If it's a regular, I offer them a granola bar.

My wife used to have this thing where she always carried those prepacked snack sized bags of baby carrots with her (don't ask).

I remember when we were still students at UH she would offer them to the regulars. The looks on their faces were always priceless. Never understood why no one accepted the baby carrots.

According to The Flying Biscuit Café's, the brunch-forward eatery anticipates opening this fall.

That would be quite bold seeing as the location is currently completely empty.

I walked through here the other day as well. Really liked the throne they made. It has a great view.

Was this on the street right off of Jensen (Bayou Parkview Drive) ? I just went over there to check it out but there was no signage. I can’t quite make out what the Proposed Land Use is and wanted to check it out myself. What does that say? Thank you. 

Yes, this was off Jensen and Bayou Parkview Dr., roughly across from McAlpine. Very odd that it is not there.

Looking at the photo, there is some data loss for sure. The proposed Land Use on the sign says "to create two reserves." Sign is definitely odd.

Thursday through Sunday nights, yes.

Or you could bike. Or take the train. Or walk. But we know what 95%+ of this city prefers to do.

Cars here around 9 pm and the gates are all locked up, so I guess it is overnight.

This will still become a car wash.

OSHA does not like this post.

It is quite steep, and as you pointed out there is an underground culvert next to it, plus a manhole cover at the top, so I'm guessing drainage is through the culvert.

We should ask whoever left the bucket there.

Do Cityliving and Hindesky follow each other around?

With controversial The Langley high-rise approved, neighbors consider legal options

One of the lots (and lumber storage zones) by St. Charles and Garrow has been used as what looks to be a long-term parking lot for a little while now. I don't know how to describe it, but cars go in, get parked, stay for a few hours or overnight, and then leave. Quite a few cars too. Curiously, I have not seen a human "working" there.

Address for the lot is roughly 207 St. Charles St.

Forth has been complete for some time now. Interesting that it's shown as an ongoing project.

Maybe this means they will eventually move to the originally planned phase 2 remodel of Alamo Tamales and the building hosting the Maritime Museum.

Pretty sure that wood is for the current apartments going up. It's going to be a wood frame instead of steel frame.

You're probably right and I should have been more specific as I meant "next phase of the build" as opposed to "next phase of the project." My bad.

Truckloads of lumber are being deposited on site. The whole yard is practically full. I guess we are about to start the next phase.

I don't know if the carwash is still happening, but we're bulldozing today. Sorry about the pic quality, was driving.

Really?  You think that’s a charming look?  If they aren’t needed take them off!

They were closed for three years. Surely, you can understand blocking off your place if you're gonna be gone for three years.

That said, while I don't think they were necessary even three years ago, you gotta imagine the family runs things at a pretty casual pace, given how reticent they were to reopening and all.

Let's see what, if anything, the new ownership will do now that they have reopened before jumping to any conclusions.

I considered asking if JClark's post was sarcasm before posting a list too, ..

That's exciting.  Would be great if East River became a Maritime/Shipping industry hub.  The location on the BB and being home to the Houston Maritime Center certainly reinforces the concept.   Just need to convince my employer to make the move.   

As a customs/shipping attorney officing nearby, I cannot agree more. Centralized base for all!

More renderings of Society, a supperclub / vibe dining restaurant in EaDo. It's currently under construction on Chartres St.
 

Does anyone else feel like they die a little on the inside when they read the term vibe dining?

(I know it's not your fault, you are just repeating the term created to describe this kind of stuff).

I personally am in favor of closing main completely to car traffic and opening it to restaurant/walking/light rail traffic, so yes. I do hope the policy stays in place for now.
