    Can they please do something with the unsightly former Kona Grill restaurant space?! that abandoned outdoor patio is in a sad state and makes the outside look horrible... i always said it would be the perfect place for a Common Bond or similar so access in the mall but also easy walk up access for those looking for a coffee or quick snack, salad or sandwich while on heavy foot traffic Westheimer... (and yes i know there is Starbucks down the street etc...) but this really would be a cool dine in and walk up location in my opinion!

    i think i said this before but my slight ocd hated this building especially as it was being built! my brain just could not comprehend what in the hell was happening haha! but now i gotta say...i love it and every time i see it it keeps my interest and it has grown on me ALOT...unlike all the mostly typical/symmetrical buildings in the area

    fun story in that a buddy i discovered ended up moving to LA and met and married Pat Benatar's (!!!) daughter...Pat rented out the entire top level of the main room of the St Regis and threw an engagement party for them! She timed it for her show the next night at House Of Blues... she and i ended up talking and laughing so much that she had to cancel the show the next day due to losing her voice!!! sorry fans of Pat...it's my fault... 😭 The show was rescheduled and went off without a hitch ps...yes this hotel is really nice although to me in the weirdest location...and my buddy Matt and his now wife Haley are happily married now with 2 daughters and a son and yes, i have gotten to see Pat many times and she is as amazing as you think she would be and still looks like a million bucks. (Her other daughter Hana is a singer and sounds very much like her mom!)

    i have never cooked a day in my life and dinner out every night is a must and i will say that me and my friends agree, we usually chose the restaurant based on which patio we are in the mood for that night ;)

    OH MY LORD! please end up really looking like that! I LOVE it!!! (ps...yes Avalon will be a dang loss but it figures this would happen to an old one story shopping plaza)

    no that is the thing...it's been there a year or more haha! it is so nondescript and boring that you just pass it by.... it is at the east end of the park on Memorial right near the Terrace Drive intersection (for reference it is near The Sophie at 6017 Memorial Drive)

    I still say this sign/monument makes absolutely no sense facing this way...they should have made it face traffic each way...driving past you can't read the almost invisible lettering as it is (maybe at least light it up so there would be shadows on the name or something similar?)

    i always liked that Memorial Towers building on the right! it reminded me of Dexter's apartment building for some reason on the show Dexter... (and he could have easily dumped all those bodies in the bayou across the street 😲 but yeah, cool! i wondered what was going on here...and can they please just redo all that sidewalk from the starbucks and eastward as that is a teeny tiny and treacherous sidewalk...

    SKIMS coming to Houston (for those that care ;) ) https://www.lmtonline.com/culture/article/skims-houston-store-19381350.php Permits filed with the state of Texas show plans for a nearly 7,000-square-foot Skims retail store on the Galleria's first floor, near Marc Jacobs, Tag Heuer and Alo Yoga. According to the Houston Chronicle, which first reported the development, the permits list New York-based Kenneth Park Architects as the design firm for the project.

    While it seems that Holey Moley is indeed on it's way to opening any week now, there has been no start to the updating of the theater itself. I went Friday night with a buddy to see Late Night With The Devil and i will say the screen itself was in perfect condition so it was still a good night at the movies. I was surprised though to see that still no work has even started on the lobby even...i have been choosing the incredible Marque location over this one since i live exactly between the two and will continue to do so...so someone just update me when all begins and when it's done haha!
