I don't know. Did you read the comments to the blog ? Some of them sounded like HAIF'ers! (Spouting off about the landfill and traffic concerns.)
-
Read this new blog article dated July 16th about the grand opening.
-
Read this article for an update on the Grand Opening festivities planned for the towncenter. Looks like these events will stretch over several days.

Arby's!!!!

scrres, thanks for sharing that blog link! Good stuff.

The Burger King in front of the towncenter opened this week. I just had lunch there. It has a sign that says it is open 24 hours. Not sure if that is just temporary or not. The interior is interesting; it has nice decor that matches the 'theme' of the Pearland Towncenter.

It seems weird that the site plan would show the Red Lobster, yet its name wouldn't appear on the list of restaurants. I'm happy it's coming, though!

Landfill West Of Shadow Creek Ranch
Timnwendy replied to noodlemonger's topic in Coastal Prairie and Bay
Let's not forget the upcoming Waterlight District (located between 288 and Kirby). With all the $$$ the developers are/will be pumping into that project, you'd think they would lend their voice (and funding) to CABRLE and others who oppose the landfill, because that location could be affected also. Who would want to take an expensive boat ride if the air on the river smelled like a sewer? -
Landfill West Of Shadow Creek Ranch

It looks like at least one SCR resident is complaining to the Pearland City Council about the landfill. Read this article for the details. The quote from Mr. Scrutchin is interesting. The article implied he is a salesperson for new homes in Eden Cove, but it wasn't totally clear. -
...more paying patients...that's the single biggest reason they scrapped up the money to build this. Their history of caring for indigents, while admirable, has been killing them financially. This new facility is a somewhat desperate effort on their part to generate some badly needed income. The theory is that a facility closer to Houston will attract patients with health coverage. However, they still need to find a way to counter the problem of their perception as a 'second-rate' healthcare provider. Perhaps this is a step in the right direction in that regard. These opinions are my own, formulated over the 12 years I worked at UTMB in Galveston. Your personal mileage may vary.

Don't know if anybody reported the new website is up, so here is the Pearland Towncenter website.

I must also agree. My building super told me in late 2007 that Pearland & the SoT require 23 different permits/inspections over the course of constructing a new home. Complying with those kinds of codes is not done cheaply, which should keep the low-end builders out. At least that is the theory...

I'm in Southern Trails, just south of SCR. I think my street is fairly representative of ST, and it has a diverse mix. My neighbors consist of 2 asian (Vietnamese-American) families, 2 black families, 1 Indian family, 2 white families, and 2 mixed families (white-asian, white-hispanic). I haven't been living here long, but everyone seems nice (we are all fairly new to the street), and the vibe seems good. I'm optomistic.

Keep your eyes on Summerbloom Lane. It's a stub now, but it is pointed east right at Kirby. Even if it doesn't connect to Kirby, it could connect to another road that might. I think I know that map you are talking about, Wayne G. gave me one too. It shows a new road stretching southeast, beginning at the ST Rec Center/pool and curving over to connect with Kirby. That one seems definite.
-
I see they confirmed that not all of the stores will be opening on 07/30/08. Still, I'm excited. Thanks for sharing the link.

To follow up: we just finished moving into a new Ashton Woods home that we had built in Pearland (Southern Trails). We paid quite a bit more for it than we would have with one of the new David Weekley's at Grand Mission. It is hard to put a price tag on intangibles like the extra cost of buying into a more upscale neighborhood. Yet it seems worth it. To each their own, I guess.
-
There is quite a bit of construction, but right now it seems to be infrastructure, not buildings.
-
Sorry...that was my slang for expressing that it was packed when I drove by. Even the Drive-thru window.
-
Don't want to hijack this thread, but...in response to some posts above, the new Taco Cabana in front of the HEB at 518 is open. And the hordes have descended upon it.
-
Hong Kong would be an excellent choice since it's also a major hub in Asia.
-
Hope it works out for you to move to ST, we're always hoping to meet nice neighbors.

Landfill West Of Shadow Creek Ranch
Timnwendy replied to noodlemonger's topic in Coastal Prairie and Bay
There have been some recent developments about the litigation revolving around this landfill expansion, which you can read about here. My layman's opinion: Blue Ridge is making noise about wanting to talk to the other parties opposing their expansion of the landfill, to see if they can reach some kind of accomodation, but it's really just a smoke screen tactic.
