phillip_white Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Even if the garage demo is all that's planned, this is such a huge symbolic step forward for the area. Just removing the atrocious smell is a godsend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big E Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Overall a good move, even if all that replaces the garage is an empty space. Abandoned buildings like that are just a draw for vagrants and criminals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The building has a certain MCM appeal (love the perforated blocks on the facade) but I imagine that it must be a wreck after being vacant for so long and having a small fire a couple of years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually pulled the SWPPP out of the plastic tube and it says they will rip out the slab and seed the lot with grass until future development starts. Maybe they meant they will leave it until the building comes down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) This is the only concrete floor they were talking about in the southeast corner. Edited October 8, 2022 by hindesky 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 So much for my asbestos theory. They have started clawing into the office building and I would guess it will be completely down by the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never ate there, but found this desciption (courtesy Buzz Magazine) Buzz resident Chuck Zagst wrote in about one of his longtime favorites, Hebert’s Ritz, specializing in steaks, seafood and a popular shrimp remoulade. Run by Clifton and Lula Hebert, “The Ritz” was a large, white, two-story house at McGowen and San Jacinto, in what now is known as Midtown. “Their bone-in rib eye, warmed saltine crackers, and trout almandine were the best,” Chuck wrote. “When you sat down, they served warmed saltine crackers in a serving dish lined with a cloth white napkin, and butter on the side. The butter was served in individual squares. Trout almandine was also served as a boneless filet in the oven. The almonds were very thin-sliced and were toasted to a dark brown. The fish was also cooked in butter.” Hebert’s Ritz was around for over 40 years before closing in the mid-1980s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
