Would not want an East facing unit in this building. You could end up with no view if something is built on the East side of that block.

But, will the ghosts approve of the sale? Or did they evacuate with the flood waters too??

Just out of curiosity, what is the price to move a house? Let's say you wanted to buy one of the houses listed on Cherry's site for sale and move it to a vacant lot. Does anyone have a ballpark figure?

Well, those Paper City ba**ards! I was looking for a date and didn't find one!!

Posted on Sunday by PaperCity magazine. No new info, really. Does give a timeline of 3 years - not sure if that was mentioned before or not. https://www.papercitymag.com/restaurants/houston-farmers-market-finally-world-class-own-pike-place-market-mlb-capital-todd-mason/

A little more info in this Forbes article - storage, boutique hotel, and what sounds like an awesome rooftop party venue. https://www.forbes.com/sites/cynthialescalleet/2018/04/24/former-falstaff-brewery-in-galveston-taps-into-new-uses/#1bf4b7c6b133

My grandfather worked for Ford in that building in the 1920's. He lost his job when a block and tackle hit him in the back and he couldn't work anymore. I have a company picture from 1926 that I treasure.

You are correct....the gas station was only at the southern tip. I think they tore down houses on the north side to complete the station? I can't remember now. I was at the grand opening of the transit center, I do remember that!

What was once a gas station, then a bus stop/transit station, will now, hopefully, become a park! https://www.chron.com/news/politics/houston/article/Houston-to-buy-Heights-Transit-Center-convert-it-12833013.php

Steel structure is up. Parking looks minimal.

Drove past yesterday - equipment business has moved. Bring on the wrecking ball!

It's a form of a rosary. The 10 bumps instead of 10 beads. I'm guessing the pictures are to symbolize the mysteries of the rosary.

Whatever it is, it will be better than this...

Sounds like a great idea to me! It will be better than the tool/equipment business that is there now, and may actually wake up the shopping center to the East.

Looks awesome!
