    The city mailed Notices of Variance Request on this project. Reference 2020-1119. Hearing will be on Thursday. They are moving quickly.

    Woah, did we make it from Monday until mid afternoon on Thursday for a new comment on this? That's gotta be a new record for "longest time without an update." All jokes aside, that's a good update, thanks for sharing. I really do hope this becomes the bastion of development that Rice and the City plan for it to be.

    Based on the number of taps, I would say we are getting a lot more than just 8th Wonder brews.

    Correct. The building that (used to) house Andes Cafe and the Maritime Museum are Phase II.

    Merida is the Navigation champ. Hands down, not even close. Though, more Mex than Tex-Mex.

    Just to steer this more back onto subject...Andes lasted a very long time for a restaurant of its style. 7 years, with the last 2 or 3 without their head chef as he was out exploring projects is pretty impressive. It was the construction at 2404 that finally killed them. Plus, they were always full on Sundays. Very popular with the fresa crowd too.

    Your boy wasn't lying. A good source!

    Oh really? Interesting. Cause I imagine they paid a pretty penny for Gin to design it. But hey, if that's for him, that's awesome!

    I have not. Been monitoring it closely and you're right. It looks to just be fencing left. Website still says 2020.

    Here is one from there personal archive. Never got higher than this.

    Counterpoint: the trolley is moving away from the pedestrian (hence the the cables pulling in the other direction). That said, why does the trolley have a menu? And more importantly, why does it appear to sell burgers, hotdogs, vapes, and baby bottles? As a """millennial,""" I think I'm offended! Also, I take ubmrage to the fact that the Elysian Viaduct isn't painted purple and pink ink their rendering.

    For reasons that I can't articulate, the BBEE developments and the eventual remodel of the Brother's Coffee plant make sense to me, but these just...don't. Maybe if they came AFTER BBEE changes had been done, I'd see it.

    Personally, conflating "EaDo" with "East End" annoys me (especially when their are distinct boundaries), but I've come to live with the fact that it's inevitable. I trust EEMD will keep with the subtle reminders such as signage, event names, etc., while people will go around doing/saying their own thing regardless.

    I always thought this was a bizarre spot for a recreation site. Same with "el segundo" down the street.

    Cajun Town just closed, so, maybe they are just moving?
  16. JBTX
    Can confirm. Many of my clients who used to use air freight to move smaller volume products are getting pushed off the planes and back to sea. Space on planes comes at too high of a premium at the moment. Too expensive for most.

    Your memory serves you well. There was a Midway sign on that property up until very recently.

    So it looks to be a replacement of the existing structure and I presume the vacant lot along the railroad. Is that everyone else's understanding too?
  19. JBTX
    Oh, they've been there for years. If I were to guess, late 2017 to early 2018.
  20. JBTX
    Not just the top floor, I've seen them gut the whole building for the past month or so. Not sure what is going on though.
  21. JBTX
    What did you order? Everything I've ever had was great (but I admittedly just eat all the various dogs they have).

    Personally, I'm a HUGE fan of the warehouse with a giant "BIKE LANE" sign in front of it. Really sad how little people pay attention to the obvious bike paths...

    You know what they say: Sir, there's nothing on earth like a genuine, bona fide, electrified, six-car monorail!

    Cajun town is RIP as of today. For lease sign went up today. Sorry all. Same.

    I get weird looks when I say it, but Merida's is the best Mexican food on Navigation. Spanks Ninfa's and El Tiempo. Only thing is, Merida's is Mexican, not TexMex, so some of their TexMex is moo (sorry queso). Best dishes: pollo pibil and the salsa with serranos and chili pequines that they don't give to everyone unless they know you (just ask for the "other salsa" or "the hotter salsa"). Not BYOB, probably, but I don't know if they'll stop you.
