neat, but seemingly unrelated - these are replacements for the general fleet.

No I get it. I don't think "cheese and wine" is exactly the issue though - Light Years is a good example of a place that still feels like Montrose.
Montrose Cheese and Wine is borderline for me - it doesn't have *quite* enough personality.

The fact that bars are required to provide parking in most of the city is *also* completely insane.

Yeah, but gas stations typically sell *sealed* alcohol. Even if you're leaving by car, you're probably not drinking until later.

Yeah Montrose cheese and wine is pretty chill. I don't see the issue.
-
The dorky stickers seem like a very bad sign, but I'm also glad to see something like this going into this building.
-
Or not. It would make a great bar/icehouse.
-
Hmmm. Why did they bother to "keep" the building exactly?

I'm sure it's just for cost reasons. I *am* glad they're tucking the parking lots away so they mostly won't be visible from either Jensen or the bayou.

Good to know. Did it used to be filtered? I could have sworn it did.

One of the issues with tracking population change inside the loop is that the NE quarter has had huge amounts of population loss. The complete destruction of the Lyons Ave commercial corridor and hollowing out of Fifth Ward is still being felt, even as the west side densifies, the near east transforms from industrial to residential, Magnolia Park has remained stable, and Riverside/Riverside Terrace/Washington Terrace remain stable. Plus the core of Third Ward hasn't been *that* much better off than Fifth Ward.

As much as I dislike these parking podia, this is really of the less unattractive ones. It kinda works.
-
It's unfortunate, but this is probably the best neighborhood for this kind of nonsense.

It's a large lot, so I'm betting... 12 stories at the tallest.

No such thing as too much Mexican food, but this is specifically described as Tex-Mex. That could go either way. Could be a good sign they're going for something specific and local... or could be a very bad sign.
Or could just be decent Tex-Mex I suppose, which... seems fine? "So much more than" a Mexican restaurant kinda gets my hackles up.

This is extremely rad, and I second the appreciation for keeping the house.

Minor disappointment. La Rue is such a nice street; I hate that they're demoing most of what faces it, especially just for a few parking spots.

It looks like a student rendering to impart a general design and color scheme.

F@ck this place so hard.

hmmmm. These are pretty crappy renderings for an architecture firm.

Maybe just expand the Fifth Ward forum to include Near Northside and Denver Harbor.
The boundaries get blurry, and putting Meow Wolf and St Arnolds into Near Northside feels wrong to me.
-
By that same logic we should have a Washington Corridor forum, and yet...
-
It might be because it will be easier to make the turn onto Ennis from Blodgett than Wheeler:
Blodgett is already widened at that point and the lot at the NW corner is vacant. They can acquire vacant land to build the curve rather than encroaching onto (and probably acquiring outright) someone's house.

Hmmm, I'd like to see a close up of that migration chart, but it definitely looks like there a substantial area off the Texas coast that's devoid of migration paths.
