Regarding the openning statement, "Binz, more commonly known as the Houston Museum District:" other than the name of a street, I've never heard "Binz" used as a name for a district, area, neighborhood, etc. If Binz is more than a street, it would be nice to have that explained. I'm pulling the reference to Binz.

I have added much more History about the Museum District and removed demographic information about the area, since this is more a cultural denomination of the area than a city district with population, etc. These edits have been made based on published information by the Houston Museum District Association and historical records found in MFA Archives.

Hello, I'm unable to access the document that is used as a reference. Could you update the url please? Thanks, Postoak (talk) 19:28, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They replaced the pdf. Sorry about that. URL is updated and working. Houston girl (talk) 13:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated many references by including records in WikiCommons and citing such. I was unsure how to link them, so if there is a better method, please clean up my work. I can find other files to support other facts in this article, if you tell me what you need. I have much of the MDDAH's archives, thanks to Alexandra Marshall.

I just uploaded and added another photo I took of the museum district from the northbound Metro Rail station. --J-a-x (talk) 14:57, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
