Fire Station No. 6 Among Heavy Hitters at HBJ Landmark Awards



Historic Fire Station No. 6 (est. 1903) continues to gain recognition throughout Houston, this time with the city's powerful business community.

The building was nominated recently by the Houston Business Journal for its Landmark Awards, which recognize "real estate projects that make a significant impression on the Houston landscape," according to HBJ's website. The current home of Axiom, Fire Station No. 6 was nominated in two categories -- Historic Renovation and Rehabilitation/Renovation. The station was one of three nominees in the former category, and one of four in the latter.


"While Fire Station 6 did not take the Landmark Award, I am still quite pleased that it was nominated as one of Houston's most influential real estate projects of 2013 and that HBJ included it on the cover of its special edition," said Tom Hair, president of Axiom, who was responsible for the six-year renovation of Fire Station No. 6.



Prior to the awards ceremony, Fire Station No. 6 was recognized by Preservation Houston with its prestigious 2013 Good Brick Award. Momentum was building for the station as the Landmark nominations placed Fire Station No. 6 among elite Houston real estate projects, most of which involved larger buildings.

Awards notwithstanding, Fire Station No. 6 remains a vibrant symbol of Houston history in the Sixth Ward. The building's significance resonates with many Houstonians who drive past it on Washington Avenue, and with Houston firefighters who make impromptu visits en route to downtown. Fire Station No. 6 has become "the people's choice" since its six-year restoration was completed in February 2012.

And it's here to stay.

Unfortunately, the hype around iPhone began to gradually subside with each passing year after the 4th model launched. Therefore, it is possible that the sixth iPhone model of  will not be nearly as popular as it was in the beginning.

Tips: Optimize your blog loading times

A slow loading blog can prevent you from getting new readers and it can also adversely affect your Google rankings.  If you notice your blog loading too slowly, or just want to optimize the speed there are a few things you can do. 1. Use a free web analyzer to determine where your bottlenecks are.  A couple good sites for this are Pingdom and GTMetrix .  These will test your site speed and list out all your elements so you can see which ones are taking the longest to load.  From there you can decide how to improve your speed. 2. Move JavaScript to the bottom of your template. This doesn't actually make your blog load any faster, but it gives the illusion of it because browsers cannot load any other elements such as images at the same time as a script.  So moving them to the bottom allows your other elements to load and render on screen first making the user think your site is faster. To do this, go to Design > Edit HTML and place your scripts just before the closing </body&
