Pizza in Houston
kbates2 replied to Nakatosh's topic in Houston Area Dining, Shopping and Entertainment
We apparently do not have the same taste in food. Fire House Pizza is kind of gross. -
East End Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming
kbates2 replied to sir_foulto's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
I've had Moon Tower a ton of times and the food is awesome. The burgers are legit as are the dogs. I usually go for chef's choice for the toppings on my hot dog and that is where you run a high risk/reward chance. I've had amazing dogs that way and have had some failures too. -
Tried to snap this while driving. The uncovered garage is looking awesome now. Glad they went this route.

I’m fine with the new crown, I just feel like the glass podium looks more alive from the street level than the stone.- 1,067 replies

The middle-man was apparently intense there but, to be honest, I think a lot of the closings there came as a result of the lack of quality overall of the food. Mala was still pretty legit but a lot of people can't handle sichuan spice and so they need a lot of traffic in the place to get enough people that can. There were a lot of subpar food options there. I live and work downtown and barely went. My coworkers who went said the food was bad. I think that the management group that charged all of that money failed good places like Mala by surrounding them with options that wouldn't increase traffic.

Same. It’s directly in my work from home view.

It may have more potential than any other lot downtown due to the location. I always hope for a crown jewel at the street level here.

I-45 Rebuild (North Houston Highway Improvement Project)
kbates2 replied to ToryGattis's topic in Traffic and Transportation
So I haven't spent much time in this thread, and now at 35 pages catching up seems daunting, so I will just ask the question for anybody who may already know more. Are they widening 45 around the north main/houston ave area? If so are they going to expand both ways? Just west? Just east? Imminent domain going to be used anywhere?- 3,347 replies

I was really referring to the vantage point of Triton's photo, which was taken from the parking garage on Milam and Franklin - the one with two massive giant blank cement walls.- 1,067 replies

Apparently this project is back on. "Sovereign Properties will resume construction on a mid-rise apartment project near Minute Maid Park in downtown Houston after securing new financing. Acres Capital Corp., a commercial real estate lender based in New York, provided a $49 million construction loan to fund completion of the project, now called Sovereign at the Ballpark, a 229-unit complex at the northeast corner of Crawford and Commerce." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Stalled-downtown-apartment-project-to-resume-15018116.php

Seems like the city still thinks cutting down mature trees and planting saplings is net neutral. At least it doesn't get hot here in the summer.
