  1. Excited for this area to pick up hopefully from Post coming out on Grey, new school looks great. http://goo.gl/maps/TPYz This building always struck me as something... Greased Lightning? If this area comes together would really connect Montrose and Midtown.
  2. It's like that show when the humans leave - someone help me out.
  3. That lady is pretty cool for passing up likely way more $$$ than her lot is worth, but with the area blowing up, maybe her kids will really cash in - down the road.
  4. Yes this weekend they were really gutting the old building ; saw a woman taking pics thought it might have been a fellow haifer - it will be an impressive before and after and no matter what crowd it brings more infill = more fun! With the redo of bagby I can't help but see Bagby as Houstons version of McKinney ave in Dallas.
  5. Welcome to midtown hopefully it will expand west... How bad does the far west section of midtown need a great bar? hAif'ers with money this is my only free tip of the night - put a relaxed beer focused bar west of main in the middle of all the condos $$$
  6. Very cool thread - wish we could get it going see what's still around?
  7. http://g.co/maps/bt8fm Too prime of a location - there's got to be a story here - it doesnt appear to be brand new?
  8. I was going to post about this hotel after going to the Astros last ST game vs the white sox. Cool. It is/was painful to look at next to MMP
  9. There is a newer looking yellow condo building that appears to be vacant for the last year. Anyone have the scoop? Sorry no pic
  10. Agree with Woolie - this theatre is the best - the food is realy good - drinks are very good - $5 shiner tall boys - yes X2 Love having a theatre within short cab/ walking distance - We have been about 8-10 times now - both during week and weekends. I think its doing pretty well - wish it and R.R. the best.
  11. http://swamplot.com/what-i-saw-when-i-snuck-into-the-astrodome/2012-03-23/ Really cool - wonder how much that oiler sign would sell for at auction? Is it sad or cool that it's still sitting there? Sad because it's not used and millions are spent for nothing, cool because it's not knocked down yet. There's some saying that escapes me goes something like " You can't f up if you don't do anything" lol
  12. I knew it was a stupid question but I had this lot and the one closer to Whole Foods confused. Thanks!
  13. I know the status or lack their of - about the Finger Development on Dallas & Montrose. What about further down the street? Dunlvery & Dallas. Lot of potential. What did it used to be? Thanks,
  14. I know this isn't yelp. Took a friend from Chicago straight from IAH last night. Had a great time, resonable prices, great food, even better beer. This will be a big plus for the area when Underbelly opens in a couple weeks next door. My friend from Chicago was blown away at the Houston Restaurant scene, remarked if this place opened in Chicago there would be a 3 month wait to get a table - took us 20 minutes.
  15. This is great - those 2 empty blocks need to get filled up! Renderings look great, skooljunkie any word on Construction start estimates? With more new developement on this side of midtown - maybe will squeeze Central Square/Greyhound and all of its ambience out. I am assuming moving the Greyhound station North of Town is dead? I think I remember the city putting the kubosh on the Transit center North of DT. With so many condos on that side of Midtown - I think the area is primed for a bar. Residents have to go East to Celtic Gardens. I think a bar over there would do well maybe closer to Baldwin Park.
  16. This building? http://g.co/maps/f42pv Hopefully they will do something keep Growing Midtown moving South.
  17. They also spent money fixing the sidewalks about 6 mo. ago. I wonder if they will drape some of these old abandonded buildings when All-Star Game comes in 2013? When Houston had Superbowl or Final Four did they do any full building adds? It's definetly not a fix but would look a lot better than current state. Also, saw someone paint balled the brick wall facing off Gray St.
  18. New Year. Will 2012 be the year this eye-sore comes down?
  19. Love Gloria's they have a black bean dip they give you with their salsa that's really good. It's not all Tex-Mex although they have great Fajitas. I think they have Puruvian Owners.
