DrLan34 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 There seems to be a good amount of retail going in. We have the new shopping center on McGowen and Louisiana, then the 3 story retail/office complex next to Alamo Drafthouse, then the retail at the park, and finally the new retail at Post Midtown's new spot.

TGM Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 That shopping center on Tuam between Fannin and San Jacinto would be an ideal and convenient location if the folks that own it would actually make an effort to attract desired neighborhood business ventures.

DrLan34 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I had the chance to meet with Lucky Chopra the other day and he said that his company is moving forward with the White House restaurant at Elgin and Austin street... new roof coming in May. I though this project might have been cancelled so this is good news. http://www.chron.com/business/article/Houstonian-turning-old-buildings-into-bars-1710645.php 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skwatra Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 "Best Little Barber Shop" is moving from the soon-to-be-demolished Fiesta center at Dunlavy and Alabama. I'm sure there is another thread for this, but couldn't find any info. The old fiesta center on Dunlavy and West Alabama is pretty much demolished. Any one know what's going in, if anything, there?
