Two are recently shuttered Underbelly concepts (One Fifth and Hay Merchant/Georgia James). Yeah, the lease was up...I'm sure it will get fenced off and turned into something soon. Another is a link for Handies+Douzo which is in the heights and open, so unsure what that is supposed to be. My guess is the Reddit OP doesn't follow the Houston restaurant scene and recent closures.

There has been a fair amount of utility work in the area recently that I presume is part of the roundabout project as it was being performed on all four sides. Hopefully the project is on its way.

What if we turned an old mall into a high-speed rail station?

You can get literally 10 tacos at Taconazo for $20. Or a combos with multiple tacos and sides for under $20. Last time I went I was...far from sober, along with 2 friends, and $20 fed us easily. Or here is one for sit-down restaurants: Candente's "feast" and grill combo options come in at <$20 a head. Sure, they are $36-$114 for the "feast" but they feed 3-6 easily. The list of other places is long, but I do not feel like derailing this thread further.

I'm so confused. Where do you eat? There are plenty of local places (let alone food trucks) where you can feed 2-3 people for $20.

The strangest thing is how this has gone through multiple administrations to no avail.

Oh man, I haven't had Thundercloud since I moved from Austin in 2009. That needs to be remedied.

It makes way more sense for the rail line to be on the boundary of the project, as opposed to through the middle of it. That said, it seems like the lot is a bit too small for all those buildings. It looks lovely though and I'm all for more dense projects, so fine by me.

Unless these buildings are tiny, does this plan imply that the ROW in the middle of the project is the existing (and very active) rail line? If so, does that mean that Phase 1 is abutted against the Gas Station and Subway? Hard to imagine that this would all be fit between Navigation and the rail line.

Pretty sure it's fine, just the same as bars have parking lots.

Demo equipment has been removed, but the brick structure remains (perhaps for good). Demo rubble and stray trees have been cleaned. Archcon trailers on-site. Guess they are full speed ahead now.

Y'all, STCL is never going to get rid of their parking, sorry. The students have nowhere to park. The two tiny lots aren't enough for even a third of the school's students. Attempts have been made to get the board to approve the construction of a garage on the faculty lot, which is much bigger, but it routinely gets dismissed. We'll all be deep in the cold, cold, ground before STCL gives up those lots.

Praise be. Let's start ASAP.

Update: most of the building is down. Still going to try and take a photo of the "Optimism Starts with You" mural as it gets demolished.

It is quite possible that PNC will be used as a practice facility. That said, there should be more than enough parking at PNC now for teams, equipment, media, etc. Highly doubt it needs expanding just for that.

You have no idea how much I love this picture. Before I started at UH (09) my optometrist told me not to get too attached to campus because every year at least one building will come down, two will go up, and by the time I graduate, the whole place will look completely different. He was quite correct.

Regent Square: Mixed-Use On Allen Parkway At Dunlavy St.
JBTX replied to Travel_n_Transport's topic in Going Up!
He's clearly been taking a back seat for a while, letting Nick Wong and Nick Fine run everything. With just about all of his restaurants closing last year, I'm not surprised to see him go. Let someone else deal with opening all those restaurants at once. Chris has made a huge mark on the Houston food scene and we are all better off for it.- 1,530 replies
