The new brewery will include a full-service kitchen that will serve pizza and other dishes, a larger taproom for hosting events, and most importantly, room for expanded brewing capacity and production.

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

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

Houston’s first Hispanic archive center moves forward, renewing advocates’ hopes
QuoteA decade after city officials identified the need for a center dedicated to the Hispanic and Latino community, the Hispanic History Research Center is finally moving forward, with early plans calling for its completion in 2026.
A 25,000-square-foot industrial site on the Turkey Bend property along Navigation is currently being retrofitted to house the research center, which will serve to archive historical collections, such as photographs, documents and film, that detail the rich history of Houston’s Hispanic and Latino community.
In December, the city signed a memorandum of understanding with the Buffalo Bayou Partnership agreeing to purchase the property at 5803 Navigation Blvd. and pay for some improvements totaling about $10 million, but only once those improvements are completed.

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

CASE Chocolates will open later this spring at the Plant, the East End mixed-use development that’s home to James Beard Award-winning Thai restaurant Street to Kitchen, coffee shop Eden Plant Co., and Neighbors, a casual neighborhood bar that serves pizza and cocktails. The 900-square-feet location will serve as both a showroom for Case’s chocolates and a speakeasy-style bar.

Looks like Whitmire is trying to kill this project...
QuoteBottom-line - the Housing Authority misrepresented to state and federal agencies not only the size of the tower. But also the so-called potential "fall-zone."
In other words, were it to collapse, the antenna could smash directly into 800 Middle Street.
QuoteLiterally surrounded by toxic ash landfills and a lead contaminated state superfund site, Whitmire views the 800 Middle Street development as a dangerous boondoggle deserving of termination.
"We are doing everything we can, working with legal to see if we could put a halt to it," said Whitmire.

They honestly had a point! ...until Livable Places went into effect on Nov 27 and ADU size limitations went from 900 sq ft to 1,500 sq ft.
Also, I'm pretty sure that this is going to be a duplex and not a triplex.
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 😒 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.
QuoteHouston Community College will begin construction of its own multi-million dollar Challenger Learning Center in August to encourage students to broaden their interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The facility will feature space-themed interactive activities for elementary, middle and high school students to develop thinking skills and teamwork a Challenger Learning Center spokesperson said.

Here's an updated link

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 🤣

(Though the stops that really need to either be eliminated or made optional are the Ambassador Way and Guilford stops on the Silver Line, but that's a separate conversation.)
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.

I'm not sure what Segundo Coffee Labs' plans are for the property. It will be interesting to see what's in store.I spoke with the owner and confirmed this is an expansion for them and not a replacement for the Ironworks location 😁

County records indicate 6865 Lawndale St recently changed hand. A warranty deed was recorded to the county's database today.
According to the documents, Segundo Coffee Lab purchased the Forest Hill property.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.
