    “While this project is not a real development at this time, our study shows how it is possible to create a vibrant mixed use development of office, retail, restaurants, and grocery in the heart of Bellaire. ”

    That are unnecessarily huge and take up half of the sidewalk.

    Drift Bar opens on W 20th in the Heights tomorrow, 01/10/20. Huge sports bar with a ton of massive TVs.

    I assume that it could just be hard to restore on a convenience store budget.

    It is 5:52 and my ParkMobile app will only allow me to pay for a max of 8 minutes. I think the rules are unchanged.

    It would make sense for him to make the New Hope property additional premium parking but I think that this site is much more likely to be in his ballpark village plan.

    Yeah this sucks. Conservatory is great as is in its current space. Big loss for downtown.

    Former Houston Press building, demolished earlier this year.

    Looks like we should see how this looks underneath soon, they are removing the panels. https://imgur.com/gallery/X6fzahX (Can't figure out how to get the photo in the post)

    I tried to walk there to watch a World Series game and they were closed - so at least a couple of months.

    Cooking

    But your spices from Phoenicia. They grind them in house so they cost as much as fiesta (cheap) but they are super potent.

    Any idea what their current proposed start date is?

    But it’s not just those cities. Denver has a great walkable downtown. As does Seattle. Austin is getting there. We just need better developers. We get hideous automated parking garages while other cities get great walkable developments.

    Yeah this is an embarrassment to Gensler.

    If that happened it would be the most houston thing ever.

    Yeah this sucks.

    Five Hobos peed?

    I would have expected 100%. Inflation adjustments?

    Lucky for them it's rent and not mortgage and if you live downtown, you have to know that can happen.

    Finn does have the worst food of all of the downtown halls IMO. They could retool quite a bit. I liked Mala but they are gone right? Yong is good.

    I walked by it yesterday and there were people eating inside and dish society cooking that I could see from the sidewalk.

    I would assume fairly deep. That should change when the white oak bypass is complete but they would need to plan for that contingency either way I would think.

    I assume that they haven't sold MST yet? That worries me slightly that they won't go very tall to preserve MST views. That said, their MST investment (and this land investment) would both benefit from development here, so I wonder if they decide to go short to protect MST or just go tall as most views are going away with the Preston anyway.

    El Real did have the best cheese enchiladas in the city. It will be missed.

    It's not their customers as much as their loiterers. If a liquor store opens - cool - if it has customers who get hammered outside and pass out and yell at other customers/pedestrians - not cool. This store tends to be closer to the latter in my example.
