Speaking of, is the plan to pair the ped signals to provide safe synchronized crossing of both Bagby and Smith on foot and bike? If not, this project was an absolute waste.

What French inn is long since gone?
Not inn. Rather salon/ballroom.

Nice but looks so similar to neighboring Hanover. A little strange to have this be the site of a classic French inn too.
It's actually jarring in how little it resembles its immediate neighbor.
And the French inn is long since gone.

Have we chosen a name yet for this area of Midtown? I miss the days of Swamplot.
I'll start.
SoMid--that's South Midtown. Or SoMid(dle of the road and uninspired and full of transients that are being heralded as the new urbane Houstonians but stay less than a year and have trash tastes)

It seems like just about every storefront on that stretch of Richmond between the spur and Montrose Blvd is vacant, and I have a feeling it’s due to the crummy conditions on the Wheeler side. Once that area improves, I think this pocket of Montrose will also explode.
This isn't true, though. Look for D&Q (Houston's best beer shop), Ono Poke (Houston's best poke), Foelber Pottery (a goddamn institution), Chapultepec, BCN, etc. Appearances are deceiving. This is the Houston I love quite frankly. The Houston that's a little less obvious (and, sure, slightly unkempt) but rewarding.

Empire could update their menu, but other than that, Boomtown is just "fresh", modern decor, and located at the corner of cool and coolsville.
Personally I'd like to see an Agora-vibe place open up. Slightly artsy, chill, and can take it from day to evening.
Boomtown Heights was once a spelunker's paradise! It felt like taking respite in a cave! The gray, textured walls, the pervasive damp, the dim lighting, the lingering smell of smoldering cigars next door.

Most stores in ROD are boarded up, with more happening as we speak (restaurants still open though). Lots of stores in Highland Village also boarded up. I wonder how long they'll stay that way?
Hopefully forever. Fingers crossed.

Unless synchronized, peds/bikers will still find themselves marooned on a narrow strip of land between signal cycles.

@Avossos Can Harrisburg Blvd underpass serve as a template? It's such a dynamic and colorful experience as one traverses the space.

Hawthorne St. Improvements

The scale and scope of these projects has me feeling like the entire Montrose grid is under construction. It's been a real headache. And for mere lipstick. These asphalt covers will be rollercoaster rides yet again next year.
