Between this and the relocated Printing Museum, maybe this part of Midtown is becoming Museum District Light 🙂

think I noticed the printing museum was closed. or at least for lease.

is "YARS"...intentional?

interesting. CNN had an almost identical article today. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/12/17/business/greyhound-buses-transportation-cities/index.html

anyone know any updates? Was considering donating to BCycle but not if it's just flushing it down the toilet.

Didn't know this JJ had closed. They refused to specialize my sando last time I went. Good riddance.

cool - I hope they make it known where all this is available. ^Chicago is awesome and I usually don't take busses, but their system made it so easy (just swipe your credit card)

Signage is up

Wine was 30% off on Saturday. Did they change it to 50% off?

yes

Went around 2:30. There was almost nothing grocery-wise, but a lot of wine left - and it was now 50% off as well.

whoa

Signage says it's leasing. Website still says "coming soon" https://www.carolineloftsapts.com/

Myself and I believe another HAIFer also got lifetime memberships last year.  

Causation and correlation and all that but I sure hope it doesn't mean we're done for when they shutter!

I "won" a lifetime membership with BCycle last "Tour de BCycle." I will miss it.

I would be thrilled for Metro's development but they're all e-bikes and I use the system for exercise.

Maybe it's time to buy a bike...maybe.

...

oh this is the Michelangelo God building??

I have a feeling that the homeless issue in Midtown is going be a problem here 

Yeah I don't really know what they're thinking.

That's gonna be 3202 Crawford, not Elgin.

3202 Elgin is around Columbia Rail to Trail :)

Signage

Dont, wait!

it also works great for Vonlane.

 

I was in Corpus Christi this weekend and the old Greyhound bus station was turned into a bar called "BUS" pretty cool concept, but that bus station was a lot smaller than Houston's and I'm sure when they bought it, it was a lot cheaper.

Or The Grey in Savannah

the Embassy Suites is just hilarious.

Ha ha!  It’s simply replacing one traumatic experience (walking single file down two levels of stairs to the basement) with another (the unpleasant experience of using a porta potty)!

I am so looking forward to the renovations!

Amen, the Jones Hall bathrooms were already a nightmare!
