  1. Has anybody heard about any developments on this project. Ever since they put the signs up it has been pretty quiet.
  2. When did Revival become not family friendly? I eat there multiple times a week and the place always has plenty of families, especially on the weekend. My son (who is 3) and I have breakfast there every Saturday morning and if our daughter who is 1 seems to be in the mood to eat out my wife and her come as well.
  3. Agree 100%. Also, from what I have heard this "architect" and laughable "urban land planner" were all hired by commercial business' in the area who have a commercial interest in protecting the parking around there because they themselves don't have enough parking. And it is pretty funny (or really not) that a local business owner stands up and talks about a petition he got signed but himself doesn't provide enough parking for his customers. Sad really. I'm sure the developer will figure something out to still come up with an awesome development that benefits the community because listening to him speak you can tell he actually has a vested interest in the Heights and actually cares unlike most developers I've met. Hopefully, it will be so great that no amount of parking will be sufficient and the area gets flooded with street parking (and I live in the area). I chose to live in an urban area because I like to walk out of my house and see people milling about, etc. Houston is in such an exciting time of growth right now, especially inside the loop. Hopefully, this can help raise community awareness across the city as to how silly these parking minimums are and we can start working to get rid of them. I know I was not all that aware of their effects on good quality urban development before this.
  4. I agree, I am a bit surprised by some of the backlash against the project (although my guess is the supporters would vastly outnumber the opposers but the opposition is always the loudest). The reason I moved to the Heights was because I wanted to live in a dense, urban walkable neighborhood and the Heights offered what we were looking for. I am moving to this area of the Heights and certainly hope the project goes forward as planned.
  5. That sounds great, excited to see what it becomes. Are there any renderings or anything online?
