  1. I'm in Montrose but same here. This new dealership will only be 2 miles from me but I'll still be going to North Houston.
  2. Not really. I generally consider Houston to be the hellhole.
  3. There were several (mentioned in this thread) and it didn't seem to make a difference. What makes you think it's a modeling studio? http://www.b4-u-eat.com/houston/restaurants/reviews/rsv3004.asp It's definitely still there.
  4. There's nothing in your original post that explains why moving businesses (that wouldn't be open after hours anyway) to street level or opening tunnels after hours would make any difference. Nor is there anything in your original post that explains why demand for existing street-level businesses is so low despite your claims that there is unsatisfied demand. Perhaps you'd care to point it our for us? Precisely! All you have to do is look at current street level businesses. They're not suffering because of a lack of street level businesses...
  5. Wow, I certainly won't be over there for much... Guess we will see how these retailers hold out.
  6. I'm still rooting for Chick-fil-a. Something like Panera or Einstein Bros would have been cool too. It's too bad about the Chili's though (bleh).
  7. Having decent coffee (unlike Starbucks) helps a lot.
  8. Walking isn't so much a hassle. It's really that the Starbucks in the Target is unappealing since it's staffed by Target employees who clearly don't care. In any case, if I want coffee I'll head to Catalina instead. I highly recommend them. Prior to giving them a shot I wouldn't bother going out for coffee at all since no one could make a latte as good as what I could make at home.
  9. You know, I had the same general attitude against Metro until I did contract IT work for them. They have faced tremendous adversity in getting any rail system implemented here in Houston. It's easy to take potshots without knowing anything but Metro is really taking the future of mass transit very seriously. Believe it or not, the Main Street line was the best they could do given the strength of the opposition. It's not much to speak of but it is a start and it has given them a foothold to build on.
  10. The gates open and close at whatever hours they happen to do so but there is 24 hour access to those parking in that garage.
  11. I would definitely like to see a Whole Foods rather than just a Target with junk food aisles. The Kirby WF location is the nearest one and it's always waaay too crowded. By the way, the link to email new store location suggestions for them can be found at: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/realestate/index.html
  12. Pei Wei's not in the Heights but it's a short drive down Yale/Waugh and really good.
