  1. I think the NW corner of Third ward would be a great place for a grocery store as you potentially have pull from Midtown, Downtown, Eado, and Third Ward.  Also this area already consist of large homes and town houses and most would consider the area gentrified.  Maybe even do something similar to Pearl Midtown Market but with a Trader Joe's.

    Thread about 4420 Emancipation Ave in Houston is posted in the Third Ward Area forum.

    Photos were posted last month that this would be Sparkle's Burger & Daiquiri Spot.

    Here is the thread in the forum:

  3. Are these all the parcels?  Borrowed original map from Swamplot and added 4001 S Main in blue.  HCAD is still listing Sears as the owner of the large parking lots and main building. That can't be right.

    As for the house, the whole "open concept" BS has to end.  It is a massive waste of space, especially when you have a living/dining area that has a two story ceiling. Most 3500-4500 sq ft suburban homes can be cut down to 2000-2500 by putting in walls and getting rid of open concept kitchen, living and dining room.  With zone HVAC systems, you can really cut down on energy use if you put walls back into houses.  Also, you actually save space with walls because people can put in more case pieces and built-ins to keep their stuff.  Everyone I know with the open concept thing cannot park their cars in the garage because that is where they keep all their stuff.  

     

    I actually like open concepts for entertaining.  I have parties and cookouts at my place(2000 sq ft) and it's nice to have everyone in same room for interacting with each other.  As for the garage situation most people have too much crap.  It's best to be organized and have proper shelving to store the stuff in the garage that you want to keep.
