I saw that too! I hope they don't tear down all the buildings and then its just sits there for years like that Old Warsaw site.

Anyone know if the Punch Bowl Social proposed for 2600 Main is still happening?
Building looks as dead as ever.

Maybe a combined Rustic/Mutts can be re-accommodated permanently on city owned park land somewhere else in Uptown, with a long term land lease from the city. Reverchon Park seems to have some underutilized land that could work. If not, I wouldn't mind seeing them move to East Dallas into an empty l...

I don't understand the dislike for Mutts and Rustic. Sure, I get that they were alway supposed to be temporary, but they have proven themselves to be popular attractions for the area. The notion that every square foot of uptown should be mid-rise apartments with/without ground floor retail , etc, is...

Just saw this segment on WFAA.. Apparently The Den on Mckinney ave closed recently and Shell Shack is closing soon.

Speaking of the intersection of Oak Lawn and Cedar Springs.... has anyone noticed the mini-homeless camp that has formed this past week at the Legacy Monument?

Ok this makes me really happy. I drive by this ratty looking strip mall everyday with hopes that someone would eventually do something with it....maybe it will finally happen....

Was just at the Tom Thumb in Turtle Creek Village and it looks like they lost all 3 retail tenants between Malibu Poke and World Market (Correct me if i'm wrong about this). But the signage was down for Mill No 3, Tinsley Radix and the salon that was there. Wow.

So I didnt see this myself, but a friend told me that the Uptown Urban Market in the Villa Rosa appeared to be cleared out, doors locked,, and a sign on the door for failure to pay... rent? im guessing. Bummer!

It's going to be a new nightclub called Theory.

The Next Door property is already started a significant remodel, I never noticed a lockout, they never appeared on the TABC delinquency list and there hasn't been a for lease sign so either the owner of the property is doing a very through make ready for re-lease which seems unlikely or Next Door e...

Next Door Bar at 2908 Mckinney (next to Shell Shack) closed down June 26 according to their
Facebook page.

Also Dos Jefes (formerly Nick and Sams Grill) at 2816 Fairmount is no longer. "For Lease" sign on their front door.

And you can also see the progress of the San Martin Cafe next door

Tailored crosswalks are great, especially if they lead to new sidewalks. Oak Lawn Avenue should be one of the city's Premier, World-Class, New Millenial, NewUrbanistMixedUse, Starcitect, Complete Streeted.... pedestrian-resident oriented thoroughfare, from the fountain at Preston Road to the Trinit...

Not sure about the street re-do, but it looks like there is a push again for rainbow crosswalks at Cedar Springs/Throckmorton instersection after the public art crosswalks were installed in the West Village recently.

A nail place???? ugh!

Anyone know whats going into the old Subway next to Hunkys on Cedar Springs?

About a block down from the new Aloft/Element Hotel (Mockingbird and Maple) , I saw "Coming Soon" signs for Raising Cane's and In-N-Out Burger. Is this part of the the West Love project i wonder?

AND the Melrose is supposedly tearing down the old Cafe Brazil building, with no timeline on their expansion.

I heard somewhere that the new completion date is January 2017
