woolie Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 In the Mosaic thread, someone mentioned the marketing literature called Almeda "Trendy." Hah, ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 No picture of Spanish Village?!?The Avalon Grill has always intrigued me. Was this restaurant inside a house?Another thing I think is neat, are the few remaining old big box Jack-n-The Boxes. You see one in the second to last picture.

I didn't say it was comprehensive Anyway, I'm not crazy about the Spanish Village. It's not that good and it's overpriced. I don't know about the Avalon Grill, either. As it stands today, it's an abandoned house with the roof caving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJones Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Love the old Church's chicken place, and The Avalon has some newer establishments around town also. Don't knock the Taco vendors, some of those guys can make a mean Torta ! Also, in the first photo, you can get a delicious microwaveable Burrito, at that Diamond Shamrock down the road. Gotta be a Valero by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternGulf Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 If I get a new camera this month, I hope to take it into Third Ward, East and West of 288. West of 288 may be more attractive but Southmore east of 288 is a total jewel. And I use to go here about once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 You might take a new camera INTO Third Ward, doesn't mean it is coming out with you. Be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolie Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 You might take a new camera INTO Third Ward, doesn't mean it is coming out with you. Be careful. I like to ride around on my bike, at night, with $2500 worth of camera equipment around my neck and in my pockets It's fine during the day, and there are really only a few places you should avoid at night if you're alone. But I mean, it's common sense: don't walk around alone at night ANYWHERE where there aren't many people around (residential neighborhoods: e.g. third ward) or good street lighting.

TJones Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 words from a spoken suburbanite. just kidding.not all of third ward is what you think though. truer words have never been spoken, but I'll stick too my statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I live in the old Prospect Apartments, on Prospect at Almeda between Binz and Southmore. They're great -- large, very art deco, built by William Hobby in 1939, I think. Curved walls, original hardwoods and tile. The neighborhood can still be a bit dodgy here and there, but it's like River Oaks compared to how it was just a few years ago. It takes me less than 10 minutes to get to work, and I actually live in a place with some character. That's almost unheard of in Houston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
