After a couple years of threats, live-music straggler Walter’s on Washington finally closed its doors at 4215 Washington Ave. this summer. Almost exactly 6 months later, it’ll open for a Christmas show in a new location: This former classic-car showroom, video-production studio, car-parts distribution center, and cabinet shop at 1120 Naylor St. just north of Downtown, behind DiverseWorks and the UH-Downtown parking garage. Owner Pam Robinson had hoped to open the 190-person-capacity venue much earlier. She told the Houston Press‘s Chris Gray in June that she had run into problems meeting city parking requirements for the location.

Great news! and hopefully no nearby neighbors to harass Pam about noise
yay! this new location is a smart move. That’s right off the main rail and, only a mile away from me :)
Yeah, I think we’re a few years away from this becoming townhouse central and having to deal with the new homeowners complaining about the neighborhood they chose to move into.
Curse you, parking restrictions!! ::shakes fist::
Parking requirements? Last time I checked, there was a massive pay lot about 2 blocks from there. What could be the problem with that?
Same here, and now I don’t have to worry about the roof collapsing the next time I see the junior boys.. lol.
not in time for Stanhope…
does walters have a new website?
