There's a report that a bar will be built where Jacks grocery was. Anyone else heard that? 4951

I don't see how anything can go in that building @sweetie. If any business is stupid enough to go into business there, I sincerely hope, we tax payers, are not the one to bail them out.  That place has flooded what 3 times in the last 3 years?  The whole building should be demolished.  How could any business get insurance at that spot?  
 
@Fallon:
 
They have to tear it down ...maybe a bar on stilts then everybody can get one.of those water/flood proof car bags lol... 4951

they started the build out before the storm.  it is in the old kingwood cove day care part of the strip center.someone has been in and cleaned all the windows of all the spaces.  when you come down forest cove drive, you can see the roof of the restaurant (el rio) is compromised. 4951

if you look at the center - the restaurant end (closest to forest cove drive) was added on sometime after the center was built.  the side walk does not match in elevation, the back of the building is not flush with the rest of the building.they may just have to take the restaurant end off and the rest of the structure may be ok.jack's must be a money making joint in order to rebuild. 4951

@princecharming:
 
When I drive by there last week, the end where the preschool was led like construction was going on inside, lots of fresh looking 2X4s. There is a large new FOR LEASE sign in front of the building. It wouldn't surprise me if he is starting over with new suckers.
 
And it was 3 times in just 2 years. Two in 2016 and 1 in 2017! 4951

@Wooderson: Taking the initial risk to go uninsured is one thing, but they also need to stick to it after flooding, and not scream for a buyout or a bailout if they can’t afford to rebuild. That’s the problem with a lot of places...they didn’t plan for that some day rainy day.

@gigem09:
 
 
If you think about it --- if they don't put anything but table & chairs, counter & bar stools and equipment that can moved quickly but still meeting health codes - they could move everything out if a flood is predicted. Then, the damage is to the owner of the building, not to the renter.  It could work - but I don't know if I would want a sleezy beer joint in my neighborhood. They could make it something like Gators - but I think that's moving to 494. 4951

 My daughter took me to eat at a Mexican restaurant on Hamblin before Harvey. Don't remember the name.... but it was on the corner of a strip center... and the owner was very nice,,,  and food was good. He also had his own "special mix" of tequila that worked quite well...  Emoticon 4951
