hindesky Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Saw these core drilling guys from the Matrix- Adair St project. Large empty lot behind the Frost Bank and next to the Holman St Baptist church. I wonder what the plans are for this?

hindesky Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 So it turns out the eastern portion I saw the crew drilling core samples a while back will be a drive through for the Frost Bank right next to it. Anslow Bryant is the contractor building it. The Matrix student condo's in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until Frost there was literally no banks around here except for the Chase on UH campus hidden in the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 The bank is already there. A drive through is not really a new investment in the area. It's not adding a new service, or housing, or really much of anything. And it is next to the light rail. A new drive through attached to an existing business next to the light rail is 100% a whomp whomp for me. Especially given all the new student housing going up just the other side of Scott. This could have been something interesting, but it isn't. That's a whomp whomp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be privileged and be able to go to a bank during "business" hours unlike a lot of us who use atms to make deposits. Sorry you don't understand the fear of making a deposit in a relatively unsafe area at night. This is a big plus for people who live in the area and can only bank after hours. How about you withdraw 500 dollars and hop on the lightrail at night to see how safe you feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I have lived in Philadelphia and ridden the el at 6am and late at night. I've lived in Baltimore - the only city in which I've actually been randomly assaulted. I've lived in Third Ward. I've been chased by stray dogs on Holman. Threatened by a guy waving a gun on Alabama. Chased on my bike on the Columbia Tap. And I stand by my "whomp whomp." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
