The view from along good Shepherd Dr. at Center St., where Metro Realty Group is hoping and praying it can unload up to 32,500 sq. ft. of property. In front of the signs is the office for Alvagraphics; the South Beach car wash and detailing center is directly behind.

Love you gentrifying Jesus. Please build more condos and more overpriced underwhelming eateries and worse, pearl bar. Om om all hail the king of the douches.
Blasphemy aside, center street is a colorful mix of factories, very expensive apartments, and even a all bills paid apartment. The disease that is Washington avenue is spreading.
Completely agree CM.
I wish they would kill the disease that is Washington before they redevelop every piece of shit building on that street and replace with new buisness and eateries that serve the general public, renew the area, and provide the city with millions in tax revenue.
I just don’t understand why these evil developers want to make this city a nicer place to live. Don’t they understand that we like vagrants, we like run down buildings that serve no purpose, and we’re going to fight them till the death?!?!?!
The Allen Brothers would be rolling in their graves if they knew people were out to improve this city!!!
Where’s Banksy when you need him?
And I’ll be out of town and unable to do so, but someone really needs to snap a picture of the realtor sign in the grove of trees at the corner of Studemont & I-10. “For Park or Trees”
Take away the bars that will ultimately fold, and I see townhome destined to be poorly-maintained rentals in 5 years, brand new, mostly empty retail centers, and yawn of all yawns, a Buffalo Wild Wings. Although I can barely see any of that because my eyeballs are still stinging from the visual assault that is ProGuard Storage. The new and improved Washington Ave area reminds me of unincorporated Harris County, minus the parking.
But I digress. If that Jesus really cared, he would wave his holy hands and fix the pavement on Shepherd.
wish we had the option to pay more in taxes to the city to keep washington underdeveloped cuz that would have been the winning solution.
would be a hell of a lot cheaper than paying inflated housing/drink/food prices that make developers/investors rich before any of it goes into the public piggy bank.
Soon to be another Richmond Strip.
“Gentrifying Jesus” has a twin named “Declining Suburbia Jesus” who lives in the parking lot of an auto repair business on Westpark between Fondren and Gessner.
This reminds me, what’s the deal with the shipping container tower with the giant cross on it down off the Gulf Freeway, about halfway between the loop and the belt?
“would be a hell of a lot cheaper than paying inflated housing/drink/food prices that make developers/investors rich before any of it goes into the public piggy bank.”
Don’t buy a house/Drink at different bars/Eat somewhere else/what part of a sales tax does your little brain not understand?
Pour be another glass of HATERADE!!! It’s sooo hot outside…tooo hot for a penguin!!
There’s another Jesus sign on Fulton in Lindale Park too.
Will you just stop complaining already?
