      4002 N Main St

      The admin of Houston Heights Foodies claims Space Cadet is closed at 4002 N Main St. He didn't provide additional information. The admin of that group posts wrong information all the time. He posted as a fact that Spices 39 would be an Indian restaurant and was dismissive when others told him it will be a Chinese restaurant. He told his followers the former Revival Market space will be Pepper Twins. Several people corrected him that it will be Cooking Girl and that the news isn't an exclusive as he posted since it was announced months ago. He was dismissive about that too. And the list goes on. So, it may be worth waiting for a more reliable source for confirmation. I reached out for confirmation via Space Cadet's Instagram and the owner's Instagram. If I hear anything back, I'll pass it along.

      4309-4317 Washington Ave

      Thanks for the update, @hindesky. Shell Recharge, an EV charging station, is indeed in planning for the properties at 4309-4317 Washington Ave. The filing lists Shell Recharge's Washington Corridor address as 4315 Washington Avenue.

      216-220 Tuam St

      Thanks for the update, @hindesky. I would have liked to see something else built at 216 Tuam, but there is a need for more electric vehicle charging stations in Houston. A Shell Recharge (EV charging station) should be a welcome addition to the area.

      The Chaucer: Condominium High-Rise At 2360 Rice Blvd.

      First off, welcome to Houston Architecture Information Forum. Secondly, regarding the sale of 2360 Rice Boulevard, I want to be clear that my initial post was speculation. It is true the county clerk's database doesn't show a recent change in ownership. However, LoopNet shows the property is under contract. And since Randall Davis announced plans for Chaucer, my assumption is Oxberry Group may be close to selling the property to Davis.
