  1. Every. Damn. Time. It's not going to be a Sprouts people. I will try to give people the benefit of the doubt that it's more a symptom of the neighborhood needs a better grocery store than Polk Kroger.
  2. They've started construction. I'll try to snap a picture when I wall past next time.
  3. Read some comments on Nextdoor about this and you would think a brothel was moving in 🙄
  4. I didn't. I was trying to live in the moment (which may be overrated? Lol. I kid.) A bunch of people took some though, and I hope you get to soon!
  5. Went there last week and watched the sun set over downtown. It was spectacular.
  6. Stopped by Teaspresso this AM. Still in their soft opening. If you've been to the Heights location, then you'll be familiar with the vibe and menu. A little expensive for boba imo (a boba with one topping and a 18% tip ran me $7), but it's good. The person I spoke to, who I believe is one of the owners, lives closeby in the neighborhood, so grab some boba and support local!
  7. So you can get your meds and then sit on the roof and take them? Sounds ideal.
  8. Still moving... They have a little driveway and parking lot carved out now. Interested to see it completed!
  9. A little bit of retail in that part of town would be nice! There's a few sad looking strip centers near there south of the rail road tracks that could also use a face lift.
  10. They're doing that on parts of the overpass next to Hardy Yards on the Northside. I think it's like flowers and greenery, and it looks really cool!
  11. Proposed #5 - If it's Watershed, might be a second location of this spot: https://www.watershedhtx.com/ #7 - I am all about Orange Theory moving in closer to me In Negotiation #2 - Interesting that the Astorian is trying to build another space. The one near the Target on Sawyer is beautiful but like right next to that Target. Maybe this space will have a nice view of the Bayou/ Downtown.
  12. That underpass is quite unfortunate. That's our entrance to the bayou, and I swear when I take visitors to walk along the bayou, they probably think I'm going to take their kidneys or something. Once they clean up the sidewalks on Lockwood, it'll look better and if they can add some plants and rocks like they do at most of the other underpasses on the west side of Downtown, it'll look so nice and maybe discourage people from dumping their garbage under there. Also, I asked about that unpaved section next to Tony Marron park at one of the recent BBP meetings, and they said it's slated to be paved/ manicured once they start their East End work.
  13. I'm pretty sure they were supposed to open like a year ago... So the fact that there's a structure is positive in my book. Lol.
  14. The noise from Night Shifts roof would drive me crazy, so hopefully they have some good ear plugs 😂 Cool design though and loving added density to the Harrisburg corridor.
  15. This is a very generous rating of the HEB at Gulfgate...
  16. Well, the permit was specifically for the building at 4210 Canal, which was the building that used to house the skate shop. It definitely looks more retail, so I was surprised to see the company on the permit managed Airbnbs. The house behind this building is currently under renovations as well.
  17. So cool! Maybe this means more businesses will move in to support the folks who will move in there. There was that one empty lot on Navigation and Baywood that had a "coffee shop coming soon" banner on it forever and recently got taken down.
  18. This company was on the newest permit (for plumbing work) on the window. Not sure if that means they plan to turn it into Airbnb rentals? https://www.instagram.com/vineyardparkrentals/
  19. I will probably never go to either of these places, but that's cool they're repurposing an old warehouse! Will the St Emmanuel location not be affected by the 45 expansion?
  20. Tried the adult Capri Sun and the churros yesterday. Everything was great and really liked what they did with the decor.
