By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com The City of Houston’s June announcement that it is investing more than $52 million in federal Hurricane Harvey Recovery Program funds toward developing 624 affordable rental homes has implications for the area as two pending developments will benefit. Avenue CDC, a nonprofit that had previously announced plans for its Avenue on 34th development where Doyle’s Restaurant now stands, was awarded $7.4 million for its 70-unit project. The city’s Housing and Community Development Department said the Avenue project is part of an area “experiencing high rental costs that cause displacement of low- or moder-

The award amount for 900 Winston is $9.25 million. The HCDD said the development would be in an “area of low poverty concentration.” Ray Miller, public facilities assistant director for the HCDD, said 11 developers were selected for awards among 59 applicants. “Avenue on 34th stood out due to Avenue’s successful history developing affordable housing in the Near Northwest neighborhood,” Miller said. “Avenue’s Contributed artist’s rendering application to develop in the area was Avenue CDC, which plans to build an affordable housing complex called Avenue on
Baseball team capitalizes on assistance while giving back By Adam Zuvanich azuvanich@theleadernews.com
Charitable contributions are key for the Houston Crush select baseball organization, which relies on them to compete in more than 10 tournaments per season. Manager Rob Rollans said many of the players on the 12-and-under team come from underprivileged families that cannot afford to shell out $1,000 or more per year, which is typical in travel ball. The Crushers, as they call themselves, are grateful for the opportunities they are given and try to take advantage with their performance on the field. And they don’t take the help for granted, instead providing plenty themselves. Since forming four years ago, Rollans said players for the nonprofit youth baseball organization have volunteered with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Along with serving food to the hungry and delivering toys to kids in need, Rollans said the Crushers also helped Houstonians in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey by collecting shoes and coloring books for children in shelters in the Humble area. “It feels really good to give back to the community,” pitcher and catcher Tristan Garcia said. “It’s definitely important to me and the Crushers.” So is winning baseball games.

They are one of 15 teams entered in the 12U major division, which includes squads from all over Texas as well as Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. Rollans said the Crushers have reached the finals in nine of their 13 tournaments this year, winning four of them. They hope to add another title next week. “We have a good connection,” pitcher Julian Benitez said, “because we’ve all been playing for a long time together.” The Crushers displayed their pitching prowess and

Photo from Facebook La Vista 101, the restaurant located at 1805 W. 18th St., has closed.
Five minutes after a group of men left La Vista 101, locking the doors behind them, a group of three women arrived for lunch Monday. After discovering the restaurant was closed, the women were sorely disappointed. “I loved that place,” one
of them said. “That’s such a bummer.” Owner Greg Gordon announced on his personal Facebook page that he has closed the restaurant at 1805 W. 18th St. “Trying to survive for a year I can no longer keep doors open,” he wrote. It’s a sad end for a spot that many were excited about. Gordon told The Leader before his May
opening that he spent $1.1 million on the renovation of the former Pizza Hut, including $30,000 in structural changes. The restaurant was called La Vista 101 because Gordon signed a 20year ground lease for the spot April 11, which was the 101st day of the year. His former location in BriSee La Vista 101 P. 7A

Why America’s women’s soccer team deserved to win By Olivia Donohue The United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) is the best team and deserved to win the World Cup. They also won the last World Cup. This is their second consecutive win and they defeated all the opposing teams and seem to have a pattern of greatness. From beating Thailand with 13 goals (most goals ever scored in a FIFA World Cup) to slipping past France with two goals, they seem to have it down. Megan Rapinoe and Rose Lavelle scored the gamewinning goals in the finals, but they don’t just walk out there and play. The variable that sets them apart is that they train daily, rain or shine. You can’t deny that the USWNT is the best team. Overall they dominated the Women’s World Cup. As I watched on my television, they demonstrated strength and communication throughout the field. Everyone is always on the same page and is always out there enjoying the game, always seeking to better the team. The tournament occurs every four years, and when
they’re not playing, they’re training. They train vigorously to ensure a win. They usually run 30-35 miles every week of training. Not to mention the weight lifting and push-ups and sit-ups. It is amazing just how strong they are. They are one of the most respected and physically dominating teams in the world because of all their training. Many people who aren’t fans of the USWNT say that team’s players are arrogant because they celebrate their goals, but they do a great job and deserve to celebrate all their hard work paying off. It is, of course, natural that the USWNT should celebrate a job well done. There are limits, though. As a team it is important to show good sportsmanship and respect the opposing team. Overall, the USWNT does a great job playing soccer, and I am proud to have them as my national soccer team. It not only unifies the team but also the families that watch it. There is nothing like the feeling of pride after watching your team succeed. After all, they have saved our crown for another year!

