Warehouse purchased in Eado near coffee plant
linearmovement replied to j_cuevas713's topic in The East End and East Houston
3810 Walker is a cool old house I always hoped would be restored to its former glory; the adjacent lot and the one across the street are both empty and usually overgrown, so the prospect of any kind of construction on those is exciting. -
Navigation Place: Navigation Blvd at Ennis St.

From the post above yours it looks like Oso's @hectorgarciahtx is also rockin' the "HTX". -
The Plant at Harrisburg: 3401 Harrisburg

One of the new places is @thesecondshop -
Christ The Redeemer Church to close
linearmovement replied to amoxill's topic in The East End and East Houston
Brand new sidewalks and some driveways have been poured on the entire perimeter and it's looking great. -

That's incredible news. Boxpark is awesome and if this turns into something remotely similar it'll be a great draw for the neighborhood. -

Do you know if they're meant to be office/co-working spaces or small-scale retail popups (akin to Boxpark in London) or something else entirely? -
Kim Hung Market 1005 St Emanuel St
linearmovement replied to CrockpotandGravel's topic in The East End and East Houston
"Preliminary information reveals a development program for the Kim Hung Rising that includes a mix of studio condo units, a 170 room Hotel, and an assortment of ground floor and second floor retail uses anchored by a grocery store." A grocery store! -
I'm really excited about this - it looks a lot like the Heights Mercantile development on 7th St. between Yale and Heights and I hope it brings in similar businesses (especially Local Foods). Either way, it will be very nice to have this easily accessible by bike or foot from Eastwood and parts of Second Ward to serve as an activity hub for the neighborhood and nudge some more development in the available empty warehouses further west along McKinney. With The Plant right up the street at Harrisburg and East End Backyard just down the street at Lamar, Sampson is also becoming quite the corridor

612 Live Oak - Brass Tacks
linearmovement replied to linearmovement's topic in The East End and East Houston
I am 100% agreement; plenty of street parking around there and we already have too much of the city's space dedicated to cars. I did neglect to mention that their patio looks solid. She mentioned that they also have a canopy that shades it, but it was taken down in advance of the threat of Laura. -
612 Live Oak - Brass Tacks
linearmovement replied to linearmovement's topic in The East End and East Houston
This place is indeed open. We stopped in for a coffee this morning since Giant Leap is temporarily unavailable until they move into their new space at the Plant and nothing else is open at 7am (Xela opens at 8, Coral Sword at 9, and Bohemeo's is still temporarily closed). Good coffee, friendly service, lots of workspaces (including private booths) and plenty of parking. -
Someone on Nextdoor posted photos of construction activity on this triangular lot at the corner of Telephone and Henninger and according to those working on the site, it's going to be a coffee shop. I drove past yesterday (and failed to get photos - sorry), and it looks like there's potential for a great patio/beer garden with some shipping container structures in addition to the main building, kind of like Retrospect next to Axelrad. Coral Sword's just a few blocks up Telephone, but this new spot could be great if they focus on patio atmosphere.

This morning I saw armadillos going in next to repainted lanes on Cullen south of Polk.

6501 Harrisburg - Street to Kitchen Thai
linearmovement replied to linearmovement's topic in The East End and East Houston
An Exciting New Restaurant Brings Crispy Thai Fried Chicken to Houston’s East End -
Posted via Instagram last night, Street to Kitchen Thai is moving from their current kitchen on Cavalcade to the East End (It looks like the spot that used to be a Popeyes, next to the gas station). They used to do pretty frequent popups at Danny Speedo's and their food is pretty great so this is VERY exciting news.

Traffic Calming Being Tested in East End
linearmovement replied to samagon's topic in Bicycles and Other Low-Impact Modes
I ride a lot and completely disagree with this - maybe it'll be different when the bike lanes are redone, but currently on Polk there's always a ton of debris in the bike lanes (especially under the railroad bridge near Milby), plenty of vehicle traffic, and the miserably long light at Scott. The Hike and Bike trail requires slowing at every street crossing (same with Columbia Tap). As long as you don't get stuck at the train near Milby, McKinney is by far the best cycle connector between Dumble and downtown - it's a straight shot with relatively low traffic, few stop lights, a second lane in -
Traffic Calming Being Tested in East End

Not to mention the poor visibility of eastbound traffic around the corner on McKinney when stopped at the northbound stop sign on Cullen. -
612 Live Oak - Brass Tacks

I couldn't find another topic about this place, but the building at 612 Live Oak that's been under renovation for a while now has signs in the parking lot and what looks like a fully built-out bar inside. An old Swamplot post says it's a co-working space with kitchen and bar. Their Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts haven't had any updates in quite a while, but it looks like this place is nearing completion. Somehow I left without taking a photo of the outside of the building, but I got one of the parking lot sign, and the interior through the window (please forgive the awful glare).

Atlantic Coffee Solutions CLOSING

It looks like they filed for bankruptcy back in April -
East End Backyard - 1105 Sampson Street
linearmovement replied to HoustonMidtown's topic in The East End and East Houston
Soft opening July 4, according to Instagram. -
Agreed - something cool and unique would be ideal. If it had to be a chain, I'd want Local Foods.

Milby Food Market is now J's Deli & Bodega
linearmovement replied to ljchou's topic in The East End and East Houston
I think this place may be open. There was a sign up front and I couldn't tell if they were already open or opening soon, but a quick search shows 2 Google reviews with a few food photos.
