    Wasn't a big fan of their beer but a lot of good folks worked there. Hope the staff lands on their feet.

    Moving along. Retention pond is now reinforced with concrete. That wooden privacy fence is extremely close to the trail, just inches away.

    Stopped by last Saturday and was really impressed. It was PACKED and my neighbor said Sunday was the same. I had the wings which were just okay but the drinks were great. Good selection of bourbon behind the bar. They're having their grand opening party on Friday https://www.instagram.com/p/C4berCPsBEp/?hl=en

    Another reminder of how thankful I am to have discovered HAIF šŸ¤£

    The site seems much more responsive than before the maintenance. Thanks!

    Siding repair and exterior painting is complete. Hopefully windows will be coming in soon. Fun to see this building be restored šŸ„°

    Looks like Whitmire is trying to kill this project... https://www.fox26houston.com/news/houston-mayor-calls-for-termination-of-controversial-east-side-housing-project

    Correct, the new build on the lot is a duplex with the detached garage apartment remaining. Three dwelling units but I wouldn't call it a triplex since it's two separate buildings.

    Yeah, they've been up at Post for two weeks or so. I know this because I got ripped off for a dollar by the machine that turns your dollars into tokens to operate the machines šŸ˜’ The toys are much more expensive than I expected. I think some were as high as $6 for a single "turn". Sending thoughts and prayers to all the parents out there who will lose a small fortune as your child begs for tokens to try to get the toy they want.

    I drove past today and noticed the strip mall at I-45 N and Woodridge was vacated with signs up indicating an HCC Southeast expansion was in the works. Looks like the majority of this shopping center will be demolished to make room for a new welcome center for the campus and the Challenger Learning Center. https://www.virtualbx.com/bid-bulletin/new-challenger-learning-center-southeast-campus-houston-community-college/ https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/challenger-learning-center-hcc-houston-18184101.php

    Here's an updated link https://www.scarletcapital.com/developments/eastwood-home There was a (presumably unsuccessful) attempt by Eastwood residents to get this project's permit rejected, among other legal maneuvers. This is Eastwood's Ashby High Rise evidently šŸ¤£

    Well this is interesting!

    Not to thread derail (pun intended), but as someone who has yet to ride the Silver Line, I just looked it up and these two stops are 0.2 miles apart -- wild!! You could eliminate both stops and still have just a 15 minute walk between the Westheimer and San Felipe stops.

    The Magnolia Fund has announced that they're under contract at 6600 Harrisburg. The Magnolia Fund is an investment fund looking to build entrepreneurial opportunities for East End residents while maintaining the neighborhood's culture. They plan to redevelop the three buildings on this lot for food entrepreneurs while also providing meeting and entertainment space. If successful, I think this project could spur a lot of development in the blocks around the Cesar Chavez stop on the Green Line. There are some really cool buildings with minimal setbacks throughout this stretch of Harrisburg that could activate the pedestrian space along the rail. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/6600-Harrisburg-Blvd-Houston-TX/20187877/ https://www.instagram.com/p/C1xVuBQOWao/?img_index=2

    Already a HUGE improvement

    Figo Sugo's baked goat cheese is one of the best bites I had in Houston in 2023. I have HIGH expectations for the little caboose .

    I spoke with the owner and confirmed this is an expansion for them and not a replacement for the Ironworks location šŸ˜
  23. EastwoodEnvoy
    I hope this is an expansion for Segundo. I'll really miss them in Ironworks if they're leaving that spot!

    Really exciting news. The BBQ tenant for this development will be Willow's BBQ. Willow and his wife were pitmaster and head chef at J Bar M when it first opened. They've had a largely successful food truck and pop up for years and have built up quite a following. This will be a real destination restaurant for Eastwood that I'm confident will stand toe to toe with the top BBQ spots in Houston. https://www.instagram.com/p/C1m1i1_JChI/?igsh=OHg0bnQxZjBuNXdw

    Looks like the Near Northside community is organizing to try to stop this project or at least heavily modify its current design in collaboration with Air Alliance Houston. https://www.nohardyhighway.com/ Quotes from a letter Air Alliance Houston sent to the Harris County Commissioner's Court
