Talbot Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I heard about the Jay-Z prices a while back, they are ridiculous! I was hoping to get some but too many other things I am worried about atm. Oh well. I hope it's a good concert for that price. But, on a side note, I am very excited for the opening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovernorAggie Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Just drove by again tonight... they have been putting trees in, no palm trees thankfully. They also put in the House of Blues sign... and lit up some of the blue lights. Looks good... of course they are opening in 4 days.Sorry to disappoint you, but the palm trees are already installed in the middle block courtyard area. They reach to at least the second floor and it looks to be at least four of them.Other than that, M&S looks good, and there's more signage--Forever 21, M&S, and some place on the second floor of the easternmost block (can't remember the name but it had the look of a temporary sign) as well as HOB.

houstonartstudent Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 ah ok..that must be the opening party.I don't think they're going to have an "opening party" per se for Cowboy Mouth, just a few nights of shows...and then the night of the Blues Brothers that your friend got tickets to will be the big celebration - I think most of the tickets were given away and then they auctioned off a few for a charity or something like that.

I guess they built it for many people. Did I hear the HoB has a 15,000 or was it a 5,000 seat amphither. We would have went to HP for dinner prom night rather than the woodlands if it was built.

BigSky Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Most of the Retail space on the 2nd floor is empty, which is shocking. I think the retail orgs are waiting to see how this thing pans out. I can tell you that when I worked at Foleys as an assistant buyer. The DTN Foley's was a mid-tier store that did well. This area has nothing but upside and if retailers were smart they would open up in their sooner rather than later. The foot traffic will be there with the restaurants that are opening up within the location. It is a different genre. Most of the eating establishments downtown are not mid-tier casual dining. You either have the high end $40 dollar per plate or you have the park shops and the tunnel restaurants which is primarily fast casual. You are missing the McCormick and Schmicks, good mexican restaurants and others, which with a strong lunch menu at the 10-15 dollar range will get a significant amount of traffic.

It's the guest that's important, at least I thought so. Don't get me wrong, I'd see a show at the gorge over any other venue anytime. But most people don't have that option.

ChannelTwoNews Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I'm still somewhat ambivalent at this point. I mean, yes, the grand opening for the project is next Thursday (10/16)... but businesses will supposedly be opening into January. That said, I still plan to walk through that day or in the days following the first events. I'd wait till February or a bit later to take an objective look at the place, but that's just me.

houstonfella Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 It may officially open 10/16 but Spring is more realistic for a true picture of what this will become. I walked around a few minutes ago and it is really cool. I think when they light up those circular skywalks, that will be really spectacular. I am far more optimistic about HP because HOB and Lucky Strike will be two venues that draw people in. Of course the restaurants are going to be great as well and we all know downtown needs a real nice bookstore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are going to pay if you wanna see Jay-Z, BB King, etc... which is expected I think.I think HOB will be fine. The 20 restaurants... I'm not sure.Also just FYI, if you look at the commercial/office brochure on the site, it has a few more places plugged into the layout (a bank, T-mobile, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 As I've said time and again, I'm not worried about it. It will give downtown convention goers an option for entertainment within walking distance to the various hotels. While I am disappointed that they cut down some of the plans, I was especially bummed they cut out the hotel portion. That would have added a whole new dimension to the area.
