  1. Unless of course, you consider a sidewalk a right of way. I do. The Planning Commission sent me an e-mail with details of what they'll propose. I'll post it when I have access later.
  2. Does it really matter which faceless corporation is running the Starbucks operation? They're all Starbucks.
  3. The PDF now shows Chipotle proposed instead of Torchy's. I hate both.
  4. He's still kinda new. He used to be in the space across from Feast on Westheimer, and was only open limited hours. He moved over to W Alabama a little while ago. Haven't been since he moved, but I do like his pasta.
  5. OTC Patio Bar is a bar in Upper Kirby. They just resolved a lawsuit against them and a couple other bars by neighbors complaining they were too loud and rowdy.
  6. Got a great bartender one time I went to Clutch City and a not very good one the other time.
  7. Excellent piece from Houstorian. http://houstorian.org/why-save-the-astrodome/
  8. Well then check my posts, because I was totally opposed to both Walmart and the 380.
  9. Oh silly me, it's Broadstone. Wish there were some comprehensive list of active projects in the city so I stop asking dumb questions.
  10. What's up at the 3900 block of Main, 1 block south of Alabama? Construction underway.
  11. Those all need to be remedied. Unfortunately they're not up for a variance right now, so I doubt anything can be done. Doesn't mean we should keep making the same mistake. Pedestrian access is very important. I'm honestly surprised that sidewalks don't figure in to your historic utopian vision for The Heights.
  12. Every sidewalk should have a usable sidewalk on both sides of the street. Streets are for pedestrians and handicapped too, not just motorists.
  13. Tunnel map https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=208557532588506606958.0004cbcbfdb789c392269&msa=0 I don't know about unparalleled...They can hook to one tunnel.
  14. Here's the issue I saw on Arlington. Nothing prevents someone from just pulling all the way forward to the building, blocking the sidewalk. I think this could be fixed by installing some parking stops at the end of the parking spaces. I talked to Morgan Weber, and he said he'd be willing to do that, if possible. Other than that, these grassy areas just need to be paved and then there's a workable sidewalk that can be used by pedestrians, handicapped, etc. I wrote to the Planning people with conditional support for the variance based on those items.
  15. So in fact you do believe in celebrating form, just so long as it's the forms you approve of.
  16. He's got a pretty arrogant way of putting things. He should put all statements out through a PR pro and not grant interviews. This doesn't really make me want to start going to games again.
  17. He's trolling you because of what he perceives to be your own hypocrisy, I don't think he actually opposes the variance. "Kcking a small business (or home) owner in the pants in order to celebrate form over substance" is exactly what the Historic District does.
  18. I took a look and talked to Morgan Weber and I am satisfied if some parking stops are installed on the spaces fronting Arlington.
  19. Variance was approved for Town In City, but Coltivare is still waiting.
  20. Except when they aren't. Which is the whole point of requesting a variance.
  21. Majorca now offering hookah. Hmm.
  22. Thinking about opposing this one. I think I'll go take a look in person.
  23. NoMo is North Montrose. I think Culturemap has used it.
