Corkscrew closes doors on W. 20th Corkscrew closing
The Corkscrew Wine Bar announced on its Facebook page that it was closing effective June 28, 2016. The post said the close was “due to an immediate issue regarding the location/extension of current lease.” The post also said that “this break up is temporary and we want you to know it’s not you, it’s us. We hope to see our customers again soon at another location in our neighborhood.”
First tenant for Yale development
Rocky Stevens said that the first signed tenant for his development in the former Dorsey’s Beauty Academy across from Yale Street Grill is The Joint chiropractic. Their website states that their mission is “to improve quality of life through routine and affordable chiropractic care delivered through a nationwide network of modern, comfortable chiropractic clinics staffed with experienced,
licensed chiropractors.” There are still one or two spots available at the space, including room for a signature restaurant. Interested? Call 713-409-2259.

Forest Pines swim instructor a mainstay among local swimmers to be my students,” Young said. Since Young’s pool is outside, the weather dictates when lessons start and end, typically May through September. She invested in a pool canopy so she can teach throughout the day. Another draw for students? Bubba, Young’s 19 year old hyacinth macaw, sits near the pool. “We went to the grand opening of the movie Rio at Edwards,” said Young. “He’s a dear.” It’s not just swimming that’s a passion for Young. During the school year she teaches motorcycle lessons at the Harley-Davidson on 290 at Hwy 6. During the summer, she teaches on weekends. “I’ve been riding since 1994 and teaching since 2010,” said Young, who got hooked when Harley-Davidson used to offer half-price Wednesdays. She would drop her kids at school at Oak Forest Elementary and ride during the day. “I was helping a friend learn how to ride,” she said. “I just loved it.” She also offers water aerobics on Tuesdays and Thursdays and teaches yoga too. This jack of all trades can be reached at 281-380-8872 or noortje@sbcglobal.net.

Sitting on a double lot between 8th and 9th Streets at 829 Yale Street in the Heights, The Leader’s readers will notice a small condominium complex under construction. The new mid-rise, called the Victoria, is a development project under the umbrella of Fisher Homes. The Victoria will stand seven stories tall when completed, with the top five floors hosting condominiums and the first two, parking garages. The new structure replaces an old car repair shop, and a used furniture outlet. With only 40 units, the Victoria is designed to provide a boutique environment with
high-end amenities customarily found in larger developments. There will be a rooftop deck, private gym, guest suite and party room. The building is slated for move-in beginning in 2017, with five of the 40 units under contract now. The size of the units run from about 890 square feet to 2,100 square feet. The address is zoned to Harvard Elementary School, Hogg Middle School and Reagan High School and officials hope it will be attractive to families with young children which has been a growing demographic in the Heights area. “A person can get into the Victoria for $250,000, making it one of the only places in the Heights that is still affordable,” said Victoria builder, developer and Heights resident,

If you’ve been a swimming instructor for 35 years, it stands to reason that you’re probably pretty good at it. Nora Young has taught countless children in The Leader area how to swim and she’s still going strong. “I bought this house 26 years ago for the shape of the pool,” said Young. “It was vinyl then.” Young was born in Holland and moved to Houston when she was four. She came from a swimming family, and used to take her own mother’s students when her mom was on vacation. Young also taught lessons in college. When she started out in her Forest Pines neighborhood, Young went door to door with flyers and later put flyers out at local schools. “I had a big clientele,” Young said. “I was packed for group lessons. I didn’t do private lessons.” Then Pengu opened in Garden Oaks and Young saw a significant reduction in her business. She started doing private lessons again, as well as the popular group lesson. One Oak Forest playgroup of four and five year olds started with Ms. Nora, as she
is called by students, for lessons a month ago. The parents pay $20 for their child to spend an hour’s time in the pool. The lessons have been a hit. “My son wouldn’t put his head under when we started and now he’s really comfortable,” said Lindsey Levy. “Ms. Nora is very good at making kids comfortable. She’s also really good at breaking down each stroke.” Part of the group lesson is free play as Young cycles through the students and gives them individual instruction. “Nobody has to sit on the side,” said Young. Private lessons are a dollar per minute, so $30 for a half hour and $60 for the full hour. Group rates are dependent on the number of people in the group. Young says that 3 year olds must start with private lessons until she gets a feel for their comfort and skill in the water. It’s not just younger kids she teaches – in May, Young gets older students who are brushing up on their strokes for summer swim team and she even has a student from St. Pius who is preparing for her school’s swim team. “Some of the coaches at Blue Marlin Swim Team used

Oak Forest Homeowners Association Michelle Reilly asked Oak Forest if anyone help a homeless man down 43rd street. “I just took him a sandwich and bottle of water,” said Reilly. “He was not very receptive, seemed more content with his gas station coffee and cigarettes…he reluctantly took my offerings anyway.” Kim Alderete replied to the post saying that she saw him at the picnic benches. “He looked pretty pitiful, so I gave him every coin I could find,” Alderete said. “He said thank you, and looked at the ground in despair. I’d love to give him more help.” For those of you looking for places to swim this summer, Lorraine McIntosh posted about the White Oak Con-
ference Center Pool. Public swim hours are on Tuesdays from 1-8, and Fridays from 1-4.

Vertical development for Gulf Coast Commercial
Patrick Egan with Gulf Coast Commercial said the plan for a vertical retail development at the former Tarkett site off Interstate 10 near the Heights is still what they are working toward, but because of the complexity of the development the plans are taking time. “A vertically integrated shopping center would fit well with the area,” said Egan. “It’s probably not something we would do in a suburban development.” He estimates final plans by the late third quarter with a 16 to 18 month delivery time frame. No tenant news but Egan did say that parking is planned to be out front of the stores, both to give a long line of sight and for safety purposes.
