Thread: Plaza District

    Seems like the Plaza District is out-Paseoing The Paseo.

    Plaza is blowing and going and although The Paseo is more established, there is not much new happening there.

    I know it's not a direct competition but the two are very similar in lots of ways.

    They are renovating their existing building to be just the restaurant, and moving the convenience portion of their business into the old gas station across the street (southeast corner of Indiana)

    JMO, but I think the revitalization of 23rd has maybe taken some wind out of the Paseo's sails, in terms of new shops and restaurants. The art scene is still very strong in that area though.

    Is there a plan for the second floor of the Velvet Monkey Salon?

    I don't know a whole lot about the Paseo, but to me it seems less like the Plaza is "out-Paseoing" as much as they are just catching up to what the Plaza should have been for awhile. Plaza has more under utilized stock that's getting revamped. I haven't noticed much under utilized stock in the Paseo. I'd like to see the Paseo start expansion, but as adaniel said, 23rd seems to be gearing up for a serious Renaissance. It will be interesting to see how well both small districts fair when 23rd starts to realize its monstrous potential.

    Historically, there was never a second floor of the building. The roof housed the machinery for the New State Ice Company, and the walls and windows (which were covered in sort of an outdoor blind), were just built to enclose the machinery. There was never a rooftop.

    I think Estrella will eventually do something with the roof, it will just require quite a bit of investment in regards to accessing the roof, especially ADA access.

    Especially to mathematicians. But they're crazy. They're always saying pie are squared. Everybody knows pie are round!

    This pic is from The Koffee Kup in Hico, Texas west of Fort Worth. We did a lot of motorcycle rides there for pie.
