Gator Purify Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 ...sophisticated café will offer Northern Italian-inspired fare... Is this code for pizza? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Nah, Northern Italian is typically seen as more sophisticated, less about pasta, tomato sauce, and spices and more open to stand-alone meats and fish than its Southern counterpart. It ties in with a longstanding cultural dominance by the north, and in some instances has kind of a racial element, although no such accusation is warranted generally. (But the food that the world loves is Southern Italian, just like Northern Mexican.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Do the two houses get demolished for the school? I don't think so. If they planned to demolish those houses, one would think they would have done so at the same time as the Glassell demolition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The houses will live on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I was actually hoping they would demo them and take it all the way back to the next street. It would have made it a nice cleaner and larger space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 You mean extend the Glassell all the way bay to Barkdull along Montrose? That would have been a pretty enormous wall. I for one am glad the houses are staying. They'll break up the street face on an oversized block and give the new building (which I expect to like) some context. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
