crock Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 everything i've seen from Metro has shown the only theoretical BRT stop between the NW transit center and downtown to be between shepheard/durham. I've never seen anything suggesting Studewood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see the disconnect now. No, I am not talking about people, I am talking about the store's origin geographically. Right now the huge rave is all about these chains coming directly over from Asia... Tom N Toms, 7 Leaves, Ding Tea, Bing Su, etc. etc.. These places are opening their SECOND LOCATIONS near Kirby or in the Galleria area. That's why there is so much buzz when these places open in Chinatown and Katy Asian Market... they are established big name brands coming over directly from the Asian market. Look at the huge amount of buzz when word hit that the Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo is coming to the Galleria. There are already places that you mentioned that have opened... I'm just saying, I think it would be exciting if we got more of those places closer into town. I'm over using the word "buzz", but I really do think it would definitely generate a lot of buzz for the Lower Heights District if they secured some of these places. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've mentioned this before. Glad to see they are doing this... It would have been an awful miss if they didn't incorporate the connection. I hope their developments has nice retail / food / drink options off the trail. I always find myself wanting a smoothie or refreshment when on walks or rides. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 First phase of Lower Heights mixed-use development nears completion Quote A 35,000-square-foot, two-story building with street-level retail and second-floor offices is being built out at 1440 Studemont. Houston-based Central Bank will have a 3,687-square-foot space in the western end cap of the first floor. Danny Miller represented Gulf Coast Commercial Group in the lease, and Joan Collum of Collum Commercial represented Central Bank. SheSpace, a women-focused coworking space new to Houston, will lease 6,000 square feet on the second floor. Bob Cromwell and Spencer Starkey of Moody Rambin represented Gulf Coast, and Brandi McDonald Sikes and Meredith Kelly of Limestone Commercial represented SheSpace.

Naviguessor Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Is it gravel or is it crushed granite? Big difference in the quality of the riding surface. If it is just a temporary fix, and it is crushed granite, then it's no big deal. I'd ride on the grass before I'd take my chances on the gravel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city wants people to be able to commute on them but some of them don't feel so safe after sunset (which can be at early at 5-6 during winter).

Yea I totally skipped this part because it didn't look stable enough, even for my gravel bike too.

It seems pretty dooming if Cinemark has an upcoming theater section and Lower Heights was there, and now is not. I was trying to find an excuse, but I don't think there is one other than the deal is dead. Bummer... I wonder if another theater would jump on this? It is probably tough times for theaters right now. I would love an Alamo Drafthouse / specialty theater here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
