  1. Little Rey looks ready to open anytime...it looks really nice inside (and love the big patio) and for now they have a fence surround but again, with hanging plants and lighting and people all buzzing around inside, i am betting a very soon spring opening!
  2. is it wrong to hate that this isn't something more than just a dang dental office? :( wish it was something more people would be able to frequent in such a desirable location
  3. yeah always wondered the same although they definitely made it look better when the Post Oak Blvd transformation happened. it sits out of place on a street that has so much grand scale development (apart from the mcdonalds ;) ) and don't even get me started on Post Oak Corner ;) i will say that i know of a restauranteur that wanted to take over the long abandoned bank building at the edge of Post Oak Corner but they turned him down for a 10 year lease...so not sure what in the heck is going on with that darn thing!
  4. I agree that the plaza looks amazing! and hey are you speaking of the blue tiles above Local Foods as shown above? they spent like 2 weeks putting those tiles up! what i want to know is if they are really keeping the turquois on the metal as i hate it haha! it doesn't look as bad in this photo but in real life, but in person, to me, it looks unfinished. we shall see! Right now they are finishing up the wood slats panels over the large outdoor/patio area. The inside looks finished from what I can tell!
  5. good lord i had to go back and see when this was announced...so it has taken 4 years for this place to open!!!??? that dang Something About Her Sandwich shop will open before this!!!! (IYKYK ðŸĪŠ)
  6. yeah...don't get me wrong either...i love the older buildings so changing this (and lower westheimer) will make my heart kinda hurt to be honest as i miss the montrose of old (80's/90's) i am just so darn confused about how SW's stays afloat!? haha! Is it way busier than i can ever tell?
  7. update since i can't edit above... was able to get a look inside both Rakkan Ramen and Tacodeli and still a while to go before any substantial work is done so those won't be until summer is my guess...but Local Foods is nearing completion with an all new facade being worked on while i type....i am guessing this may have a May opening, maybe sooner!
  8. Hey, seeing all this development, how in the heck is Slick Willy's still around? It is such a LooOOoooOoOooong time staple of Montrose so there is that of course...but from what i can tell it never seems to be as busy as it was back in the 90s early 2000's... I wonder if it will ever be upgraded or change hands etc...
  9. ps... after reading this: https://www.hotelnewsresource.com/article130443.html if i didn't know any better i would think that The Post Oak Hotel and River Oaks District were next door to each other! which gave me an idea... so he buys Post Oak Corner, builds a giant observation tower (to FINALLY do something with that dang lot) and part of that huge high rise of a tower includes a luxury (of course) gondola that takes them down to ROD!!! ha! I will submit plans to his office this afternoon 😛
  10. I haven't been to Bambolino's since the 90's but used to like it...we always called it Pizza Prison because of the metal gate surrounding the place haha ðŸ‘Ū‍♂ïļðŸš“
  11. regarding the big parking lot, i guess they could use the space between the 2 to share parking and then expand Pistoleros to the right taking over that small lot in the long run right?
  12. Oh yeah!!!! forgot about that place but did buy some shirts and jackets there!
  13. heck yeah i do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes this whole little plaza was cool! my friends even bought a couch at Quatrine and i was so damn jealous because the couches there were like sitting on a cloud of marshmallows!!!! ha! dangit sometimes i hate change ;)
  14. wow didn't know that about Daphne!!! their hotels in austin really are my favorites especially Hotel St Celia... so just to have anything even remotely similar to that is exciting. thanks for the info as always!!! (and the always amazing photographs all over this forum!)
