All good. I heard the rumor about the cash running out a few months ago. I checked back and asked the husband of the original source just to confirm and it was fake news. I'm guessing what he told me probably jives with what you know.

Is Mojo Taco open yet?
No
The sign out front says coming Summer 2025. Summer technically starts July 1st. I guess they have until September 30th to open and keep their promised time frame. I'm guessing one of the owners will pop in here soon and give us an update.JMac03 said:AggiePhil said:

I would venture that it does not make sense to open too early in the summer due to lack of traffic. I would think they want to open several weeks before the start of the semester to work out all the kinks though...

But it's right by the bypass!
The original is even creepier.FlyRod said:
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who found their sign deeply troubling.
Mister Hamburger was originally a TasteeFreez-type drive-in in Huntsville from the late '50s to the late '90s or maybe early 2000s. The sign stayed up for a few years even after they razed the old building. The Mathews family resurrected the name and some of the menu in the early '10s and copied the sign from old ads or photos. Eventually they tracked down the original and have it inside the new Huntsville store.
It's probably just nostalgia talking, but the new one has never been as good as the original.
Stuff of nightmares.
That is the beginning of a horror movie.
I'm friends with the frontman of Deep Blue Something. He grew up in Huntsville and would sing the praises of the original Mr. Hamburger. He was super excited when they opened one here.

Shopping malls like that are a dying breed, I would assume the owners are hoping for someone to come along that wants to buy the property to knock it down and do something else with it.
Both of you have a point--there's no specific reason why Post Oak Mall is as bad as a shape as it's in, but CBL Properties is clearly not interested in investing in it.
Pretty sure they said outright they were getting substantially lower rent than the rest of the market.wehnerhigh20 said:
Harry's was pretty much always packed, had concerts all the time, and it was literally just a warehouse with a bar, feel like the expenses couldn't be too terribly high.
Sorry if this has been posted, but I don't recall seeing it here.
New laundry business in that new development at Texas and 2818 just north of Midas. Looks like a franchise.

Agreed.
Staff, please give Tailgate88 a timeout.
After all, he attempted to inject humor into this board.

"…attempted" is the key word 
Heard from a (very) reliable source that Chef Tai is involved with whatever is going to move in where Solt was. My probing yielded no more info then that, alas.
So another failed Chef Tai restaurant so he can open another project?
Kanji is doing fine and I'm guessing Urban Table is though it's not my jam. Still has his food truck. Knowing what I do about restaurants his batting average is higher than many.
Anyway I wish him well and look forward to learning more about what's to come.

Any idea what's going on with Urban Table?
I just assumed they were trying to drum up excitement for their new menu
Tai is a good guy and an asset to the community. Why the snark? It's his money.Broncos said:

Agreed - although a couple of other restaurant entrepreneurs in town have told me that the only person who doesn't lose $ in his entities is Tai …. That may be jealousy. There was never any way the construction cost of the Urban Table and its location were going to be successful. I was surprised it made it as long as it did. I would have bet on failure 18 months ago. Although its original timing may have made COVID era loans and grants helpful….

What's up with his food truck? I used to visit when he would set up in town. But doesn't he have some sort of exclusive contact with TAMU and only sets up on campus? I used to love it when I could grab dinner from his truck when he was at the parking lot in Tower Point.

Yep, we need another coffee place to go along with the plethora of chicken strip and nail salons!

I bet it kills it with all the students there. So many walk across the street to that gas station every morning and during lunch.
I'm just kidding. Seems like the goal is to get a coffee place on every corner.
I personally love it. Now if we could get Lamppost Coffee here, my life would be completeTXAGBQ76 said:

LOL!
I have Coyote Moon a close walk from my house. Bring on the coffee joints!
Really cool to see so many local, or at least Texas based coffee places opening here.

Do you live in Beverley Estates?
Carter Creek area.
PJs's has something all those other coffee places don't. Beignets. That's enough to get me in the door at least once.TXAGBQ76 said:
