well dang good for uchi then but that sucks as that was a cool little hangout spot!

I understand that...but dang this place seems to alwayyyyyyyyyyyyyyys be busy and the cars pulling in and out often seem to wreck havoc in regards to traffic on montrose...so the expansion and more parking would be warranted for sure! 

1505 was knocked down last week and in 2 words... THANK GOODNESS!!! haha! 

It's nice that you don't have to use your card anymore to get the automatic savings... 

Randall's San Felipe is doing just fine and still go there a couple to few times a week! 

yeah i am curious about that too @clutchcity94! 

Honestly i cannot believe it has been sitting there vacant or unused for so dang long!!! 

Hey for those that go to Buffalo Bayou along Allen Parkway and park a car: Beware of car break-ins.

Yesterday i was on my bike ride and noticed the areas that you can park that face the trees and not the park where the volleyball court etc, there was tons of broken glass...I saw no less that 6 spaces that had shattered glass and oddly enough new cars were parked there knowing that cars are being broken into. So to clarify the location, if i am on the bikepath along Buffalo Bayou heading east towards downtown on Allen Parkway just before the large park with the volleyball court on my left, there are lots of spaces to park that face the slightly secluded rose bush rest area and trees etc and that is where these crimes happen. I am betting when i ride by today all the glass will still be there...maybe more from the new cars that continue to park there. While parking is limited, if i got out of my car to tons of broken glass, i would think twice before parking there...but whatever 🤔

Just fyi...

man that lower building still looks like a stack of tupperware but from Urban Outfitters...  everytime i pass by it on my bike i can't help but stare at it...🤔

yes i noticed that as well this weekend @Luminare!!! We went to Velvet Taco on sunday and wow the market was bustling like i have never seen before!!! so awesome and agree on hoping for a new place once this land begins building.

I did go to Via Colori this weekend and it was pretty fun! Not as big of a turnout as i expected but seriously always love going to Post HTX now! The Post Market food hall was alive and kicking with LOTS of people...so that was good...when friends and i go,  I tend to get the something called The Basic here which is far from that:

and my buddy i go with often goes here, especially for the crab rolls:

anyway, as i have said before, it is always fun to go to Post HTX and will keep watching for cool events!

wow that's awesome to hear @JBTX !!! well, i will be there this saturday for the chalk event so i hope to see something similar!!! 

they definitely need to make more use of the rooftop garden...add a bar and refreshment stand and then have more live music regularly at the little kooky stage they have up on the north east side of the roof! 

ps: we got pizza in da house!

well guess what...i went to get my bike serviced and lo and behold Dick's Sporting Goods said for now they are NOT moving so we cannot consider the Meyerland store a relocation..

wow...totally different story that what i got from the original guy i spoke to in the bike department months ago...i wonder what is up with this plaza...anyone have the latest? 

I mean the cyclist that ride on the street will be going through them! i can maybe pretend that i am one of those people at least once haha! 😛

i have missed the montrose location of Chocolate Bar but they are relocating, renaming and renovating their concept...for this new location anyway... and i for one, cannot wait!!!

If I'm being honest I called and they seemed confused but they said they weren't moving. That wouldn't make any sense lol

Haha exactly and they DID realize how dumb their original post was!!! They posted this just now on their story after they posted the new post:

Wow!

Haha I almost feel like they saw my post or someone alerted them to it! There is now a new post that says they are moving their PAGE!!! They took down the post from earlier saying they are MOVING and put up a new post at 820pm tonight saying they are moving their page… ?! very strange 

I wonder if Casa Dani is taking over the space for Joey Uptown!? I just saw a JoeyUptown instagram post saying they are MOVING! It doesn't give any details...but wowsa they didn't last long at that location! 

i know right!? haha sorry! I only say it when it's related to the subject 😛 but yes guilty of being his biggest cheerleader and fan too 😛

regarding HOB, my best friend has played the main stage so many times that i just have good memories of both the venue and the restaurant where we got to eat free when they had a show haha! and honestly the gospel brunch was fun in my opinion...but anyway...

yeah even Guadalajara was closed! doh! i always default to tex mex when able 🤪so i would have gone there for sure but nope, they are closed on sunday's as well!

but love Phoenicia since it opened to this day but they close at 6pm on sundays so we even were a little too late for that darnit! 

anyway...Greenstreet get your act together! haha

well dang the pandemic destroyed this development in my opinion... (despite it already being a failure to some standards)

went to see the amazing band Forester last night at HOB Peacock Room and most restaurants were shuttered or closed including House Of Blues main restaurant as apparently they are no longer open on Sundays (which their gospel brunch used to be a popular staple...)

I had a hard time trying to find a close by place to eat around 5pm so i went to the former Lucky Strike bowling alley that was "luxury" bowling complete with dress code etc...and now it is called 818 Bowling and man oh man...let's just say it's devolved... 45 min wait for subpar fried food no less (yes i ate horribly but to be honest nothing else appealed to me much) and the staff was just hanging out and eating openly at the bar as well...then it just looked a little run down and dang they play their music waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy too loud to enjoy any conversation in the bar/restaurant. BUT they did brag about most everything on their menu is 10 to 15 dollars and that bowling is only 10 dollars per hour...so hey if you are looking for the Dollar Store version of Pinstripes then this is your place! ;) 

but again, sad to see that this development has never really taken off or lands the right mix of businesses...

Regine's Mediterranean Restaurant that is taking over the old Tasting Room is now completely hollowed out...beginning late april, early may they will begin the build out. 

and in more Rocambolesc news, one of my best friends works as a bartender at Mad and says they serve their gelato there and it's amazing so he has me even more excited about this place!