from Raygun, an Iowa-based store which sells T-shirts and such showing local pride. It has launched a T-shirt with the Whataburger orange logo stripes and: “Chicago’s Most Famous Texas Hamburger Chain (as of June 2019).” Raygun then posted: “Now that Whataburger belongs to Chicago, we celebrate with a shirt.” And, stealing from our “Come and take it” battle cry, “Chicago came and took it.” We could start selling T-shirts reading; “Houston – soon to be bigger than Chicago.” (The Windy City with 2.7 million is losing population. Houston with 2.3 million is gaining.) As for Schlitterbahn, it sold a water park and resort in New Braunfels and another property in Galveston to Ohio-based Cedar Fair Entertainment Co. in a $261 million deal. Cedar Fair also will have the right to buy Schlitterbahn’s Kansas water park. The Kansas City park is where 10-year-old Caleb Schwab was decapitated in August of 2016 on a 17-story slide. The raft he was riding on went airborne and hit a metal pole. Prosecutors filed criminal charges against Schlitterbahn’s co-owner, the ride’s designer and a bunch of others. Nothing came of the charges. Nevertheless, Caleb’s family received nearly $20 million in settlements. So maybe it’s just as well that the parks are no longer Texas-owned. Sometimes Texas things (or thangs as they don’t say in Chicago) leave and come back. Texas Monthly was founded by Mike Levy of Dallas and Austin in 1973. Indiana-based Emmis Communications bought the magazine in 1998. In 2016, TM came home when it was purchased by Paul Hobby and others for $25 million. (Hobby could afford the price because of all that money from his family’s airport.) Now it has been sold again, this time to Randa Duncan Williams of Houston. Forbes 400 lists her wealth, inherited from her father, at $6.2 billion. So TM, “the national magazine of Texas,” has been sold, but still has a Lone Star owner. Now stay here. Before we get bent out of shape over foreign ownership of Texas, we must remember that a Chicago firm built our beautiful state capitol for free. Well, actually in exchange, we gave that Chicago firm land in 10 counties in the Panhandle. It is called the XIT Ranch – X (or 10) In Texas. The Houston Rockets and the Astros were once owned by out-of-staters, Les Alexander and John McMullen, respectively. Remember the expression: “I’m not from Texas, but I got here as soon as I could.” We bask in

Texas for sale in northern takeover THE WHATABURGER DRIVE-THRU – “I’ll take a Grease Glob with cheese and fries,” I say. The voice from behind the window says, “Ya want dat ta go, or you gonna sit der and eat it now and clog up da line behind you? Fugetaboutit!” Obviously there have been some changes in management here along with a change in ownership. Yes, our beloved Whataburger chain has been sold to Yankees, specifically some unknown, faceless financial group in Chicago, who thinks Chimney Rock is a dance and a half Nelson is Willie’s stepbrother. Then there is Schlitterbahn, that Texas-based outdoor water park which is being sold to a group in Ohio, Cedar Fair Entertainment Co., for $261 million. What’s next? We must fear that the Alamo will be bought by Ben & Jerry’s, featuring flavors like Bowie Knife Cream, Lemon Rose of Texas, The Ice of Texas, that Christmastime favorite, Santa Claus Anna and Remember the a la Mode. We can imagine how the San Jacinto Monument will look when Elon Musk fits it with fins and a nose cone and blasts it off to Mars. We could rent out the USS Texas to Gulf ports as a party boat. “Let’s give Greg a 21-gun salute! Oops. Sorry about that, Mobile.” How about selling the Johnson Space Center to a theme park corporation: “Visit the Lone Stars! You don’t have to be a Crockett scientist!” OK, we must not panic, so let’s look at these situations. First, how we got here. Whataburger was founded by Harmon Dobson and Paul Burton and opened its first restaurant in Corpus Christi in 1950. Now based in San Antonio, it has been family-owned by the Dobsons ever since. There are 824 Whataburger stores across the Southeast and Southwest. Adam Chandler, author of the forthcoming “Drive-Thru Dreams,” a book about the fast-food industry, wrote in none other than Time magazine, “In April 2001, a joint resolution passed the Texas House and Senate that declared Whataburger the state’s beloved fast-food chain, to be a ‘Texas Treasure.’ In the most Texan fashion imaginable, the bill honoring the burger institution was introduced by the state chair of the Texas Public Health Committee. Whataburger may be the only thing that Ted Cruz and Beto O’Rourke could both admit to loving.” Memes depicting heartbreak and offense were circulated. “182 men didn’t die at The Alamo just so we could give @Whataburger over to Chicago.” Chandler ends with: “Something does sting about seeing it go from a family-owned operation to a column in an investment-firm ledger in a faraway place. For many in the Lone Star State, there’s still an inescapable sense that Texas has just been messed with.” A final stab in the bun comes

