These are both old Google Maps street view pics but next time I ride by I'll take some newer shots. There is what could be a drive thru off Emancipation or maybe this on St Charles. The St Charles appears to be more of a loading dock door though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve opened up most of the interior, and from what I recall from the site plan, will be incorporating driveways and parking within part of the first floor of the building. There is a new curb cutout/driveway and opening on the wall on the Emancipation side that aligns with where the door is on the St. Charles side that @hindeskyshared from Google Street View. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Drive thru and definitely a CVS according to the security guard in the SUV. I think he said to the right side, hard to hear him with the echo of the building. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Ewert Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Something about the windows at this building seems to be plaguing them. I can't tell you how many times I've seen windows installed, uninstalled, changed, boarded up, changed again, replaced with grating. They're out there working on them again today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasota Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Hopefully someone rehabilitates it - it's a perfectly fine old commercial building. (assuming you mean at Emancipation and Leeland) Edited July 16, 2021 by Texasota 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasota Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Poor maintenance of attached second gallery porches? It's not great, but it's not exactly shocking. It's also not a big deal from a renovation/rehabilitation perspective. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also not a big deal from a renovation/rehabilitation perspective. I really want to see this renovated in the near future. Would make for a cool bar or restaurant. It’s right near the top of my list in terms of buildings in that immediate area I’d like to see rehabilitated, along with the old Saragusa grocery store over on Canal near St. Charles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) I think the mixed use development going up now will help kickstart some more development in the area. this will probably be one of the things that gets gobbled in that process. hopefully for the fans of Brother's Taco, that one doesn't get gobbled too. for me, one of the buildings I'd like to see redeveloped, and if I win the lottery, it will be on my list of things to do, the one time home of the Axiom, at McKinney and Live Oak. something about that building just speaks to me every time I drive by it, I want to see something good happen with it. https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7487171,-95.3512508,3a,75y,254.42h,85.93t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s_js4Xt_RYWsww8h8TTUIDQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D_js4Xt_RYWsww8h8TTUIDQ%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D299.865%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192 Edited July 21, 2021 by samagon 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup that’s another one on my list too. I’ll let you know if I win the lottery instead, and we can spearhead these efforts together. lol 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were still working on the windows this morning. Still moving at a snails pace. The Tower next to the Hess building is going to be done before this and it started years earlier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) I think at one time the Axiom used to be a Askew's Drug store and the upstairs was a hotel. It later became a brothel then a liquor warehouse. I used to go to Axiom when it was open. Some up and coming bands played there including some band named Nirvana, Flaming Lips, Yo La Tengo, Social Distortion and many others. https://www.houstonpress.com/music/almost-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-the-axiom-6491690 https://www.houstonpress.com/music/the-axiom-6574860 Edited August 7, 2021 by hindesky 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcal Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I did notice that there was signage about the height of the entrance to the garage in the NE corner, so I'm assuming that is where the pharmacy drive-thru/parking entrance will be.
