banking214 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I noticed last week that Bunker Hill Lanes is getting an upgrade inside and out. I have to say that it is much needed. Also, the shopping center next to Spec's seems to be slowly closing up. The only tenants remaining are Village Dry Cleaning (I believe that is the name), La Hacienda, and a few random places. I checked Metro National and noticed they have no information as to the happenings. http://www.metronational.com/portfolio_mc46.shtmlI have heard that the center, as well as Charlie's, is to be razed. As to when and what will be replacing, know one knows.Any information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are fighting it... but it looks as though they are going to lose the bar within the next year.... making way for a new shopping center apparently.

banking214 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 The AMF Bunker Hill lanes are closed for renovations. AMF states "The facility opens in the fall of 2008 as Houston's new bowling and entertainment location - 300 Houston".http://www.amf.com/bunkerhilllanes/centerHomepage.htmThe 300http://www.3hundred.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeats Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 The Quizno's next to Spec's already relocated to a strip mall across I-10 and the Shipley's next door closed down about a month ago. Like the Mr. C's folks said, it's really only a matter of time. That entire area has been pretty desolate for some time, especially since that big Joe Auto (anyone remember that mistake?) closed down. Everything else kind of started shutting down, too. Across I-10 to the north, Bunker Hill is all torn up. I don't know if they've been given the go-ahead to continue widening it past Westview and Long Point, though. Anyone know? If so, that means the elementary school there and the older houses right off Bunker Hill are going to get the shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banking214 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Has Nordstrom's announced this store?I think it was a joke. I did not find anything on the website under stores or future store openings.I would think a Cheesecake Factory would be a great idea. There is plenty of disposable income in the general area, plus a busy location off of I-10 and Gessner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedwigTramp Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 There was also no mention of Charlie's. I would think that it would be coming down as well.As of this afternoon, Mr. C's is now a pile a dirt. The Japanese place will probably be gone tomorrow.

Ducks Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 The new HEB is open. Went last night with the chica to check it out and it was a zoo. Hopefully the newness wears off, the freebie coupons expire, and it becomes a bit more manageble in the future. It's a big store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was supposed to get a couple of steaks but came back with everything under the sun (including 5 Lobsters). She was amazed at the quality and prices of the food. She called her relatives and immediately headed for HEB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, i find this to be the best grocery store I've been too in this city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banking214 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 The new HEB at Bunker Hill is great. I waited a few days for the crowds to die to no avail. I was surprised at how easy it was to park, get in, shop and check out. It looks very intimidating, but don't let that stop you. This is a great store that has a little bit (a lot) of everything.

If it's similar enough, I might give it a whirl. Does it have the same produce, bakery and meat aisle set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a nice store with a huge produce section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Read a newspaper article recently about HEB, and their approach to their new stores. Said they cater to each neighborhood & what each particular 'hood wants a supermarket to provide. The new ones are impressive, especially the produce & meat/seafood selections, with so much variety.

If you go there on a weekend afternoon, it's crazy. The whole west side of the store is produce and ready-to-eat food: Fresh breads, deli, sushi, fish market, etc. They also have the cafe-on-the-go (like Central Market) although not as big as CM's selection. But it is in the suburbs so don't expect any kind of "urban" experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I think I found where 80% of the 80 year old coupon clipper set shop. Kinda slowed things way down.Did you know they have Cheese Police? My son was with me and they refused to give him a sample, even though he had asked ME if he could get one. I had to get it for him. Something about cheese allergies and liability. Dear Lord, how did any of us ever make it to adulthood? Our lives must have been in peril 20 times a day.PS- apparently the Peanut Butter cookies don't need gaurding. whatever.

Ed Shaver, scrubbaThe Marq E Entertainment Center is at I-10 and Silber. It has a Movie Theater and several restaurants such as Cafe Adobe and Dave and Buster's I think. Also a Comedy Club and Night Club. They tried to make the center retail as well but most of that failed. Can't think of any stores that are left. They are planning to remodel the place and are building some new strip center on the edge of it which has a Panda Express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then when they opened up the theater at Memorial City, all theater goers went over there. At least the ones who didn't want to get mugged or have their cars keyed.
