    awesome! what a kooky little spot for a stand alone restaurant...as i loved that whole grassy area with chairs etc for everyone and always thought it was cool to see people out there enjoying that whole space... but love that whole development/area...do you work at Park Place?

    The fact that they are saying this will be a more conventional and casual restaurant has me hopeful...this is the first article that had me interested: https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/hot-houston-bar-and-restaurant-group-snatches-up-prime-galleria-area-location-for-new-casual-american-lodge/

    Maybe a Virgin Hotel would be cool? https://virginhotels.com/dallas/ or Maybe an Edition Hotel by Marriott? I love the one in NYC/Times Square! https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/nycte-the-times-square-edition/photos/

    spoke to the Pot Belly location at Rice Village and they said the Pot Belly at the Galleria is permanently closed and they are not sure why there has been that sign there saying temporarily closed... Maybe Sugar Factory Express should expand there to make a full Sugar Factory... also Chili's is closed and all walled up...any ideas or rumors going around about what will go there?

    NEW article about Balboa: https://houston.eater.com/2023/1/18/23560582/new-seafood-restaurant-houston i can't believe they expect a spring opening...they must be doing alot more work in there than i can tell when driving by... good for them though!

    well dang... i have been going to Griffs for about 26 years...in fact this is one of the first handful of places my best friend and his band Blue October played...i have an awesome photo of all of us from their first Griff's St Patrick's show they played there in maybe 97? They were known for their HUGE St Patrick's Day Parties/Events and it was always a blast! (photo below)... and this was the place that we hung out at all the time in general...especially back in the day...and even once all the band members moved to austin and san marcos, every Christmas night since everyone was in town, we would all meet here and hang out with the cool staff (especially Prairie!)... In the past couple of years the new owners really let the place go...so this is very interesting...and sad...RIP Griff's and just glad no one got hurt. (pictured: Jeremy (drummer), Ryan (violinist), Me, Liz (bassist), Justin (lead singer/best friend), Brett (Ryan's brother). and this is us now! ...well the members now anyway as Matt took Liz's place and he is my other best friend of 24 years :) ) (Jeremy, Matt, Me, Justin, Ryan)

    I LOVE that they love Montrose so much! While it was cool to have that little "hole in the wall" location, i congratulate them on their new location due to so much success! 👏

    i went to the grand opening of the one in montrose and got a free salad that was really good but never went back...i am sure i will go check this one out upon opening...maybe i will feel the same!

    The old Pot Belly Sandwiches across from M&S is going to be a Sweetgreen. There have been workers there nonstop for a few weeks now...(with all windows covered in Sweetgreen banners) I am not sure this is needed with Flower Child and Medocino being in the plaza and offering salads and more but hey at least it is new healthy alternative in the area...

    according to the top rendering it seems the parking lot faces the grassy knoll and just past that the mountain/volcano

    i HATE that name and it irritates me haha 😖
  21. gene
    i kept asking about the statue, the art, the walls, the everything haha 🤪

    wondered the same thing, as i cannot imagine that gas station and tiny strip plaza lasting much longer with all the changes happening at that intersection in the coming years!

    i always thought of him as the liberace of houston 🤪

    exciting for Montrose and Houston for sure!!! this has been a long time coming...i truly hope they keep some art installations or make room to have some kind of rotating art in the medians or "something" to keep the Montrose of old alive 🙂
