  1. 3230 Dixie Rd. They are calling it "Regency Lofts" being built by Brownstone Construction. https://tbsg.com
  2. I kind of came by here hoping to see the tower crane going up but after visiting a lot of constructions sites and not seeing any workers I realized almost all of the job sites were closed down for the Easter weekend. Maybe next weekend.
  3. The 2 buildings on either side of the Extended Stay motel are fenced off but the middle section is apparently still in business. I wonder what Fort Bend Independent School District has to do with this? Anyone know. https://www.fortbendisd.com I tried looking a little bit on their website but didn't see anything, I'm guessing a Medical connection to TMC kind of like a magnet school for the Medical field.
  4. One of the cashiers at the W. Alabama HEB told me once that he worked at that Pantry store. He is the older skinny guy that is there weekend mornings when I shop at the HEB.

  8. Frost Town Brewing underway in downtown Houston By Olivia Pulsinelli – Assistant managing editor, Houston Business Journal Apr 1, 2021, 6:52pm EDT A new craft brewery is in the works in the northeast corner of downtown Houston. Frost Town Brewing, at 100 N. Jackson, will have a 9,100-square-foot taproom with indoor seating, a 10,000-square-foot outdoor beer garden with rotating food trucks and a second-story mezzanine available for private parties, according to Central Houston Inc. The mezzanine space will be around 2,250 square feet, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. "Our downtown location in the historic Frost Town neighborhood places us just down the street from the first breweries in the city," the brewery's website states. "(Frost Town Brewing's) locally inspired brews are a celebration of Houstonians, past and present. They're drinkable craft lagers and ales meant to be shared with friends in our communal space. We hope to welcome y'all soon!" On its social media accounts, the brewery states that the area called Frost Town was established in 1837 and was home to some of the first commercial breweries in the city. "Nowadays, this area of downtown has been largely paved over with highways," the social media post states. "There’s a living history of Frost Town underneath the surface, and we were fortunate to uncover some with the help of the Houston Archeological Society. We discovered brick rainwater cisterns, ceramic and glass artifacts, and old foundations for the former occupants of the lot." John Sorensen is one of the brewery's owners, according to the TDLR filing and confirmed by the company. Fehr Grossman Architects in Houston is the design firm listed on the TDLR filing. Houston-based Mission Constructors Inc. signs are posted at the construction site, according to photos on the HAIF architectural forum, which show demolition work on the site was completed last summer. The site formerly housed American Engine & Grinding Co., according to photos posted on the now-defunct Swamplot blog and HAIF. A brewery has been planned for the site since at least 2018, per Swamplot. The TDLR filing lists the project's start date as July 1, 2020, and its end date as Oct. 31, 2021. The cost of the project is nearly $2.58 million, according to the TDLR filing.
