COMMENT OF THE DAY: IMAGINING THE H-E-B HEIGHTS REVITALIZATION PLAN “The Sons of Hermann site would not have to be dry. There used to be a liquor store at the Boulevard and the bayou – Kims #1. Tapping in to all the people who now live within drunks-puking-in-your-driveway distance of Washington makes that site a good choice. Enter from Yale or Heights. Then maybe those condos that are 6 feet from the RR [tracks] would finally sell.” [finness, commenting on H-E-B Plans To Build a Montrose Grocery Store at Wilshire Village]
Don’t forget those t/h’s that back up to the tracks also back up to the recycling center behind Star Pizza. Those townhomes are almost like animals y’know…food goes in the front and is recycled out the back. lol.
The sad thing is that if this HEB gets built, the developer will be forced to raise the price of each unit from $300 to $350k!
The area south of White Oak Bayou on Heights Blvd is not dry. See outline of “dry” area at: http://houstorian.wordpress.com/2007/02/13/the-dry-heights/
