Update on the Grocer Supply location
Just returned home from a family gathering and my relative who works for Memorial Hermann just gave me an update on what is going in at the Grocer Supply location. As I had mentioned many months ago, the site is to me a "Convenient Care Center" (CCC) for Memorial Hermann that will occupy a 35000 sf facility with the 1st floor being an ER facility with X Rays and MRI, and the upstairs will be doctor offices geared toward family needs - pediatrician, OB/GYN, and so on. All of this will be announced mid September when the official renaming of the 610-Ella hospital to Memorial Hermann Greater Heights. The Studewood location, along with an Urgent Care center (at I-10 and Washington) will be open in 2017. Sometime in October, official announcements will be published.
The more interesting part of the development story is what is going in at the Tarkett location by Kroger. The new development there will be completed in 2017. But here is the kicker... A new Kroger will be built along with a Best Buy and other retailers in a 3-story Atrium development and more apartments. I was told the Kroger current location would be sold and likely demolished for more apt and retail development. This location is apparently the top producing Kroger in the state. I don't have the info to back this statistic up, but it was part of the development story. So, this led to the question of an HEB. A top exec at Memorial Hermann is friends with Scott McClelland with HEB and he was asked if Kroger is doing so well at that location, why isn't HEB entering the Heights market. Supposedly, Mr McClelland said HEB is, but the location will be on the north side of I-10. Which street was not mentioned or known. I say YAY to that!!! 
So back to the MHCCC going in at Grocer Supply. The building will be "L" shaped and will contain other retail in addition to the 35,000 sf Hermann center.
Again, my source is a family member with a high up executive role with MH, but I told him I would not share his name. The info will become public in September.
That's all I've got. Just thought I'd share.

 

 

 

 

HEB will have a new location at the corner of Waugh @ Washington, scheduled to open in late 2017/early 2018. That location is currently occupied by an apartment complex, it's coming down soon.

 

Just 2 floors to go

Finally started on metal work, the stairwell is up a couple of stories now

No it really does actually. The blue line is how far drivers must pull forward to turn right onto Studewood, which has an unusual incline and curve that makes it more difficult for drivers trying to take the red arrow path.

 

I agree it's a crappy intersection, but I'm pretty sure this person just has an old utility right-of-way on their 'property' and they are trying to get the city to abandon it.  There is no way they would just close off the street here.

 

Compare the outline of the house on the south side of the intersection with the outline from the HCAD map and that person has fenced in that entire triangle that belongs to the city.  Old satellite photos from google maps show it used to be a driveway/road of some sort.

 

Key learning here, if you want the city to give up its land, just build a fence around it and call it yours for long enough.

Went up over 100k, fun!

It would make that intersection a lot safer. Really hard to see cars approaching from i10 when you're trying to turn off of the street.

 

So everyone would just turn right/left out of the even worse Voight street exit instead?  Doesn't make sense.

 

I searched the city council notes but I couldn't find anything.

 

My only clue is from the HCAD maps:

That corner actually has a homeowner's yard extending over where the 'street' should be if you compare it to google maps.

 

I wonder if that owner is trying to officially buy that piece of land.  Looks like they just built a fence around city property and declared it theirs. The sign is awkwardly placed and seems to 'pointing' to that piece of property and not either street.

I noticed a city sign that noted that they received a request to abandon a street at Usener and Studemont. Seems like a pretty major street with lots of homes on it, what's the deal with the sign?

Making me do the work to back up your claim doesn't help.

Also, assuming every human being on this earth is perfect and should live up to your expectations is selfish...and doesn't help.

I'm just raising the point that he probably brought the crime upon himself for hanging out with scumbags. They must have though he was still dealing if they busted in and demanded money. Why were he and his kids awake at 3am on a school night? I refuse to buy into the random crime act narrative here. And I refuse to support someone who attracts violent crime to our neighborhood.

Source?

Just type Orlando Pagan into the Harris county district clerk search engine. 3 convictions all separate dates.

Wonder if all those businesses were informed they were donating to the recovery of a 3 time convicted felon for possession and dealing.  Why would they go after the most dilapidated shack on the street just for money?
