H-Tine is being represented to the fullest in downtown Houston. Hundreds of banners have been rolled out with quotes from Beyonce, Z-Ro, the late Fat Pat and several Houston area artists, poets, students and tastemakers.
“And Imma Slide Slide Slippidy Slide, Pop trunk let it down, show up in my ride,” said one of the banners that quoted Fat Pat‘s H-Town classic, “Tops Drop.”
The banners are part of the city’s Downtown District and Core Design Studios initiative entitled “Figurative Poetics” which includes over 500 witty quotes from the cities choice makers.
The goal is to show the city’s character through quotes plastered on colorful banners as opposed to the regular promotional slogans, offering downtown commuters and visitors some visual entertainment, inspiration and encouragement.
You can see the banners around downtown’s utility and light poles on Main Street, the Theater District, Minute Maid Park, St. Joseph Medical Center, City Hall and along Louisiana, Smith, Milam, Travis, McKinney, Lamar and Dallas streets.
The banners will stay up for the next two years.
