    Does anyone have access to the full addition and could provide us with what tenants are coming to the Pavilions? http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/print-edition/2011/01/07/books-a-million-retains-space.html

    apparently the "new" Drink Houston opened this month...I'm assuming across the way from where it used to be?! Never been...

    Progress photo from today - it looks like part of the first levels of the tower are being renovated as well... Also, noticed the spiral staircase is still in...would be nice if it stays

    It's called Mainstage and I think they're already open at 2016 Main. Their website is leavetheboyfriendathome.com. I'm curious to if they have a dance floor and what kind of music they would play...

    looks pretty nice....most realistic part of the rendering is the lack of the future light rail

    I'm not a sushi person, but my friends really like Zake...and they're open until 11:30 on weekdays. http://www.zakesushilounge.com/

    Update - as of today, it looks like they're doing a complete shell renovation. The windows have been taken out of the entire portion of the building. I didn't realize how much of that building was for the gym - it looks like they can definitely fit enough amenities in there to make it a super sport

    I definitely agree - even sans retail I think the place is an improvement nonetheless...now if the rent was just "slightly" lower I could move in

    And it all started with a cell phone tower
  10. houstonartstudent
    Does it go all the way to the corner? Or is there room for a potential parking garage or additional building?

    There's been a sign up for a while that 24 hour fitness will be coming soon...but I can't find any info online. Does anyone have an idea when they plan to open?
  12. houstonartstudent
    I guess it would be good to include a link to the swamplot update a few months ago detailing the renovations... http://swamplot.com/houston-house-ready-for-rehab-tenants-prepare-to-play-musical-apartments/2010-05-27/

    Noticed today that a new crane was up at Houston House...are the exterior renovations beginning?
  14. houstonartstudent
    A comment on Swamplot put it at about 1%...definitely more for looks and PR than anything else.

    are you saying all the people from www.peopleofwalmart.com are hiding at home?....just waiting for a walmart to be built near them so they can display all of their gloriousness?
  16. houstonartstudent
    I believe hotels are exempt...look at the Hilton right next door as an example
  17. houstonartstudent
    It looks like they're keeping the cell phone tower in the middle of the block - I think they should dress it up to look like a mini crown to bring a little bit of Memorial City flare to the area
  18. houstonartstudent
    go to www.historicaerials.com - they have aerial shots as far back as 1957 - it's definitely changed a lot but that's probably the best place to see about any block in particular that you want to see.

    Apparently having a grocery store, small neighborhood gym or other beneficial retail underneath you isn't considered a luxury in Houston Of course it's better than an empty lot but why is it a requirement to have a parking lot in front of every store in Houston? - OK I'll step off my soap box
  20. houstonartstudent
    So does anyone know if this hair cut store was open after Houston Pavilions starting taking off or it has been there for some time? I am really hoping some more retail will open up in this garage... Are you referring to the "Beauty News" salon? I think that's been there for quite a while, at least since I started working downtown two years ago.

    ready for the rockets game tonight :D

    I read your critique and was a little nervous about going Friday during the lunch time. At first, the service was pretty bad. The waiter wasn't very attentive and would only stop by our seats about every 15 minutes. They seem to have had plenty of staff but they need to better organize who works at the lanes and who works around the bar. After a 45-minute wait for some lanes (During Lunch!...luckily we have half-days on Friday) - we were lucky to be placed in the "Luxe" area as the main lanes were full. Once over there, our new waitress was pretty decent...even brought us complimentary root beer floats as we had to change lanes due to ours needing maintenance (It didn't seem like a big deal but hey, why complain?). The remainder of our afternoon was a lot of fun, and I definitely have to recommend the Alley Cat Cosmo to anyone that goes.

    I love how they credit the entire project to Handel Architects when they only designed the one tower and not the countless other buildings...

    make that two bus shelters under the already-covered area!...what is this world coming to?!?
  25. houstonartstudent
    So has anyone seen the cool new bus shelter they installed off of Fannin at the Pavilions? It should really help protect people waiting for the bus from the weather...too bad they placed it under the covered part of the circular walkway that already served that purpose I'll be sure to take a picture soon so you know where Metro's money is going rather than the light rail
