always wondered about that place as well as i too get mine from Central Market and on rare occasions from Whole Foods on Post Oak since i can walk there.
i started a thing with friends during covid called Fresh Flower Fridays where every friday i would get flowers for my condo and post them on social media just to make myself feel happy during covid haha...and it spread with other friends posting theirs as well!
now it's more like Fresh Flowers Whenever Mine Die Day...but whatever ;)

such a relief (ha!) to see the progress finally on this dang development...
now can we get these last 3 things:
1) pf changs back in that location instead of the dumb new office building location
2) those cool stores or better next to Ra so it doesn't look like a ghost town
3) a bridge that allows you to walk or ride a bike over the railroad tracks or better yet just raise the tracks of the train to got over Westheimer (and Richmond too while we are at it)
thanks in advance 🤪

yikes! that is way worse than i imagined!

The Rakkan Ramen and Tacodeli signage is now up!
I am guessing both will be open this spring!
(and ps...while no signage is up, they are working on the facade and patio of Local Foods so i am betting on a spring opening there as well!)

Oh nice a Uniqlo in Houston!
i know! honestly i was so excited when they were going to take over the old 2 story Topman/Topshop in the Galleria...but covid i think made them pull out of that deal...but hey at least we are getting one still!
(still sad Topman closed and went online only..well except at Nordstrom but the selection is minute to say the least...)

Every time I go to POST they have a decent crowd eating there. Good news!
You should go saturday (if the rain isnt too bad 😥☔ ) as it is coffee and cars 9am to 11am and the market from 11am to 7pm! I go often and yes it always is buzzing...they just need to keep adding more to fill the building up with more shops or things to do (which will come in time i know).
(and now they have a micro Retail Village that just opened up with a handful of vendors and growing!

The Galleria was supposed to get this 2 story shop but now it will be taking over the 2 story Forever 21 spot at Memorial City Mall

Goode Company needs to take over this place as i think it would be super successful OR have Pappas come back in but with Pappasitos! Both would be amazing choices in my opinion

I recently had a friend come stay who has been living abroad and was so excited to see these things at Post haha...i had no idea what they were but apparently they were a big deal (to some anyway.. ;) )

Follow the money. Tilman was a big Whitmire supporter. He's got lots of interests downtown that could suffer with a bigger and better Post.
I am not sure how...
His crappy aquarium and restaurant is practically across the street from Post!

hey, has anyone been to the theater lately to see if any remodel work has been started on the theaters or lobby yet?
-
It is really coming along...so good to see that the building is really happening and getting close to completion...my guess is a summer to early fall opening? now can we get some cool businesses to fill up the empty Ra end of the plaza and get a good restaurant where PF Chang's use to be.
THEN lets talk about elevating the train tracks 🙃

maybe this would be a good location for Common Bond as i have had conversations with the owner a few times who hopes to bring one to the galleria/uptown area soon.

the funny part is that it WAS a cool fun place to go, but the food and service were subpar so i never really went after the initial opening period...
it is a cool venue so maybe something else worthy will come along.

I look back to that time and realize how lucky we were to live in Houston then...truly loved Houston and that area. It's a HUGE part of my childhood to adulthood.... really miss those days for sure!

What a novel (pardon the pun) idea - a bookstore in an old movie theater. Actually, that should be something very welcome in the Montrose as long as it was not just another Barnes & Noble. It doesn't have to be only new, commercially popular books. I suggest a specialty bookstore like those mentioned in this thread:
it already happened as you probably know when the Alabama Theater on Shepherd became The Alabama Bookstop then Trader Joes. I miss The Bookstop!!!!!!!!!!

I love Post HTX and the location...
i tend to go once a week or so...in fact i am taking my buddy that is visiting from New Zealand tonight upon his arrival to get some food! (and will be there saturday for coffee and cars). I definitely think there is room (and a need) for this new project! and yeah i had never heard of Ace Hotels but wowsa totally looks up my alley for cool hotels that i like to stay in!

I go down Taft often and hardly ever saw cars at Cowboys and Indians so in my eyes it failed here and moved to a better location with better traffic which has helped it thrive. More eyes equal better location. As the commercial retail mantra always says, "location, location" it can make or break a business. This was a bad location for them so they moved. I think a little local coffee shop like Mercantile on Stanford and Hawthorne would thrive here.
you are right about that! I always LOVED Lil Bigs at the now Burger Joint location...it was always packed!!! them moving was the worst decision they ever made! may they r.i.p.

i always thought that was so weird that they designed the new sign to be smaller than the old one so you could still see remnants of Present Company.
this place was amazing as Royal Oak and should have stayed Royal Oak dangit!

Hey all! Hope it is okay to once again announce my best friend Justin and his band Blue October (including my other best friend Matt, the bassist :) ) are coming back to 713 Music Hall at POST HTX! For now it is being announced as a standard 7-10pm show...
however there were rumors they were trying to make it another Houston's Music & Arts Festival / Blue Backs The Blue. Justin had hand picked the bands, the tattoo artist(s), barbers, food trucks and more all to support The Houston Police Officers Union "Assist The Officer"! The first one took place at White Oak Music Hall in 2019 where they took over the entire venue inside and out and was a huge sold out success! Due to covid the festival that was meant to be annual went on hiatus due to covid unfortunately...so we shall see if they can bring that back at this or another venue...and soon!
Anyway, Tickets go on presale this Friday 12/1/23! See ya there!!! Blue October's Website/ Link to tickets here
Event: MARCH 2nd 2024 at 713 Music Hall - Hometown Houston Show!
Hi it wont let me edit my post so just here to say Blue October has added a second show!!!
March 1st AND 2nd! :)

agreed....Nando's did an especially great job in creating a fun and standout design...really brings this plaza to life as i think i mentioned in my review...also, i mentioned their amazing Roasted Brussels Sprouts drizzled with PERi Ranch!!! OMG 🤤
also one note...regarding the huge space between Kenny & Ziggy's and Balboa Surf Club, while the facade of Arhaus is only like 70 percent finished, all the signage is up...which makes me ask...what in the heck is going into their old location!? please make it something useful...in fact i wish they would bring back Barnes & Noble there...

THANK GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is a huge eyesore now!!! thank you for the update @hindesky !
Chuy's Restaurant At 2706 Westheimer Rd.
in River Oaks/Upper Kirby/Greenway Plaza/Bissonnet
Posted
yeah back in the day Chuy's (late 80's and 90's) was THE place to go...it was in my mind the first cool Austin import and as much as i loved Austin this made me feel like Houston was cool (still and again ;) )
every time i go now (maybe like once a month or two) it always seems semi busy and definitely not the nonstop hustle and bustle it used to be....in fact this was the place my friends got a job at if they wanted to be guaranteed nonstop business and good tips. I think it was never about how great the food was (but how dare you talk bad about the green ranch dip stuff!!!), but instead it was more about the good prices, the fun and lively atmosphere, decor and music and the hella cool people that worked and frequented there!
I think you are probably right about this location one day being history but man what freaking fun memories i have thanks to this place!
