    This is the 3rd office building on that block. Looks like the building was once home to the architecture firm A. Carroll Brodnax. This building, a long with the three others, will be developed into something larger within the next 5 to 10 years. The land is far too valuable to have dilapidated, old, office buildings.

    This odd office building is the 2nd of 3rd on that Almeda block. One day, I'd say within 5 to 10 years, a developer will buy all three small office buildings and will create a large plat for multifamily. Who is the tenant I wonder?

    There are three businesses across the street from the VA campus that look out of place. I wonder if someone would have buy-out the three parcels to create a larger plat for multifamily? The look of this building is a little bland. I wonder if a remodel is in the future? Website: https://www.bryanlaboratory.com/

    This little corner strip center has a lot of vacancy. I'd figure it would be very popular given the area. Subway and Le Donut are stationed here.

    The Trotter YMCA would like to redevelop in order to create a higher density mixed-used development. 9.49-acres total. This has some serious potential. https://www.us.jll.com/en/investorcenter/land/trotter-ymca-houston-tx-unitedstates

    I was reading the newspaper The Rice Thresher dated April 21, 1995 and came across a business advertisement for Majors Books located at 7205 Fannin Street. Majors Scientific Books, Inc. dates back to the 1900s. The company is based out of Dallas, Texas. It all began with John Albert Majors, a medical student who helped pay his way through school by selling books to doctors. Upon his graduation, he became Dr. J.A. Majors and continued selling books through the W.B. Sanders Co. to raise the money needed to open his own practice. He soon recognized that doctors throughout his assigned area were constantly clamoring for the most updated information on procedures, studies and treatments. Majors would haul the publisher’s books from office to office in Tennessee, Louisiana and Mississippi, and ultimately decided to open his own storefront in New Orleans in 1909. The small store carried medical books from multiple publishers and was located not accidentally across the street from Tulane University School of Medicine. In Houston, Majors Books had two locations. 6640 South Main and 7205 Fannin.

    I was browsing the newspaper The Bellaire Texan dated July 14, 1971 and noticed a business advertisement for Canine Motel And Cat House located at 11525 South Main Street. A couple in a local grocery store were in the check-out line and the woman was telling her husband an unusual experience that happened while driving down South Main. I ever made a U-Turn to see if I read the sign right, she told him. As they both chucked a man behind them joined I the chuckle. Oh, we've seen it too? She asked. Yes the stranger replied. Well, nice you've heard of it, you'll never forget it. Se laughed. I certainly hope not, the man relied as he handed the woman his business card. The sign she saw read “Canine Motel and Cat House” and the stranger was Phil Oesterman owner of the recently opened establishment for pets. The Canine Motel and Cat House is housed on 2-1/2 Acres of land on South Main, across from the South Main Drive-Inn Theatre at Stella Link. The first phase of the planned complex, will represent an investment in excess of $50,000.

    I was reading the newspaper The Bellaire Texan dated August 29, 1962 and came across a business advertisement for Lariat Restaurant & Club located at 11215 South Main Street. The Lariat Restaurant, Houston's newest, has opened its door at 11215 South Main, and manager Bill Cypert issues an invitation to area residents to visit his beautiful new dinning room and taste is delicious food at reasonable prices. Operating in conjunction with new Lariat Restaurant is the new Club 45, now taking memberships. As an incentive, the first 50 people who join Club 45 says Mr. Cypert, will not have to pay a membership fee - only the beverage pool and stare tax. The club options Sept. 1 at 4 p.m. The large, fine swimming pool adjacent to the restaurant-club building will be operated through September and October at a rate of $10 per family or 25 cents for children and 50 cents for adults. The complex also includes a convenient drive-in restaurant served from the central kitchen. In the dining room there will be nightly dancing- from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Presently playing the Sonny Covington Four. Edit: I just realized this is the same location as a club called Lee's Trading Post Club located at 11215 South Main St. On the below newspaper article it mentions a "new club". Does that mean Lariat Restaurant & Club 45 came after Lee's Trading Post Club?

    I was browsing the newspaper The Texan dated December 31, 1986 and came across a Shamrock Hotel demolition story. There was a proposed development by the TMC called "South Main Addition of the Texas Medical Center" located on South Main & Holcombe. Despite public outcry and organized protests, the historic Shamrock Hilton Hotel will soon go down in dust. Texas Medical Center (TMC) officials announced Monday, December 29 the 37-year-old landmark hotel will be demolished to make way for as many as eight high-rise buildings designed for medical research, education, and patient care. TMC officials said later extensive study their only option is to remove the former hotel structure and start from scratch. The total project, as currently planned, would probably cost between $300 and $500 million officials estimated, providing thousands of construction job within the next few years and adding thousands of permanent jobs upon completion. A planning model of the 22.6-acre site, now called South Main Addition to the Texas Medical Center, was recently unveiled. Four towers are planned for the west side of Main Street, along with a possible main building for the 546.8-acre TMC campus. Two or three additional high-rise buildings would be located on the land across South Main along Gales Street. Two large areas are contemplated for fountains and gardens.
