  1. I wonder if the canvass canopy is for that restaurant. It appears to be of the Prince's Drive-In vintage.
  2. Most of the space is common area, seating and food prep, so they've really organized the small grocery area well. I think the downstairs "cellar" is really cool.
  3. That's right. Height was added to the cafeteria floor, overlooking Disco Green, and it's near the bottom. That cafeteria is fancy enough to have a reception or banquet.
  4. Discovery Tower did. It was almost finished by the time Hess signed up.
  5. The strip centers were there long before the high rises. Four Leaf towers and all those buildings, plus Transco were built in the 80. I think Post Oak Central was the 70's.
  6. Here's an article with pictures. http://www.29-95.com/gallery/georgias-market-downtown I'll bet the opening date is a typo, as there are others in the article.
  7. Friday is January 27th, so it must be a typo. The apples certainly won't last that long.
  8. I thought it was a new Comcast sports network. I can't remember where I read about it yesterday.
  9. The produce and some of the coolers are stocked. Maybe they're going to open tomorrow.
  10. $7.00 and includes fries or rings. http://frankspizza.com/menu.html
  11. Frank's Pizza is good, but OMG have you tried their burger? It's one of the best burgers I've ever had, anywhere. It takes a good 15-20 minutes to prepare, so you might want to call ahead. I'm not crazy about the pizza oven cooked fries, though.
  12. I'm not sure, since the BRB has been there 30+ years. But then again, it's a specialty bar.
  13. Okay then, back to the "actual" topic. By city ordinance, panhandlers are not allowed to ask more than once for anything. Believe it or not, they know this and abide by it.
  14. Isn't this supposed to be about Houston Pavilions??? That's why I clicked on it. Oh well.
  15. Yep, it's the Hogg Palace. There is a grass lawn on top, around the penthouse. I remember reading that the bottom floor was once a car dealership showroom.
  16. I wonder how a Barnaby's would do? I'd get fat for sure. On another note, there's some weird bird living in the Rice garage, across the street. I've been hearing it morning and evenings for weeks now. I can't tell by its squawk, but it sure is loud.
  17. They put up their sign yesterday and the shelves are nearly stocked. It looks really cool inside and the items they carry will be interesting to check out.
  18. I tried Frank's site to see if they had any building history like the Treebeards site has about their building - Nope. I was there a couple of months ago. We went straight upstairs to the balcony and ordered drinks, no food. Nice view. I wonder if Berryhill would be interested in moving in. They have better fish tacos anyway.
  19. Not sure why I don't have a reply option to post #2. 20thStDad, BB's is already two blocks away. Cabo had a water line break in the sidewalk last week, so I assumed they were closed because they had no water - guess not. On a positive note, Georgia's, on the other corner of that block is stocking their shelves. It looks like they'll open soon.
  20. The overpass has come to ground on the southeast end. Do we know why this portion on North Main is elevated anyway? Rather than start a new topic, what was going on with the Red Line this morning and why is it not being reported? One announcement said that there was a car (automobile) in the fountain at Main St Square and service would terminate there. We changed tracks at Greyhound and were instructed to board another train on the other platform at DT Transit Center. Then, the announcement on that platform was the polar opposite of what we'd been told whilst on the train. At any rate, I'll stop because I'm a tad bit worked up. Question: Is Jerome Gray behind such stories not getting out?
  21. It looks like construction is wrapping up on the new place (Georgia's?). They've cut a hole in the back area floor and installed a stairway. It's hard to say what the subsurface area will be used for.
