Points of interest

Within several blocks of either platform is the new retail, office & dining complex called GreenStreet. International corporations including Chevron & ExxonMobil also have office buildings within walking distance. It is also the closest stop to the Toyota Center (where the NBA basketball team Houston Rockets play) which is 3 to 4 blocks away.

gollark: The alternative would be to give each page a fixed canonical ID, and rewrite links appropriately *on edit* to use that.
gollark: That would be awful so no.
gollark: And create a redirect possibly? Or rewrite the links, but that would be hard.
gollark: If I add renaming, it'll move the history and create a revision saying "moved".
