Houston Chronicle published an article today about Greyhound closing its Midtown bus station at 2121 Main St: Downtown Houston’s much-maligned Greyhound bus terminal will be empty Thursday, as the bus operator shifts service to an East End location. Greyhound on Tuesday confirmed all buses will operate out of 7000 Harrisburg location, near 69th Street, effective Nov. 30. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/transportation/article/greyhound-leaving-downtown-houston-for-east-end-18520258.php

Happy Go Lucky received its pre-opening inspection from the city's health department earlier this month. Typically, after a pre-opening inspection, restaurants or bars open shortly thereafter. Sometimes it's anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. And other times it's a month or so later. I suppose we'll find out sooner or later. Happy Go Lucky is a drive-thru bar and Italian ice concept from the team behind The Burger Joint and The Taco Stand. It's located at 2102 N Shepherd Dr.

Yoyos Hot Dog (sometimes spelled as Yoyo's Hot Dogs on their social media posts) is opening a food stall at Post Houston. The food cart has a loyal following. It was a late night fixture in Rice Village for several years. Since then, it's popped up at 8th Wonder Brewery and Now & Never. I'm not sure when Yoyos plans to open at Post Houston. https://www.yoyoshotdog.com https://www.instagram.com/yoyoshotdogshtx

Any updates regarding what's in planning for 2201 Congress St and 2211 Congress St? Are there plans for a parking lot on one or both properties? As noted this summer, lease agreement on file with the county lists Joystix as a tenant at 2201 Congress St.

1891 / 1891 American Eatery & Bar is open. I don't know if it opened over the weekend or today. The restaurant is located at 702 E 11th St, previously home to Berryhill Baja Grill. According to Houston Chronicle, the press release notes "1891 American Eatery & Bar comes from Australian chef Jason Gould, as well as Brad Serey (Common Bond) and Garza Management Group (El Bolillo and Common Bond)." More from Houston Business Journal's article today: The approximately 5,000-square-foot restaurant seats 100 people in its dining room plus about 30 to 40 on the patio. Houston-based Chodrow Realty Advisors represented both parties on the lease, and Ferenc Dreef, principal and owner of local design studio Kollectiv, was the interior designer for 1891. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/restaurants-bars/article/1891-american-eatery-restaurant-heights-houston-18517238.php https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2023/11/27/1891-american-eatery-and-bar-opens-heights.html

Mods, is it possible the title be changed to something else? And also moved from the Going Up forum? Majority of the posts and photos pertain to East End on the Bayou, the townhomes at 2751-2781 Freund St. I understand there were plans for East End on the Bayou I (802 N Nagle St) and East End on the Bayou II (415 N St Charles St), but it seems those plans are no more. The current title refers to properties in EaDo (802 Nagle St and 415 St Charles St) and not the aforementioned Second Ward properties at 802 N Nagle St and 415 N St Charles St (likely Highrise Tower's doing): As it is now, there are discussions about three different properties that were once proposed for a residential development. Out of those three, only one of those properties contain townhomes. The others are either on the market or no longer for sale. At least that what it seems, but I could be wrong. If I am, please let me know. @Urbannizer @Triton

Mods @Urbannizer @Triton perhaps the title should be changed to 415 N St Charles St? 425 N Live Oak St and 431 N Live Oak St, along with 415 N St Charles St are located on the 415 N St Charles St parcel.

The official Instagram for Maxaryk launched last month. Their social doesn't have much information about the concept. In one post, there is a possible rendering of the bar. It could also be some kind of design inspiration. I really don't know. Maxaryk is located at 95 Tuam St, Suite 103. https://www.instagram.com/maxaryk.bar

According to LoopNet, 3600 Harrisburg Blvd is still under contract. September 14 is the last update to the listing. There is no documentation in county records indicating the property changing hands. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/3600-Harrisburg-Blvd-Houston-TX/25555581/

Below is an update pertaining to bus services at Greyhound's hub in Midtown (2121 Main St). The bus stop will be relocated to 7000 Harrisburg Boulevard effective November 30. @McD.land posted the update yesterday in the topic for Greyhound & Autobuses Americanos | 7000 Harrisburg Blvd. https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/50162-greyhound-autobuses-americanos-7000-harrisburg-blvd/?do=findComment&comment=692417

Last month, Kraftsmen Baking shared reels of its pastry room on Instagram. Below is the caption from the post: So thankful to everyone who made this move possible from our electricians, to our builders , managers , designers , contractors, and subcontractors. This new place is a beast ! We are back and better than ever. We are still not open to the public yet but enjoy the experience on our feed of how it looks on the wholesale side of things , our bread and butter. Literally. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy8yqChAOPA/

I sent a message to Nickel City's Instagram earlier this month to verify their participating in Sippin' Santa. Basically, their response was along the lines of, "any updates will be posted to our social." So, I appreciate the update, @HNathoo.

I think 1891 / 1891 American Eatery & Bar may open to the public next week. Sometime in the last 24 hours, the restaurant's website went live. There is no mention of an opening date, however, on the site. Also, none of 1891's social media platforms include an opening announcement. Below is a photo of the restaurant's interior, which is from the website. 1891 / 1891 American Eatery & Bar replaces Berryhill's in the Heights.
