Yeah, 7677 corporation search comes back with about a dozen entities, all tied back and interwined with these people and these addresses (some with a medical/veterinary leaning):

Some are investors no doubt. Ashton lives in the Heights and knows tons of people in the business so I'm sure he knows these guys very well if he's the agent on all of their work.

It reminds me of the Hibernia Bank in New Orleans that always seems to be the backdrop for many Bourbon St photos.

Bump.
Happy Hour at King Biscuit tonight after work. Food and drink specials with live music starting at 7pm.

Growing up in Canada all of our shopping carts were all locked to each other and the way to unlock them was to stick a quarter into the slot and that released the lock. You go about your merry way using the cart for groceries, then when you returned the cart out popped your quarter. This was good for a couple of reasons: one it kept many carts on site and those that happened to be taken offsite (way less of a problem than it is here in the US) were eagerly picked up and returned by local teens who wanted the quarters. Second reason, it did a fantastic job of keeping the carts from stacking up in the parking lots and being blown into cars. The carts were returned to those parking lot containment areas so there weren't any errant carts floating about in the area. Or if there were, see #1 above. It amazes me down here to see empty carts sitting 10 feet away from cart return stalls. I bet if there were a quarter in that cart the lazy folks would walk that 10 feet.

Rebels Honky Tonk is having their "soft opening" tonight - August 13.
I'll be sure to miss it. Giddyup.

Been to each locale many times. Love the park. HP seemed design deficient in my opinion. West Ave seems to be getting the whole 'build 3 blocks' concept correct. But the HOB is doing well, and I do enjoy that spot, plus the bowling and dueling piano bar will help make it a decent entertainment destination.

tamale factory has a sign "moved to x address" on the door. i'll look next time i go by unless someone else posts it first.
Its their other downtown location. Been open maybe a year or so?

For those wanting to know which cities have a good bike infrastructure I grew up in Calgary and we had bike paths everywhere through every neighborhood. And this was a city that was only about 900k population at the time and can build sprawl with the best of them. But it was easy to bike from the outer edges of the city into downtown without having to be anywhere near a busy (or torn up) road. They did a good job of building a biking infrastructure from the beginning even for a city that only has a few months of decent biking weather per year.
-
The owner said they have a place on Houston Ave close to Dharma Cafe, but they need to build it out and that will take some time. Maybe towards year-end. They mentioned possibly getting a taco truck in the meanwhile until the new place is done, but its just an idea and hasn't progressed beyond that.

so, lance feagan (glasswall) and the guy from belvedere are opening a sandwich/burger place in the texas tamale factory building. i believe they do "plan" on selling wine or having a wine aspect to the place. of course, ask lonnie allsbrooks about "planning." LOL. anyway, i see that as a welcome addition to the hood since i imagine they will have better hours than dacapo's.
Thats what I heard too, although I didn't realize Lance was involved. Talking to the Tamale folk prior to them closing down, they said that site used to be a gas station or quickie mart that sold beer/wine on site so whatever the magical distance is away from schools, they apparently have it.

i heard that the shuttles stopped running even though there were tons of people still around. I know some people who had to walk from 19th all the way to near onion creek. Apparently they couldn't get a shuttle, this was around 9pm I think.
The shuttles were running till 10pm, albeit you were lucky to actually find one that had room on it. We caught a shuttle on 19th right around Carter and Cooley with 6th St Bar and Grill/Onion Creek area being our final destination (and where our cars were parked) at around 9:55pm. Bet you can guess what happened next. We traveled a whole block down 19th and the bus driver kicked us all out. His shift was over and he wanted nothing to do with the passengers anymore. So his bus was emptied and he went home leaving about 25 people standing on 19th trying to figure out alternative ways to get to their destination. Last year the shuttles were busy, but there also seemed to be way more alternative means of transportation (more pedicabs and motorized pedicabs). We walked from Fitzgeralds all the way up to Berryhills before seeing any type of transportation device. Mind you, it was a nice walk, complete with an extended stop at the St Arnolds free beer tent. Recommendation for people next year: bring a big cup with you. St Arnolds was giving beer away in tiny plastic cups. I had a jumbo cup with me and they freely filled it up for me. Twice.

Just drove down White Oak and saw out of the corner of my eye, a bungalow that appeared to be in the middle of a renovation with a big sign out front advertising a dessert place. I just caught a glance of it, but it was something "fatz" I think. It was right around White Oak and Cortlandt. Yummy!

