That bullet train station tho!
Are the hang gliders in the exploded view of the train station part of the train station since they have their own callout? Does the bullet train double as a winch launch? Where exactly does a hang glider land in a metropolitan area the size of Houston?
I see that Fat Property just scooped up another Montrose apartment building.
I live two doors down and my mother used to live across the street 30 years ago (and knew the owner)
4202 Stanford. I actually saw the property hit the MLS but it was gone like a day later. Such a cool little building
Is it just me or does SmartAsset’s list of places for “growth and stability” appear heavily tied to oil & gas expansion, a notably very cyclical and unstable industry.
In a perfect world, the buyer of Baldwin’s house tears it down and moves three or four 1925-era bungalows, that are just fine as they are, onto the lot.
Karma, baby.
C.L. – Priceless irony to call Baldwin a historic “preservationist”.
Oh, man, am I glad to hear they’re revitalizing Palace Lanes. When the fence went up around it last week, I’d not seen any news yet so I thought they were prepping it for demo. I do hope they keep the full lanes vs. shorter D&B style bowling, but any reuse of the facility is a win.
