    This building next to the new build is damaged beyond repair. I guess their insurance will probably give them way less than if they had sold to the apartments. I bet the neighborhood is glad to get rid of them.

    Houston's star chef dishes on a searing 2021, plus a hot new Montrose lounge By CultureMap Staff Jan 28, 2021, 10:40 am On this week's episode of "What's Eric Eating," James Beard Award winner Chris Shepherd joins CultureMap food editor Eric Sandler to discuss his busy 2021. Shepherd's Underbelly Hospitality has big plans for the coming year, including winding up One Fifth, opening Georgia James Tavern in downtown's Market Square Tower, and opening a new restaurant as part of the renovations at the Houston Farmers Market. The conversation begins with Sandler congratulating the chef on his recent wedding to Lindsey Brown and a brief discussion of how the Southern Smoke Foundation has benefitted from celebrity chef David Chang's $1 million win on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. From there, the conversation turns to Georgia James Tavern with Shepherd describing some of the motivation for opening a more casual, affordable version of his signature steakhouse and why he chose the downtown high-rise for its first location. Shepherd has been involved with the plans to renovate the Houston Farmers Market since the project was first announced in 2017. Todd Mason, his business partner in Underbelly Hospitality, is also a founding partner at MLB Capital Partners, the investment firm that purchased the market. Sandler asks Shepherd to describe what the experience at the renovated market will be like when it opens this summer. "There's going to be over 500 parking spaces, a bunch of different retail, restaurants, and green space. Someplace you can go any day of the week and get lunch, get your meat, your fish, your bread for dinner over the next couple of days or go have dinner. That's the whole goal," Shepherd says. "People are nervous it's not going to be what it was. It's not, but it's going to be a rendition of what it was. In the '80s, it was different than what it was in the '40s." The conversation concludes with Shepherd elaborating on his opinions about the role of influencers in the food world and providing an update on the Independent Restaurant Coalition's efforts to get components of the proposed RESTAURANTS Act into the Biden administration's new coronavirus relief package. Prior to the interview, local beverage consultant Linda Salinas joins Sandler to discuss the news of the week. Their topics include: the Kirby Group's plans to open Buffalo Heights Bier Garten and Emma Jane Bakery on Washington Ave.; industry veteran Kerry Pauly opening a new bistro in the Memorial area; and West Coast favorite Dutch Bros. Coffee making a major push into Texas. In the restaurants of the week segment, Salinas and Sandler describe their recent meal at The Nash, a new restaurant in downtown that serves steak, pizza, and other American fare. They also rave about 93 'Til, the new Montrose lounge where chefs Gary Ly and Lung Ly serve an eclectic array of small plates.

    Rebuilt Brazos Street bridge reopens with intersection improvements By Matt Dulin | 5:00 AM Jan 28, 2021 CST After a year and half since it was closed, the Brazos Street bridge has reopened, Houston Public Works announced Jan. 27. The bridge, which carries traffic from Hwy. 59 via Spur 527 into Midtown, was closed after experiencing deteriorating conditions on the concrete decking. It has since undergone a $4 million reconstruction, which initially began in fall 2019 but was briefly halted while city officials considered alternative designs, including closing the bridge altogether and adding even more pedestrian-oriented features. According to public works, the new bridge surface and reinforced steel structure are expected to last another 50 years. The project also brought intersection improvements to Smith, Bagby and Holman streets—previously designated as among the 12 most dangerous intersections for bicyclists and pedestrians. One southbound lane on Smith was removed to allow for a wider median for non-vehicle traffic safety, and a left-turn lane from Smith to Holman was removed. Wider curb ramps and a concrete trail were also incorporated into the intersections. The engineering firm Aguirre & Fields oversaw the design of the bridge project.

    Train was still there. I didn't get to talk with the workers but will check back on Saturday to see if they are moving it yet.

    There are a couple of cool Marilyn Monroe window murals on the east side parking garage. I took a couple of pics about a month ago and so did someone else with their cute dog.

    Got in a good ride and ended with more miles than I thought I would. Ended with the last portion looking for an impossible find for a Bike Tag. The person who posted it gave a cryptic clue to look by who r/houston thinks is the worst taco truck in Houston. Not a taco truck but r/houston thinks Torchys is a horrible taco so I looked close to Torchys near Sheperd St. No luck.
