Just saw this on NextDoor regarding the same topic: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/houstonchronicle/name/maurice-eskowitz-obituary?id=20115222

I took this photo of the east façade this afternoon. I can’t read the name of the pharmacy. Does anyone know the name and when this pharmacy closed?

Lots of construction activity today: Here's the trailer across the street on the superblock where construction is being staged:

Lazy people make me . Gas prices go up -> Houstonians drive less -> Houstononians walk more -> Houstonians lose weight -> Houston stops winning "Fattest City" awards. Yay!

Demolition just started. I'm watching it through my window in the HCC building. It'll probably be a pile of rubble by the time I get back from lunch. As for the comment on the "failed" attempt at retail space in the ground level of the HCC garage, it may not have worked as retail but HCC is making a killing leasing it to St. Luke's hospital as a large call center.

In the last few days they have begun removing the old "Eckerd's" signs from 1102 Yale (@ 11th St.) and you can see the original facade of Ivy-Russell Ford. I'm not sure if they're gonna demo, but there's definitely something going on.
