Rasmus is a respected pastor in Houston with a long-standing reputation for completing apartments in the low-income neighborhood with city and state support. So Rasmus said he was surprised to read a recent Houston Chronicle story that described how the law firm Hoover Slovacek had raised concerns over Rasmus asking the city's Planning Commission for permission to build the Crawford closer than 25 feet from the property line. The attorneys representing a real estate developer, which specialize in upscale apartment complexes, said the Crawford's request for a variance goes against Houston's Walkable Places ordinance promoting wide sidewalks, and that the request could interfere with ambitions to remove the Pierce Elevated as part of I-45 expansion and build a park resembling the popular High Line in New York City. The city's Planning Commission is expected to vote on the variance this Thursday. "We didn't know we had a NIMBY case," Rasmus said this week, referring to the acronym meaning "not in my back yard" that's often attached to vocal residents who object to unwelcome or undesirable elements entering their neighborhoods. "This is the first time we have ever gotten any pushback from our neighbors." https://www.chron.com/culture/religion/article/texas-pastor-battle-developers-19405832.php Note: The pastor is one of many that spoke in favor of the proposed project.

Just wondering if anyone else remembers this place. I searched this site but found nothing, and there's barely anything on the internet at all - basically, 2 videos shot by a musician who played therein the 70s. It was part of the 1970s wave of 'old timey' places, built way out in the (then) sort-of howling wilds of Mason Road - I think it was right on Katy Freeway but there was nothing else near it at all. My dad loved eccentric places like this and we went many times. Some tax information I was able to locate says it was only in business from 1977-1980, which is I guess why there are so few references to it left behind. I've been looking for years for any pictures, matchbooks, etc from there.

Going to The Galleria was a special treat - we lived in what was in the mid 70s far west Houston...past what's now the SH Tollway. The stores I remember best are the magic shop, it was maybe named Harry's? (it was at the Neiman's end on the lower level), Farrell's, Teuscher Chocolates, It's My Bag (THE store for preppy accessories in the 80s - Leslie & Co nearby on Post Oak was also great), Pappagallo (wow I wish they were still in business), and for fun, the Famolare store. There was a vast Abercrombie & Fitch - the original company that sold things like $400 - that's 1970s dollars - footstools made of leather in the shape of a hippopotamus. There was also a great costume jewelry store in the 'new' (circa 1985) expansion. I waited in line for about 2 hours to see Star Wars in July 1977 at the movie theater there in between the original Galleria and Galleria II.

Heights Marketplace: Retail Center At 428-516 W. 19th St.
IntheKnowHouston replied to HeightsGuy's topic in The Heights
The Leader published an article this evening on the shift to paid parking at Heights Marketplace. The shopping center is located at 428-516 W 19th St. County records indicate the property is owned by Asana Partners. The Leader's article reports JLL a the owner. However, someone affiliated with JLL referred to themselves as the property manager to The Leader. The article doesn't make clear which company owns the shopping center. Regarding the addition of paid parking, The Leader reports this: Following a barrage of complaints and meetings with parking program officials, the assessment was temporarily stalled and the signs sleeved. After further discussion, the program conceded a 2-hour grace period, which has still not alleviated the angst it has caused. The article interviews several tenants and businesses utilizing the UPS store. All are dismayed not only by the parking meters, but rent increases over the last few years.
