Plumbing demo.

That building is a tear down. The roof has collapsed, I go by often and hunted a mural on the northern side of the building, it's in sad shape. Townhomes are going in the block next to it and this will probably be townhomes too.

Main Bird is coming to the old Einstein Bagels location. Glad to see a hot chicken place I can walk to. I have been getting my fix at either Dave's Hot Chicken Midtown, Gus's World Famous on Washington Ave. or Cook Shack on Washington Ave. https://mainbirdhotchicken.com

The old Kamalan sign has been taken down and a porch area has been added.

Waugh St. north of W. Dallas is a different project by Memorial Heights TIRZ 5 and TIRZ 27 confirmed they have plans to continue the path.

Someone mentioned that when Exxon sold the property they removed fuel tanks and probably remediated the property in order for it to be sold.

A storied property on Lyons Avenue in Houston’s Fifth Ward Cultural Arts District is getting a new life, complete with an attraction that could draw hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The longtime home to Moncrief-Lenoir Manufacturing Co., which made sheet metal there from 1917 until the company ceased operations in the 1990s, will welcome the immersive, interactive art experience Meow Wolf — part of a development expected to help revitalize a once-neglected corner of the city. Meow Wolf, an art and entertainment company that got its start in Santa Fe, New Mexico, operates locations in Las Vegas and Denver, with a Grapevine, Texas, location set to open this summer. Touting exhibits that “transport audiences of all ages into fantastic realms of story and exploration," its Houston venue is scheduled to open in 2024. The multimedia, multisensory experience offers something like "your brain on drugs," according to one Instagram user. But its Houston home also represents a concerted effort to reconceptualize a historic site in an area with huge untapped potential, its developers told Bisnow during an exclusive tour this week. In the years after Moncrief-Lenoir Manufacturing Co. ceased operations at 2103 Lyons Ave., the property fell into the hands of a recycling company. More recently, it was under contract to a multifamily developer, which planned to tear the buildings down to make way for apartments, Ori Batagower said. Batagower, The Deal Co.'s new development and acquisitions director, said the company made it a priority to get its hands on the property, buying it in 2020. “We really rescued this from the wrecking ball,” Batagower said. “I mean, it would have been an absolute travesty.” The Deal Co. is working to revamp the six buildings and 133K SF on the 6.8-acre property into a vibrant, mixed-use development that includes Meow Wolf, which is expected to bring in more than 750,000 visitors annually, if its properties elsewhere are a guide. In addition to Meow Wolf, The Deal Co. is planning an inviting courtyard and spaces that could have tenants like restaurants, event venues, offices and art studios. https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/construction-development/exclusive-inside-a-century-old-fifth-ward-building-that-could-alter-fortunes-of-houstons-north-side-118416

More demo permits for buildings.

Mock up under construction. Looks like the workers got a day off due to the rain.

Looks like it has stabilized rock for a parking lot.

Someone placed cement lane dividers in the parking lot at the southeast corner at Leeland St. and St. Emanuel St. They form a circle with a small opening toward the real estate building.

Thai Pepper building is gone.

I wonder if this is related to the North Canal Diversion project?

Proposed plat for the dog park.

Proposed plat called Parker Hobby.

"Metro officials on Wednesday approved a path for the 25.3 University Corridor line in a rare split vote that keeps the region’s largest bus rapid transit project on track for a 2028 opening, but also deepened concerns among some who said the public is not completely behind the planned route. Under the current schedule, construction could begin as early as late next year, though riders will not hop aboard the large buses operating in their own lanes for another three or four years." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/transportation/article/metro-approves-route-big-brt-line-community-17880770.php

Plans must have changed and something else is now planned.
