    Went on Friday. Food is excellent. Service is very friendly and hardworking, and it seemed to be fully staffed, but still working out the kinks, as one would expect for a soft open. . .lost tickets, etc. Will be a good addition to the 'hood once they find their groove on front/back of the house.

    I'll second that. . .

    Lots of moves in quick succession for Cooking Girl. They're taking the old Revival/Lagniappe space on Heights @ White Oak.

    Big blow to the 'hood. Sounds like she will be opening more of a retail storefront nearby. . . https://www.houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/restaurants-bars/article/Sonoma-in-the-Heights-wine-bar-to-close-June-26-17133472.php Sonoma in the Heights, the wine bar at 801 Studewood, will close on June 26 after 10 years of operation in the Heights neighborhood. Owner Farrah Cauley, who built three Sonoma Wine Bar concepts in Houston and Katy, said she was unable to continue her lease at the Heights location. Sonoma’s other locations at 2720 Richmond and 9920 Gaston Road in Katy are unaffected by this decision and will remain open. “This was not the outcome I had hoped for after several months of negotiations with the landlord, but I had to make this extremely tough and sad decision based on what my business can afford,” she said of Sonoma in the Heights. . . .

    There appears to be at least one new steel truss installed on the bridge.

    Good news, but too bad they couldn't have gotten it while they were doing the JW construction. I seem to recall media reports indicating that the hotel developers made offers but couldn't reach a deal. My own wild speculation is that they have some contingencies drawn up for back-of-the-house uses for it. Agree parking seems like an impossibility. If nothing else, a refresh of street-side face should be on the way, and long overdue.

    Finn is also directly across the street from the JW Marriott and the under-construction AC Marriott, and one block from the Club Quarters, to augment its dinner/bar business.

    Any guesses as to the "celebrated barbecue house reborn"???

    Whoa. Had seemed to be turning over tables okay the times that I've been in them recently. Might be some macro issues going on at the corporate level: http://swamplot.com/pi-pizza-starfish-lease-lockouts-hit-both-ends-of-the-heights-blvd-strip-by-the-bayou/2018-08-02/

    Dinner crowds will be supplemented by the JW Marriott directly across Rusk, and the under-construction AC Marriott directly across Main.

    You're building a brand new, "premium" RV park. You've got hundreds of acres of land in a pine forest. So, naturally, of course, you . . . clear cut and bulldoze the site. Not a piece of shade to be had. There weren't five or six pines on the site that wouldn't be in the way of your concrete pour or utilities trenching?? Crank up the rooftop a/c on your Jayco, brother, because you're going to need it come July. . .

    This new spot looks very close to opening in the Bedford/Stella Sola/Black & White space on Studewood: https://www.maisonpucha.com/story/ Shepard Ross (formerly Glass Wall, currently Pax Americana) is consulting with them.

    Does NRG still have a presence in the 1000 Main/former Reliant Energy Plaza that would be consolidated in One Shell?

    They do a nice job downtown (lamb keema taco FTW). Good add for the 'hood.

    Re: the Pi Pizza Truck story: kind of a buried lede that Lee Ellis and Lance Feagan have parted ways. . .

    "as well as a rooftop lap pool with a cantilevered, glass-bottom appendage, extending over the street 500 feet below. . ." nope nope nope nope nope. No thank you.

    Tower crane being assembled on site this afternoon.

    Not even close. And in the dry zone.

    There's a large hole being dug at the bend in the bayou between the HPD memorial and the skate park, on the south side of Memorial Drive. Any idea what is? (I apologize in advance, I know, this post is worthless w/o pics. . .)

    Three tower cranes across the street from one another. Does that make a total of five downtown now (?)(with Hilcorp and Marquis), and with at least three more on the way this year? (Skanska, Six Houston, Market Square) It's not pre-Olympics Beijing yet, but that's pretty darned impressive.

    Great shot. That's First Methodist several blocks away in the foreground. Gives a great perspective of the length of those screens.

    New sign up for the Boil House on the south side of 11th near Oxford.
