Avoca Coffee headed to Magnolia

By: Kevin Buchanan

At long last, a local coffee shop is headed to Magnolia Avenue in the Near Southside.  The former Sundance Scooters building at Magnolia & 6th will soon be home to Avoca Coffee, a new indie coffee shop by owners Jimmy Story and Garold LaRue.  For context, the site is across the street from Magnolia from Spiral Diner, Lili’s, and Panther City Bicycles, a block east of Nonna Tata and The Usual, and a block west of the Chat Room.

Avoca hopes to be far enough along to host artists during Arts Goggle on October 2nd, and they’re shooting for a November grand opening.  The building will serve double duty, with the eastern half (on the left) serving as the roasting facility (yes, they’re roasting their own beans), while the western half on the right will function as the actual coffee shop.  Haven’t heard too many details of the renovations yet, but I’ve heard some talk of bringing the western end of the building out closer to Magnolia, as well as an outdoor patio on the Magnolia frontage.

A local coffee shop has been a missing piece of the Magnolia puzzle for a long time, so this is a great development.  Increasing the variety of businesses on Magnolia, and giving people places to do more than just come in and dine, will help with Magnolia’s pedestrian and bike activity as well, since people will spend more time if there’s more than just restaurants.  Can’t wait to see how Avoca turns out.

ArtAffects Gallery – New Art Gallery on Magnolia

By: Kevin Buchanan

Located in the same building as Cat City Grill, ArtAffects Gallery opened earlier this month in the ground floor of 1208 W. Magnolia in the Near Southside.  A small two-room gallery space, ArtAffects showcases emerging regional artists working in contemporary and abstract styles.

You can’t help but notice the space as you walk or bike the street – the lights stay on until midnight, and with the works being right up on the sidewalk, the impact of the art gets transmitted right out into the public realm.  Currently, ArtAffects is featuring the work of Starr Perry, whose bold and bright artwork has found her clients ranging from Westin and NYLO hotels to Trammell Crow and London’s Heathrow Airport.

ArtAffects is run by central city resident Katie Dillow, who intends for the gallery to become an active part of the Near Southside community and the city’s art scene as a whole, both by participation in events like Arts Goggle and by working with local businesses who want to enhance their own spaces with local art (an example being a recent event at Grace in downtown).

After years of Magnolia storefronts being mainly occupied by restaurants and offices, it’s great to see some variety starting to emerge.  ArtAffects is a cool establishment that splashes art right onto the sidewalks and bike lanes of Magnolia Avenue, and I can’t wait to see it grow and evolve over time.

Check out ArtAffect’s web site for more.  Here are some other photos of the gallery in the evening:

BizPress on Trinity Bicycles

By: Kevin Buchanan

Bike shop caters to commuter-cyclist – Fort Worth Business Press.  Nice story about the Near Southside’s Trinity Bicycles.  Kudos to the Business Press for A) using “Near Southside” rather than “Hospital District” (the Star-Telegram still has trouble with that one) and B) for the mention of our bike parking project.

The Canopy at 8.0

By: Kevin Buchanan

A quick note:  there’s the new translucent canopy structure Sundance Square installed over the patio at 8.0 in Downtown.  Not too bad looking, though I hear it causes something of a greenhouse effect.  It’ll allow concerts in the rain while still letting the trees get sunlight.

Blue Sushi Sake Grill Progress

By: Kevin Buchanan

Looks as though Blue Sushi Sake Grill is rolling right along in its future home – the ground floor of the Museum Place Flatiron, where 7th, University, Camp Bowie, and Bailey come together, across the street from Eddie V’s.

Blue is, oddly, an import from Omaha, Nebraska.  There are three locations in Omaha, with the Museum Place location being its first venture out of that area.  So, if anybody out there has been through Omaha and dined at Blue, what did you think?