reflected glory and claim outof-staters like George W. Bush (New Haven, Conn.), Dr. Michael DeBakey (Lake Charles), Walter Cronkite (Saint Joseph, Mo.) and Roger Clemens (Dayton, Ohio). We shall know if the Windy City takeover is complete when we hear a new version of this old joke: Three guys are driving across Texas when they come to the town of Mexia. The driver says, “Here we are, boys, in MEX-e-uh.” The second traveler says, “No, it’s pronounced MEX-eye-a.” The third traveler shakes his head. “You’re both wrong. It’s muh-HAY-yuh. Let’s stop at this hamburger joint and ask.” So they drive up, go in and sit down at a booth. “Excuse me, Miss,” says one of the travelers, “but how do you pronounce the name of this place?” The waitress sighs and says, “WIND-ees.” Ashby sells out at ashby2@ comcast.net
You’re probably thinking, “Seriously, macaroons are the hardest thing to bake. How can they be the new cupcakes?” Or at least that’s what you might have heard. Macaroons are so delicious that they surpass the classic cupcake in my book. When you think about macaroons you probably think of this fancy French dessert that only professionals make, but I say differently. To make macaroons you do not have to be a professional. When you learn how you prepare them, it’s actually pretty easy. All you need is buttercream, which is a mix of butter, sugar and milk. The actual cookie part is just egg whites, sugar and flour. So, it’s pretty simple. I will admit that it’s a little hard to not deflate the batter, but with a little practice it would be easy peasy. My favorite flavor of macaroon is pink lemonade. Even if you don’t want to make macaroons, you can still eat them because they are delicious. They are better than cupcakes for multiple reasons.
First of all, cupcakes only have two layers and macaroons have three layers. Macaroons come in many more flavors and they are smaller than cupcakes, so they can easily fit in your purse so that way you can eat it wherever you go. Macaroons also have so many textures. The cookie part is light and fluffy but crunchy, and the buttercream completes it with its smooth, thick, creamy icing. You can make macaroons all different shapes, while cupcakes are always the old classic shape. With cupcakes you can decorate it all you want, but it doesn’t look as creative if you just put toppings on it and it looks a little messy. It is also really hard to make it into shapes. Surprisingly, a really good place to buy macaroons is good ol’ Costco. Can macaroons be the new cupcakes? I don’t see why not. They are more fun, better tasting and more creative than cupcakes. I definitely see a clear winner here. Ding, ding, ding, you got it, macaroons.

Use METRO program while it’s free
Dear Editor: We appreciate the informative article by Adam Zuvanich, “Use METRO program while it’s free,” in the June 29 edition of The Leader. We had no knowledge of the I-45 North southbound HOV being a free option from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., to travel to downtown Houston. We have four small children and any hassle free driving to downtown is certainly a welcome idea! We are going to use the North Freeway southbound HOV this Saturday and Sunday too. Normally we would head to other areas close to Cypresswood to shop and dine. We think using the HOV not only shaves off some of the commute time, but it also is safer for us, because there are no 18-wheel trucks on the HOV. Thanks again for the heads up! The Hughes Family

Dear Editor: I saw it Saturday morning on Louetta just east of 249. Called sheriff department and they didn’t care. Tried calling restaurant and they are closed. It was being pulled by a 94-98 maroon Chevy Club Cab. I honked at them because they didn’t have brake lights and finally they pulled over and I drove by, that’s why I remembered it. And it was strange such a nice trailer with a junk truck. Brook Ballweg

