market street reports..."Openings scheduled by this fall include Schilleci’s New Orleans Kitchen where diners can enjoy the restaurant’s unique taste of New Orleans with great-tasting gumbo, hearty po-boys and other favorites. Another Market Street newcomer is The Cupcakery, a family-owned business with locations in Las Vegas and Dallas where more than one million cupcakes have been enjoyed." a flying saucer town center location rumor has resurfaced....could be a good sign. although disappointed that a red onion concept did not materialize in the sirenuse' space at 24 waterway, the (fingers crossed) soon to be announced location taker will surely make other suburbs green with envy. a martini bar concept is about to pop up somewhere in town center. an eye witness noticed some official looking "look-see" going on at the old chocolata location across from hubbell & hudson recently. do not know if the two are related, but the location would be great for a non-brew serving type establishment. on the roxx, maybe? shenandoah's portofino center may be getting a spring creek bbq location along with the bj's restaurant & brewhouse currently under construction. alden bridge residents will have a new healthy eatery featuring gluten free menu items, near rico's in the alden bridge shopping center. lest i forget, kita, the new japanese restaurant at 24 waterway is delicious (and beautiful)! the woodlands township recently approved a $25K study for a permanent performing arts location in town center. the waterway marriott is undergoing or about to undergo a multi-million dollar update. the senior living center on the waterway at grogan's mill is topped out....still anxious about the facade. i so hope they don't go "brick"! give me cement, steel, glass or stone please.

walmart at this location will be a big success.....and if it doesn't look like every other walmart, great. (....and yes, i like to do the clicky ratings buttons without explanation. you can't make me talk! some people don't want to get into the mix but want to be a part of it on some level. no need to call them out, it's kinda unfriendly.)

added several historic houston items today. a cousin forwarded several scans of houston places and people recently: pictures include the alabama theater, marvin zindler, 7 eleven, humble oil gas station, blue grass inn/kentucky fried chicken, astroworld, shamrock......thought some of you would enjoy.

ohhhhh der wienerschnitzel! ohhhh der wienerschnitzel! i remember the jingle. does that date me?

please stay on topic. thanks.

moving conversation on downtown lighting to its own thread. this topic is discovery tower specifically. please stay on topic or create a new thread. thanks. existing thread: downtown at night oops, three items are out of place.

topic merged with existing thread on town center.

if you look at the original rendering, there is a "box" with the "E" on it facing dallas. from the rendering, it looks as if the hotel faces dallas rather than the park. check out the picture on the mgmt company's website: http://www.amliberty.com/Projects/tabid/74/Default.aspx

........darn, so i guess we won't be going to mai's after the 80's party in two weeks. any 24 hour vietnamese alternatives in midtown?

agreed, no need to beat a dead issue. (have feeling niche doesn't require much sleep)

town center scores a tiffany & co at market street. bobby chan joins norton ditto in the menswear offerings also at market street. kita japanese cuisine opens at 24 waterway july 1st. on street parking, walkways, trees and streetlights continue to be added on waterway avenue, six pines, lake robbins and timberloch. red onion is out at 24 waterway. flying saucer rumored to have scouted the area, but woodlands not sure if they want another drinking establishment so close to baker street, goose's acre and 24 rio. pure is open on research forest near gosling. hubbell & hudson express to go in new mixed use building across the street. the luxury senior living complex "the village" at the woodlands waterway to open later this year. http://www.bridgewood.us/current5.html i'm anxious to see if the exterior facade looks less institutional than the rendering. i think it's meant to be modern but could go either way.

rumor has it that carlton woods is releasing all "held properties" in anticipation of exxon's consolidation. the new village of creekside park, which includes carlton woods creekside, stands to benefit.
