  1. More details about Live Nation's music venue at POST. https://preview.houstonchronicle.com/music/live-nation-announces-terminal-a-new-houston-16172919
  2. Not sure if this is the right place to post this but it looks like the River Oaks Theater is in danger again. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/life/article/River-Oaks-Theater-in-danger-of-closing-again-15980217.php
  3. You found a Walgreens with hand sanitizer?! And Whole Foods on Post Oak was crazy yesterday, too. Maybe not CostCo crazy but still pretty bananas. I've also seen suggestions to go to Asian markets as they are still well-stocked.
  4. I like ROD. I could see it becoming to the Galleria something like what Rodeo Drive/Little Santa Monica Blvd. is to the Century City mall in LA. I suppose Highland Village fulfills some of that function as well but it doesn't have a layout that is very pedestrian-friendly. What I miss in Houston from more obviously tourist-oriented cities like LA and Miami (with Lincoln Road, Brickell, Wynwood, etc.), are the number of walkable, outdoor shopping/eating/people-watching areas. ROD, along with CityCentre, goes some way to rectifying though it's small by comparison and it's more high-end. As a pedestrian, though, I just wish there were more of it to explore.
  5. The forums I have popped into are Oklahoma City (OKCTalk), Detroit (DetroitYes), Dallas (DallasMetropolis), and Fort Worth (FortWorthArchitecture). Then there are the Curbed.com sites for Atlanta, Boston, Austin, Chicago, Detroit, LA, New York and San Francisco. I didn't know about the Nashville one but I'll have to check it out. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...
  6. Does anyone know when the big circular street signs hanging in the middle of the major intersections along Post Oak will make their reappearance? Or are they not coming back?
  7. Especially since they just got an Alamo in downtown LA! https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-ca-mn-alamo-drafthouse-los-angeles-20190715-story.html It's like they're just trying to play with us. 😧 Seriously, the Heights project seems to be the kind of project Alamo would be interested in. If you look at all the new Alamos in DFW, they're all in newly built, mixed-use developments like the The Irving/Las Colinas one whichis in the same development with the Toyota Music Factory, a major concert venue, and a ton of restaurants/bars. The LA one is in something called The Bloc. I can't imagine a more perfect scenario for Alamo to set up shop inside the Loop.
  8. Interesting angle among many: the developers are using art as one of the enticements to lure renters. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Apartment-developers-are-using-art-to-entice-14065004.php
  9. Even the burbs of Dallas have Alamo Drafthouses everywhere! I don't understand why Houston seems to be behind in this area. Heck, downtown L.A. is getting an Alamo Drafthouse before inner Loop Houston. But I doubt this new theater near the Heights will be an iPic. They tend not to be build too many in one market. I believe they only have two in the much more populous L.A. area, for example, and those are located in Westwood and Pasadena, roughly 30 miles apart.
  10. This got delayed a week on the Houston PBS station and is airing this Saturday, Jan. 13.