an opportunity to preserve low to moderate households in a gentrifying area.” Avenue Executive Director Mary Lawler said the city established a process in which developers submitted applications requesting financial support for future projects through the disaster recovery funds. “This support is often in addition to tax credit support,” Lawler said. “In Avenue on 34th’s case, we will be utilizing 4 percent tax credits from the state.” As Lawler told the Oak Forest Homeowners Association this spring, some of the units in Avenue’s development will be offered at market rate, while the majority will be offered at lower rates. “Twenty percent of the units at Avenue on 34th will be market-rate units,” Lawler said. “The award from HCDD and other financing allows Avenue to do this.” Miller said all the selected projects which will provide affordable homes for low- to moderate-income families throughout the city will be funded from a combination of funding sources, such as housing tax credits, private debt and private equity, with the leveraged cost totaling more than $61 million. Notifications for 9 percent housing tax credits – the Winston development received
one – were announced first because of a deadline issued by the state to close in November. The notification for the other credits, such as Avenue’s 4 percent credit and conventional funding, were announced the following week. Any new award recipients will be posted to the HCDD’s website. Allocation amounts may vary at the time of Houston City Council approval and are subject to revision. Lawler said the $7.4 million Avenue is slated to receive from the HCDD is approximately half of the total budget for the development, which is $14.8 million. “Our Avenue on 34th project remains in development at this time,” Lawler said. “Avenue is pleased with this funding award by HCDD and will be working to secure other necessary funding sources in order to move forward with this development. We are excited to help add to the affordable inventory of homes in the community.” Lawler said disaster recovery is a years-long process. “As we continue to recover from Hurricane Harvey, it is important that we continue to allocate and invest disaster recovery funds in housing solutions that are healthier, more affordable and more sustainable for our city’s future,” she said.
Crushers, from P. 1A Astros Youth Academy, which caters to kids from urban areas. The team relies on intangibles, too. “It seems like the (players) that have gravitated toward us, and been successful with us, have something you can’t exactly teach and can’t exactly coach,” Rollans said. “It’s a desire to learn and a desire to play and a desire to win.” Rollans said the organization strives to teach life skills along with baseball skills, which is why the Crushers regularly do charitable work in the community. Krystal Espinoza, Chico’s wife and Fidel’s mother, said the team also teaches its players about accountability, commitment and leadership. “I think it just builds char-
acter for them,” she said. “Our team helps them get ready for the real world.” The motto printed on the Crushers’ practice jerseys is “Hustle Hit Never Quit.” Garcia said the players also learn to believe they can accomplish whatever they want, taking the word “impossible” and morphing it into the phrase, “I’m possible.” Garcia said his goal in baseball is not just to play in the major leagues but to become a hall of famer. If not for the opportunity provided by the Crushers – who according to Rollans charge families only about $250 per year for uniforms and equipment – Garcia might not be playing at all at this point in his life. “I’m grateful,” he said. “This is definitely a blessing.”

In June, the restaurant touted specials online, such as 50 percent off bottles of wine and a “Women’s Appreciation Night” with 15 percent off a meal. “I used to think you’re lucky to come to my restaurant,” Gordon told The Leader last winter. “Now I think I’m lucky that you want to come to my restaurant.”
Fast food on Ella makes for unlikely happy place Zarah Parker Managing Editor
From Ebony Lane to Du Barry Lane to Ella Boulevard. That was the route my brother and I would walk, and occasionally bike, when we were kids on a mission to buy food. Ella is still a row of mostly fast-food joints like it was when I was growing up in Oak Forest back in the 1990s and early 2000s. A few new ones have popped up and replaced the old, and a few new brick buildings have taken over old lots. But that chunk of Ella, from Judiway Street to North Loop 610, has always been part of my life. I realized this when I recently was asked which restaurant from the neigh-
borhood I felt most nostalgic about. My answer was none of the traditional sit-down restaurant, which were only for the best of occasions when I was a kid. My nostalgia was actually for the fastfood restaurants lining Ella. Turns out, there is a place for the fast-food joints of the world. I wouldn’t say for health, of course, but for efficiency, for overly salted food and for kids who could walk a few blocks on a summer day to get lunch. My brother and I frequented Jack in the Box, which at that time was where Dream Wings is. We’d run through the streets with $2 and some change in our pockets. I’d always buy the chicken sandwich, plain, and sometimes I’d get the two-for-$0.99 tacos. Once, I forgot to scrounge up change and my brother had to buy my chicken sand-
wich. For no less than 10 years did he hold that dollar he spent on me over my head. To this day, the only Shipley Do-Nuts I will go out of my way to get donuts from is the one that sits on Ella – which is technically “Shipley’s” according to its sign. I was raised going to the church behind it, so every Sunday we’d grab a donut between services. I’ve been going there so long that I could tell you who has worked there since I was born. And I could tell you how to spot a new worker. The standard at this particular Shipley’s is a dozen donut holes means a full bag, a halfdozen means a half bag. Newbies don’t know this unspoken rule right away. After my brother got his driver’s license we’d go to Shipley’s on late nights and get “Day Old Donuts,” which was a big bag filled with donuts
leftover from the day. It only cost $1. The last time I tried to get it, none of the workers knew what I was talking about, so I assume they no longer offer it. Shipley’s in particular has followed me across state lines. When fishing for salmon in the Alaskan wilderness our river guide mentioned he was from Houston. I don’t stretch the truth when I say that the first thing he said he missed about our city was the Shipley’s on Ella. Less often, my brother and I would make the longer trek to McDonald’s. This was before the kids’ playground was updated and sheltered. We’d order a large fry and hang out in the hot tunnels of the playground. These are the memories I have in relation to my childhood and food. Simple, cheap and good enough for my uncultured taste buds.

