Eastdwntwn Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Does anyone know what else is supposed to go on this large lot? On Bell St. there are a bunch of small concrete driveways that look like townhome driveways. Is there a residential portion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only a tiny sliver of the block that they don't control.

But it isn't the area that they don't control. The driveways are along bell. They seem to be too close together to be entrances to a parking lot. I will snap a picture the next time I am over there.

Too small for food trucks as they cannot block the sidewalk (also, why food trucks at a restaurant?). This appears to be a terribly implemented method of turning public street parking into private restaurant parking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutchins and St. E are turning into pedestrian friendly streets with more and more developments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they could be the sole alcohol vendor and make up for lost food sales that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I wasn't going to try this place out because BBQ isn't enough to entice me. However, seeing Beer Garden on the sign will bring me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoshugibon is supposed to make the wood more resistant to insect and fungal attack. Consider that there are Japanese temple structures that have been so treated and have been around for more than a century. I had to introduce shoshugibon to some architect interns who persistently referred to fire retardant-treated wood (chemically treated to resist burning) as "fire-treated wood." I explained to them that there is a such thing as fire-treated wood but it was not what they intended. Most all of them thought shoshugibon is a very cool and I agree. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I talked with a worker and he said this would open in September. They were doing work on the parking lot and it looks like it will be a permeable lot, the black plastic pieces will go where the gravel is. It's been a long journey but the end is in sight. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanjorade Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Got an impromptu tour of this place. The delays have been due to design changes apparently, but they are hoping to be open within a month. This place is going to be packed with bbq lovers, if the kitchen equipment is indicative of their skill set to smoke and grill. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 if anyone is interested, that's the same plastic underlayment they used for Saint Arnold's and it's a local Houston company. they're made from recycled plastics only. truegrid. they're surprisingly affordable, I used them to make an extension to my driveway when I got married and suddenly a 1 lane driveway wasn't enough. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it holding up for you? I've heard they don't really last too long in commercial applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
