Fringe Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 90% chance it's a Starbucks or CVS Pharmacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intencity77 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 90% chance it's a Starbucks or CVS Pharmacy.According to Starbucks, they were scouting for a second location in Midtown a few months ago, probably further south of the existing West Gray/Midtown store. These plans were scrapped because it was deemed to close to the existing Midtown store but who knows maybe they changed their minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyTree Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Last time I was by there they were reconstructing the site drainage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb320 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I tried to cut through there the other day to see what was going on. I ended up having to cut through S. Main Baptist parking lot to get over to the feeder because Truxillo, Travis and Isabella were all blocked off. I couldn't tell what they're doing.They've also torn down a multi-story building at (say) Fannin and Holman. Both locations are easy walking distance from HCC.

brian0123 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I thought these changes were related to work and expansion at the church. Edited March 21, 2011 by brian0123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livincinco Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Yeah i know. there are 3 of them withing 75 feat of e.other.That's one of the benefits of urban density. You can get mediocre coffee at multiple locations without needing a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totheskies Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Good for HCC Central!! It perplexes me to no end why we don't have more commercial investment in the surrounding areas of our schools inside the loop (Rice being a glorious exception). This really is standard fare for any major school because students NEED STUFF in between classes! We need to have a Starbucks, Target, couple of restaurants all surrounding HCC. Fiesta and Subway alone aren't cutting it. And of course the same goes for UofH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Appears that the site is now (even more!) parking for South Main Baptist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I wonder if they're going to tunnel under the road like they connected the current two buildings. Now the question would be is when is the construction support to start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinite_jim Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 In addition to the parking there's also a small concentric park on the southwest corner of the parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
