samagon Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 i don't like that the duplexes near me bring extra people into the area and that someone from those units is almost always parked in front of my house, but i accept it and don't try to have the duplexes condemned.One benefit of people parking in front of your house is if you are not there, and someone is parked in front of your house, it makes it look like someone may be home.

HoustonMidtown Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The old Hyde Park Market is now a Mex place called Cuchara.http://www.29-95.com...ing-out-cucharaWent there last week -- drinks were so-so (no frozen drinks, only on-the-rocks)....they have 3 kinds of salsa, a "spicy" roasted tomato, a peanut and tomatillo (which tasted like peanut butter - not good) and a mild red sauce which was pretty good -- they don't give free chips and salsa like most Mexican places do. We tried a few appetizers and they were all pretty good (chips and guacamole mousse, some kind of mushroom thing).We were the only 2 people in the place at 5:30 on a Thursday, but it was packed the previous weekend when we drove by. We liked it enough that we will go back and try it again...I have to also add, their air conditioning duct work sounded like it was falling from the ceiling each time the air turned on -- the entire wait staff jumped every time it cycled on, we ducked a couple times ourselves...

Chi-Char-Hou-Dal Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Game Changer - should liven up the area.

swtsig Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I wouldn't call max's a game changer... Thats a pretty happening area w boheme, cuchara, fairview, gratifi and the various gayborhood spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chi-Char-Hou-Dal Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I walk to the area now to Boheme, Fairview and although it's not dead by any means I think MWD will really bring the area to life. The entire area all the way up Taft will see more restaurants, bars and activity in the next couple years IMO. I hear you and would probably call myself out if I saw a post like that I'm just excited to be buying a house on this side of Midtown and all the new development around.

swtsig Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 i don't really think you're off base, though... adding a max's will def bring a spotlight of sorts to that area. people love them their max's. i actually like max's but haven't been in years bc i can't stand washington. i will def consider going to this one. parking there is going to be an even bigger delicate flower, though. luckily my friends place is walking distance.

trymahjong Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 I also am lucky enough to walk to this area. Parking? Maybe they can share the current parking spaces? Hopefully they won't tear down one of the existing houses to make a new lot. I like the idea of something new going in-- instead of the empty space. Now if someone would only cleanup and put something fabulous into the old Late Nite Pie space----sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
