Observations from phase 1 on the west end of the property.  The modular garage structure for The Laura Apartments is being assembled by a heavy crawler crane and a crane base is in place for Trail Head 1 (Building F), along the bayou frontage.  Lots of activity all along the southern half of Phase 1.  No indication yet, for what is planned along Clinton Blvd, that can be seen from the road.   

Would be interesting to see the property by drone....

Andes Café fully opened this weekend.  Their ceviche bar is really special and place is beautifully done.     

They were headed to Rhode Island. 

Streetcar. Lol. 

The horns don't bother us either, In fact, I like them, but we are several blocks away form the nearest line.  You definitely hear them more after the first cold front blows through with dryer, cooler air.   Then, like clockwork, every year, NextDoor App blows-up, with residents convinced that the horns are a personal attack on them by the conductors.   It's entertaining. 

I notice that there is an Amazon warehouse just across the road from the East End Macy's Dist Ctr.  Amazon could have purchased/leased the Macy's space.   

I know exactly what odor you talking about.  It is sewer gas and comes from the Main sewer line for the north side of the bayou, which runs under Clinton.  The smell mostly just comes from the sewer's man holes about 200ft East of Jensen and, also, seems usually present around the intersection Clinton and Hirsch. 

I live on Sydnor half a block north of Clinton and never sense the smell in the general area.  Its' pretty localized, but sharp.  

I think that Houston First is planning to open the ground floor on the north end open to the ease side and connect and engage eado and eventually the cap park.

Draw your own conclusions.   

While in the Museum district, you shouldn't miss the Menil Drawing Institute and the Rothko Chapel, Visitor Center and new landscaping.  

They’re as sloppy as they come. If you think Houston looks like the third world…Centerpoint is much of the problem. The really don’t seem to give a $hit.

Oh trust me, it was just as bad before said construction and will be just as bad afterward (also, pretty sure most of the construction is done at this point, at least as far as lane closures and such are concerned; the South Loop-288 interchange has multiple exits that they were working on and several are outright closed now, and neither road was ever that bad)

It's (practically) only just begun.   Main lanes of 610 still need to be reelevated and realigned...It'll be the best part.  

The Laura.  Excavation already underway.  

Best Restaurant news I've heard in a while.   Bring on those Gulf oysters!

The 610 bridge is due for replacement in the coming decade, I believe.   I can imagine a pedestrian element included in the design.    

Thanks, H-Town.  Never hear that about Tansco Tower.   Here is an image of Beekman Tower.   

Honestly, no. The best sign is no sign, imo. 

Marketing. 

I love hotels. Always have.  But, this place?  This place does absolutely nothing for me.  I'm not even curious to inside and check it out.   

To the far right you can see where they raised the grade where the first building (building F) will go.  It’s raised about 8 feet. Curious to know if the intention is to raise the grade of the whole phase. 

Houston Saw is a great little business though.  Hope they are just moving, locally, and not going under.

Random question, but has anyone tried crossing Westheimer outside of the 610 Loop? 

By The Galleria, tons of times. Why?