Citizen Theater Location Update

By: Kevin Buchanan

Our friends over at the Citizen Theater have posted an update on their search for a location for the planned twin-screen art house movie theater in the Near Southside:

We have some exciting news. We’ve thought a lot about where we want The Citizen to be. Prevoiusly we were trying to renovate an older buidling but through this process we’ve realized that we really want to be close to Spiral and be part of the neighborhood that has already been so good to us. Our new plan is to purchase an empty lot right on Maganolia Ave, really close to Spiral. This will put us right in the middle of everything. Best of all we will be able to design the building exactly how we want and up to LEED standards. It’s very exciting.

The Citizen is also seeking investors from the community – head over to the Citizen web site to contact Amy about becoming one.

West 7th Phase II Progress

By: Kevin Buchanan

Phase II of the West 7th development is well underway now.  This view, taken from on high looking southwest into the Phase II block, shows the materials being staged on the main site of the new loft/retail building, as well as excavation and construction work for the parking garage that will sit behind Fred’s.

This new construction at West 7th will fill out the last vacant block around the development’s signature intersection at Crockett & Currie, and will add 96 new loft apartments atop 25,000 square feet of new retail space.  About 75% of the original phase retail is leased, and the current lofts are 99% leased.  The project is, as before, a development of Cypress Equities.

Below is an elevation drawing of the second phase loft/retail building, as seen from the north (the main Crockett Street facade).

An Urban Jack in the Box, Because Why Not?

By: Kevin Buchanan

That, believe it or not, is a new-from-the-ground-up Jack in the Box.  It’s located on Berry Street, across from the GrandMarc and just down the street from places like Fuzzy’s and the new TCU bookstore.  It replaced a more typical suburban-style Jack in the Box on the same site.

Whatever one’s opinion of Jack in the Box as a place to eat, we have to give them kudos for building a store that actually fits into the more pedestrian-oriented goals of the Berry Street makeover.  This new store is right up on the sidewalk, has street-facing entrances, patio dining out front, plenty of windows on the street, and an at least somewhat interesting street facade design.  It’s not perfect (we’d have preferred it be more level with the sidewalk at the corner), but given the typical fast food box, it’s darned near miraculous.

We’re guessing a lot of city and neighborhood pressure was needed to get this result, but we’re glad to see a company like Jack in the Box willing to build something pedestrian-oriented.  We’ve said many times that the programming of the retail spaces isn’t as important as getting the form of the building right, and this is a great example – a lot of our readers are probably not big Jack in the Box fans, but by building a properly urban structure the restaurant is at least being a good citizen of the streetscape and helping to create a better, pedestrian-enticing public realm.

MK’s Sushi Headed to West 7th

By: Kevin Buchanan

MK’s Sushi, which looks to have gotten its start in Bedford, is headed for Cypress Equities’ West 7th development.  It’s been added to the West 7th web site, with an address of 2801 W. 7th – that’s roughly in the ground floor of the office/retail building at 7th & Foch, according to Google Maps.

MK’s menu appears to be pretty well-rounded, including several vegetarian options.  No word just yet on an opening date.

West 7th Phase II Underway

By: Kevin Buchanan

Left-to-right:  Michael Wheat (Cypress Equities Senior Vice President of Leasing), Fernando Costa (Fort Worth Assistant City Manager for Infrastructure Services), Dale Fisseler (Fort Worth City Manager), Bill Thornton (President and CEO of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce), Tom Higgins (Fort Worth Assistant City Manager for Economic and Community Development), Kirk Williams (Cypress Equities Senior Vice President of Development), John Fainter (Cypress Equities Vice President of Development), and Joel Burns (Fort Worth City Council Member District 9).

Phase II of the West 7th development by Cypress Equities officially got underway today with a groundbreaking attended by several Cypress and Fort Worth city officials.  Phase II’s site is the “southeast block”, bounded by Currie, Crockett, and Foch, with a parking garage that will go behind Fred’s to the south.

The next phase of West 7th is comprised of 96 new loft apartments on the upper floors above 25,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.  The additional residential and retail space comes thanks in part to the strong leasing of the original phase – around 75% of the original retail space is leased, and the loft apartments in the first phase are 99% leased.

