Default Anyone know a good downtown HOUSTON parking garage?

That has a nice view from the top level? Not necessarily one that's right smack dab in the middle of the buildings, but close enough to have a good background?

Enron Center South, or whatever it's called these days. Playboy did part of their photo shoot up there early on a Sunday morning and (what I noticed of) the lighting was pretty good.

That's right by the stadium correct? I think Chevron owns the building now, my g/f mom works there, thanks for the heads up, i knew they had a garage, just never went by there to check it out!

I live at The Lofts at the Ballpark. From our garage, you can see the ballpark and all of downtown ... it's pretty cool.

No, the stadium is in the northeast part of downtown. The Enron buildings are more to the southwest. They're the two big oval glass buildings. 1400 Smith and 1500 Louisiana. I think you're right about Chevron owning the building, though.

The parking garage that serves the Houston Chronicle building, which is close to Chase Tower, has a pretty nice view of Rice Hotel, old parts of downtown, etc.

Nah, you have to have a little clicker to get in. If you are going to go by there, PM me when and I'll hook you up.
