    That area of Houston won't ever be pedestrian friendly. The clientele is too wealthy and the houses are too large and spread out. In the grand scheme of things, I think HAIFers should stop worrying about things being pedestrian friendly. 95% of Houston wont' ever be pedestrian friendly, and as long as developments are providing enough parking and offering attractive architecture, I don't think there is more you can ask for. Washington is never going to be ped friendly, Uptown will never be ped friendly, and Upper Kirby will never really be ped friendly. However, these are three of the most happening neighborhoods in town and they are interesting in their own way. The pipe dreams of taking the light rail (which probably won't happen on Richmond or Post Oak for at least another decade) to dinner or to go shopping need to disappear. I'm not trying to be a debbie downer, but that's just not what Houston is, and I for one actually like that.

    Yeah there's nothing pedestrian friendly about this. I doubt you'll see Tillman Fertita walking down River Oaks Blvd to go grab some Italian food. However, it will be more dense and ultimately more attractive to the eye. And in Houston, that's all that really matters...so I'm excited about it.

    That would be excellent for that part of Midtown.

    There is something going on in this lot. Not sure if it's related.

    I would think they want to finish by March 2011 in time for the Final Four.

    How is the business at Pete's? I would guess that place would be absolutely dead on a weeknight.

    Who will be the future retail tenants in this development? And when is that buildout supposed to happen?

    The renovations will start next week? If that's true, then this is great news. The southwest corridor of Midtown has really been overhauled over the last 12-18 months.

    What is frustrating is that I think there is a 90% chance we spend the next 5 years talking about this but nothing happens either way. It's almost like the Dynamo Stadium.

    I keep opening this thread just to laugh.

    Is there ANY nightlife neighborhood in Houston that this board likes? It's definitely not Midtown or Washington. I guess everyone here hangs out in the Village.
  12. roadrunner
    Completely forgot about that place.

    Now it needs a sports bar.

    Crosspoint is building out an old building a few blocks north on Louisiana in what looks to be a new Mexican restaurant. There is a sign for "Luby Tequila's". I went to the website and it looks like a small chain up in the panhandle. There is also a page for locations showing their future Midtown location. Nice addition to the area. It surprises me that El Patio has been the only Mexican food restaurant in Midtown for so long.

    threads aren't loading for me. I don't know where else to procrastinate

    Perbacco in the Penzoil Tower is a hidden gem. Really great, affordable italian food. They are always open and packed for lunch, and I believe they just started opening for dinner. It's a great place to go before or after a play.

    This surprises me because I am/was a member and it was always crowded. The building isn't in bad shape, but I have no idea what could possibly fill it now. Maybe a renovation would attract some commercial tenants, but there are much more attractive options in the area. I hope it doesn't sit vacant for years, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

    I haven't been by the site in weeks. Is construction in full swing?
  19. roadrunner
    Wait...what? What about my membership there? I never received any notice.

    You obviously did not play Sim City 2000.

    Does anyone else find it interesting that Starwood has no presence in downtown Houston?
  22. roadrunner
    Did we ever hear results out of the bid for the state funding tier upgrade?
  23. roadrunner
    It looks like Crosspoint is doing some remodeling to one of the older buildings a few blocks away, I think on Milam. This is one of those building that has had renderings up on the wall for a long time, so maybe they are going forward with them. The renderings make it look to be a restaurant or bar.

    Randall Davis is not a part of the Sonoma project anymore? Has the scale or plan changed?
  25. roadrunner
    Now there are even more equipment and bulldozers on site. Does anybody have some surprising good news?