Below is a rendering of the new phase, showing the new building’s Crockett facade.  Click to embiggen:

The new building is of complimentary style to those on the other three blocks from Phase I, and will fully complete the Crockett & Currie intersection, where unique corner elements come together in the center of the project.  Additional renderings of Phase II can be found in the gallery below.  Hats off to Cypress for keeping the project rolling during rough economic times – we’re looking forward to seeing Phase II rise.

New Public Market Pursuing Weekly Farmers Market on Magnolia Avenue

By: Kevin Buchanan

The New Public Market, which we wrote about recently in a larger post about urban agriculture & local food culture in Fort Worth, has an eventual goal of leasing the historic Public Market building on Henderson to serve as a market once again.  So far, they’ve been holding a monthly market day at Into the Garden on Camp Bowie, but after speaking with Sally Birthisel from the group, it turns out they’ve got another project in mind – one that would be very cool for the Near Southside.

If they can get together $2,500 in funds for permits and the initial food purchase, the group plans a weekly Farmers Market on Magnolia Avenue in the Near Southside.  The market would be held on the lot between the Chat Room and JJ Robb Real Estate, on Magnolia between Lake and 5th Avenue.  We can only imagine how popular such a market would become with Near Southside residents, especially right in the heart of one of the most active parts of Magnolia.

Obviously, one of the ways they do this is membership, which starts at $25 per year.  For more information, check out the New Public Market site.  We wish them luck – we’d love to see a Farmers Market every week in a location that’s easily walkable and bikeable.

Food Carts (of a Sort) in the Near Southside?

By: Kevin Buchanan

We got an interesting e-mail from a reader today letting us know that a food cart (or more accurately, a food trailer) has come to the Near Southside.  Here’s JP’s letter about the new food cart next to Gordon Boswell Florist that’s been created by the Chef Point restaurant from Watauga:

Are you familiar with Chef Point (Watauga’s popular restaurant inside a gas station)?  In an effort to expand their business to Ft. Worth, they are experimenting with a food cart (well… “trailer” actually) in the Near Southside every Wednesday afternoon for lunch from 11:00 – 3:00.  They are occupying that parking space next to the Gordon Boswell Florist, across from Harris Hospital on Pennsylvania Avenue.  Today was their first day, and without doing much advertising, business was relatively quiet when I popped by a little before 1:00.

They offer many of the same items you can find inside their original restaurant:  burgers, sandwiches, fried chicken, chicken fried steak, pastas, salads, and soups (although neither lobster bisque nor clam chowder seemed appealing in the 100 degree + parking lot today).  They also have their delicious bread pudding for dessert.  I wish patrons would petition that they bring their vegetable quiche to the mobile restaurant.  It’s definitely one of the best meals I’ve ever had… from a gas station, no less.

I thought Chef Point’s food truck might have been in response to last month’s Food Network extravaganza where all those food carts stopped off in Ft. Worth on their race across the country (part of a new reality show).  Actually, according to their chef, this mobile restaurant project has been in the works for nearly a year.

Here’s hoping it leads to more of the same!  As you’ve mentioned on your blog several times, I think our city is ready for more mobile food vendors.  I’ve really enjoyed them in walkable cities like Portland — as well as larger sprawls like L.A.  It’d be great to see people supporting Chef Point in an effort to promote the food cart culture here in Fort Worth.

So – has anybody else out there stumbled across the Chef Point trailer while out and about in the Near Southside on Wednesdays?  We can’t help but imagine that food carts might attract more of a draw somewhere on Magnolia, where there’s at least some foot traffic from more than just one hospital, but it’s still an interesting development.

West 7th Phase II Breaks Ground Thursday, June 24th

By: Kevin Buchanan

Cypress Equities has just told us that later this month, on Thursday the 24th, they’ll be holding a groundbreaking ceremony for Phase II of the West 7th development.  The Phase II groundbreaking will be for the southeast block, the last missing piece of the Crockett & Currie intersection.  The southeast block was once planned for a hotel, but we’ve heard that instead the block will become another mixed-use building with residential lofts over retail space.  The southeast block construction will also wrap around behind Fred’s, as can be seen in the aerial photo above.

