    Even disregarding MS2.0, this seems a lousy place for a charging station, unless they think they'll get a lot of apartment dwellers buying EVs without access to charging at home. I think that's a pretty tiny market still, because of how long it takes to charge. There's no viable access there for people on long trips, so who would use it?

    Now that the elimination of traffic on the Pierce Elevated is inevitable, this might actually be considered a high-end residential property someone would want to live in again. I just wonder what condition it's in, structurally.

    In a car-centric city, big enough to have enough parking and tables to at least pay for overhead, or at a place with a lot of drive-through traffic? Maybe it's bigger inside than I think, though, or I'm underestimating the delivery market these days.

    Considering how packed that parking lot is with just EoS open, I can't imagine blocking it off for film viewing.

    Sounds like with Dough Zone showing up, existing restauranteurs realized there was a cuisine opportunity they were missing. That place seems too small for a restaurant, though, unless it's a high revenue/table concept.

    So now we get to go back on the "will it be mixed use or won't it" fretting. Anyone got contacts at HEB to see if they could be interested?

    Supposed to have opened it up now, or soon. They said it would be "early September". I've seen vehicles go in and out, but they still had some cones semi-blocking the entrance, so I don't know if it's really officially open or not.

    Oh, for crying out loud. Houston just keeps teasing with interesting stuff, and then throwing the most boring crap on empty lots. Another freaking storage place. Self Storage | Keeley Properties

    We walk by that every day, nearabouts. It's been on sale or lease as long as I can remember, and recently had to get boarded up because transients were living in it. My wife often comments it would be great for grocery or something retail, but it consumes the entire property. Unless there's a variance they could get, it would never meet the city requirements for off-street parking. They have 1512 Gano across the street. Maybe they should tear down this one and use it for parking for Gano.

    That neighborhood behind there has had stuff getting torn down nearly every month, so one or two more isn't anything new. I think parking is mostly Barnaby's. It's been a problem for a while, with parking on-street even before all the other places showed up. Those probably have made the on-street parking situation worse, driving this.

    Does Braun have anything you can use in their stuff down around Burnett/Hardy? Heck, they already claimed the one on McKee was going to be a coffee shop, but I don't think that's confirmed.

    Or the same place they were talking about putting the high-speed rail, Northwest Mall? That seems like a prime choice. It's not like the municipalities are particularly interested in interconnecting mass transit. The people who tend to use Greyhound aren't exactly a very politically influential demographic, either.

    I can't believe that Near Northside can't get a freaking coffee shop. Even the pop-up at Gristworkz closed down after they got their HEB cafe running.

    Can't tell where they are claiming those "Parking Lot 1" and "Parking Lot 2" are that are shown on the brochure. They don't mention which of their properties those are supposed to be in.

    A lot of those residents were enticed there by the much-vaunted promises of mixed-use development in Hardy Yards. More single-family homes are definitely a disappointment, but putting high-rise residential that blocks all views for the existing residents would make the high-rise a giant middle finger to everyone already there.
