    Bummer. They have a great bar/happy hour. But on the other hand, I don't think I've ever seen them close to capacity for a space that size.

    Clearly someone wasn't a certified forklift operator.

    HHA Property. There is a thread on it here: https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/47370-standard-on-the-bayou-multifamily-91-jensen-dr/

    The parking garage spirals are really doing it for me.

    All hail pizza-bot.

    Can confirm. I often walk the east end bayou trail out towards Lockwood and the water color had been so nice. It's always great to walk along the bayou and watch the herons hunting.

    Mmmmmm, grits.

    Yeah, they already do with the garage over Creme de la Creme. Those who are willing to pay quite a rate for there. The rest fight for those STCL spots. There are a lot of students at STCL. The real solution here is to build a garage over that whole city block they own, but...alas.

    Two are recently shuttered Underbelly concepts (One Fifth and Hay Merchant/Georgia James). Yeah, the lease was up...I'm sure it will get fenced off and turned into something soon. Another is a link for Handies+Douzo which is in the heights and open, so unsure what that is supposed to be. My guess is the Reddit OP doesn't follow the Houston restaurant scene and recent closures.

    There has been a fair amount of utility work in the area recently that I presume is part of the roundabout project as it was being performed on all four sides. Hopefully the project is on its way.

    Finn Hall finally caved. Open on weekends (Saturday's only, but it's a start) starting in September: https://houston.eater.com/2022/8/24/23319934/houston-downtown-food-court-finn-hall-expansion-openings

    Def Leppard, Montley Cru, Poison, and Joan Jett and MMP. Crowds started coming EARLY for that.

    What if we turned an old mall into a high-speed rail station?

    You can get literally 10 tacos at Taconazo for $20. Or a combos with multiple tacos and sides for under $20. Last time I went I was...far from sober, along with 2 friends, and $20 fed us easily. Or here is one for sit-down restaurants: Candente's "feast" and grill combo options come in at <$20 a head. Sure, they are $36-$114 for the "feast" but they feed 3-6 easily. The list of other places is long, but I do not feel like derailing this thread further.

    I'm so confused. Where do you eat? There are plenty of local places (let alone food trucks) where you can feed 2-3 people for $20.

    The strangest thing is how this has gone through multiple administrations to no avail.

    SoDoSoPa v CtPaTown all over again.

    "Tout Suite *SODO*" I can't possibly roll my eyes harder.

    Oh man, I haven't had Thundercloud since I moved from Austin in 2009. That needs to be remedied.

    It makes way more sense for the rail line to be on the boundary of the project, as opposed to through the middle of it. That said, it seems like the lot is a bit too small for all those buildings. It looks lovely though and I'm all for more dense projects, so fine by me.
  21. JBTX
    Unless these buildings are tiny, does this plan imply that the ROW in the middle of the project is the existing (and very active) rail line? If so, does that mean that Phase 1 is abutted against the Gas Station and Subway? Hard to imagine that this would all be fit between Navigation and the rail line.

    No HEB.

    Pretty sure it's fine, just the same as bars have parking lots.
  24. JBTX
    Demo equipment has been removed, but the brick structure remains (perhaps for good). Demo rubble and stray trees have been cleaned. Archcon trailers on-site. Guess they are full speed ahead now.

    Y'all, STCL is never going to get rid of their parking, sorry. The students have nowhere to park. The two tiny lots aren't enough for even a third of the school's students. Attempts have been made to get the board to approve the construction of a garage on the faculty lot, which is much bigger, but it routinely gets dismissed. We'll all be deep in the cold, cold, ground before STCL gives up those lots.
