Triton Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Those Midtown letters are HUGE. Has anyone seen them in person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbates2 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I walk by them fairly often. They look pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarface Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) yeah i drove by there and was quite taken away by the letters. I thought to myself, " Look at Midtown Houston trying to get all sexy!" LOL Edited January 2, 2014 by scarface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLan34 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 nice, from what I understand, a pharmacy is going in caddy-corner to this and it has already started. Seems like that whole area is being renovated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi-Char-Hou-Dal Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 What happened to Wharhols - real story? Open for what 3 months - so nice on the inside I know there is more to that story. Interesting about 2401 Main - I know Patio Bar was great and pretty busy when they first opened but lately has been a ghost town. Wish them the best!

phillip_white Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Update on 2401 Main. I was able to get this shot of the work (or lack thereof) being done inside. . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Saw them ripping up the parking lot at Caroline & Hadley a couple days ago. Went by today and found out that Advantage BMW is building a new detailing shop to replace the one that will be torn down across gray from the dealership (same block as their newly acquired/remodeled used car center). Better than an empty lot or townhomes, I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 There's a new developer sign posted at wheeler and main caddy corner to Sears. It lists commonground.net as the developer's website, but that is clearly a work in progress. Anyone heard of this outfit? I would love to see this big lot used as something other than a base of operations for panhandlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillip_white Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It looks as though work is finally underway to convert 2401 Main St into a bar/lounge. As far as I can tell, the name is going to be Traffic? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 There's a new bar/lounge that's opened up in the old barcadia spot across from the superblock. I never heard anything about it or saw remodeling crews, but they had their soft opening tonight. 60's themed with the place decked out in retro furniture and decorations. It looks like a classy change to what Midtown is used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houparent Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Link below is a month or so old, but that restaurant/bakery/bar (and the team behind it), the MetDance Studio in same location, together with coming Superblock and Caroline street reconstruction, and recent makeovers of Baldwin annd Grover Parks, would hopefully mean positive things going forward now in next few years in Midtown in that neighborhood immediately to the west of Main (north of Elgin, south of McGowen or so)...Agree?
