    Based on the location of that Majestic Aquarium (looks like where Sun & Ski & Target are located), I suspect that is not going to happen.

    There's still a location on Augusta (Dolce & Freddo, that is)

    Wish we could say hello when you're at the Willowisp house but, at that same time, we'll be working at the Caudill house on Kirwick. So... what are the big plans for the house?

    I'm with you and don't like the sprawl happening out in the Katy area, etc. BUT, like you said, if people have a problem with "sprawl" this area, maybe they should've spoken up in the early 50s when neighborhoods were being developed. Memorial Bend, for example, is 50 years old ( Memorial Bend Development ). This area is anything but new - it is well-established and just as old as Meyerland, Braes Heights, Afton Oaks, Ayrshire, Tanglewood, etc. Warrenton and Whispering Oaks (SE corner of Gessner and Memorial Drive) were being built in 1952, three years before Meyerland.

    Parrothead... the article I came across seemed pretty recent. I'll see if I can track it down. BTW - I noticed the link on the bottom of your page. Do you now live in Memorial Bend? The web page you've linked is my page

    Well, it sounds like that spot on the corner of Gessner and I-10 will become a 9-story professional bldg. I hope I'm wrong. The latest I heard was that Central Market might end up in the new Town & Country. Wishful thinking...?

    I keep thinking I need to drive over there and take pictures of the Bali Hai - a great little place.

    Good for them...

    Other houses look to be by Harwood Taylor, Charles E. Lawrence of CRS and Donald Barthelme. A few more are in the wings... it will probably be 8 or so houses spread from the Memorial area to the Hobby Airport area.

    Well, it works in other cities in the U.S. so I can't see why it wouldn't work here.

    Not sure what can be announced but you'll see a mix of residences from some notable Houston architects like Wilson Morris Crain Anderson and William R. Jenkins. Should be great!

    On Willowick... north of San Felipe, West of Kinkaid.

    MacKie and Kamrath's masterpiece is completely gone. Razed. Tragic...

    Maybe the floor manager at Central Market doesn't like the idea that he's going to lose a ton of business to a new store. That would be my guess...

    Well, I wouldn't necessarily call the person reliable or unrealiable... it's a friend who lives off of Gessner in Memorial Forest. So far, she's 1/2 right. I'm hoping she's 100% right.

    About 6 months ago, I heard a rumor about Central Market. The rumormill said that Oshman's (on the corner of Gessner and I-10) was going to move into the old Service Merchandise store (about 1/2 mile west) and Central Market was going to take over the Oshman's location. Well, for the past 6 months, it's been mostly a rumor but we've been watching with interest as the old Service Merchandise store got a facelift. Sure enough, a banner was just hung on the facade announcing that the store would be an Oshman's. So... one down, one to go? Personally, I'm thrilled about having a Central Market nearby if the rest of the rumor is true.
