Underpaid, overworked slave for a wife and husband-owned financial planning firm. Soon to be laid off. Hopefully on to better and bigger things very soon!

This is great news. I hope they are able to go through with the restoration. When I was in this building last year for jury duty I was disappointed by the sad state of the interior and obvious renovations that had been done to squeeze more courtrooms into the building. It will be nice to see it returned to its original appearance.

Will The Real Montrose Please Stand Up?
ssullivan replied to dbigtex56's topic in General Houston Discussions
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how Highland Village is always the first shopping center in Houston to put up Christmas decorations and last to take them down? Usually by Halloween they're all lit up and some years it's almost February 1 before they get them down. I know this year I was traveling for work much of January and February and I remember coming home between trips the second week of February and driving by and seeing the big red bows still on top of the buildings. But they are great decorations and give the place a great holiday atmosphere. I just think they could be a little more prompt in taking them down. -
Yeah, it's not that obvious. But it's there, right under "BREAKING NEWS" on the upper right side of the page, just below the banner.

Taco Milagro is on the northeast corner of the Westheimer and Kirby intersection. The article states that the land is on the west side of Kirby, just south of Westheimer.

Yeah it would make some great lofts, except I've heard from multiple sources that the ceilings on each floor are pretty low by today's standards, and the building's design makes it difficult to increase the height of them. There's also asbestos and 25+ years of decay to deal with, and asbestos. And an owner who wants far too much money for the property. And a parking situation that is less than ideal. While the building is architecturally interesting and worth saving, the odds of succesful redevelopment happening are severely impaired by all of the things the place has going against it. It is a shame because it has a great location and could be a really neat place to live.

I can't believe they showed you an occupied unit. I've never heard of an apartment community showing occupied units to potential renters, only models and unoccupied units that have been cleaned and made ready for move-in. I know as an apartment renter I'd be ticked off with my management office if I found out they were showing my unit to potential renters with me still living there (although I keep my bathroom clean!).
