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 🙂

Yes great photos!
so between those 2 sets of tunnels that is a deep dig going on...so that is going to be water with a bridge(s) over it then?

I am curious as to what is really going on that curved part of the building facing the corner of Post Oak/San Felipe behind the glass...is it a painting or something else? It would be so cool to have it be a digital marquee like in New York etc...whatever it is, i hope it is cool and doesn't take away from the rest of this awesome building

I can only imagine @Triton! oy! thank you for the update though! hopefully this can all be worked out as this really is becoming such a cool area (and ps...the Justin/Blue October shows went super well even with the new covid/socially distanced rules and set up! such a fun weekend! I will definitely keep an eye out for more shows there)

here is a pretty interesting read about Simon Malls vs Abercrombie:

Interestingly enough, Hollister AND Abercrombie and Abercrombie Kids are all now permanently closed in the Galleria...

They are painting their entire portion of the building red and it definitely stands out!
Looks to be midway through painting a huge logo on the parking lot facing side as well
can't wait to check it all out!

got this email just now:
Dear Loyal Supporters,
Regrettably, after 45 years of bringing Houston the best of art house cinema, today is Landmark Theatres' last day of operation at the River Oaks Theatre. We have been so incredibly fortunate to have made movie memories with you all, from the early days of classics and cult favorites to the Oscar contenders that played for weeks, and those raucous late night audience participation staples THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and THE ROOM.
Thank you for being a friend. Thank you for sharing your personal connections to the River Oaks over this past month. We agree that movie theaters are sacred spaces and we hope that the Friends of the River Oaks can preserve and protect this special place that has brought so much to the cultural landscape of Houston.
It isn't goodbye. In the wisdom of NOMADLAND, we'll see you down the road. When Landmark lands in a new location, if you are on our email list, you better believe that you will hear from us.
Sincerely,
Paul Serwitz
President and COO, Landmark Theatres-

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In my head i was picturing it to be just one tunnel but yeah i just scrolled up to the top here to say oh yeah! it is a 2 part tunnel!!! doh! sorry for the confusion and thanks for clearing that up! Now we just need the flared opening on each end then i guess?
and haha in the picnic loop there is a little baby armadillo that i catch playing near the side of the road periodically! i have never seen it's parents so maybe you can ask your buddy if they have a missing child!!! 🤪

did they finally put in the middle portion of each tunnel? in my head they are leaving the middle for last to keep sufficient light in the tunnels while working before placing the middle portion...
as of sunday on my FIVE hour bike ride ( 🤪 ) the middle portions were still missing to connect the tunnels (ps...yes i am sunburned)

Now what?!?!
I am confused by this? haha! Does that mean they want to sell the building for the same use or a possible new use?
is this a common thing if just selling the place as it to stay a Velvet Taco? (or are those pink columns the downfall after all ;) haha)
