  1. I hope not. That Art Supply store has some character and it would be nice to have that in Midtown permanently.
  2. The former Mia Bella place I hope gets a tenant soon because if the plumbing/electrical issue really is a nightmare then I would hate for the city to find a reason to lose this place all together.
  3. Man I wish more shopping strips looked like this!
  4. Wow this is gonna be a nice addition to the area
  5. http://www.chron.com/business/real-estate/article/Downtown-property-owner-files-lawsuit-to-halt-7375374.php
  6. The only thing I wish that building would do is updgrade the sidewalks. Those things look hideous downtown.
  7. No I'm speaking more on if it affects his ability to even look over any lawsuits filed. Like how does this effect him being able to do his job?
  8. Feds file fraud charges against Ken Paxton Not sure how big of an impact this has on anything but curious if anyone knows.
  9. HAHAHA! Man there is no way they have a case. They are fighting tooth and nail with whatever they can. Wayne Dolefino!? HAHAHA! Dude needs to get a life.
  10. I feel like I just read a verse from the Bible. But yes you are right Monarch. I mean but still, I think it would look good to visitors for them to see construction.
  11. Why couldn't you just take the bus and transfer? Any rail system is simply a compliment to its bus system. I'm sure you could still use public transportation and not have to use your car. The good thing about the location is it will force development in this area even more. So while I agree that this would be nice downtown, I think in order to speed up the process this is what's needed.
  12. Doesn't look like this is gonna happen guys. The original sign that was on either corner of the block with the revised rendering has been taken down. There are new signs that say RETAIL SPACE FOR LEASE on the half block where that Vietnamese restaurant was.
  13. What would be awesome is if both lots were filled with residential, that would def make up for demoing this building.
  14. I really hate seeing this building go... I'm actually right next to it now... I mean we will have a crater on this side of DT... right next to the massive Chase tower... idk, just hope something replaces one of these lots soon because this is depressing... you have a boom and to replace all the great construction you have Skanska build a garage and the Chronicle building coming down.
  15. Wow that's awesome! Retail is going to explode downtown very soon!
  16. No I'm not saying that nor am I saying it needs to be a grid. What I am saying is that when the city approves a particular development, they need to fully consider how it interacts with pedestrians. And unless the developer can meet those needs, then the project should be postponed, etc. The problem is every project is approved. Developers seem to run this city and the city does little to create a standard for development.
  17. Yeah I know but the city pump so much money downtown and then neglects the neighborhoods around it. Why doesn't the city just take over all infrastructure. If business owners have to create their own sidewalk, then all you're gonna get is a bunch of patchwork sidewalks trying to fit together.
  18. And I totally get that, but even if an area is not on a grid, why can't the city at least develop it to meet the needs of the average walker?
  19. I say an other stage a Buffalo Bayou Park. Force people to check out that side and they will flood Montrose, etc
  20. Thank goodness, cause that thing is horrendous. Good to see a change.
