  1. Oliver @ Crockett is now attached. so this is the southside of the Target.
  2. https://www.houstoniamag.com/travel-and-outdoors/2018/07/fireflies-houston-texas
  3. i mean those are real Asian eateries opened by asians? are they not real because they started as food trucks?
  4. apparently the last place inside the loop with lightning bugs is the grassy area between the MKT trail and this development. So... we're probably about to lose the last lightning bugs in the city. that's a bummer.
  5. like half a mile behind this Dumpling Haus and Sticky's Chicken have opened up in Sawyer Yards in the past monthish.
  6. a new building opening with actual decent-sized cubicles instead of a open office plan is a godsend in 2020.
  7. this is somehow uglier than the decaying bar that is currently on the property. It's a shame something more novel can't be placed here. This lot is essentially surrounded by the most functioning-native greenspace/woods inside the loop (sans memorial park). I am pretty consistently amazed at how many songbirds i see in my backyard a half-mile south of this area.
  8. everything i've seen from Metro has shown the only theoretical BRT stop between the NW transit center and downtown to be between shepheard/durham. I've never seen anything suggesting Studewood.
  9. central market will always be HEB's flagship for houston though? the gumption to build this across the street from Whole Foods is just.... wow.
  10. Willow BBQ is apparently going to be pitmaster... it's going to be called J-M BBQ. "Fall 2020" ( i did not read the first page before posting this, whoops)
  11. its kind of incredible that Oliver Street will be the block in Houston with the most change in 2020. Between this, the Urban South strip, and then the "lower heights" at the top of it. just an insane amount of development over a half mile strip of warehouse district.
  12. im amazed these aren't already owned by Rice or one of the hospitals. these are so gorgeous
  13. City Orchard had little "go this way" signs from oliver->center->national and i was very incredulous when i followed them this weekend, and very pleasantly surprised by this being real, it could literally have opened last week.
  14. The Axe Throwing Place, and the City Cider(which has an absurdly large side-yard (and 2 house-brewed beers on tap+4 housebrewed-ciders and ~8 non-local ciders on tap) are now open. Urban South just posted that they've brewed their first beer in the building as well. they've also connected National Street and added parking lot, so you don't have to take Oliver St which is pretty rough right now
  15. Local Group Brewing appears really close to opening and it is right across the street.
  16. all of my search efforts are for not.. so apologies about placement but does anyone know whats happening on the block next to the new Buffalo Bayou Brewery that has been fenced off
  17. huh? I am a millennial. Everyone in my friend group lived in Montrose 10 years ago, literally none of them live there now. I will say that @Luminare is right, you can still rent in Montrose affordably, but as soon as you want to buy.... Montrose is meaningfully more expensive than the heights. You can still get decent houses on the eastside of the heights for 400-500k, you're paying 700k+ for that house in the montrose.
  18. all i see is that it's going to be harder for me to casually get southside coffee on saturday mornings. I'm also really unsure who is going to come here? Montrose has already been effectively priced out for millennials, so it doesn't have the same sort of foot traffic as even areas of the Heights do. Haven't two shops already closed in the brand new strip center across from Uchi already in less than a year?
  19. i too was getting my car serviced there this morning. creepy.
  20. nothing that the community requested/threw up alarms about is changed on this. I went to 3 meetings and everything i flat out said was ignorant of facts on the ground is still in these plans.
  21. 288 was literally built on top of the house of Jack Caesar after it was firebombed by racists afraid that him moving into Riverside Terrace would cause white flight. "The percentage of the population being white declined from 97% in 1950 to 5% in 1970." If you're including Riverside Terrace as part of 3rd ward (most people do), it was absolutely impacted. https://exhibits.lib.uh.edu/exhibits/show/thisisourhome <- Incredible documentary from the late 80s about riverside terrace and white flight. https://forgottenhouston.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/bombing-on-the-bayou-riverside-terrace-and-jack-caesar/
  22. Can you point me to that plan? their GIS(?) data seriously had the BRT coming down the blocks between houston and hickory? Your map also suggest that a BRT lane would be built through like 2 miles of white oak bayou's greenway/parkland. That also seems less-than-ideal/likely.
