    If you can't beat them...Who is a good barber in that area anyway ?

    Actually,what if they decided to place the residential component right smack on top of a new hotel addition... Imagine what would get posted then, do you think it would still be false hope or simply awesome ?

    Nice try, but I never stated that I wanted a specialty grocery store ??? Nor do I believe there is anything wrong with lots of things that don't currently exist downtown. I think that not having a lot of duplication is a good thing for an area and probably benefits the business owner the most under some circumstances. Actually, that is one thing that makes the Houston Pavilions unique because there is really nothing like it in downtown or in the city for that matter...

    What do you think downtown is ready for ? Just curious.

    I think that what is also being said is that it doesn't matter so much where the stores are located in the u.s. because a lot of these high end stores are european and in europe you do find these stores open late at night. I think the entire 24 hour thing has more to do with the area of town, and with that being said Galleria in my opinion is not ready to embrace a 24 hour culture, I do believe downtown is definately headed in that direction and has been headed that way for a while now.

    It sure didn't take long for this topic to fizzle....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    I was downtown well after the game and I'm still sure that I saw lots of people...

    It seems that a lot of the places downtown are picking up steam and momentum on the weekends...

    It's dead at 9pm on Fridays and Saturday anyway, so am not sure why that would be necessary ?

    make up your mind. So you are saying that downtown isn't struggling now. I take it based upon your post that downtown is rocking. Are you from a village ? Where is the city heading to Austin or on a trail ride ? I thought everyone was heading to Midtown... You haven't seen anything yet downtown.

    Why do you feel like it has to have a condo building anyway ? the galleria doesn't have a condo building connected to it. The pavilions is probably one of the largest high end retail projects/malls that this town has seen (actually going up/ not just announced) in a long time. I see Bayou Place as an alternative project with good concepts like Rocbar (sp.) . With more places to go and things to do that will be a a good situation for downtown to have and offer people, and with each on 2 different sides of downtown. Well as far as the new office building above Pavilions being neat...maybe it isn't neat to you, but it is going to be brand new and that in of itself might be very desirable to companies. You tell us what are you missing ? What is so great about glorified air-space anyway to you on a personal level ? I believe that the condos that you are talking about were going to be rental units anyway ? Eventually, it will be good to hear about more and more things to do instead of complaining about less. Sorry, but i don't get how having more to do downtown is a bad thing for you anyway.

    Yes, I believe that is correct.

    The Whole Foods on Westheimer in West Houston as mentioned prev. has been there for 7-10 + years. It seems to be a pretty ordinary flag-ship whole foods from what i can tell. It's not terribly busy and the area is great. The HEB in that area also on westheimer gets considerably more business . I would imagine the same would occur with Central Market getting the most business if there was a whole foods in the same area . i can see a small Whole Foods diving in to that area, but can't see a big one taking the Nestea Plunge. i think it would be a big mistake with Central Market which is a very nice store being in the area already catering to that high-end consumer and clustered in between River Oaks and the Galleria neighborhoods. i think at a S.Felipe/ p.oak location there would be less high end consumers they will have to draw from off in terms of the demograpics. i bet the the incomes are probably higher in the River Oaks area as well. It is probably the river oaks crowd that drove a lot of the biz at whole foods on s. shephard. I also heard Eatzi's was locked out of their space at p.oak/san felipe and that casts a cloud because it was smaller, but the same ? I think that whole foods would do far better positioning itself along 59/ South Rice and trying to catch Bellaire's business because Bellaire desparately needs more grocery stores like these.

    it sure sounds like just more out of that bag of tricks that those urban-realtor-men use to try and create interest. my favorite though has to be the cute coming soon banners...i don't think anyone has told them that nobody believes them.

    I really can't think of much in Atlanta that is mixed use ??? Atlanta seems like it has a lot of condo-buildings. i will tell you an odd thing that i noticed about atlanta. it seemed to have a lot of sex-toys-shops everywhere in the buck-head area and they just kind of blended in...even close to nice neighborhoods.

    i take your advice seriously and will not do this. thanks for being honest. LOL

    Is this the tamal or tamale thread. please clarify ? are they the same thing ?? i am afraid to mention the word Tex-Mex as in food. there is no telling how confusing it would become discussing the pronunciation of words like Chimy-changa ? what's this topic about again anyway ?
