CVS signage is up, appears to be coming together.

Clock tower is cool

Wow - this board has been pretty hard on long construction projects. This thread was started in 2013, they need to call one of those express funding places and get a predatory loan to get this built and delivered. Certainly renters will help drive some ROI as it sits 70% done it's insane.

next to the holiday inn / days inn  & the metro bus station, what neighbors to have!

Drive past the garage everyday on way to Creme - it's looking better! I'll try to post pic later

Does anyone know if the major underground work at Elgin & Travis was planned or came about due to new construction on Whole Foods? There is a gigantic excavator on site and it's a huge inconvenience at rush hour.

Checked out the park last night, security was out in force doing a great job, keeping people with dogs off the hill and no bums to be found.

Park is very well done , you can't help think about the Aussie Tower across the street and how different it will feel once completed. 

I remember when it was just that field that free press was in for a few years, big change!

Tell me more about this mystery trailer?

SYSCO

ha - will whole foods offer GROUND FLOOR RETAIL?

@KinkaidAlum I will back down on HACS and I really didn't mean to single it out. I do agree it's all about the location location location. To me it seems every page on this post is a new outreach, medical or service building a new headquarters. I'm officially hoping off my soap box. I believe in both sides of Midtown - here's to praying for our Aussie getting financed and Central Market taking over the WF on Elgin and Smith if WF did pull out.

I DO have an issue with the aforementioned clustering of services and was just questioning if it will serve as a deterrent for growth in my hood. I encourage any of you who feel like I was picking on the homeless to go to this location where I saw a homeless person shitting on Caroline on my way home from work yesterday and see if you would want to develop something across the street .

This is what I am afraid of in this area - maybe some of these new service/buildings can offer public restrooms.

If someone would count up the number of new projects/buildings that serve our homeless populations East of Main St. I think the number would be pretty high.

The cynic in me has to wonder how are they making/raising that much money that they can afford new buildings ? I know this is a sensitive subject but worthy of discussion IMO for the future of Midtown which I am directly affected by.

Here's to hoping it's a legal thing where WF didn't want their name plastered all over the Morgan Group's signage. Fingers Crossed - although a Central Market would kill here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen this being cleared when you take the flyover from 59 to 10 - wow this is pretty big for this area even if it's just condos. I like this little area!

planting today - couldn't get pic - will get on way home.

Summoning Monarch.............

There is something to Calhoun believe me thinks- someone chime in

it was a banquet hall space as i member.

What the mole people want is a DRESS BARN !!

Tatget would be cool, it would be nice to speed up the eventual natural progression and get a city target through tax breaks and monies. Make it happen Sylvester .

it was beautiful waaaaaaaa waaaaaa

I feel like a troll - people will see Midtown Sears comments and hope for the best - stuck with her for a little while longer.

I'd like to see art deco back on the buildling and make it a Alamo Draft House and attach a large outdoor beergarden

Damn - immediately looked and was disapointed the Midtown Sears didn't get the AXE

Have been wondering what this was - wait Laurenzo's _ El Tiempo ?
