There are multiple other bus companies that operate out of the East End without any of the issues of the Midtown Greyhound station (the one in Taqueria Monchys is always fine, and they never have security or police around) so if the problem was Greyhound, it seems to have been specifically Greyhound (and not bus stations in general). 

Different crowd using those other bus services in the area. There is some customer base overlap with Greyhound, but not much.

My gut feeling is that even if this place opens, it will not stay in business for too long. There is a lot great food in the area for a reasonable price. Corkys is overprice and not even authentic Texas BBQ. Sad to say this about a business coming to my hood.

When I am right, I am right.

I was talking about when the place supposed to be Corkys, but the principal stands. Also, the owner was a big MAGA fanboy so not sad at all. Karma.

most of the recent photos have been on the East side of this development following the golf course, but I was shocked driving by the West side on Jensen at how much dirt is moving around on that side.

this thing is definitely gathering steam and moving ahead at speed.

It was about time. At this rate, it will be finish once I retire. lol

That's smart on their part. Think of all the extra money they'd make by charging for parking for sporting events/concerts.

I wasn't a big fan of the delapataded buildings there tbh.

As long as parking comes with better lighting for the area, I am all for it! That is the most sketchy part of the walk home after enjoying an Astros/Dynamo game.

What a loser.

UH made one mistake with their stadium. It should had been next to I-45. It would had been such a big statement for UH and Houston.

PM, or typo?

My bad. It should read AM instead of PM. Thank you for the catch.

Why are there so many Federal Grills? I've never been impressed.

The Trumpers got to eat somewhere I suppose. I went to the one in Rice Military several years back. It was empty and the food was bland and overpriced. Never went back and that was before the shenanigans from below.

Houston East End Chamber appears to have accidentally shared some confidential information about potential retail tenants on their Facebook post related to the groundbreaking... see third image on linked post below

https://www.facebook.com/houstoneastendchamber/posts/4270379686380622

Some of these tenants have been known for awhile. There was a file on the Midway site that appeared to have been uploaded by accident. It is somewhere in this tread probably towards the beginning of the year.

This morning I saw a big tent and what appeared to be catering trucks. Groundbreaking, maybe?

The Mill registered with TDLR.

Estimated cost is only $499,000? That doesn't sound right.

Does anyone know what is the reason for Rooftop Cinema stopping movie screenings?

I guess Rooftop wont be coming back to this location.

"Sad news for fans of the cinema club’s buzzy drive-in movie experience, The Drive-In off Navigation. “We’re sad to say that due to complications with city permitting, we aren’t able to re-open this venue,” the email notes."

I also think that affordable housing should be spread equitably throughout the city.

Exactly my point! The Heights have been successfully fighting affordable housing. Karla Cisneros sure loves putting these type of projects in the East End, but fight them off in her neighborhood in the Heights.

The Drive-In, now with signage.

What happened with the drive-in theater? Last time I checked, their website announced all screening have been postponed. .

For those interested in the story, there is now a podcast related to this case called the Chicano Squad.

Let's go for a little more regional flair and have some of these blasting up the bayou at all hours....

I agree with your sentiment, but those things are obnoxiously loud.

Is HAIF in the business of cancelling folks based on social media now?

Sound like someone is afraid of the free market? And here I am thinking that we are capitalist society. I guess it is only when it is convenient.

The owner of the new coffee shop posted this on his story when they first opened. Both Bruce and Hector's posts are in poor taste.

Is this for the Oso coffee shop? If so, isn’t that the same family as Doña Maria?

What’s wrong with these people? Do they think people taking it seriously are doing just for fun? I guess pretty soon there won’t be a place to support on Navigation.

People are entitled to their opinion, even if many here may disagree. If Bruce's posts offend you, I got some really bad news for you about the owner of Roostar...

 

Let's just be happy that people keep their politics and their shop separate, and leave it at that. 

You are 💯 correct that people are entitled to their opinion, but I am entitled to decide how and where I spend my money. It is a two way street.

If you can enlighten me about Roostar, I will appreciate it. Not familiar with the ownership.

And there a lot more where that came from. That is just the last few weeks. 

Well for those who care. It is sad since I was really looking to support the restaurant, Acadian Coast. 

The profile is for the owner of Arcadian Coast and Corkys.

Patio fencing.

It looks like they painted the fence black. IMHO, the red color looked much nicer.
