Landed at IAH on American from LAX. We had to wait for 25 minutes because the AA gates were full.

 

I agree, F-OFF, United. 

Going on minute 30 of sitting on the tarmac in this Alaska Air flight. Can sympathize.

Any updates?

Construction has been ongoing slowly. I'd send a pic but I fled the office a bit ago.

El Tiempo announced they'll close 11/11. We'll see if that actually comes true this time.

I expect so because 2 buildings on the block are on the demo report today: Montrose Tire & Wheel and 1419 Marconi.

History certainly agrees with you as well. You make an enemy of the church and you make an enemy of a lot of people.

 

I would propose this. The city/midtown comes to the church and says "hey, why don't we pay you money for all of this parking, and in exchange we build you guys a beautiful new cathedral." Then they sell the parking lot space to developers for more residential / retail. That might be an interesting compromise.

Yeah, but the church presumably likes the parking lot, has owned it forever, and just had a huge sanctuary renovation project. So no one's going to bite at a new "cathedral."

I'm also sure the church isn't interested in allowing their parking lot to be used for unrestricted development.

I'm sure if it actually got to be an issue (and it hopefully will) there will be negotiations about putting up a parking structure in the lot or at least allowing outsiders to park in the lot.

Wahlburgers may open its Houston location at The Midtown by Caydon. I read in another online forum this is where it may open.

Maybe off topic but I noticed the lot north of Camden McGowen no longer is advertising that it needs a restaurant lessee. Was wondering if that might be the WB location.

I called and spoke to someone at the number.  They've just started the permitting process and are hoping it will be complete by about March 2019 so they can start construction.  Construction should take about 6-9 months once the permit is issued and construction begins.

Haha you're awesome. Thanks!

I'm unfamiliar with City of Houston codes for permit types.  Is "PX" a type of construction permit?  Just trying to figure out what this signifies for the project.

Hey me too! I have no idea. I just know this is the first time I've seen a permit filed for "HEB-MACGREGOR" and I search the permitting site all the time.

Call the phone number on the permit and get back to me

Hey buddy

Wow!

1500 McGowen? Davis Holdings filed a permit for alterations on the 4th.

Wow! the link for the midtown presentation is a trove of information and images! http://www.houstontx.gov/planning/nhhip/midtown/public-open-house-midtown.pdf

(if this has already been shared i apologize for my lack of attention to detail)

Was driving east on Tuam just now near boheme. This is really starting to stick out from that area now. Amazing!

Bleh. The gay bars keep dyin.

Far from exciting, but from the Houston Permitting site, looks like this will be a bank building.

Cool! That area could use a cafe.

Hmm, according to the ownership history Rice has owned the lot since 1994.

closest thing I could find is here, and I can't figure out the rhyme or reason for the numbers anyway. So, no-ish.

Did they buy the Art Supply building? It's on the platting agenda this week as moving to Almeda and Oakdale.

Quote

e. A down-sized version of The Art Supply at 2711 Main Street will be relocated to the proposed site resulting in a smaller area building, while maintaining the same mixture of uses of their current store, including art studios and living spaces. Like the current location on Main Street, they intend to create a building that will be attractive to those driving or walking.

Quote

(5) Economic hardship is not the sole justification of the variance. Economic hardship is not the justification of this variance. The justification for this variance is the need and desire of the developers to provide a pedestrian, eyes-on-the-street, safe, and visually active addition to the Almeda corridor. The irony of this proposal is that the conditions at the current location on Main Street have created an economic hardship forcing the move from Main Street to this site on Almeda. 

Planned at Oakdale and Almeda.  On this week's platting agenda.

Tried posting pic of the plans, but gave up after a few tries. It's a pretty simple looking building anyway.

Wow

It's gone. I really wanted a coke zero on the way to play practice and I exited to go there before church and welp it's not there anymore.

I hope they're not getting the restaurant pad on the north side of Camden. They can do so much better!

I guess. I went to the one in the Toronto airport and it sure was terrible.
