  1. Okay, Little Dipper (new bar from Poison Girl people) is now open in the former Cava Bistro space (the second one, next door to the former Cielo Mexican Bistro/Pete's Dancing Marlin space). Dean's Credit Clothing has re-opened and has a cocktail list and a good beer list. In the last year, we've got: Clutch City Squire OKRA Pastry War Goro & Gun Little Dipper Batanga Fusion Taco Barnaby's Brewery Incubator and Dean's closed and reopened.
  2. What else has Tycer got his fingers in? Kraftsmen, and what else? I will be glad when the Tycer scourge is gone from Houston.
  3. The cookie smell seems to crank out of another building on the property, this one with the vents: https://maps.google.com/?ll=29.741317,-95.373484&spn=0.002087,0.004128&t=m&z=19&layer=c&cbll=29.741243,-95.373541&panoid=y2JPftN7sk9jAIqVea62yw&cbp=12,346.73,,0,3.45
  4. Yep, fortune cookie factory, Wonton Food Corp at Caroline and Anita. Very noticeable if you go to 13 Celsius wine bar across the street. There's another fortune cookie factory that you can smell at Dunlavy and Fairview.
  5. I would honestly rather move forward with Keenum even if there ends up being some cases where inexperience at NFL level causes him to make a mistake, because Schaub is just too predictable now. There will be ups and downs with a young guy, but Schaub seems more like certain doom.
  6. Easy decision. He demonstrated that he can throw deep and accurate, and that he's capable of scrambling when he needs to. That makes him a lot less predictable. Time to move on from Schaub.
  7. Why do you keep using the word 'concern'? What's worth keeping about Randall's? Randall's has been surpassed in quality by various stores, and has always been expensive.
  8. Samuel L. Jackson has released a statement in response to the news that Randall's is struggling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMGMZsKXz94#t=0m25s
  9. A nice HEB is higher quality, more fresh store-made foods, and way way cheaper than Randall's. Randall's is rightly going the way of the Dodo.
  10. Schaub's longest throw of the season is 32 yards, the worst of any starting QB in the NFL. Schaub has no mobility and is never a threat to run it himself. Even older guys like Drew Brees can run for a first down when they can't find a target. The teams the Texans play against know that Schaub will either hand it off or make a pass that's 30 yards or less. It allows them to camp out on his routes and pick off some interceptions.
  11. If Wendy's was renting from a landlord then maybe they were pushed out by rising rents. If McDonald's franchise owner owns their property then they're not paying rent and can stay as long as they want provided they pay their taxes, regardless of what's appropriate for the area. There's plenty of factors we don't know.
  12. Yeah I looked at them. The 1 bed plus den corner units seemed like a good size and sweet patios, but $$$ especially after the renovation. Edit: Looks like they renovated out the dens to put in a dining room and they go for $1675+ now.
  13. 293 feet. http://www.emporis.com/building/houston-house-apartments-houston-tx-usa
  14. You said you doubt you'll ever go because of the policy. The policy has no effect on you because it only prohibits children during a time you wouldn't take them anyway.
  15. Well then, I don't see why you wouldn't go to the restaurant as the policy only applies after 7 PM.
  16. They've added the blocks back on to the corners, and now a primer gray coat on most of the building.
  17. Third Floor Bar has opened above Pub Fiction.
  18. Boheme has draft and craft, fairly decent selection, mostly on that back patio bar.
  19. Combination convenience store and deli has been working in Houston House ground level for years now.
  20. I hate carrying cash and only do so if it's a cash only business.
  21. Yeah, it's $10 I think. Just a PITA if you only want one drink before continuing somewhere else. Same thing at Leon's, which is too bad because Leon's is often on the way to somewhere else I'm going.
