  1. milk + sugar has the best ice cream in Montrose and Houston.
  2. Whoever told them that was a good business plan for Montrose is an idiot. I’d expect to see something like that at DisneyWorld or Times Square.
  3. It’s a beautiful house IMO. Would love to see it restored. Corner of Avondale & Stanford.
  4. I vaguely remember there being a Hollywood Video somewhere in the Montrose area. Does anyone remember where?
  5. @hindesky @gene what are your absolute favorite places to ride? I’m looking to switch up my cycling routes. I’m in Montrose , but willing to ride wherever..
  6. How long until some beautification efforts are made to the area in terms of landscaping, trees, etc
  7. I was about to reply that I don’t think Target actually owns that lot, but when I looked up 4323 San Felipe on HCAD’s website....they do! The owner’s registered address is a PO Box in Minneapolis, where Target is headquartered, so I’m putting two and two together. 409,246 sq ft worth $36M!
  8. Certainly a better business plan than selling VCRs.
  9. Does that mean you’re biking in THIS heat?! It’s 99 degrees with a heat index of 109 !! God bless ya!
  10. So is this building going to be 9 stories or 15? I’ve read conflicting reports. I’m willing to bet if this development ends up a success, we’ll see a similar development along the east side Montrose Blvd directly north of the bridge. How’s that for symmetry?!
  11. While you’re certainly right that the land value of Montrose has skyrocketed in the last decade+, Montrose still has a ways to go before it’s considered “high end” from a visual perspective. Sure it’s on its way to getting there with Hanover, La Colombe d’Or, and Montrose Collective, but the two flagship Montrose intersections of Westheimer & Montrose and Westheimer & Dunlavy are far from impressive to the eye. At least as of now.
  12. They should build a Park Hyatt here once it develops some more!
  13. I think I saw you taking pictures of the old house on Portland before it got knocked down LOL Or it was someone else taking pictures...
  14. Does Rice plan on making this area strictly commercial or will there be residential too?
  15. Hard to believe that The Susanne apartment complex in Montrose was a Fiesta not long ago. How times change. This transformation will be even more drastic.
  16. The elephant in the room is this — what will happen to our Shipley Donuts?!
  17. Good point. The area around The Ion, though, seems more extreme. It was literally one of, if not THE MOST, unattractive corners of the city up until last year. It was essentially Houston’s very own version of E. Hastings Street (Vancouver) or Hamsterdam (The Wire reference).
  18. With this development turning a dilapidated area into what many hope it will become, are there other examples in Houston where something similar happened? For example, was Rice Village or Highland Village ever considered a seedy part of town? We’ve seen the inverse before (Sharpstown in the 80s), but I can’t think of any other revitalization examples.
  19. Given where land values are going with this development, you’re far more likely to see a Central Market here than an Aldi’s.
  20. Did the opening of The Carter have a significant effect on Grand Prize’s business? Kam’s AKA Bamboo has terrible food. No idea how they stay in business.