The groundbreaking ceremony will be held from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM on Thursday the 24th in the Movie Tavern, upstairs and across the street from the southeast block.  This should provide a clear view over the site, and Cypress will undoubtedly be talking about the plans for the development’s second phase.

We are looking forward to seeing more buildings rising at West 7th.  The development has thus far been the most successful of all the 7th Street projects at creating a real sense of place and making walkable, livable, and enjoyable spaces, and getting the last corner of Crockett & Currie filled in will make it even better.  We hope to have some renderings and other information on Phase II shortly.

Temaki Sushi Coming to Magnolia Avenue

By: Kevin Buchanan

One of the few gaps in the restaurant selection of the Near Southside’s Magnolia Avenue looks to be getting filled:  pictured above is the future home of “Temaki Sushi,” going in to the building above, located in the same block (between 7th & Hurley) as King Tut, Hoagie’s Sandwiches, Darrell Whitsel Florist, and other local establishments.

Beyond the banner (promising an opening “in the fall”), there’s not too much info out there just yet about Temaki.  Presumably, it will offer the expected assortment of both fish & vegetarian sushi in various forms, but we’ll be curious to see the full menu.

Patrizio, Fireside Pies Progressing at West 7th

By: Kevin Buchanan

Two Italian eateries, Patrizio and Fireside Pies, are headed for the West 7th development, across Crockett Street and the central plaza space from each other.  Work on Patrizio is much farther along – a recent update on the Patrizio site indicated an “April 2010″ opening for the restaurant, which is obviously not true, but it looks close nevertheless.

Work on Fireside Pies has been underway for a short time.  There’s not yet an opening date that we’ve seen, but things are definitely moving forward for these two new West 7th tenants.

Citizen Theater Coming To South Main

By: Kevin Buchanan

Fort Worthians who have been pining for an indie art house movie theater for urban Fort Worth have cause to celebrate, for it is now official: the city’s first such theater, the Citizen, is headed to the Near Southside. Owners Amy McNutt and James Johnston (of Spiral Diner and local indie film scene fame) have got a big, very cool announcement for us.

The Citizen has posted on their blog that they finally have their building. The theater will be located at 701 South Main, not far from the former Motheral Printing site where a major mixed-use development is being planned (and also just around the corner from the Rahr brewery – and not far down the road from the other end of South Main Village with the Sawyer apartments, Miller Lofts, and Landers Machine Shop Gallery). The building (seen in its current state in the photo below), according to our info, dates from around 1939 and has been vacant for some time. Given some of the things we’ve heard discussed about the Citizen, we are really looking forward to seeing the building progress.

The Citizen will be a twin-screen theater showing new art house and classic repertory films. Naturally, it’ll come equipped with a vegan snack bar.

For more info on the Citizen (we know they’re interested in investors), check their web site at thecitizentheater.com

Local Business For The Streetcar

By: Kevin Buchanan

Our friends at Trinity Bicycles, the new bike shop in South Main Village in the Near Southside, have written their own letter of support for the modern streetcar project and have posted it on their site.  Here it is:

As you all know, one of our biggest missions here at Trinity Bicycles is increasing the viable transportation options for our neighbors here in Fort Worth. Obviously, we think bikes should play a big role in Fort Worth’s transportation future.

We’re not solely pro-bike, though. We’ve been around long enough to know that all alternative (read: non-car) transportation options tend to fare better when they are interconnected, plentiful, and even somewhat redundant.

That’s why we want to ask everyone who believes that our city needs more and varied transportation alternatives to show up at tomorrow’s (ed. – That would be tonight’s meeting now) Fort Worth City Council meeting at 7 p.m. to show your support for the City’s modern streetcar plan.

The vote to hire transportation super-planners HDR (they worked on Portland’s system) was supposed to happen 2 weeks ago, but it was postponed until tomorrow evening, and there was some rumbling that the political winds may have been shifting and the plan might not get funded.

