but do we think they'll add windows?

If it's going to be a studio, I doubt they'll add windows. I think it's ideal for a studio/production to have the least amount of natural light.

Sad news this weekend as The Plant tenant Little Red Box announced they will be ending operations on December 3rd. Big blow for the 2nd Ward community :(

That is really sad. Grocery is a hard biz. Micro grocery is almost impossible.

Sad, but not surprised. It was convenient, if not incredibly bipolar with pricing.

That was the model. It was trying to self-sustain by selling higher-priced items to the neighborhoods wealthier newcomers while still serving the pre-existing community with affordable staples.

If we're picking nits, I'd say that the selection on both ends of that spectrum. And unlike a lot of the other small groceries in Second Ward and the East End, Red Box never doubled as a taquería.

If most customers are going to be getting in their cars anyway, most of them are going to go to supermarkets. 

It's too bad, though. I liked the idea, the owners, and the store itself. 

[ljchou]

I feel like a bodega-type operation similar to kickin' kombucha would be more sustainable. Clearly F&B is working in the area (with the exception of Angelo's concepts which sounds more like creative confusion than lack of demand).

Hopefully there is still an opportunity for targeted, small grocery retail of some sort in the future.

It worries me for Jonny Rhodes' new East River concept. Especially in such a generic retail market that will no doubt be City Centre 2.0.

Ate at Street to Kitchen last night and noticed that the thrift store next door said that their last day would be 12/31. The print shop also looked to have closed and mostly moved out :/

Eden was pretty full though.

Local coffee shop Slowpokes is leasing "a 2,000-square-foot space with an adjacent outdoor patio at 3402 Canal St." According to the Houston Business Journal article, "Slowpokes’ location in The Plant was previously a gas station and tire shop." This is one of several retail spaces planned for phase two Houston Chronicle reported earlier this year:

Concept Neighborhood shared a progress photo of the forthcoming Slowpokes at 3402 Canal St. The coffee shop is part of Concept Neighborhood's The Plant / Second Ward development.

The plant is growing. 

We're excited to announce that Slowpokes will be coming to Second Ward THIS YEAR! Making use of the former Elizalde Tire Shop building on Canal, this development fits right in and upholds our promise to revitalize this neighborhood, while refusing to tear down and demolish the landscape/history.

Second Ward doesn't need to be "fixed" it needs to be filled, and we're so happy to see that through one corner at a time.

Below is the text from the notice of variance letter sent to area residents:

The Planning and Development Department has received a subdivision plat application with a variance request for a property located south of N Plamer St, east of Canal St, north of Nolan St, and west of Commerce St.

Anxiom Land Surveying, LLC, the applicant, has filed the request on behalf of the developer of the subject site.

Concept Neighborhood is actually asking the city for slack on parking requirements
