Im somewhat interested in finding out more about this house.. but really, just wanted to make my 100th post!! too many cocktails at shady tavern. editor, feel free to get me!!

So sad. Never bought anything from them but im a native houstonian and grew up with matress mac. Dont know if any of yall saw him on Dr. Phil with his OCD daughter, but I had a new respect for him after that. Bottom line is he loves Houston, and has done so much for our great city.

Im trying out shuck daddys tonight.. called for happy hour specials and they said "all our beer is 3.75" we better be talking about some damn good beer... will keep you guys posted.

Reign still remains unopened. The place that once was the daily grind has a new sign up "washington" something or other.. pub maybe? I am actually looking forward to that one.

From what I undestand the main difference with the prices in the neighborhood have to do with the highschools that are zoned. Everything east on shepard goes to Reagan and west of shepard is zoned to Lamar. Seeing that you arent going to be around long enough to worry about highschools I dont forsee that being a problem. Lots of the town homes in the area have been on the market for a long time. Do you homework about your builders. I have lived in the area for almost 5 years now and love it. No crime for us personally, but I know a few folks who have had thier cars broken in to at night. My advice would be to stay far away form Washington bc the parking at night sucks.

Does anyone have any recomendations for a florist that does great weddings here inside the loop? I am in the heights and would love to use someone local. Thanks!

yep. it used to be vivians. it bet the stink inside that place was really hard to get rid of.

ive been inside the unit listed on HAR. It is a horrible lay out. Kind of like a single wide trailer. Couldnt imagine paying that much for 600 something square feet and CONSTANT traffic and people parking right by your fonr door... cant wait to see how this shakes out.

I wonder what is going on here? Havent seen any construction on the place in over a month. I was very curious to know who would buy one since they are all of 15 feet from that gorgeous building they are calling reign lounge. Reign has a huge second story patio. Imagine the noise in the townhomes. They are located on washington and jackson hill. On a happier note, the condo unit at snover and rose has finnaly sold after being abandonded for over a year. They are ripping out cabinets and carpet and I couldn't be happier!

great article. going to stop by this place this afternoon. would love to know more about the "washington plunge"

meet me at the moon tower! apparenlty huntsville must have had them at some point, bc the writer of dazed and confused based the script on huntsville, his home town,.. however the movie was filmed in austin.

Black Squirrels??? Tell me more! There is a HUGE white rooster that lives off Snover. He is about 3 feet tall, okay maybe not that tall but I am scared of him. He usually hangs out in their back yard but I have seen him out by the street before.

Not a big surpsise. This place was always empty and had a major indentity crisis. Am a a lounge? Am I a resturant? I went there about 5 times. Then they raised all the prices, by like 70 %. Nothing improved. Same folks that own the Mambos chain.

What in gods name is going on in this house?

Did anyone see the story on channel 2 last night? They were brodcasting from across the street from pearl bar. Talked about the super neighborhood 22 meeting and the problems with parking and general drunken lewdness in the area. Pearl bar says they arent the problem bc they rent out 5 lots for the valets to park cars. I call Bullshit. Not everyone valet parks lady.

We ate at the Broken Spoke off washington this past weekend. I highly recomend it. Staff and service were great. it is BYOB right now but they are working on getting a beer and wine permit.

ive been to the dubliner, which is across the street from pearl bar in the space that used to be chaise lounge, a few times now. they have a nice little porch and appear to be douche-bag free.

yep... they all live by the galleria.. in some old ass condos that are now for rent. OR they live in pearland. that is why they park their big ass trucks and block my driveway. sorry about all the ass in this comment.. ive had a few beverages. btw haifers who do I need to call to get someone to tow a car that is blocking my driveway?

im going to miss the train whistle. i love it.

The same folks that own 6th street also own 1400, or is it 1800? Either way the place on shepard. The crowds at different times of the day vary GREATLY. I actually enjoy the food but the waitstaff sucks mostly. I was really excited when they opened bc I loved the patio but the place is so random. It is like they cant figure out what they want to be... Have you been there for the DJ? wtf?

The band that is playing saturday night is Honeybrowne. Great texas country band out of Austin. I think they go on at 7. They are playing in an area called the garden that is new this year. Sounds more geared to the general public.

That does sound like fun! I could see the wine bars and resturants getting in on this but what about the bars? I wonder how late the pedi cabs wil run?

I knew that Deans had moved but the location they showed on the news was the location on Main..... ???

Did anyone see that someone fell out of a third story window above Deans on saturday night? The owner of the building lives above and has been known to throw some crazy parties. Oddly, the news station refered to the neighborhood as "montrose" wtf?

Yep, it is right next to the jack in the box. Absolutely NO parking. Going to make this intersection even more of a nightmare than it already is.
