  1. New concrete poured and polished at the front of the store by the registers. It's so shiny! They had the floor taped for a week.. Baby eels, "Angulas are one of the supreme seafood delicacies of Spain" "very rare and highly sought" 4 oz for $50 Fran's Chocolates from Seattle. Wonder if this is going to be a staple or if it's a special.
  2. Downstairs bathroom by the food court. The family bathroom near the wine department is also getting a touch up.
  3. I heard rumors that only one bathroom set will be remolded. Basically all the (male) bathrooms are "torn apart" though. Maybe they'll touch them up, but just not remodel them with new sinks, urinals, toilets, etc. One thing that CM doesn't do a good job at is the men's bathrooms. Yuck New wine racks by the meat deli
  4. Across the street at Whole Foods Old/New Windows going in this week Off topic, Whole Foods down the street got new stone/signage this week. Looks a lot better
  5. CM really is luxury grocery. It's located in The Galleria/River Oaks area so.. Caviar that's $340
  6. Oh yeah!! New shelving!! (Was put in place a few weeks ago. Just now sharing photos.)
  7. Sneak peak update on their new in-house chocolate factory. Copper line. Sushi department? Other side of the copper line.. temperature controlled shelving. Might be the same design as the others in the "prepared foods" area? 2nd floor by the kitchen school had this blue tarp last month. That area is now filled with seating! They expanded the upstairs "cafe seating". Such a massive place.
  8. New, massive cooler. Floral department's? New format of spice bins. A refreshed look. New deep tubs of in-store peanut butter. New, low profile wine shelves.
  9. That's it, I'm done. Central Market is amazing!! wow Sorry, no photos. Well, I have about 50 photos from the past few months but don't want to take the time to post them. Bathrooms are starting to be remodeled, or are they just that gross? Hoping the bathrooms get touched up. I'm a honey and maple syrup collector.. CM just started a Greek section. They have like 9 times of Greek honey! I don't see how a single store can have like 30 types of honey. Their chip isle(s)! They have a tortilla chip isle, and then a "flavored" chip isle. Probably a selection of 75 different types of chips? It's just amazing.. the selection you have. That's how you spend money! Gotta have control..
  10. Sexy (behind the scenes) What is that used for!?! Home made chocolate? CM did not spend money on bathroom remodels. I even heard a angry customer saying there wasn't a "baby changing" area. Edit: I have not seen the drawings. I could be wrong..
  11. Sorry guys. I've stopped updating this thread because I feel guilty after drinking a few beers then posting. Feel like I'm PWD (Posting While Drunk) CM made a major milestone in construction this week. OMG I can't handle it. I have like 20 photos to share but don't want to post them all.. I have accumulated construction photos over the past month. Here are some from this weekends! Old Central Market logo was removed. Temp banner as replacement What's in the boxes!?! (Register parts?) New red brick and new register systems New register system "Sky high" ceiling as they were advertising Prairie Pirate Paradise was on tap. Ranks a 95 on BA, which is World Class status. Drank three glasses and decided to leave. Can't flurf where I eat. Update: The next day it was sold out! I only got to have three pours :/ Good stuff for sure. Drinking in the trendy part of town
  12. Photos taken Saturday, October 01, 2016 Friday, October 07, 2016. Concrete!
  13. The entrance is massive! Maybe the structure has risen? It's so high up, and has some type of corrugated steel roof panel. Parking? Did H-E-B buy additional land to expand parking? With a bigger store, comes bigger crowds. There was (forum) talks about H-E-B buying the apartment complex to the left. Well, at least their parking garage. Thought about H-E-B stock. They're the biggest grocer in Texas?
  14. Not that I'm aware of. Both are populated with office/warehouse space. Chick-Fil-A gets so busy during lunch that I bet they will both remain open. Raising Cane's signage is up. What a hot development area! Bellaire High School going in down the street at Fournace & S. Rice? On the Chevron campus. No way.. Bellaire/HISD has "funds" so anything could happen. That intersection would be overly dense for all three schools. Flooding is also a concern in that area. Somebody had mentioned that the entire Chevron campus is too big for the Bellaire High School building. HISD and a developer would split the land. I knew something was going to happen, fast! I posted about it a few months ago, on another forum, skyscraperpag, Hot land.. Right off the W. Loop, on Chevron property, across the freeway from the upcoming Houston Methodist Hospital development.
  15. Photos taken Sunday, September 25, 2016 High structure! Wondering how the atrium is going to pan out. It would be nice to own land on San Felipe..
  16. Photos taken Sunday, September 18, 2016 The kitchen utensil area is now illuminated! Looks 1,000 times better! Resembles a mall shelf or something.
  17. http://www.newquest.com/pdfs/South_Cross_Center.pdf Anybody know whose doing the CDs for this NQ project?
  18. I am not. I collect Riedel crystal. The CM Riedel glasses are always limited edition (one time pressing) so they're always a bit special. If I break a glass, I cannot re buy it Crystal is top shelf, the bottom is beer glasses, etc. Really, the Riedel crystal is so thin it's scary to drink out of. Mainly used for display.
  19. Chick-fil-A going in at Shoppes at Uptown Crossing! http://capitalretailproperties.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Uptown-Crossing-Flier-EMAIL.pdf Three chicken places. Raising Cane's (across the street), El Pollo Loco, and Chick-fil-A. Going to get busy around lunch time. The Walmart store has plenty of parking though. Place has really developed!
