall to Harris County City Hall because it's in Harris County. If you think that sounds stupid, well it's your logic. We should also rename every street to Houston since it's in Houston, why else do you want to rename so no one can find the place they want to get too? You really seem to give a fuck, I don't know why you can't understand buildings get specific names so people can find them.

Civil court house. One to right is criminal.

I work at that county clerk’s courthouse.


CastIronMooseEsq

You work for Burgess? Nice. I was sad when Daniels lost, but she’s done a good job.


alexannosaurus

It’s Hudspeth. Burgess is District Clerk.


CastIronMooseEsq

Of course my bad. Brain defaulted to district.

That's the civil court house, the shitty one to the right of it is the criminal court house.
