  1. Cool. Let me know what you think because I never got the 'before' experience and I'm curious to see if the grand re-opening really was an improvement or just a marketing ploy.
  2. Are you basing this on recent findings? I ask as it sounds like the quality of food (including produce, of course) is what they aimed to improve upon as part of this grand re-opening. Things might have changed. I don't have enough experience with Specs/Rice Ep. to say anything about them but I can say that I thought the produce at Randall's looked pretty good to me--a person with a suburban HEB background.
  3. Compared to what store? I read about the high prices before moving into the area so I also checked out the Kroger on West Gray and found that on some of the staples (milk and bread) they were about the same. Is there a significantly lower priced grocery store nearby?
  4. "Join us at the grand re-opening of your Houston Randalls...Saturday January 26th" Sure doesn't sound like a business with any plans of going away. I've moved to the area recently and shopped there a couple of times and, I gotta say, I don't see what the fuss is all about...it seemed fine to me.
  5. It sounds like the SoDo nonsense has been dropped. Did the diner ever open?
  6. Say Randall's closes and other grocery stores won't touch the location, what would be the next best thing?
  7. What's the trend over time?
  8. I got a job downtown and I am now trying to get away from the suburb commute asap. I've checked out the Heights, Midtown, and now I'm checking out Downtown. I love the idea of walking to work and, admittedly, I'm kinda embarrassed that it took me so long to look into DT.Anyway, there is a loft on St. Germain that fits within my price range without a really high maintenance fee. Is St. Germain a good place to be? Are the walls too thin? Is the 4th level a bad level (the one I'm interested in is at that level but so are most of the available units)? Any unusual reason for the "market adjustments" that have caused the reduced prices of many of the lofts there? Any thoughts, really, that would help in considering st. germain? Is DT still an up and coming place or is it fading (I hear both sides on this forum)? I know there was a thread on st. germain but it was awhile back so I'm hoping to get the latest views. I also don't expect every question answered but any new information definitely helps so...thanks!
