Default Houston folks...
If I look east out my office building window (from I-10 and gessner) see downtown and to the north of downtown what looks like a pyramid and another square building. Anybody know what the pyramid is?

I've looked on satellite maps but can't find it.

That green pyramid is just the top of an office building only a few miles to the east.

Default Just an ordinary 6 or 8 story square office building I think (with a green pyramid for a top).
Look for it off to the south of I-10 as you poss Voss or Chimney Rock.

Default You're too close to the ground floor. From the 18th floor, it's easy to see...
...and it's still just a square office building with a green pyramid on top that's no more than 4 miles east of us.
