  1. The (now demolished) Hermann Hospital The Mirtha G. Dunn Interfaith Chapel was located at 6411 Fannin Street in the Texas Medical Center. The Mirtha G. Dunn Interfaith Chapel. Photograph/Rendering. Mirtha G. Dunn March 1, 1927 - December 14, 1967
  2. Construction update from today. The parking garage is rising on a slant.
  3. Demolition has started!! Just thinking about the land play here. 8.3 acres of land next to the freeway, and at the western edge of the Uptown Market. I could see a mixed-use district here. "Entrance to The Galleria". A walk around the building to remember it one last time. Do we know the architect? Possibly Kirksey? For Sale sign.
  4. I've driven past the Univision 45 Houston Broadcasting Station located at 5100 Southwest Freeway a thousand times. Never thought about stopping by and taking some pictures of the satellites. Photos from today.
  5. I called Tellepsen and they told me the building will be coming down. Just incredible! I assume this will become a surface parking lot. A tower will go here, but it will be a few years unfortunately. Like this surface lot across the street. Apparently has a ghosted tower from Page Southerland Page. A window was punched out for demolition purposes. Photo from yesterday.
  6. Random photo of Ra Sushi from CM's upstairs patio. Love the Easter/Spring street decorations! I see pastel eggs and bright flowers. My old boss designed the building. Al Osborn, of OVA.
  7. Did PinkBerry really close. For remodel or permanently? Street signage was removed recently. Hot commercial real estate! Too bad it's a small space. Maybe a Starbucks will replace it? Photo I took today.
  8. We have a buyer/tenant!! A TABC liquor application was posted to the building this past week. Botafogo Houston LLC, if I spelled that correctly. Cool looking building. Interesting to see how this (restaurant?) will remodel the building. I wonder if they will keep the (functional?) ornamental on the roof.
  9. I finally, naturally, came across that old office building on Richmond that has been for sale. Nobody is interested in the property it seems. It has been on the market for years. Probably too small of a parcel to do anything with? It's 0.20-acres. Loopnet listing: https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/3772-Richmond-Ave-Houston-TX/30275565/ The pictures I took today: Partners Real Estate is listing this.
  10. I was wondering what the new CenterPoint Energy Texas Medical Center Substation will look like. I thought I would stop at the CenterPoint property off Westpark Drive that's located on Newcastle Drive in Bellaire. I believe there are different uses for both sides of the street? On one side you have the actual power plant, and the other is used for communication/power towers? What are these weird objects?
  11. This is really cool! I also saw on TLDR this week that where is a trail system for the Meyergrove detention center. It's going to be park land with trails? I thought it was just a sunken hole to fill with excess flood water. Pictures from today.
  12. Freeway shut down this weekend. Traffic wasn't too bad honestly.
  13. Has anyone tried the new Saint Arnold Citrus Shandy? Beer description from SA's website: https://www.saintarnold.com/citrus-shandy/ Our Citrus Shandy is a pale lager mixed with a lemonade and grapefruit soda. The aroma presents itself with a citrus burst of lemon and grapefruit, with a slight floral note. Flavors of lemon and grapefruit play perfectly with the subtle notes of a light, refreshing beer. It's crazy good! Tastes like a carbonated, alcoholic Sprite. The beer is low in ABV, clocking in at 4.5% ABV. I was hoping that would mean lower calories, but if the beer is made from soda, it would have a high sugar and calorie count. This beer would be perfect in the Houston summers! Walking around a park or by the poolside. Maybe at TMC Helix Park! Their pic: My pic:
  14. The Houston Methodist Centennial Tower sure is becoming imposing at street level. It's just massive. You would think this is an office skyscraper but it's a hospital.
