  1. now that this whole development has just been freshly painted, can we finally get something good located here? https://www.crexi.com/lease/properties/400077/texas-5002-5026-westheimer-rd
  2. haha i could have posted this exact post word for word... ๐Ÿคช
  3. driving past this morning while still dark, you could see the ground floor of all the building lit up and it seems about 75 percent is unoccupied...they need to just add a retail and/or restaurant element to these...there were rumors for awhile that a popular independent cafe/restaurant chain was eyeing the old Tommy's space...so that would be a good start. It will be interesting to see their ideas and what developments come about
  4. honestly i thought it was some new name or play on words... wine 2 wheat wine 2 barley drink to wheat looks like a glass of wine, the number 2 then wheat or barley haha
  5. good lord....sounds like another excuse but glad no one was hurt...this is taking forrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! I saw my post up there in Jan 2021 saying good news it is being remodeled haha!
  6. this was big news on Channel 2 yesterday and i am so excited...so at least starting next year for 10 years we will have lit bridges...really love them so i am happy this is finally being taken care of. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2023/09/19/city-of-houston-plans-to-fix-the-lights-on-the-montrose-bridges-over-highway-59/
  7. dear lord that is THE best news ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that small barbie sized sidewalk on portions of Memorial are a freaking hazard with pedestrians and bikes and pets and bushes all sharing it!!! this is great news....bring it!!!!!!!!!!
  8. did the trifecta this morning with my best friend leaving to Rome this afternoon to film a movie ๐Ÿคฉ... Empire Cafe for eggs, bacon, Italian toast and a granita, then Brasil to see my buddy Bucky for coffee....then we went to Agora for a gingerbread cookie (for later i promise ๐Ÿ˜‡ )... anyway, walked past Barcelona Wine Bar and it looks beautiful outside and inside too...lots of workers inside doing final touches...they just got their permits and are hiring staff and starting training next week so looks like an mid October opening they said!
  9. wow amazing photos @hindesky and they are really moving on this project!
  10. thank goodness...that constant moisture has ruined all the ceilings/panels around that rink...always looked so horrible. so this is needed!
  11. I love me some Superica and since i have friends that work at 200 Park Place, i am at the building often and see the progress weekly...i really love the look of this building with all it's glass and cool little walk up window! I am excited about Little Rey.
  12. Balboa Surf Club looks 100 percent done inside and out. I am betting it opens next month. (looks pretty nice too!) and just fyi, the chicken at Nando's is awesome but the brussells sprouts are AMAZING...wowsa. I have been about 4 times and always a good crowd too...the place is blowing up
  13. you wish is my command...opening in just over a week: https://moihouston.com/
  14. Second story with views or rooftop patio please!
  15. Just FYI: Nando's opens next monday August 7th! (photo from their google listing)
  16. just an update, Nandos is turning out to be a really fun and cool edition to this plaza with a much needed exciting look...hope the food lives up to the design! it really is breathing life into what i think is a very ho-hum plaza in terms of offerings...(except K & Z!). ps...i am very angry with @hindesky for not posting a photo update yet...and yes, i know, i can take my own dang photo of the place but it wont look as good as theirs...so yes..i am angry. ๐Ÿ˜‘kthxbye
  17. while they are at it, can they just add a rooftop patio...that would be awesome...
  18. Nando's Peri Peri is hiring...i am guessing they will be open next month! https://www.nandosperiperi.com/find/post-oak/ (the inside looks 90 percent finished and they have painted the outside columns to match their south african theme...the fans and lighting are also already up on the outside area and the place looks cool in my opinion) Honestly i wasn't that excited about it but the menu looks pretty good to me...i will just subtract the chickpeas on anything that includes them haha: https://www.nandosperiperi.com/menu/
  19. eek...in other news i highly recommend Nails Of America in this plaza if i haven't said it already haha ;)
  20. i LIVED at Royal Oak and was so sad when they closed it...that place really had everything i needed. cool vibe, great staff and large patio front and back....then.... this crap ๐Ÿคฎ and did you see that they were so lazy that they put the malibu sign OVER the present company sign and you can still see the old name/wording etc...good lord ๐Ÿ˜‘
  21. uh oh @Triton is in trouble ๐Ÿ˜œ haha https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/galleria-street-signs-rings-18184379.php but yay us at HAIF ๐Ÿคช
  22. yes...VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY sad it no longer looks like a substantial structure and does not resemble a hovering ufo...darnit! i guess the old design was either going to be too expensive or too heavy? but at night it does look better than the day time like was commented previously...at least...