Word today is that the vote is likely to be successful after all, but it is not something we as citizens should leave to chance. We need to make it clear to our elected officials that their constituents want real choices on how they move about their city. Please come help us fill the council chambers with streetcar supporters, and thereby help the Mayor and City Council feel good about their decision to vote to fund the planning phase of the streetcar project. And of course, having a crowd visibly supportive of a Streetcar system might come in handy just in case any votes are wavering tomorrow night.

We know it must seem scary for a city council member to vote to spend a large amount of money on a project that will take years to come to fruition. But the truth is, as a city, we just can’t afford not to take this step. We are being left behind every day we do not move forward with bringing our transportation system into the 21st century.

How many young, creative, active people do you know who have moved to a “cooler” city (Austin and Portland come to mind) to pursue careers? I know too many, all of whom said they “loved Fort Worth, but….”

Even our neighbors to the East in Dallas have seen how transit options can revitalize neighborhoods. Just look at what’s happening in Oak Cliff, Knox Henderson, or just about anywhere along the light rail lines they have built.

And right here in Fort Worth, I can tell you from personal experience, just the very promise of a Streetcar system has improved the economy. Trinity Bicycles chose to relocate from Irving, TX, to its location at 207 S. Main in part because it was on a proposed streetcar line. Now the final space in a long-empty historic building is filled, and not just with any business– a retail business that will be putting sales tax into the City coffers.

If we chose a location based on a system that hasn’t even been started yet, imagine how many more businesses will move into town if the system actually gets built…

Sushi Restaurant Headed To Museum Place Flatiron Building

By: Kevin Buchanan

The Business Press is reporting that Blue Sushi Sake Grill is headed to the ground floor of the Museum Place Flatiron Building:

Blue Sushi Sake Grill leased the ground floor at 3131 W. Seventh St., known as the Flatiron building, in Fort Worth’s Museum Place mixed-use development. The building is located at the intersection of University Drive and Camp Bowie Boulevard. Blue Sushi Sake Grill inked a lease for 5,560 square feet with plans to open in fall 2010.

We’re not familiar with Blue, and a quick Google search seems to indicate that there are three locations – all of them in Omaha, Nebraska.

Daiches Building To Be Saved, Restored

By: Kevin Buchanan


(Photo by John Roberts, fortwortharchitecture.com)

Fantastic news for Fort Worth historic preservation!  What is commonly called the “Daiches Building” sits at Houston & Weatherford in Downtown, right across the street from the Tarrant County Courthouse.  So-called for the jewelry store that has inhabited its ground floor for the last 81 years, the building was built in 1910 and is basically the only original “courthouse square” structure still standing in even somewhat original condition.  It was given a ground-floor modernizing in 1955 (when the blue mosaic tile was added), but otherwise looks totally original, if rather shabby.

With Joe Daiches relocating, there were many fears among Fort Worth preservationists and urbanists that the little building would be plowed into the ground for a parking lot, has happened to two neighboring buildings not many years ago.  We are very happy to report, though, that the building will live on.  We were contacted today by commercial real estate broker David Tuttle, who is announcing that he and investor Darwin German have acquired the building and  are restoring it to its original condition for adaptive re-use.

The building’s 1955 ground floor remodeling will be removed, and the entire original appearance restored.  Upstairs, the 2nd and 3rd floor were a hotel until the 1970s and have been vacant since.  Describing the 2nd and 3rd floor as being “like a time capsule,” the original suites still include tons of original details, including original doors, transom windows, hardware, wood floors, chair rails, molding and tin ceiling tiles.

The plan is to restore the 2nd and 3rd floors and lease the suites as office space with all the modern amenities.  It is intended that the ground floor be leased as retail space – ideally, the owners want to see a coffee shop or sandwich place go in.

This is a great victory for Fort Worth historic preservation, and it’s also a great victory to keep this building active and engaged with its surroundings instead of becoming another blank parking lot.  We are looking forward to seeing the building’s restoration progress and hope to bring you photos as it goes.

