Will there be any retail at the new Methodist facilities similar to Memorial Hermann?

Anything happen at the meeting? I couldn't make it. Just wondering if anything will change... Thanks

Block in Midtown sold

More than two years after Metro's light rail line took its maiden voyage, development along the 7.5-mile route has been slow to materialize, some have said. Others have argued that point, explaining that big changes take time.

A lot of the transformation so far has taken place in Midtown, where a prime block of land just sold at the corner of Main and Elgin.

A CVS Pharmacy will be built on the southeast corner, according to Marshall Davidson of Cushman & Wakefield,

who was involved in the land sale.

This will be CVS's second store in Midtown. The pharmacy chain already operates an outlet on Gray in the neighborhood's northern end.

Davidson wouldn't disclose the sales price, but properties in the area are being marketed for upwards of $50 per square foot.

"Inevitably, there's going to be a premium paid for properties on that rail line," he said.

Monte L. Tinkham Properties was also involved in the transaction.

Did anybody hear a big explosion sounding boom around 1:30AM last night? My house actually vibrated. Just wondering if anyone else heard or felt it too.

We currently have a location in Downtown and patronize mostly professionals. We also cater to many offices in the TMC already. I didn't mention our name since I didn't want to self promote. I'm pretty certain our reputation and quailty standards are in high regard or at least we do our very best to keep it that way. I just wanted to know if any here on this board knew of any good hotspots. Driving around in the TMC, you do not see many retail areas except around Dryden. Posting here in the first place is part of my initial DDs.

Hello,

I am the owner of Blue Moon Cinemas.  We are doing the Market Square movies and would love for you all to come.  The next series will be planned for early Spring but you can go to our website www.bmcinemas.com and look at our schedule.  We will be posting new events for our 2005 season. 

Thanks

What can we do to make it a permanent event @ Market Square? This past weekend was the largest crowd yet. If it continues, the crowd would only get bigger.

I was looking for some ideas of what this block could be. It is an old 1960's era mall that currently has Les Givral's Cafe as it's most well known tennant. I have a fair amount of influence with the owner of the property and he is looking to either remodel somehow or tear the whole thing down and build. Obviously, one is way more costly than the other. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
