[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1414145, member: 52978"] As a feeder driver, I've been to both of these buildings. I went to the Mykawa building every night for about 10 years. They leased the very end of an industrial office park, and the rumor was the owner of the office park only charged ups a very small amount just to keep somebody in the building around the clock.(It is in a rough part of town. I used to hear shots on a weekly basis) They couldn't expand there for many years (almost 40 years) as other tenants moved out of the office park, UPS took over their space. Finally I heard that they bought the whole office park. The last 2 or 3 peaks, they have moved about 40 jobs to extended centers, some 20+ miles away, because they couldn't expand. Maybe those jobs will come back to that building now, and the drivers who followed their jobs can cut back down on their commute. The Conroe building was carved out of a wooded area on a very dark, badly lit road. You had to build sets on the road because there wasn't any room on the yard. I'd be interested to see how they enlarged up there. Must have bought up some more property. [/QUOTE]
