as a full time store or still a temporary/popup type?

Trade? Full time.

[Pete]

Yes, TRADE will be setting up shop in August and will be open regular hours.

Just learned the other tenants -- in addition to the aforementioned Chirps and Cheers -- will be a dentist and a pizza place.

Very common in a small retail or office building.

Is the Cool Greens still going in somewhere in midtown?

Is the Cool Greens still going in somewhere in midtown?

I haven't heard anything new since there was a rumor about them going into this building.

[Chadanth]

Any idea who will operate the pizza place?

Any idea who will operate the pizza place?

I wasn't able to find that out.

I was hoping by posting the info it might flush out more details.

MidtownR is just finishing up their part, which is just the partition walls and restrooms. In a couple of weeks, we should see the tenants start on their space and then we'll know more (if not before).

Same setup behind Coffee Slingers.

[Pete]

The dentist that is taking the corner spot in this building is Bailey Coleman who is moving from 228 Robert S. Kerr.

[Pete]

Trade is now open in this location.

Chirps and Cheers as well.


Still no word on the pizza place; the Midtown R guys told me it's not a done deal yet.

Chirps and Cheers as well.

A pet store where everybody knows your name?

[sooner88]

I'm not sure if it is this location, but I have heard that Organic Squeeze is planning on opening a second location in the Midtown area with an expanded focus including possibly a food menu and a produce section.

I think they are looking at The Edge.

Personally, I like brick buildings without paint but that's my opinion.

[Urbanized]

Will, you're absolutely right. Good HP would dictate that brick that has not previously been painted should never be. It unnecessarily creates future maintenance issues. One day it will have to be painted again. If moisture gets behind the paint and freezes, it can cause spalling. If you want to remove the paint down the road you might damage the glazed brick face by soda/sand blasting or whatever your removal technique is, which again can cause spalling and other damage.

If brick is unpainted, it can last just about forever with only a re-pointing every generation or two. However, once brick is painted, all bets are off. Unless you have the time/budget for careful removal, REpainting might be the best option.

Spalling brick:

[AP]

I really wish they'd put a metal awning around the building.

[IanMcDermid]

Yes the soda blasting can affect the gloss of the brick from the era. But the cost of more careful removal(like $40/gal chemical stripper and many hours of labor) puts the prospect of ever removing the paint out of reach. It's a dillema Chris and I are faced against with our party wall (lime green) on gusto/pump.

Yes, they are coming to The Edge, talked to them today about it.

They were considering removing the paint and tested several removal options. None were really doing the trick,so I guess they gave up.

Yep. And affecting the gloss = diminishing the brick's ability to protect itself (and the building) from weather (moisture, freezing). Anytime someone makes the choice to paint raw brick they are almost certainly making an unintended choice to shorten its life, and perhaps even the life of the building.
