A call to their Conroe location indicates an opening in the Heights in mid-November

I just checked out the Pie in the Sky Web site for their Conroe location. Looks good and nice prices! Anyone know when the Heights location will open?

Very interesting insight. Thank you for understanding the value of these houses. I've always wanted to know what happens to those relocated out of the neighborhood. One that used to be next door to us was moved to Brooksmith on the other side of North Main three years ago. They removed the roof and cleared the lot of all landscaping the former owner had worked so hard to establish during the approximately 10 years he lived there. A year later the house had a new roof, but remained unfinished. It has since been purchased by yet another rehabber and moved again. I have no idea where it is now. While taking a rather circuitous route to the Target yesterday I came upon a rather forelorn-looking bungalow in an empty lot on the other side of the David Addicks studio. It was obviously adorable at one time, but now looks to be in very bad shape and is open to the elements. Who knows how long it is has been there. I wonder how many wind up this way? Does anyone have any additional information on the subject? It would be good to know because despite efforts to inform otherwise, there is still the perception that relocation is somehow a less offensive alternative to demolition. This is not true if the house is in one of the historic districts where each part contributes to the whole. On a more positive note, one of the houses I believe was pictured in the previous post was not bulldozed. A year after the owners sought permission to demo they have returned to the historic commission with plans for an addition. Those plans received approval last Thursday. Yea!

Houston Heights has been selected as one of the best places to buy a historic house. This Old House and Preservation Directory agree with what many of us already know...Houston Heights is special! We are ranked right up there with the lower garden district of New Orleans. Cool! Check it out! http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/photos/0,,...0634053,00.html
