    Not sure if this comment has already been replied to. But the likely reason there was never exit and on ramps at Yale was that at the time of Interstate 10 construction there was a railroad industrial spur that paralleled Yale into the west side of the Heights. The old remnants of a RR bridge can be evidenced at Yale and 10. It is also the likely reason for no thru service roads between Studemont and Taylor and at TC Jester.

    Some people on this thread might be shocked or surprised that LQ has had a NYC-Manhattan for four or more years - and priced accordingly at $250+. LQ is hardly a down-market chain like some suggest, many locations are nicer than the adjacent Marriott Courtyard and generally cheaper.

    Work has begun on the backside of Allen House - closest to the W gray Kroger. Large drainage pipes are being laid in the former parking area.

    Surprised I'm the first to post this revelation (at least I think I am), but the Allen House is slated to be re-developed. Notices were on the doors of 3535 and 3505 Dallas and 3601 Allen Pkwy. June 1 closing. Mixed used development planned...kind of explains all of the recent structure torn down in the area. Surely the Chronicle will be on this news. As for me, well its been home for a bunch of years...

    According to the Chronicle, this site will not be apartments but ...The Aga Khan Foundation purchased just over 11 acres at the corner of Montrose and Allen Parkway to build a Muslim Ismaili center. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/busine...ff/4344879.html

    I would prefer that they renovate the low-rise modernist building that already occupies this tract and raze the old hard rock for amenities. That said, it is certainly one of the nicer designs of the current high-rise building boom. Still begs the question: Who the heck is buying all of these $$$ condos?
