  1. Work has started, crew is creating an equipment entrance at Freund St. at Middle St. Which I think is a bad place to put it since all the streets are tiny and everyone parks on the narrow streets. They should create an entrance on Kennedy St. at Middle St. since it's a straight shot in to the property. Pin drop is where they are creating the entrance.
  2. Went by to talk with a crew member since work has started close to where I live. He is the inspector overseeing the project. He said they started here at Kipling St., Audubon St. and Holman St. since the Greek Annunciation School has already started up. They had planned to start by the school but changed plans due to a late start of the project. They have had a tree trimming company trim some of the trees that the heavy equipment could hit. There are construction barrels all along the street and construction netting around some of the trees. He admitted it is going to be a big mess for those who live along those streets since it will be open cut trenching.
  3. While driving by a while ago I saw two guys walking the property that had just gotten out of a Porsche. Before I could get back to ask them what's up they had left. Only 4 businesses still in operation here. I'm guessing whoever owns it is waiting out the leases.
  4. There are several companies that make rubber sidewalk material that deal with tree roots. https://www.google.com/search?q=rubber+sidewalks+for+tree+roots&source=lmns&bih=884&biw=1603&client=safari&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwids-Sep_75AhWzj2oFHWi0AloQ_AUoAHoECAEQAA
  5. You can park for free at the very eastern end of the causeway next to the ship channel entrance. I got back in to riding bicycles years ago by going to Galveston and renting a bike. I would ride from one end of the Seawall to the other. I did that for a couple years then I decided to buy my own bike and then really got in to biking big time. I haven't ridden in Galveston in years though.
  6. Fence has been added around the whole block.
  7. We should place bets on when this will finally finish. They are removing rotted out sheetrock on the Commerce St. side.
