Historic Houston
Places that have survived the city's "progress" and those that are only memories. Plus places that go bump in the night.

The RO: Mixed-Use Development At West Alabama And Buffalo Spdwy.
It keeps progressing. More foundation perimeter walls, and I just saw a ceiling starting on the space on the south end. I’m guessing this space will be building equipment areas; transformers, switchgear, mechanical equipment. Piping is being laid, likely for drainage back to a lift station. I’m very curious how the building is going to layout floor by floor, but we will get to see in time. As for hotels in Houston, two Zaza hotels and the Post Oak Hotel have been awarded Michelin Keys. Auberge properties are no stranger to Michelin Keys, so I’m sure once built and operating this will be no exception. https://www.papercitymag.com/culture/michelin-keys-texas-guide-hotels-resorts-dallas-fort-worth-houston-austin/?amp- river oaks

New Orleans Times Picayune Does Article On Galveston
This article offers interesting comparisons, historical and contemporary, of the respective effects of major tropical storms on the cities of Galveston TX and New Orleans LA. Personal aside: k5jri715 is a native-born New Orleanian as well as a long-time visitor to Galveston. -

Maceo Spice & Import Company At 2706 Market St.
The Grilled muffuletta's at Sonny's on 19th, are even better though. Better than I've found in NOLA, even. -

Shops At Navigation: Retail Center At 2240 Navigation Blvd.
Southside Pizza let me down on multiple occasions. Double charges, missed orders, completely wrong orders, more missed orders, randomly 'closing' when i've placed an order and came to pick up (all during business hours) and never providing a refund. One of the most poorly managed places i've ever seen. They only survived due to lack of nearby competition, and the foot traffic from Cidercade. Now there's a Domino's and Cidercade offers their own pizza service inside I gave them a lot of chances because I want to see businesses in this area succeed, but i'm glad to see them gone.- 3

Ronnie Killen's STQ Restaurant At 2231 South Voss Rd.
Chef Ronnie Killen is saying bye-bye to Briargrove. Killen’s STQ will close on September 30, Killen tells CultureMap. In a series of text messages, Killen noted several factors contributed to the decision not to renew his lease on the space at 2231 S Voss Road. First, business never fully recovered to pre-Covid levels. https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/ronnie-killen-stq-restaurant-closing/
