    I think the renderings insinuates that the those parking spaces in your post will be replaced by the patio the others have posted. Small but still better than nothing.

    Are there been any updates on this property?

    Doves' previous Instagram account is no longer available. I noticed the restaurant created a new Instagram account sometime this month. 

    I'm thinking the restaurant may not be moving forward at 5524 Richmond Ave.

    I pass by this building almost everyday for work, its looks like it leased out to a vintage clothing pop up. Every weekend/ certain days there will be a line of teenagers with bags waiting to be let in. Im assuming this is just temporary though.

  3. You can be a religious/ church-goer and still criticize something the church constructs/ designs 😂 you won't go to hell for saying the church's parking lot is ugly... i'm sure god would agree that it is in fact unwelcoming....its literally gated off from the entire neighborhood 😂 its not rocket science. Just because there is a lockable pedestrian gate directly in front of the church's entrance, doesn't make it welcoming... if anything you kind of proved that its unwelcoming.

  4. The sidewalks are legit soo narrow, you have to walk in a single file instead of side by side if you're walking with someone...... I cannot stand this roach mayor. Are we not paying thousands of dollars in taxes for these services? Our infrastructure is legit crumbling.... we can't seem to fix the traffic problem because we're told we just need more roads, the actual roads are pothole infested and falling apart, the side walks are abysmal, we have 3 nice parks in the entire city. Now the mayor wants to budget cut on an extra foot or 2 on wider side walks????

    Can they please do something with the unsightly former Kona Grill restaurant space?! 

    that abandoned outdoor patio is in a sad state and makes the outside look horrible...

    i always said it would be the perfect place for a Common Bond or similar so access in the mall but also easy walk up access for those looking for a coffee or quick snack, salad or sandwich while on heavy foot traffic Westheimer... (and yes i know there is Starbucks down the street etc...) but this really would be a cool dine in and walk up location in my opinion! 

    I've always wondered why stores with westheimer frontage didn't take better advantage of it. Kona Grill would be a GREAT location for a cafe/ coffee shop, Forever 21 could do more with the exterior design of their store instead of just slapping on "Forever 21" on the building, the Oceanaire could have added a deck the same way Kona grill has one. A lot of missed opportunity honestly. The Galleria really needs to be revamped IMO, not the inside but the connection from the outside/inside (if that makes sense). Anytime I drive by the area, I see a lot of walkers either coming from their hotels, residences, or just going to a neighboring restaurant. The mall itself, feels extremely suburban in a sense that almost all entries are extremely far from the street (except 2 points I know), and you have to go through a sea of parking with angry/impatient drivers mad that they can't find parking. There's a lot of empty spaces in/around the mall, they should find a way to connect the mall with the surrounding area/community to make it easier to get into the mall. 

     

    Also I know someone will try to be a smart ass and mention that parking will still be needed, etc, the mall can legit expand their garage/ build a new garage, there's no need for a mall that size/density to still have surface parking.

  6. According to this website https://mmgrea.com/houston-4q23/  (@urbannizer shared in another thread) this lot is in the planning stages for a residential building, expected construction start date is 06/01/2024. I'm not sure how reputable this is, but thought I'd just share and get the conversation going. (also, couldn't find an existing thread for this lot, but if there is, please feel free merge)

    Wow I dropped my LA Fitness membership because they closed the Med Center location on Holcombe actually they got ran out 😵‍💫

     

    I'm now with Lifetime.

    The good/bad thing is it won't be finished for another year, so at least you can enjoy the lifetime membership for another year 😂

  8. The gym space will now become an LA Fitness! It could either be their signature club or just a regular club. LA Signature clubs are way nicer, but since there is already a signature club not too far on Richmond, I'm assuming this will be a regular club. Either way, a win.

  9. I read that the cap parks in Austin will be paid by the city of Austin but mostly UT. If all goes accordingly, their cap park will be about 17 acres. I know we're in a similar boat, but I feel like we have a lot of big donors in this city (think memorial park). So I really hope some of them will step in and help foot the bill to make our little cap parks outstanding.

    In terms of the potential cap parks themselves, this would be a huge opportunity to create something completely unique to Houston on potential thee most prime lot in all of Houston. 

    Very wishful thinking, but imagine if the convention center could eventually make a connection from discovery green to the potential cap park. 

    Extremely wishful thinking, the park could look like this. In a city that gets this hot, we definitely need more interactive water features (the one in discovery green is way way too small for how packed it gets).
