    Uptown Park: Shopping Center At 1121 Uptown Park Blvd.

    in Uptown and Galleria Area

    FYI...it turns out Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is taking over the ENTIRE plaza next to Crave...so that is the former spaces of My Fit Foods, the dress shop AND the former Starbucks!!! wowsa...well at least they will be keeping the little animal park as it will be a good fit for all the kids going to get ice cream (and cupcakes next door!)

    They have completely demoed the inside of all 3 spaces and are beginning the buildout.

    well yesterday i walked over to see it up close....as i approached the signage looks amazing and all the windows facing Westheimer and towards Oceanaire etc...and the large covered patio they have created facing west complete with suspended heaters. It looks really awesome... BUT then as i get closer and take a look over the green fencing surrounding the whole project, i see that the inside is still basically an empty drywall shell...i am thinking this will be a mid to late summer opening now but we shall see!

    Went Saturday at noon...downstairs and upstairs were both open when i arrived. we had about 1 hr wait so we ran over to Present Company for a bit. Waitress was super nice and fun! My buddy had the salmon and it was a HUGE double portion...we go out to eat often and he orders salmon everywhere and again, it was twice the size here. He loved it. I had the crab cakes which are wayyyyy more crab than breading so that was awesome! love the hushpuppies as well.

    I wanted to get the bread pudding so bad it was about to kill me but seriously, the portions were so large that all that food was about to kill me too haha ;)

    anyway...super cool place and highly recommended...it was indeed VERY busy so i will go back once it slows down just a bit! (and love the big screen being up...they were showing baseball when i was there)

    on their instagram they have some really great photos of the inside and have been tagged in quite a few photos as well...

    i am so happy they kept the stair case and upper level AND the big movie screen! 

    it looks super cool and exactly what i was expecting if not even better 

     

    @acmeoyster (they do not have a specific houston instagram (yet) but the latest posts are all houston related and watch their story as right now it's filled with houston greatness!)

     

    WestMont: Mixed-Use Development Coming To Montrose

    in Going Up!

    Posted

    It is just CRAZY to see that whole space leveled! Drove by yesterday and man Montrose is really evolving at a fast pace...

    it was so fun too to see lots of people at Nidda Thai and Voodoo Doughnut (complete with employees out front waving everyone in) and seeing the work being completed at ACME seafood (and the huge ACME up on the tower) and then see the new Montrose Collective rising above the surrounding buildings... despite all the changes some see as good or bad, it was really awesome to see Montrose buzzing and it made me happy 🙂
