    Don't know what to make of this, the chainlink fence surrounding the future project has come down but their website still shows it. https://www.thexlife.co

    I thought the tower crane was coming down but on closer inspection it was hanging heavy precast walls.

    If their prices are anything like their downtown restaurant, the prices are very reasonable and they are good.

    I think at one time the Axiom used to be a Askew's Drug store and the upstairs was a hotel. It later became a brothel then a liquor warehouse. I used to go to Axiom when it was open. Some up and coming bands played there including some band named Nirvana, Flaming Lips, Yo La Tengo, Social Distortion and many others. https://www.houstonpress.com/music/almost-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-the-axiom-6491690 https://www.houstonpress.com/music/the-axiom-6574860

    Could it be the block where IBC bank is and the old Canopy was? Most of the businesses here have closed. Some Mortgage Recovery Fund owns it so they probably want to get their money back when the leases are up. St Thomas University owns the lot where Black Lab was and city of Houston owns the library but I wouldn't be surprised if they sell to UST.

    This banner is hanging on the fence where the loading dock used to be.

    Houston’s Newest Food Truck Park Will Highlight Black-Owned Restaurants Houston Grub Park officially opens this weekend with a rotating line-up of trucks serving everything from giant egg rolls to cocktails by Brittanie Shey@brittanieshey Jul 21, 2021, 12:10pm CDT A brand new food truck park that aims to showcase Houston’s black-owned mobile eateries will open this weekend just south of NRG Stadium. Houston Grub Park, a project from the Black Service Chamber, will open this Saturday, July 24, at 4 p.m. The park will be located at 1615 South Loop West, just south of the Loop from NRG Park and the Astrodome. BSC is an organization that helps highlight and promote Black business owners in Houston. The group is also behind Hungry for the Culture, a smartphone app that acts as a global database for Black-owned restaurants. The park will host about 30 trucks. Perhaps most notable is Trap Kitchen, a hugely popular West Coast food truck that is launching its first Houston location with the park’s opening. That restaurant, called Trap Kitchen Habatchi, focuses on Asian-inspired Southern food cooked on a hibachi grill. The park will also host a number of local trucks, including Rosalyn’s Hot Chicken, Stewart Brotha’s BBQ, and Saucy Nosh, which serves giant egg rolls stuffed with Southern sides like crawfish étouffée and Caribbean-style chicken. The park will also include a dedicated bar station serving beer and other alcoholic drinks. Houston Grub Park, which is located in a former Sam’s Club lot, will offer plenty of parking, plus more than 1,500 square feet of shade with fans and misting systems, organizers say. It will also be family friendly. Diners will be able to order from each individual food truck via an app that will show estimated pick-up time, making it easier for people to plan their visit. There will also be a dedicated customer service booth. The organizers say they are aiming for a tailgate-like feel, a low-cost place where people can meet up for a night out. They also tout the park’s walking distance to NRG Stadium and the light rail, making it a central hub for several other Houston activities and festivals, like Astros games, concerts, and the Houston Rodeo. Once it launches this weekend, Houston Grub Park will be open Thursdays through Sundays.

    I don't have a drone, I use my iPhone 11 Pro for all my pics. @cityliving and @brijonmang both take drone pics though.

    Bike Tag is a game some people play on Reddit/bikehouston https://www.reddit.com/r/bikehouston/. You find a unique accessible site and take a pic of your bike with the object/site/mural. Riders have to find that tag and then create a new tag. I've been playing for years and is something I often look for when riding around. You look for clues in the pic and then use Google/Google Maps to try finding the pic. It got really popular during the covid shutdown since many were working from home. It has slowed down recently because many are back at work but were are up to Tag #367. I first started playing at Tag#39. Someone has now created a Bike Tag map to help prevent reusing past tags.

    Yeah, at that point it might be unrideable but I don't think the Hardy connection is going to happen anytime soon.

    I rode both sides on Sunday morning around 9am, I had 1 car pass me. The shoulder is as wide as a lane and the speed limit is 40mph. I will continue to ride it early on weekends.

    From today's Houston Chronicle..... Idle Hands leased 4,711 square feet at the former Rosemont bar location at Montrose Collective, 910 Westheimer, for a Houston location. The development is a project by Radom Capital and was represented by Brittney Austin and Linda Rubiola of Shop Cos. Hannah Tosch, Wade Greene and Chris Nash of Colliers represented the tenant. Idle Hands, also in Austin, is a partnership of Matt Wolski and Andrew Hunter. The Montrose location will provide tropical craft cocktails, a full kitchen with roof deck/patio seating and live music upon opening this fall, according to Colliers.

    Had to drag out my road bike to chase a Bike Tag, gravel bike is in the shop for rear wheel bearing replacement. My Paramount OS is a really nice, light weight and fast bike but it's a racing bike and not as comfortable of a ride as my AWOL Comp. Bike Tag I found.....
