Will Bookstop be torn down? Swamplot
I worked there for about three years, and I imagine it is as sleepy today as ever. I was a really bad employee.
I would imagine any wrecking balls will have a tough time getting traction... All the lawyer heavies come in, and the River Oaks high schoolers (the girls always have black eyes and bandages from nosejobs each August) with their AmEx parents.
The building is the oldest remaining theater in Houston, and the crazy colors and murals are from a short-lived Italian Seafood restaurant that operated there in the 80s. Sometimes people would come in and say they saw The Empire Strikes Back there- I bet it was the last film ever shown in the theater.
p.s.- it has been on the endangered list for over a year.

It's a shame that the city of Houston feels the need to destroy and rebuild stuff instead of reclaim it like the unique and impressive job done with the strip center at shepherd/durham/washington.
