apparently the last place inside the loop with lightning bugs is the grassy area between the MKT trail and this development. So... we're probably about to lose the last lightning bugs in the city. that's a bummer.

a new building opening with actual decent-sized cubicles instead of a open office plan is a godsend in 2020.

this is somehow uglier than the decaying bar that is currently on the property. It's a shame something more novel can't be placed here. This lot is essentially surrounded by the most functioning-native greenspace/woods inside the loop (sans memorial park). I am pretty consistently amazed at how many songbirds i see in my backyard a half-mile south of this area.

everything i've seen from Metro has shown the only theoretical BRT stop between the NW transit center and downtown to be between shepheard/durham. I've never seen anything suggesting Studewood.

Modera Washington: Multifamily At 2520 Washington Ave.
crock replied to skooljunkie's topic in Going Up!
its kind of incredible that Oliver Street will be the block in Houston with the most change in 2020. Between this, the Urban South strip, and then the "lower heights" at the top of it. just an insane amount of development over a half mile strip of warehouse district.- 85 replies

City Orchard had little "go this way" signs from oliver->center->national and i was very incredulous when i followed them this weekend, and very pleasantly surprised by this being real, it could literally have opened last week.

The Axe Throwing Place, and the City Cider(which has an absurdly large side-yard (and 2 house-brewed beers on tap+4 housebrewed-ciders and ~8 non-local ciders on tap) are now open. Urban South just posted that they've brewed their first beer in the building as well. they've also connected National Street and added parking lot, so you don't have to take Oliver St which is pretty rough right now

Montrose Collective: Office Building With Retail At 888 Westheimer Rd.
crock replied to trymahjong's topic in Montrose
huh? I am a millennial. Everyone in my friend group lived in Montrose 10 years ago, literally none of them live there now. I will say that @Luminare is right, you can still rent in Montrose affordably, but as soon as you want to buy.... Montrose is meaningfully more expensive than the heights. You can still get decent houses on the eastside of the heights for 400-500k, you're paying 700k+ for that house in the montrose.- 976 replies

Montrose Collective: Office Building With Retail At 888 Westheimer Rd.
crock replied to trymahjong's topic in Montrose
all i see is that it's going to be harder for me to casually get southside coffee on saturday mornings. I'm also really unsure who is going to come here? Montrose has already been effectively priced out for millennials, so it doesn't have the same sort of foot traffic as even areas of the Heights do. Haven't two shops already closed in the brand new strip center across from Uchi already in less than a year?- 976 replies

288 was literally built on top of the house of Jack Caesar after it was firebombed by racists afraid that him moving into Riverside Terrace would cause white flight. "The percentage of the population being white declined from 97% in 1950 to 5% in 1970." If you're including Riverside Terrace as part of 3rd ward (most people do), it was absolutely impacted. https://exhibits.lib.uh.edu/exhibits/show/thisisourhome <- Incredible documentary from the late 80s about riverside terrace and white flight. https://forgottenhouston.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/bombing-on-the-bayou-riverside-terrace-and-jack-caesar/

Can you point me to that plan? their GIS(?) data seriously had the BRT coming down the blocks between houston and hickory? Your map also suggest that a BRT lane would be built through like 2 miles of white oak bayou's greenway/parkland. That also seems less-than-ideal/likely.
-
Huh? I literally live on Hickory and follow all of this closely. I do not believe Triton's drawing actually ties to any reality or anything? I think he's just drawing a cute/easy line from I10 to Downtown for the BRT, but my understanding is the BRT will just take existing highways/HOVs to downtown, absolutely nothing has suggested they will be going to Houston Ave or some imaginary/absurdist line next to Hickory street.

The plan quietly includes the green/purple line extending west to the Courthouse. The lines were already built so that the trains go under i45 and then just sit there to move back to the other side of the track, so the amount of track needed to be built is literally 2-3 blocks. So far there haven't been any meetings or documents showing where the courthouse stop will be. hopefully it'll go up along Lubbock street to be closer for 1st ward/6th ward residents.
