Does anyone know any tennis courts in or near midtown? Preferable free and no memberships. Thanks

I hope this isn't too off topic, but I thought this was a cool photo of the TMC, only a few blocks from the proposed construction.

very nice.

tell me what you guys think

That's what I was thinking.

maybe someone should call chipotle corp. and pitch it to them

maybe a chipotle? or which wich

i can easily see a Robeks or Smoothie King going in the first floor. what do you guys think?

i wish mr. jax would post more of his pics around midtown

can someone please call greyhound and suggest them to sell the land?

It's real brick... with white stucco-like accents.

I didn't realize both upper levels would be 24 hour fitness until today's Chronicle article... how are they going to put a pool on an upper level? Personally, I was hoping for more retail... hopefully they get some good tennants for the first floor.

care to share this chronicle article? thanks

do escalators work in the rain? how about the ones in las vegas?

I work for one of the tenants in the HCC building across the street. As far as I can tell, the CVS was built for the residents living east and north along Elgin. A sandwich shop in there would be very welcome as the only thing in the HCC building is cafe Neo, staffed by HCC culinary arts students. Cali is just across the street to the west but something like a Subway would do a bang-up business, at least for the lunchtime crowd.

There is a Subway at Holman but walking there can be scary at times.

how is the food at Neo Cafe? do you know the menu? hours of operation? thanks

I mentioned that would be a cool a long time ago, and although doubt it would happen, I think it would be awesome. It would give all of us Rice/UT/Baylor/UH/etc students a closer place to get our Apple fix than the Galleria! I would definitely go to an Apple store downtown over the Galleria any day.

i agree. i bet a large percentage of midtown residents use apple computers compared to the rest of the Dell using houston residents.

how do we get this replaced? whoever is responsible for this is an idiot and incompetent with their job. i mean, how hard is it to be match what is already on file? what should we do now?

looks like the site is now dead. sorry for your losses

someone told me an Apple store is coming to downtown. This is the only place where i can see them opening up. any word?

can we get together and do something about the homeless problem? i am sick of it.

when will this project get started? i am pretty excited about it. should clean up the area.

any idea how this place will look? how big is the complex in stories?

i'm sure the cinder blocks will go.

are we sure that a 24 hour fitness will be here? or is it still speculation?

what do you guys think? do you like what they did to the garage? the random colored blocks.

Not to the thousands that live in the apartment complexes on Bellaire, Ranchester, and Town Park. I see Asians walking and biking all the time all along Bellaire.

honestly, chinatowns are great in cities. it shows the diversity of the population and just a look into another's culture. however, i prefer going to a chinatown as oppose to a chinatown coming to me. my point is: i wouldn't utilize a chinatown shopping center on an everyday basis but i would use a shopping center with a wine bar, multiple restaurants and just random stuff. i purchased property here because i knew midtown is gonna be the next big thing, not little saigon.

i'm surprised people are disappointed about this project because it involves tearing down some outdated shopping center. you obviously have bad taste in neighborhoods and should consider moving to the east side of houston. midtown isn't the place for you.

Too bad on the Asian Shopping Center. I want Houston to have an urban Asian-district like in Toronto.

ummm. most of the asian shopping centers are rundown like this one. why do you care for them? they are an eyesore

is it possible crosspoint properties staged this "Mix at Midtown" project so it makes the area look better. Therefore tentents are more willing to sign a lease at their current project (24hour fitness building). Seems like a good stradegy. Just seems kinda fishy since there are no renderings.

is there anyway we can just kill this topic? i think we all can agree that randall's is not going anywhere right now. and frankly, i hate logging in to haif and checking out the midtown section so i can hear about how fresh the produce is. isn't there any other news here?

What does this have to do with Midtown? Isn't it going to be in the East End?

are you kidding me? midtown wouldn't be ____ if it wasn't for the fact that it is surrounded by downtown, river oaks and montrose. the third ward border is midtown's weak point. so any development (i.e. townhomes, retail or hotels) is good by all means.
