I had never heard of Alamo Drafthouse before yesterday. Now, I really want one.

Anything fun or attractive to fill in the surface lot bordered by McNellies, Joe Mommas, and Fleet Feet.

Please

Multi-level mall, drinking/food establishments, apartments/condos...Hell, mini-golf course, escalator to nowhere, whatever.

I thought about starting a thread on that post.  While that person was obviously doing something obnoxious.  I think that if done politely, you could text in that theater under the table without bothering others since there are already lights under the tables.  Although I bet your cell phone is brighter.

It's kinda like the "no electronics on during takoff/landing" rule on airplanes. Any little bit of leniency will be abused and its easier to have a strict, blanket policy.

Pinot's Palette!  

I had a friend just go and she said they (group of 6) had a blast.  It's not something I would go to often but every once in while I think it would be fun with a group or another friend.  I imagine enough others in a metro with close to a mil. would to make it viable.  It would be another destination to bring one downtown for dinner and other activities.

Upscale steakhouse.  Ruth's Chris would be my preference.

I think the concept of Pinot's Palette is good.  I think it would be very hard to judge demand for that type of thing.

I want a big bakery that has great breakfast stuff for the office, hearty sandwiches for lunch and great bread by the loaf to take home for dinner.

Some place to fill a growler with good beer, be it a liquor store, brewpub, or just a regular bar that fills growlers. Since that's not likely to happen any time soon due to hypocritical lawmakers (small government, lack of gov't interference in commerce, ha!), a regular liquor store.

I'd also like a walgreens or similar store.

And some more takeout places that are open nights/weekends. Some more places in the mold of the Dog House (open late, counter service) would be great.

Agreed! Alamo Drafthouse is the most awesome movie-going experience I've ever had.

Another vote for Alamo Drafthouse... preferably in that huge parking lot south of McNellie's.

'twould be awesome.

What boutique shopping is there besides Dwelling Spaces? Downtown, Cherry Street and Brookside are all lacking in cool places to shop.

Meant to say "Shop"   Fixed it

Movie theater in the building just north of El Guapo.

How about a Mahogany or McGill's since those are both area companies?  I've never eaten at Ruth's Chris so I cannot comment as to the food or experience, I simply tend to try to be more loyal to local companies and proprietors.

Besides, why would you support Ruth's Chris?  Major Sean Hannity sponsor

With the current retail/entertainment/dining-scape in downtown, I'd love to see some sort of dense residential or mixed-use development which includes reasonably affordable residential to the east of the Joe Momma's/Boomtown/Max/Back Alley area.
