The Heights Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming
kylejack replied to Freelander's topic in The Heights
I hate carrying cash and only do so if it's a cash only business. -
The Heights Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming
kylejack replied to Freelander's topic in The Heights
Yeah, it's $10 I think. Just a PITA if you only want one drink before continuing somewhere else. Same thing at Leon's, which is too bad because Leon's is often on the way to somewhere else I'm going. -

Zombie, Mai Tai, Scorpion, those are the types of drinks you'd find at a tiki bar. I don't think Under The Volcano even stocks orgeat. I see it as a Mexican bar. There's a lot of little Mexican cultural type of stuff in the design. I like Under The Volcano, for the most part. Drinks are decent, though it can get a little packed, and credit card minimums really burn my biscuits. -

More of a Dia De Los Muertos theme, I'd say, and not a tiki menu either. -

All new construction should have sidewalks along the public right-of-way, Q.E.D. all new construction should be in a walkable area, especially inside the Loop. -
Hilton Hampton Inn/Homewood Suites Hotels At 710 Crawford St.
kylejack replied to Houston19514's topic in Downtown
Totaling them: Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, Hyatt Place, Marriott Marquis, JW Marriott (806 Main), Holiday Inn (Savoy building, maybe still speculative) Anything else?- 486 replies

806 Main has white wood or some similar material going up on the brick. The Texaco building doesn't draw many homeless, not nearly as many as, say, the convenience store at Main and Walker, where the Commerce Towers are thriving.

Yep. I think you have to have one tree for the first 5000 sf, if you're building a new house, plus one for each additional 5000.

Work requires permits. The permit process is slow. -
Houston Architecture and Information About The Heights Walmart Forum
-
Is The Heights more important than other Houston neighborhoods? Why is getting the marathon through The Heights such a special necessity? A lot of people live in this city, many of them not in The Heights.
-
Still trying to understand why you want to change the Mayor of the city over the Marathon not coming through your precious Mayberry. Shouldn't other parts of the city get a chance, too?

Well he can't even pay his taxes on time, so not sure how much I'd trust any promise.

?? What has Ben Hall promised to do for The Heights?
-
Some in the Heights seem to have a real inflated sense of entitlement.

Yeah, there's one called Hertz On Demand. http://www.hertzondemand.com Not great locations for me personally. Closest is at UH.
-
Ahh, makes sense. Lots of after hours work going on.

Criminal element still a serious problem in many parts of the Fifth Ward.

I think they had to take out Elysian because there's construction starting soon, so maybe that's why.

Yes, Ladybird is a welcome respite on Thursdays.

JW Marriott Hotel Expansion: 806 & 812 Main St.
kylejack replied to Houston19514's topic in Downtown
I figured they were just using Battelstein's for access into 806. -
Fortunately I do not believe in ghosts and would therefore never need to disclose the presence of one.
