  1. wait. a cheesesteak place is being replaced by someone named Hoagland? That can't be right.
  2. That's standard-issue artist blurb and is really just about the art they're using not the (bar?) itself.
  3. Awful. How much money is this funeral house making that this was worth it to them??
  4. To put a finer point on it, the church needs parking *exactly* when it's most available downtown. No one is at work. No one is out clubbing or bar hopping or seeing a show or whatever. Acres of available parking surround this church.
  5. Blech. He's complaining about them charging for professional photoshoots and making it sound like anyone who takes a photo with their phone will be fined.
  6. I like these quick turnaround reuses of mediocre buildings. This is great, and it wont be a surface lot or something for years waiting for something theoretically better.
  7. My wife used to live in the Rice (other side of downtown, but if anything more active). Noise was not an issue.
  8. The strings would be pretty minimal for interior changes. The main thing it would add is time.
  9. It's a cute little house, but I just can't understand the knee-jerk anti-apartment response. Apartments are good! More neighbors are good!
  10. I feel pretty confident that diagram is just two circles with little or no overlap. I'm sure there's someone somewhere who wants to get rid of parking requirements but objects to road diets, but that person is not (in my experience) representative of anything but themselves.
  11. If there were something in that blank ground floor corner (like a little shop) that would help.
  12. I have no idea what's going on in that top photo/who that is, but... I hate it.
  13. Oh man those 1 bedrooms are rough. ...legalize point access blocks!!!
  14. They do have a certain "fake brand created for a TV show" vibe to them.
  15. There's some real potential in downtown Rosenberg, and a (even just daily) train stop could help spur something interesting.
  16. Admittedly what I *actually* think is that most Houston parking lots, spaces, and lanes are oversized. Though I never had a problem parking a Focus hatchback (the correct size for a car) in this lot.
  17. If you think that parking lot has narrow spaces and narrow lanes then that says more about what kind of oversized car you drive then it does about the (perfectly normal) parking lot.
  18. I had to park at the Medical Center a couple weeks ago and it was cheap enough that I didn't notice the price (so cheaper than downtown at least).
  19. Eh, Bravery is also doing fine. Both Post and Bravery have a higher quality tenant list *and* Post is distinctive enough to serve as its own draw. There's a ton of parking so people use it, but I actually don't think that's really the reason it's overall doing well.
  20. I think Common Bond clearly overexpanded, but this one is a shame because this location was unique. I really think if they moved to better hours/open on the weekends they could have done better.
  21. No one who had anything to do with that bike rack has ever ridden a bike.
