  2. Formerly Cowboys and Indians is now called Parley Bar and Grill. This will the third restaurant to open at this location. First it was Juanmon's Tortas which I tried once. They used a soft bread for the tortas but I like a French style baguette for my tortas. Then it became Cowboys Indian which I never tried. The new menu looks more upscale type food. Not quite open yet but has a website. https://parlaybarandgrillhouston.com Juanmon Tortas. Cowboys Indians. Parley Bar and Grill.
  3. I heard a rumor the bar is closing in 2 months to make way for a hotel. Any insiders know anything?
  4. Looks like some dirt is being moved on the empty lot between La Grange and Buffalo Exchange. Does anyone have the scoop? Based on a quick Google search it looks like this was planned to be a Bunkhouse hotel back in 2008, but I'm assuming those plans have been scrapped.
  5. i went by the menil and rothko chapel yesterday and the broken obelisk in the reflecting pool in front of rothko is gone. anybody know what's up?

  10. I celebrate a lot of birthdays, etc... I am the "party planner" for my group of friends/relatives... these are my faves [Dollar signs are my own emphasis]. Also, try b4-u-eat.com for reviews.

Midtown *Damian's ($$$) 3011 Smith - classic Italian Montrose / Shepherd - *Vincent's / Nino's / Grappino di Nino ($$) 2701 W. Dallas http://www.ninos-vincents.com/ Nino

  12. Haven't checked to see if there's already a demo permit, but the windows have been taken out, the entire building is covered with graffiti, and there's a prominent "FOR SALE' sign. . Corner of Westheimer and Mulberry St.
  13. These 3 multifamily houses are getting demo'd. My guess is that it will eventually be either townhomes or some sort of larger multifamily.
  14. since the downtown post office has been under renovation i had not been to the library. so i went to my local branch in montrose. i arrived 15 minutes early and within 5 minutes there were abut 6 homeless fellas lining up in front of the door. when the branch opened they filed into the men's room and during the next half hour emerged --- some with wet hair and one with a fresh gallon container of water. a few switched out their items from their old plastic bags with new library bags (for books) and left. i know they have set up recent ordinances as far as cleanliness and behaviorin libraries, some aimed at keeping the locations from being a destinationsimilar to covenant house (which is nearby and free). i would feel less odd ifthey also used the library and were cleaning up in preparation to look at books or use the computer. in fairness, i suppose the only way it really affected me was not wanting to usethe restroom there and getting the creeps when one fella with random parts of his head shaved kept checking me out.
  15. New project by Austin’s Bunkhouse Group. They’ve previously done El Cosmico (Marfa), Hotel San Jose & Hotel Saint Cecila (Austin), Hotel Havana (San Antonio), and Hotel Phoenix (San Francisco) Unlike their past projects, this will be new construction adjacent to the Menil.

  16. New housing development on Commonwealth: https://www.owaisdevelopments.com/commonwealth-park
  17. It's not on the Planning Commission web site yet but this makes me think they might be demolishing the old Chase bank for new residences.
  18. Proposed unrestricted plat. Developer - https://kensingerdonnelly.com https://kensingerdonnelly.com/property/alabama-shepherd/
  19. Apparently they are about to open soon, they have a "Hiring Now" banner in front. This is next to the old Bar Method that looks to be a yoga studio now.
  20. In 1917, Ross Sterling was building a mansion in Montrose located at 4410 Rossmoyne Street (later Yoakum Boulevard.) Mike and Ima Hogg needed a place to live while their Bayou Bend estate was being built. Ross Sterling leased the property to the Hoggs for a few years. When Mike Hogg left the property for Bayou Bend, another oilman moved in. Walter Benona Sharp. In 1902, Sharp, Ed Prather, and Howard Hughes Sr., founded the Moonshine Oil Company. University of Saint Thomas owned the property for decades up until demolition. The building had numerous names, including Second Women's Residence, and Spiritual Hall. Photos of the old mansion. Sadly was demolished for a few 3-story luxury town homes.
  21. Alfred C. Finn designed the residence of Walter Fondren located at 3410 Montrose Boulevard. Designed in the 1920s. Now a Hines skyscraper towers over the old mansion.
  22. During the 1950s, mental health treatment and science really started gaining traction in Houston. One of the initial companies researching was The Mental Health Association of Houston and Harris County. Located in a 2-story house in Montrose at 916 Branard Street. This hospital isn't not very well known so I'm glad I am sharing with HAIF. Very cool history here. Edit: This was lead by Mrs. Viola Perkins, Executive Director.

  24. Does anyone know what is planned for the large tract at the former site of Houston Community College on Richmond at Dunlavy? Who is the developer?
