Daniepwils Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Holiday Inn Across from HP? There isn't a Holiday Inn across HP. There is one behind the Toyota Center, are you talking about that one? The only hotel right off of HP is The Marriott and The Hilton is a block away.

Houston19514 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I just got back from downtown. Strolled around HP while I was down there. It is progressing very nicely. McCormick & Schmick's (at the corner of Fannin & Dallas, IIRC) is very nearly finished on the insde. The tables are even in there already. Books a Million (at the corner of Main & Polk) is installing shelving and looks very nice.Forever XXI (at the corner of Main & Dallas) has started interior work.Guadalarja del Centro will be at the corner of Dallas & San Jacinto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totheskies Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) According to HOB's website, the Shed is still a go for Oct. 11th-- Cowboy Mouth with the Lifters. However Dave Attell (actual opening night) did cancel. Edited September 22, 2008 by totheskies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totheskies Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) I rode my bike around HP last night, and here's what I saw...The SHED (House of Blues) looks great on the inside, and it was full of workers getting it ready.Books-A-Million is already shelving books and has a full staff there. McCormick and Schmick's looks like it will be open soon too. The rest of the development still looks a bit unfinished, so my guess is that they're going to be opening in phases. HOB and Books-A-Million will probably be phase one Edited September 29, 2008 by totheskies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tierwestah Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 While i'm excited about this development, I'm very disappointed in the architecture and the miniscule lighting effects so far.

I thought this thing was supposed to be ornamented with video screens?I'd say give it time! It's October but they haven't even put the signs up yet. I think that the finishing touches will compensate for the yawn architecture of most of the place. At least I hope so. FWIW, I saw wires hanging outside the building at the Main/Polk corner, so there should be some sort of electrical something going up there.By the way, though the development looks underwhelming in pics or driving by, it still is impressive when walking along all three blocks of it.

ricco67 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I do hope that they keep it open a bit late on weeknights (mon-fri), as this will give those poor saps staying in downtown hotels an additional option for entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wernicke Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Drove by tonight... still no signage. McCormick and Schmidt's looks finished... Books-A-Million looks nearly finished... there were workers inside Forever 21 doing sheet-rocking at 1030 PM. It looks good, some places better than others... I hope Books-A-Million has some nice study areas. And it looks like they have a lot of trees to be planted along the streets, which should look nice.

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