City Place For Sale

By: Kevin Buchanan

Color us not suprised:

The Dallas developer that owns City Place — the high-profile redevelopment of the Tandy Center twin towers in downtown Fort Worth — has put the property on the block.

A year ago, PNL Cos. put the vacant, 19-story One City Place tower at Third and Taylor streets up for sale. PNL’s original plan was to make that tower a condo building when the anchor tenant, RadioShack, moved out several years ago.

But now, Jones Lang LaSalle, the real estate broker representing PNL, said it might be easier to sell the 1.2 million-square-foot project in its entirety, not in pieces. The time to sell is right, the broker said, because credit is loosening in commercial markets and real estate investment funds are ready to start spending again.

We’ve been thinking for a while that the City Place project had stalled, given how each plan from PNL became progressively less and less impressive as time went on.  Most recently, they had abandoned the plan to demolish part of the old Tandy Center mall and re-open 2nd Street through the project – which was one going to be one of the more positive aspects of the plan, as the huge Tandy Center superblock seriously breaks up pedestrian patterns and getting 2nd back would have helped tremendously to re-open that part of Downtown and make it more walkable and connected.  (The image above is from the initial, much more impressive redevelopment plan, with 2nd re-opened and a better mix of uses.)  Will be interesting to see how quickly the property sells and what its eventual new owners plan to do with it – here’s hoping that the re-opening of 2nd Street and the outward-facing street level retail (not the existing mall style space) will be a part of the plan.

Sammy’s Pizza Taking Over Picchi Pacchi

By: Kevin Buchanan

Something of a reshuffling in the Downtown restaurant biz is underway.  After 15 years, Picchi Pacchi – the Italian eatery at 5th & Main, in the ground floor of the gorgeous Sinclair Building – has been sold.

They’ve been sold to another Downtown restauranteur:  none other than Al Muric, the man behind late-night Italian fav Sammy’s Pizza a couple of blocks away in the heart of Sundance Square.  Sez DFW.com:

Muric says the name Picchi Pacchi will still hold, but “I’m changing the whole atmosphere.”

Look for a menu nearly identical to Sammy’s, which serves pizza, spaghetti, gyros, chicken piccata and heckuva lot more.

What’s more, the new Picchi Pacchi will adopt Sammy’s hours, which is a great sign for those of us who like having some late-night/early morning activity in our urban areas.  The new hours will be 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Thursday, and 11:00 AM to 3:00 AM Friday and Saturday.

We liked Picchi Pacchi, but we’ve also long had a soft spot for Sammy’s, and it’s great to see Al’s success growing.  Remodeling is already underway after hours, and it looks as though the new place launches around April 1st.

West 7th Grand Opening

By: Kevin Buchanan

At last night’s West 7th Spring Bash, Mayor Moncrief and representatives of developer Cypress Equities were on hand to officially cut the ribbon on the big new mixed-use development.  Prior to the ribbon cutting, Mayor Moncrief spoke about the development, reiterating several of the points from his State of the City address – that Fort Worth must continue to encourage central-city growth with denser, walkable mixed-use developments rather than solely continue to sprawl.

Cypress shut down Crockett Street between Currie and Norwood, giving plenty of space for attendees to stroll around in a car-free setting.  Residents of the lofts upstairs were out on their balconies having their own parties and waving to Spring Bash attendees below.  Bars were set up in the central plaza, and of course the retailers open thus far were open and encouraging people to visit (Cypress, in fact, gave the mayor a pair of boots from Heritage Boots, one of the development’s ground-floor retailers).  Newly opened Terra Mediterranean Grill was showing off their very cool outdoor bar on Crockett, set up to face the sidewalk.  At the end of the block, a stage was set up where the band Reckless Kelly performed throughout the night.

It was a fun event and a great way to officially open the West 7th development.  Congrats to Cypress Equities on this impressive project – we look forward to seeing how it matures and continues to build out the remaining blocks and fill the last tenant spaces.
