I hope that nasty concrete furniture in the lobby is the first to go. Wonder what the price per/sf would be? 150 maybe?

Heights Marketplace: Retail Center At 428-516 W. 19th St.
west20th replied to HeightsGuy's topic in The Heights
I wonder if this would be feasable for McCain's Market. Make a Caninos run in the AM and set up a produce and flower section in the front, like those markets in NYC. That is assuming they aren't planning on tables out front.- 29 replies

west20th replied to HeightsGuy's topic in The Heights
Yes they should do well. They need to expand their hours and prepared foods. They will have to establish a lunch trade to survive. Can't wait to check out the new Thai Spice. I'll give them a few weeks to work out their opening day bugs out.- 29 replies

National Biscuit Company At 2450 Holcombe Blvd.
west20th replied to Ashikaga's topic in Historic Houston
Spam: Ingredients: Chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added. Salt (for binding, flavour, and firmness) Water (to help in mixing) Sugar (for flavour) Sodium Nitrite (for colour and as a preservative) Nothing nasty about the Spam ingredients. I like it too. Fried w/eggs. Yum. Here are some Spam haikus in honor of the pink meat (authors unknown). "Slow down," she whispered now guiding my trembling hands "Turn the key slowly." Silken pig tofu The color of spanked buttocks Blushing at my knife. -

That is great news. Thai Spice is really good. There lunch buffet is excellent, costs a little more but well worth it.- 29 replies

Typical Heights retail hours. At least they are open 'til 8 on weeknights. Can't wait to stop by and check them out.

GreenStreet: Mixed-Use Development At 1201 Fannin St.
west20th replied to MontroseNeighborhoodCafe's topic in Downtown
Yes. Right after his last big hit. Montego Bay. Sorry. Couldn't resist. -
Rog is great. Gives us old guys some hope. But at 18 mil a year I think the 'stros would be be better off spreading that money around for some more hitting.

NMain. Are they going to take the whole strip center?
-
I'll be there quite often for the convenience alone. I'm hoping they have better hours (open to 9 maybe?). Driving through the traffic nightmare of Weslayan & Westheimer pretty much keeps me away from CM even though I really like the store. I won't even mind parking on the street and walking a ways. Parking will be tight there but the exercise won't hurt and it will probably still be a shorter walk than at the CM parking lot.
-
Thanks for the info. I'll stop by SF to see if I can find the mag. I did some Google searches on McCain's Market but no hits. Must be the first one, not a chain. Sounds like a mini Eatzi's. Really exciting news.
-
Crickets is a great place. Great gelato. Great coffee. The hours aren't so great though. Would love to stop there for a coffee after work but I think they close at 6. Most (all?) of the shops on 19th have very inconvenient hours for the working person. That sounds great. Exactly the kind of place the Heights needs. Can't wait 'til they open. Does the local Heights magazine you mentioned have an Internet link?
-
There is a new building next to it. It's huge and quite nice. Probably slated for offices. Anyway, it definitely isn't a tear-down. The other building (fronting on 6th) is quite nice but seems to be under-utilized. Hope it doesn't become a parking lot.

And the vegetable soup that comes with most meals is better than Mom used to make (similar though) and Mom was Slovack. Go figure. Great burgers. Finding them when they are open can be a challenge though. Love going there for lunch on Saturday. Lucky Burger, while not as good as Langfords, has a really good burger also.

Kaplan's Ben-Hur Department Store At 2129 Yale St.
west20th replied to Heights2Bastrop's topic in Historic Houston
True. I've always heard that the Heights association ran off Starbucks. I see their point that the chains may ruin the "charm" of the area but what is worse a Starbucks or empty storefronts?- 37 replies

Kaplan's Ben-Hur Department Store At 2129 Yale St.
west20th replied to Heights2Bastrop's topic in Historic Houston
That is awful news. The store was one of a kind. Walking in that place was like walking into a JCPenney's with my granmother in the '60's. The Heights is a great place but we seem to have trouble with getting retail into the area.- 37 replies

La Luz Del Mundo Houston Central Church At 8312 Eastex Fwy.
west20th replied to Hunter's topic in Holy Places
I saw it this weekend. I couldn't decide if I liked it or if it was "almost oppulent tacky". It certainly is a head-turner. Guess I'd have to see it a few more times. Can't wait to see the inside though. -
They looked yummy but that is hardly stop the presses kind of stuff. Besides the Italian Ice was a much bigger story, beyond awesome. I have to admit the Chronicle does seem to be lazy w/o any competition.

Good question. If the Texans knew they wouldn't suck so bad and they'd be winning.

Sharpstown Mall/PlazAmericas At 7500 Bellaire Blvd.
west20th replied to swzine's topic in Other Houston Neighborhoods
Westwood and Sharpstown were similar in situation to Town and Country and Memorial. Too close together. One of them had to go. Unfortunately, Sharpstown hasn't been upgraded like Memorial has.- 255 replies
