Comments on: Lookout for Townhouses: What Do You Make of the First Ward? http://swamplot.com/lookout-for-townhouses-what-do-you-make-of-the-first-ward/2008-08-06/ Houston, Texas real estate development, home buying, landscape, and design Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:52:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: CK http://swamplot.com/lookout-for-townhouses-what-do-you-make-of-the-first-ward/2008-08-06/#comment-3722 CK Sat, 09 Aug 2008 16:31:31 +0000 http://swamplot.com/lookout-for-townhouses-what-do-you-make-of-the-first-ward/2008-08-06/#comment-3722 Yeah there actually are two Specs stores adjacent to each other in the strip center on the roundabout at Washington and Wescott. The store on the east side is open longer hours since it doesn't serve liquor. It has the small deli, beer and wine, along with the various foodstuffs you can generally find at neighborhood Specs. The one on the west side is actually the lickuh stow. Now, even if I forget to get my coffee beans at Costco, if I run out, I can go a few blocks and get my gourmet beans. It still amazes me that the fickle grocery store industry continues to ignore this booming neighborhood. I told them at Specs that they were going clean up at this location.

We at the east end are closer to the downtown mega-store. There is a new smallish Spec’s at the WOW end of Washington at Westcott. We at the east end are closer to the downtown mega-store.

I don't know of any Spec's near there. The only ones even close that I know of currently is their Midtown Location and their clearance location at Westheimer and Montrose.

The area from Sawyer to downtown north of Washington is moving forward with lot of new homes like Rice Military did a few years back. Target has helped this a lot by allowing more convenience to the residents in the area. This would be interesting to watch.
