Subdude Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 If nothing else, it would be nice to save the structure. Good googie is pretty rare around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 This sucks! What's next to close...Breakfast Club? Don't you. . .forget about me! The funny thing about that, is the restaurant was featured in the Houston Midtown Newsletter recently. Sounds like it was a pretty affordable place to grab a quick bit to eat with personality.

ricco67 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I kept hearing that it was a bit over rated, and those that did rave about it struck me as those that wouldn't know any better. I need to go there to find out for myself one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonmacbro Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 yeah, not to bash, but i had a great breakfast the other morning with my sisters, but it costs me a whopping $15. i can see spending that for dinner, but for breakfast...? that will be my once a month treat instead a weekly one.

dbigtex56 Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 This past Tuesdays the heavy machinery was brought in. New Orleans Po' Boys is no more. R.I.P.If anyone has pictures of the building (or its demolition) please post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Does anyone know if anything is going to be built there, or is it destined to be another vacant lot for Midtown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 It is my opinion that someone had to pay for that demolition and paid for it for a reason. With some of the stealth projects that happened around here lately, I would not put it past it that some deals may have escaped our (or rather, our spy's) notice.

dbigtex56 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 Does anyone know if anything is going to be built there, or is it destined to be another vacant lot for Midtown?Thought I read somewhere that the property is owned by South Main Baptist Church. If so, they own quite a chunk between Main, W. Alabama, Spur 527 and Richmond Ave. Maybe they're our next superchurch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I don't know if I want a huge church in that location. We already have 3 churches in midtown fairly close to each other, but as residential starts to get a foothold in the area, it might be needed. The downtown cathedral is a good example on how it's needed due to population growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downtown cathedral is a good example on how it's needed due to population growth.IMO, the new cathedral is more of a want than a need. The diocese wants to do a premiere project to "validate" the diocese in a sense since Houston doesn't really have a premier one. A cathedral is something that is relatively rare as few are built. It is definitely a coup for houston. btw ch13 did a nice story on it last night. story is here. there is also a video link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Initially, I thought the same thing, but from what I have heard, there has been a case of overcrowding for quite some time and the space was sorely needed and in fact, purchased the old Fed Building across the street which will be turned into additional space. Makes me wonder if perhaps they might have their own walkway or tunnel for that complex. Hmm...I might start a new thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icanluv2 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 The New Orleans Po Boy in Downtown is still open. I ate there about a couple of weeks ago. The catfish basket is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
