Polk St. Temporary Bike Lane
wilcal replied to hindesky's topic in Bicycles and Other Low-Impact Modes
Temp bike lane has been construction equipment free for a few weeks now. Not sure if they just finished or if a message got across from someone. -
I will eat a baseball glove if Academy or Dicks comes into this location. Additional note about this one, they have to go through the JRC process to have this alley abandoned by the city before they can move forward, so that will add to any "fastest possible" timeline if they are going that route.

The Houston Chronicle protects us from cartoons
wilcal replied to editor's topic in Houston and the Media
Ok, I'll at least agree that it is worse to pay Scott Adams for reruns instead of printing his woke strips. -

I wish the Chronicle would stop wasting my subscriber dollars by giving any of them to Scott Adams. -

The answer evidently is yes, but the issue is that the distance between floors is pretty tight so it would make for some low ceilings. Clearly it is just valuable enough to not tear down.

Office With Retail - 3509 Harrisburg Blvd.
wilcal replied to Urbannizer's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
Was on the light rail this morning and one of the construction workers hopped off the train and was right at work. Pretty convenient stop! -

Really enjoyed it. Recognizing film locations and the rapper cameos was half of the fun. Was produced by A24 and felt like it.

Gas Station At 3409 McKinney St.
wilcal replied to ljchou's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
Ly's is good! They were planning on expanding into the space next door but I think it is on pause. I've been resisting going to Spec's when they pushed so hard against closing the spur to Bagby 🤐 -

Gas Station At 3409 McKinney St.
wilcal replied to ljchou's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
That is great news. They've got a few other locations but are big enough that they do some barrel picks. -
Funny, my first thought was about how much extra they are going to have to charge for the bbq to pay for all of that parking 😁 Looked up the pricing from the Dallas location. $14.50 for a sausage sandwich by itself.

I imported a Kei truck from Japan last year and shipped it via Ro-ro to Freeport! That is interesting that they are exporting that many vehicles. I wouldn't have guessed.

Development Desirability: The Heights Vs. Montrose
wilcal replied to clutchcity94's topic in Houston Real Estate
Fun fact: Houston's historical districts don't actually regulate land-use because that would be zoning. They just regulate appropriateness. Granted, there are a boat-load of deed restrictions which require single family residential, so what you are saying is effectively true.
