From reader Josh Burdick come these graphic images from this morning’s speedy takedown of the Buffalo Grille — the last remaining portion of the shopping center that stood at the corner of Bissonnet and Buffalo Speedway before the H-E-B Buffalo Market took it over. Can H-E-B chew up this breakfast spot and spit out a few more parking spots for grocery shoppers fast enough? A bit more of Burdick’s bite-by-bite coverage:

Damn! They sure didn’t waste any time.
BG must not have brought in much rent if a couple dozen more spots at the very back of the lot are more valuable to HEB.
I noticed today that they’d moved the bike rack since the last time I’d been there. It used to be under the front awning; now it’s bigger and at the front of the lot. At least they’re not only expanding the car spots.
Their problem isn’t with parking, it’s the fact the store itself is too small. You can’t get a shopping cart down the aisles. Went once, never again.
Actually the BG had been planning this move for awhile, the new location is going to do fine. Way too crowded around that HEB!
