Just saw the obit for George Ballas, inventor of the original Weed Eater, in the Chronicle and have so many memories of working in Windsor Plaza at Midtown Office Supply in the 70s. Midtown was in the middle of the strip and Mr Ballas opened his Weed Eater shop at the end nearest Sage Ave. Mr Ballas formerly owned Dance City USA but had sold it and was Rogelio Rodriguez Dance Studio. In about 1976 or 1977 a woman was shot getting out of her car going into the exercise studio in the dance studio. I went to work at 8am and after seeing the covered body near the curb found out from another employee who was in the store at the time - but did not actually see it, that the woman had been shot getting out of her car by 2 men that had been waiting in the parking lot. They drove by, shot her and drove on. I remember they left the body in the same position for 4-5 hours before finally removing it. There was some suspicion that the woman shot had been mistaken for another woman with same type car that was going to the same exercise class. After a couple of days there wasn't anymore said about the murder. However, years later the police started saying that it was done by 2 men from I think Florida who were hired gunmen and that as many as 10 or 11 more murders at that time were associated with them. All victims were connected in some way and knew each other...but then the story dropped again. Curious if anyone knows anymore about this story.....

So recently I've picked up an interest in the late Shamrock Hotel, but this especially caught my eye: Glenn McCarthy. I'm curious as to whether there are any renderings of this--an indoor shopping complex seems very forward thinking and probably would be the first true indoor regional mall if built. Anyone have more details on this? Wyatt C. Hedrick (often misspelled as Wyatt C. Hendrick)

When the news broke about a proposed NRG Park Mixed-Use Development, reporters took note the given area surrounding NRG Park. The reporters noticed the immediate area is littered with the standard, one-story basic retail strip centers. How could we improve the general retail in the southern Main Street corridor? I have noticed the independent owned restaurants can't survive so the national corporations come in to replace. The former Shell Technology Center located at 1500 Old Spanish Trail could become a vibrant, class-a retail district. Maybe that could be the starting point? I believe the TMC took control of the land from New Quest? So probably not. Given the area around the world-class Texas Medical Center, it would be a good idea to build better retail and restaurants. Thought I would create a thread about the retail market surround the TMC and NRG Park areas.

Maybe I am posting this in the wrong section, but I live in Meyerland and I have often wondered why we do not have a Super Walmart in the SW Houston/Meyerland area. We have a normal Walmart off of South Post Oak and 610 (which is always REALLY crowded), but not a Super WM. Anyone else think there needs to be one?- 127 replies

Midtown Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming
The Great Hizzy! replied to WestGrayGuy's topic in Midtown
The HBJ refers to this as a downtown location but its actually located in Midtown according to the address given. http://houston.bizjournals.com/houston/sto...ml?surround=lfn I just drove past that intersection during my lunch break and didn't really notice. I'm assuming that it's probably in the retail center on the left side of San Jac, facing north, although I could be wrong. -
3201 Allen Parkway is the reimagining of the former Star Engraving Company Building into a modern retail, creative office and restaurant project in the heart of Inner Loop Houston. Formally home to the Houston Children’s Museum, the Anza Falco Museum of Art and Design, and the Stages Theatre. The redevelopment was designed by Perkins + Will. The landscape architect is SWA Group, and Perrin Projects handled the interior design. I just received a gallery invitation to view the architect's drawings for this new Houston museum. It's slated to open in 2010, first in some sort of temporary building and later in a permanent structure. This is the first I've heard about it. There's virtually nothing on the internet as to location or funding and very little about its purpose. Information, anyone?

The architectural, historical, and cultural icons of Katy must be saved! I think they would make great apartments. Imagine living in the "Rice Tower" with massive concrete walls for insulation and punched out windows with stunning views of the big box development, mall parking lots, and unchecked suburban sprawl. I bet it would sell like hot cakes!- 3 replies

Redevelopment planned for the old Rex Supply building on Harrisburg at Milby. This is near the Second Ward/Coffee Plant stop on METRO Green Line light rail. Looks to be mixed-use retail with plans for a three story garage. Definitely would be a welcome addition near the Sampson/York corridor. http://swamplot.com/what-rex-supplys-harrisburg-complex-would-look-like-with-restaurants-throngs-of-pedestrians-taking-over-its-thru-street/2018-09-20/ https://www.hpiproperties.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/milby-junction-1.pdf Special thanks to Swamplot for finding this (or at least making me aware of it lol)- 18 replies

I haven't been by this building in a long time, but Google streetview shows it to be vacant. Looks like this might become a bakery that doubles as a storefront for a coffee roaster? New electrical permit for a Mango Pickle LLC kitchen remodel: LLC search shows Eadough Pastries as an alternate name: That leads to http://eadough.com And also found http://www.instagram.com/itscakegirl And Google Maps shows Blackwater Coffee Roasters at the location: https://www.google.com/maps/place/3204+Polk+St,+Houston,+TX+77003/@29.7429671,-95.3478145,90m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x8640bee39138903b:0x79798a02fd06ac3e!8m2!3d29.7429144!4d-95.3477554

Any updates regarding this shopping center? It's located at Stella Link & South Braeswood. The shopping center has been doing very poorly over the years. Lots of vacancies and no remodels. Looked around on DMRE's website today. Looks like the property was sold. 9.70 acres. Future housing or a major retail redevelopment? https://dmre.com/property/stella-link-and-braeswood-9-70-acres/ Old site plan.

I was looking forward to this new restaurant to open. We tried it for lunch this past weekend. The service was friendly buy quite slow. A lot of their menu items had sold out (appetizers/soups). The food was average at best (Lemon Grass beef and Singapore beef dishes). But...to be fair...the place is new and needs time to sync up. I will try them again in the future.

I could have sworn this already had a thread but could not find it. This warehouse will be converted into a bar. Apparently it's already under way per houstonculturemap, slated to be completed by this fall. I attached link for all the details. https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/05-12-22-heights-social-1213-w-20th-st-drift-bar-open-champagne-service-brunch-cocktails/
