Blaze Brazilian Steakhouse in the TMF area closed.

Wonder if this was a sudden decision, or the new owners pushing them out. It's a very tough corner, as there's no parking. With that being said, I'm not really a fan of Brazilian Steakhouses nor do I see the appeal. I haven't been to one in probably 10 years. Be curious to see who ends up taking that space and how long it might take to lease. I do think a Neighborhood Services type restaurant would be cool. But my goodness, the TMF is changing & quickly!

I also noticed something on the TABC website, that a restaurant called ChinoLatino is applying for a License in what appears to be either the Green Gator spot or Mercy Wine Bar. Address goes back to the same company that just opened Sanjh at Water Street.

City council members publicly confirmed HEB is the store that is going into the Fry's area. The vote we talked about a few weeks ago is in fact for their in-store BBQ restaurant's liquor license.

Very Cool! I wonder if they'll sit on it for awhile, or how long until we may see some movement. They also own some land in Euless off 121 in Glade Park, and I have seen some survey crews and trucks on that site as well the past month.

This would be great if they can get it moving. Reminder how LC almost fumbled the Whole Foods deal off MacArthur .It's insanely wild that Dallas county does not have one single HEB. I know Frisco and Plano are their flagship locations but it would be great if they could make this one a flagship considering the location and space.

The diagrams submitted show slightly larger than the HEB's in Collin county.

When you say "publicly confirmed," did they do so in a press release or a City Council meeting?

The ordinances and the TX DOT plans were published. The vote was in the Jan 25 council meeting for the liquor license. They spoke in a HOA meeting this past week confirming who it was, but it's been general public knowledge since December 2022.

Former Mattitos off 635/Mac finally found a lessee - being converted to "Simply South Pure Indian Vegeterian".

Wild Fork store replacing gas station on north west corner of MacArthur and 161.

The only gas station I know of there was a Chevron on the NE corner. I think the NW corner has apartments on it.

Isn't it about time another fortune 500 company relocates to Las colinas?

The Chevron on the NW corner was demolished several months ago. The apartments are on the southwest corner.

If you look at a map, itsjrd1964 is correct. You may be visualizing everything at that intersection in terms of the northeast-to-southwest direction of 161 as you travel down it as if that went north-south, but the old gas station is definitely on the east side of MacArthur and the north side of 161, with apartments on the northwest corner across MacArthur.

You're both absolutely correct- I have lived here 30 years within 1 mile of that intersection and always align it based on 161's travel direction.

Saw some soil samples being taken today on the site of the proposed HEB. So, some sort of movement there, which is cool.

Here are some updates of the Wells Fargo complex. It’s an impressive construction site with three cranes:

Yea, this seems to be turning out better than I thought. And it's more imposing on the skyline than I had anticipated for only 10 floors. Curious to see what comes of the rest of the property. Whatever happened to the apartment complex with retail that was approved next door?? Appreciate the pics!

Same here. It's more noticeable from further distances than I expected.
While it's not poking out above the LC skyline it's definitely filling it in. Makes the entire place look more concentrated.
