People go to Pho Binh for pho and plates o' stuff, Les Givrals is a lot bigger on killer banh mi and rolls. That, and 45 is a pretty big psychological divide, at least for a lot of us Heights Rats. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. Having a Vietnamese girlfriend, she's taught me there are huge differences between the two. Plus, Pho Binh is a little higher priced and who wouldn't mind some delicious banh mi before a show? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pho Binh's Banh Mi is the best I've ever had and has more than a tiny sliver of meat. ...but you get what you pay for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I didn't even realize there was still an issue over this. Houston is too far grown for zoning to be added now. And besides that, zoning brings its own headaches and lawsuits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least last night's did (might be later for Fri/Sat shows). As someone who had to work the next day, it was nice to enjoy a show (on a beautiful evening, BTW) and still be home by 10:15. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 well Micaiah's show was great and such a good crowd too! ...got to take quite a little walk over to the volleyball courts after the show and all the courts were full of people playing volleyball so that was fun to see. (i was thinking this was adjacent to the venue but its up the road a little ways but can be seen from WOMH)... and then just saw this news item on Houston Press website: http://www.houstonpress.com/news/northside-neighbors-sue-houston-over-white-oak-music-halls-noise-9523012 everyone is so different so i am sure there have to be some residents who love that this area is establishing cool places to hang and watch music... but not these folks apparently... good luck to WOMH! hope there is a way to make (almost) everyone happy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 That curtain wall entry way thing into the outdoor food court is aesthetically neat, however, it's facing northeast so it will do nothing real. it would be better served to have a wall on the southwest corner to create a little shade from the hot summer sun. I guess they have trees for that, and it'll probably be more of an after the sun goes down type of place anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its actually doing pretty well. The venue is great and I think has a great future ahead. They are still having problems with the outdoor venue though. NIMBY's have been pushing back claiming that the noise from the outdoor venue would adversely impact their "community". The lawsuits seem frivolous anyway. White Oak already is built, got through permitting etc... and its only now that they care. If they actually cared they would have been there during the design phase. This venue actually wants to do something for the community. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This venue actually wants to do something for the community. I don't think so. They want to make money for themselves, regardless of how many lives they interrupt or destroy with late hours music that can be heard several miles away. If they cared about the neighborhood, they would close the outdoor venue and ensure that anyone within 2 miles could go to bed during a concert and go to sleep without incessant bass keeping them awake. This is an awful place for a music venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
