    Time for an update.

    Interesting. The 60 day sign is down, and there is now the railing for a sidewalk cafe at Live Sports Bar. The race is on - will they open before the Final Four?

    There is now a Texas flag flying from the top of the building. Can't really get a good shot with my phone. I do not see a tree.

    The new planter boxes are now in place on the 200, 300 and 400 blocks of Main. Might be more going south, but I can't confirm at the moment. They appear to be made of rusted steel.

    Yes.

    The bike/pedestrian trail is now complete on the south side of the bayou between Sesquicentennial Park and Allen's Landing. They've also upgraded the steps connecting the path to this rear patio behind the Magnolia Brewery building. Somebody put a cafe here please & thanks.

    Two projects that will completely change the Market Square Historic District. Installing support beams for the lower pool deck. Brad Moore sighting!

    Had coffee and a waffle in Cafe Bene today. Tasty. Starting to get a good feeling about what they are doing in Green Street.

    Making progress. Exterior stairs look complete and bayou-side patio is installed. The support pillars are in place for the pedestrian catwalk to Commerce St.

    New windows look great, and there are definitely already blinds in some of them (spilled coffee all over self getting this shot). Still working on excavating the hole.

    From a business owner perspective, these garages are important for two groups: Customers and Employees. Each new restaurant, shop and bar that opens is going to draw more folks to the area - and draw them at the same time. Downtown's on-street parking is increasingly tight, and not just during peak nightlife hours. My business leases a dedicated spot, the monthly cost of which has doubled in the past six months. Most of downtown metered parking is only for three hour chunks during the day, which means they aren't an option for someone coming in to work a shift, or to spend the afternoon and evening shopping, dining and drinking. On New Years the surface lots across from my business were charging $20. Its even worse for major events around Minute Maid and Toyota Center. More parking facilities will have a downward pressure on pricing, or at the very least keep it from getting further out of hand.

    Since that story was first written, the For Lease signs have gone back up in the building. It doesn't look like they are moving forward with that. Really weird/cool to see Brad Moore get a shout-out in this forum.
