  1. Kind of like the one that houses Charivari, Dog House, Ponzo's, et al.?
  2. I was thinking that it would have to be early as well so that it doesn't disrupt any of the sermons. Would be nice to know the time so I can walk over and see it come down
  3. Will be a lunch time place - hours on the door read Mon - Fri 11 AM - 4 PM
  4. Not going to lie, I wouldn't like to see a giant advertisement on the Chase Tower trying to get me to buy the new LeBron shoes or a pair of Calvin Klein boxers... If we celebrated local artists that might be cool, but not Houston is not NYC or any other city and I kind of want to keep it that way and want it to find its own distinguishable identity
  5. wow...can anyone fully decide on what the true downtown market really is? It seem's like Byrd's didnt know who their target audience was and it seems like Georgia's is starting to fall into the same hole...I understand that there may not be as much foot traffic over there as opposed to over by Phoenicia but they really need to get some basic necessities for the resident's - which is one of the reasons I still go to Randall's over Georgia's or Phoenicia...
  6. This is going to be awesome. Now if someone will start looking at the old St. Pete's place...
  7. hmmm...well, they should come back *Edit* - Wow, looking at that list brings back some memories - Bongo's, Bossa., Kaveh Kane, Saba Blue Water Cafe, Solero,This is It (when it was in Midtown)...wow...
  8. Was that an El Tiempo? I remeber Grass Hopper and I remember the tex-mex place that was were Jefe was, but I could have sworn it was more of a night-club/bar thing more than anything else since I remember girls dancing on the tables and never eating there....
  9. I'm aware of that but would have preffered an El Tiempo
  10. This is a good thing. Now if only El Tiempo would take over Cabo's old place...
  11. If that's the case, it may take a bit longer: http://innerlooped.com/1840/very-bad-news-for-bagby/
  12. I think that he was playing lookout to - veiwing the video that's been played on the news, it seems that if he was an innocent bystander, he wouldnt have had his phone/camera out like that (I have been told many times to put up my phone while in the Menil) and go up immediately to the painting, zoom in on the spray paint and then move over to desecription plate to show which painting it was. Also saying that you spoke to the guy but not holding him until authorities (cops/museum) could come is rather strange.
  13. Wonder what their ETA is and what their menu looks like
  14. Will open Saturday, according to Culture Map http://houston.culturemap.com/newsdetail/05-22-12-crazy-good-a-78-year-old-opens-up-a-new-restaurant-bibas-on-main-vows-to-help-save-dead-downtown/
  15. And now a Dogwood Houston http://swamplot.com/austin-rejection-artist-and-bar-partners-opening-midtown-nightclub/2012-04-25/
  16. Interesting that their team consists of John and Jane Doe, from Some Place, Hometown, USA 01234...
  17. I am so glad to see this happening - the building, currently as is, is an eye sore. I really hope though that the 8-story part is for living and the other two stories are part lobby/retail.
  18. The manager has been charged with arson http://www.khou.com/news/local/Manager-of-Midtown-pizza-joint-charged-with-arson-147324315.html
  19. Appears that the Houston Club is safe for now http://swamplot.com/arco-office-going-down-downtown-houston-club-building-will-stay-put/2012-04-11/
  20. While walking my dog this evening I found out something that set my heart a flutter - Biba's is taking over the space previously occupied by El Rey!!! I just wonder how long the 24 hour thing will last...
  21. A little bit more about our ailing pavillions: http://swamplot.com/the-deep-retail-discounts-at-houston-pavilions/2012-03-22/
  22. It was a more peaceful and safer area when they used to have a drive-thru Taco Bell there years ago. It's gone downhill since everyone ran for the border
  23. Does anyone know anything about the place Milli that was proposed last year to take over what I believed was supposed to be part of the lot next to Cabo's/Frank's? The variance was approved last june but I haven't heard anything about it since then. Maybe they can take over Cabo's old building? Here is a link to an article from Innerlooped http://innerlooped.c...next-to-franks/ New DT Restaurant.pdf
