North Main underpass has been my home for many years so please if you see me with a sign saying :"I fell off the raven tower and am unable to work...please help, anything will do...", then please feel free to donate.
this never happened.

I notice that the cruddy store that was located at the westheimer facing entrance next to cheesecake factory closed and now there are some major renovations going on...if you look at this photo below, it looks exactly like the same location:

update: was treated to birthday lunch at Hopdoddy today! we got there at 1145am and there were like 25 people in line and within 10 minutes a guy walked up to us while in line and said hey there is no wait at the bar if interested! so we all went right in, were greeted immediately, ordered our food and were in and out within 30 minutes! i even got a free milkshake from the bartender because he overheard it was my birthday!
cant wait to go back!

So River Oaks District ( http://www.riveroaksdistrict.com/ ) is supposedly THE place for the best shopping in Houston for those looking for high end retailers...
But I have been going for the awesome iPic theater and now...finally, the restaurants:
The Tuck Room at iPic opened November 6, 2015 and has some pretty good food and atmosphere to boot (and oh yeah, lots of signature cocktails)! and i love the biscuits and butter on the in movie theater menu...addicted to those things! (Which iPic is by far my favorite theater in Houston now...with the cool pod reclining seating and the awesome food menu, to me it is worth the price of admission)
Flow Juice Bar in Equinox opened in Dec 2015!

Hopdoddy the Austin burger and beer sensation just opened May 31st 2016! (lines have been long but i found (and heard from others) if you go at before noon (they open at 11am) or after 3pm but before 7pm or after 9pm (it closes at 10 weekdays and 11 weekends) its not as long a wait...)

the line for Hopdoddy wasnt too bad during non-peak hours yesterday...we got out of a movie yesterday around 540pm and the line was maybe 30 people long...
and i heard later that night it wasnt too bad close to closing time. but cant wait to check it out! i have a feeling the village location will be more busy due to foot traffic and other things in that area...so far ROD is not getting much of that...well...not until Hopdoddy
-
haha well yeah its called GREENstreet so why not put like a pop of green somehow? like a green stripe or perhaps they will do that with some cool signage? but i actually like a monotone look, but yep, a pop of color would definitely draw attention to the building and make it more interesting...maybe....

i went to see a friends band saturday and they played the venue below the tower...it was a fun time...easy parking, good sound and liked the open air aspect of it, etc but for whatever reason the whole feel of the place felt like a temporary setup...i wish i could put into exact words why but just felt like a half completed warehouse that for that night only was having a concert in it haha! the tower was closed i believe so unfortunately i didnt get to check that out! they were testing the lights on the big temporary outdoor stage across the way for the festival that was happening the next day...i wonder how parking and sound was sunday? i will say those apartments and homes really are right on top of this entire development so i can only imagine what parking and the streets are like then and what they can hear when music is playing...yikes! anyway, dont take this as a complaint btw, i love having new choices for music venues and will go check it all out again one day soon!

that would be awesome but im talking about where in the heck are they putting 10,000 sq ft of actual store space unless you are saying they will take that existing seated space and make that store, then extend outdoor seating towards westheimer...then even better question are they going to smartly build a parking garage somehow, someway? maybe above the store haha!?

i do that for every sold out concert i decide to go to last minute...always just have exactly what you can pay in your pocket because trying to bargain with them when you pull out a wad of cash wont help you any! haha! i usually get into HUGE high priced concerts for 20 to 40 bucks! the key is to wait until the event is about to start or is starting...they get super desperate to sell at that time! good luck!
