  1. I read in another thread in the Montrose forum that this part of the spur next to the church will be trenched underground. Is there any truth to that? That would essentially connect the Ion area to Montrose.
  2. I don’t know if this has already been discussed, but does the South Baptist Church plan on staying in this location next to the Ion? That baseball field area next to the spur on-ramp seems like a complete waste of space.
  3. This would be incredible! Where did you see this? Just imagine what the area around The Ion will look like then. You can walk from there towards Montrose Blvd on Wheeler/Richmond without worrying about getting shanked underneath the spur encampments. Sounds like a dream!
  4. Thoughts on what kind of impact this will have on property values (residential included) in the Montrose area?
  5. The more I think about it, this spot would be perfect for another art studio or museum, similar to the art space directly across Woodrow Street (4411 Montrose). Or, of course, more townhomes. I just don’t see an office building working in this spot.
  6. Cmon you can private message me the details...I’m a ClutchFans BBS ‘01’er
  7. Anyone know what tech company already signed a lease? Did we steal a company away from Austin??
  8. What was where the Menil Collection building is now? Was it just a bigger Menil Park?
  9. West Alabama and Mulberry - love that intersection! Before the Menil in 87ish, what was there? Was Menil Park always there?
  10. If demand is low (i.e. lots of empty storefronts all over Montrose), shouldn’t rent decrease?
  11. Not to mention the entire empty strip of shuttered restaurants further south on Montrose, just south of Richmond. Why can nothing stay open there?
  12. Any bets on when the McDonalds across the street will shut down? I was just at Sweetgreen and saw one of the Sweetgreen employees eating McDonald’s during his lunch break on the Sweetgreen patio. That summed up the state of Montrose right there.
  13. A great spot for retail in the area is the abandoned Museum Florist shop at 5007 Montrose Blvd. I really love the retro look of that brick building. Anyone know when it closed?
  14. According to the Instagram page of the business Glass Cypress, located at 1711 Indiana Street in Montrose, the owners of the store will be "reinventing a shopping experience by reconstructing three blocks on Indiana Street into a mixed-use commercial subdivision. Indiana Street will metonymically refer to a stretch of real estate in the heart of Montrose which will offer over twenty contemporary luxury goods stores." This was posted on their Instagram page, which has 98,000 followers, two days ago. I did some digging on these guys, and they seem to be early 20-something brothers who recently graduated from UH. For their age, they certainly do appear to have deep pockets. I wonder who is funding this...
  15. Will be interesting to see how this pocket of Montrose develops once the tech innovation area next door is complete.
  16. Is this location cursed? Or is something bigger and better moving in?
  17. On a related note, what’s the story with the abandoned house caddy corner from this development at 120 Portland St? It’s in ROUGH shape and has been for a while. I was driving down that street last night and I’m pretty sure squatters live there since I saw one laying out on the stoop. I believe it used to be a restaurant back in the 70s/80s. EDIT: Oh wow, I just read this on the Wikipedia page for none other than Joseph Finger: ”On 6 February 1953, a month short of his 66th birthday, Finger died at his home at 120 Portland Street.”
