musicman Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Will 'downtown' (not Midtown) ever see a grocery store...? Like a nice Whole Foods or something.when the downtown resident population increases considerably, so will retail of this type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniepwils Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 There should be a grocery store in downtown by the end of the year I would imagine. It is going to be at the corner of McKinney and Austin (in the new Park Place Building aka Fingers Building across from 5 Houston Center) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) Whoa! I hope Market Street Grill doesn't leave, I need their Philly Cheese Steak to stay sane. it looks like they are closing at the end of the month. EDIT: he is exploring the old dancing marlin. i just hope the owners of that offer reasonable rent. most of the owners downtown are still demanding too much which is ridiculous Edited January 26, 2008 by musicman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you'd think the market would dictate the price, especially since a significant number of businesses have either closed or move from that part of downtown, but greed/arrogance is often blinding.

The Great Hizzy! Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The former Wasabi is a good location. Hopefully they can make it work if not the former St. Pete's site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they can make it work if not the former St. Pete's site.I forgot to post this a couple of weeks ago. We ran into Kent (owner of market Square grill) and asked him the status of the move. He just smiled and said "we're staying". Good, another kobe burger please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigereye Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hate to BUMP and old thread but, I figured it was better to put it in here, then anywhere else Today as I was talking my usual lunch hour stroll through Downtown, I noticed the old State Bank building at 420 Main (NOT the Byrd Building) is under construction/renovation. Scaffolding now surrounds the entire building on both Main and Preston sides. Carol Kenny, whom handles leasing didint give any details as to what's going on. But I do know they have been trying (unsuccessfully) to lease the space for a while now. Anyone know whats going on?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
