A lot has changed in Theo Lawrenceâs neighborhood in the past 10 years.
âMy kid and I used to throw the ball up and down Columbia (Street),â Lawrence said. âThere was rarely a car. Now thereâs traffic up and down the street continuously.â
This is largely because his street intersects with White Oak Drive â and its numerous new restaurants and businesses, including bars. But Lawrenceâs home â as well as part of White Oak Drive between Heights Boulevard and Oxford Street â is also part of the Houston Heights Historic District South as designated by the City of Houston. And he says he enjoys the safeguards such status provides.
Now heâs blocked in.
Blair, a Heights resident and the owner of the Berryhill restaurants, bought a piece of property across from the East 11th Street location in 2007. That same year he purchased another plot of land two lots to the west, and he said his plan at the time was to assemble contiguous lots between Beverly Street and Oxford Street, with the hope of developing it or selling it to someone else who would do the same.
But his vision fizzled out, Blair said, in part because some of those commercial properties cannot be accessed through the alley that runs behind them. The fenced backyards of some of the residential properties on the opposite side of the alley extend through them, essentially blocking off the alley.

2M Smokehouse in San Antonio previously served its delectable smoked barbacoa only on the first Sunday of each month. Luckily for fans, Esaul Ramos and partners have now decided to offer barbacoa every Sunday.
A couple of weeks ago,
Zavala’s Barbecue in Grand Prairie tested smoking barbacoa-style whole cow head. I was there to sample the first iteration, and it was amazing. Zavala’s is offering the special again this Saturday. Don’t miss out.
Tired of sub-par head? So, are we! Come taste the difference this Saturday! pic.twitter.com/bqGzwOw8Z6