Thanks so much for putting The Kinks song into my head so early this morning. It will rest there and the chorus will churn in my brain for the next several hours. "L-O-L-A Looooooola"

Our first house was a couple of doors down from Michaux in the Woodland Heights and it wasn't that bad trafficwise except for the primary commute-to-work times. After people go to work, it really quieted down a lot and same for in the evening. Weekends seemed fairly quiet too. Although Michaux is often used as a cut-through to get to Norhill, its still pretty much a street used by residents of the area. My biggest gripe about Michaux were those random cars that had their stereo too loud or were going too fast. But they certainly weren't the norm and can probably happen on any street.

They've been doing a lot of work on the inside and the front sidewalk area lately, so I'm assuming that it got the go ahead.
On an unrelated note, I just noticed them putting up a sign for Bedrock City Comics where the physicians office used to be on Washington (same shopping center as Citizen Lounge).
It seems like an odd fit on Washington, but who knows?
uh-oh. The kid in me just smiled and knowing the adult in me, I'll be dropping by for back issues of XMen.

Agree with Emme. For our rental we just posted a sign in the front and had lots of people driving by picking up the info sheet. Had it posted on Craigslist and the Chron as well, but most of the interest was from people driving around the area looking for signs.

I keep hearing people talk about the Heights so I finally got around to driving through last weekend. For reference, we drove up Heights Blvd from I-10 to 20th, took 20th to Rutland, went north on Rutland almost to 610, cut over to Yale and drove Yale all the way back to I10. I saw some nicely restored homes, but also many run down places and small apt complexes. There were a couple of coffee shops, a couple of antique stores and a few bars but nothing that seemed out of the ordinary for other neighborhoods of similar age and location. We stopped at the Kroger on 20th and it was fairly shabby.
I don't intend this to be a put down of the Heights, but we didn't see anything particularly special about the area. Can someone enlighten me? Did we drive down the wrong streets? Why does the Heights seem to be so popular vs other inner loop neighborhoods?
Take a drive down Bayland on a Sunday morning. Or better yet, bring your bikes. One of the more beautiful streets in the city.

Its me actually. The Baron is the frog mascot. I started it in the fall as a social excuse among friends and now its grown into a social excuse among many. Is it real? Yes and no. I send out semi-regular emails via Facebook to all that are signed up there and we do happy hours, pub crawls, bbq's, crawfish boils etc. Just register on the FB page to get emails. Do we make beer? Nope, just enjoy it. I'm out much of July but am planning a gathering for White Linen plus a big party for Labor Day. Would like to do a happy hour in July as well but we'll see. And maybe (big maybe) even a weekender on Lake Conroe if the timing works out on that one.
Now that its listed on HAIF I need to tuneup the webpage a bit...its kinda scattered much like my cranium.

Did this one somehow squeak by the masses or have I been oblivious and missed a few things.
Intermodal Terminal, now called Burnett Plaza scheduled to break ground fall 2009?

This sounds vaguely like a "debate" I had on another HAIF post sometime last year, where I was told I deserved to have things stolen out of my car because the door was unlocked. It was a hypothetical argument based on common sense vs reality. In fact, I've never had anything stolen from my car nor do I ever keep it unlocked, but the idea surrounding law abiding folks putting themselves in situations where they could be victimized created quite a stir as I recall....

The financial issues of today are a result of policies from the past 8 years. The banks overspent, so did the US. The past 8 years was like giving a kid a credit card. Unfortunately, the next generation is having to pay for it.

That sounds nice (hopefully they will be open during normal hours). Isn't that area dry though? I'm also concerned about the parking across 11th street. There isn't much parking available at the brazilian arts foundation. I hate having to park in that lot over behind someburger (it just looks like a place to have your car broken into). Since the capoeira and samba classes take place during dinner hours, that could create some havok i'm sure.
Assuming they will renovate and depending on how that is, they could easily hold 10+ parking spots onsite. I suspect they will get a fair amount of business simply from residents walking to the location as it really is central to a good residential population. I hope they put a bike rack out front.

I can go to Messina Hof and buy wine at the winery, so I should be able to go to St Arnolds and buy beer at the brewery. Attention politicians: this is not rocket science.

I've been two or three times and enjoyed it. The quality was very good, although I found the portions to be minimal. I suspect there is more to this story than printed here. If food quality hasn't been consistent, why promote the sous-chef? Or am I missing something? Ego's may have clashed. I love the idea of Bedford and hope whatever model it becomes will flourish. The only reason we didn't go regularly is because it was hard to justify a $40 bowl of gumbo. Mostly it was the drinks that really made the bill hefty at the end of the night. If you avoid the drinks, you could get a nice 3 course meal for $50 or $60, which I think is reasonable for an upscale restaurant.
