HOUSTON LIGHT RAIL
View from the Bridge

McGowen is the next stop beyond Downtown Transit Center.  It is the first of three stations in the city's Midtown district.  This is one of the older neighborhoods in Houston, and has seen its periods of vitality and decline.  At the time of this view midway through the first decade of the new century these blocks seemed ripe for redevelopment, and for much more intensive utilization.
