IntheKnowHouston Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 Permit filings indicate the house on the 1309 Enid St parcel is being converted into a commercial space. According to permits, there are plans for a restaurant. The proprietors of former Bocados and Red Ox restaurants own the property. I don't know if their new project will be similar to their previous concepts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXK Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Really convenient that they can share the parking with D&T. Love that they can turn this house into a neighborhood restaurant, especially since it's right down the street from the new apartment complex too and with the modal filter to help people walking across Cavalcade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Great news for the neighborhood. I lived 2 or 3 blocks from here for about 2 years. I'm hoping for many more positive changes in the neighborhood. I think the biggest sign will be when those apartments and that ugly shopping center change hands and get redeveloped. That section of the Northside bounded by 610, W Cavalcade, and Airline is a strange mess but it's coming together. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