Art Valet: Jury’s no longer out on Archway Gallery winners Mitch Cohen Art Columnist
On the evening of July 6, Archway Gallery hosted its very successful 11th Annual Archway Gallery Juried Art Show, benefiting New Hope Housing. Juror Peggy Cerling selected 51 pieces out of 351 from a total of 189 artists who submitted for display. Winners and honorable mentions were announced at the reception and will remain on display until Aug. 1. Cerling, a master printer, has worked with many artists over the past 25 years and said of the show, “The art should talk to each other visually from the walls.� That was her main goal in the pieces she selected. Cerling said there was an “embarrassment of riches� from which to choose. Of the 51 pieces selected, Cerling chose a collection of both 2D and 3D works. “We had a record number of pieces submitted and a record number in attendance,� said Heights resident Joel Anderson, the director of Archway Gallery. “We love this

show as it unites Houston’s creative community and benefits a very worthwhile area charity. Congratulations to all of the artists whose work was selected.� First place was awarded to Brenda Schloesser for her fiber piece entitled “Corner.� She received a $500 cash award with guest-artist privileges for one month at Archway Gallery. Cerling said of this piece that it “was like an anchor pulling in all of the pieces around it.� Second place was awarded to Joe Haden for his 3D work “Paradox of Containment.� Third place was awarded to Wendy Moreland for her painting entitled “The Cottage.� Receiving honorable men-
tion were Joan Laughlin for “How the Light Gets In,� Eve Leonard for “Midsummer Daydream� and Liz Hill for “Respite.� Archway Gallery began its juried exhibition series in 2009 to broaden opportunities for artists and to support local nonprofit organizations, donating half the proceeds from the sales of the juried artwork to a community partner. This year the gallery is partnering with New Hope Housing, an organization which provides life-stabilizing affordable and permanent housing for Houstonians living on very limited resources. Archway Gallery also is hosting a book drive in support of New Hope Housing’s on-site libraries for its
residents. Donations can be dropped off at the gallery from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. MondaySaturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. Add one more event to the plethora of activities at Sawyer Yards this Saturday evening. Art League Houston (ALH) will unveil the Sawyer Yards Mural Project by artists in the 2019 Summer High School Studio Art Intensive. The reception starts at 5:30 p.m. at Winter Street Studios, 2101 Winter St. The high school program began June 2 with 14 participants ages 14-17. Students spent the first three weeks of June meeting with professional artists for talks and intensive studio art workshops, visiting art spaces around the city and discussing ideas for their culminating exhibition in August. Thanks to a collaboration with Sawyer Yards, students were able to embark on a mural project under Director of Community Engagement Eepi Chaad and Houston muralist Armando Castellan, who guided the young artists through an extensive research phase that investigated the historic neighborhoods that makeup today’s Houston Arts District. Each young artist executed his or her individual contributions to the mural, which was completed the last week of June.
REVIEW:
La Lucha blends service with splendid food By Zarah Parker zarah@theleadernews.com
Great food can set a restaurant apart from its competition only so much in an industry in which great food isn’t hard to come by. When a restaurant has great food and service, creating an all-around satisfying experience, that’s when a restaurant becomes a favorite. La Lucha became that for me. The food was delicious, but the service is what made a pricier tab worth it. The restaurant reminds me of a home dining room with framed photos lining the wall, Persian carpets and lounge areas that were complete with leather couches, small coffee tables and throw pillows. I’d call it comfortable upper class. Noticeably nicer than your average restaurant, but warm and inviting. I visited La Lucha with a small group without making a reservation, so no table was available. The hostess offered for us to sit in one of its two lounge areas to eat or to sit at the bar. The wait for a regular table was estimated at an hour. We sat in the lounge area a little bummed about the wait time. Our server came over and asked if we were eating at the lounge area or just waiting. When we told him we weren’t sure yet, he offered to see if they could seat us sooner than originally thought. He came back and let us know that they could sit us in half the time. So we decided to eat an appetizer while we continued to wait. The menu at La Lucha is small. In the middle section of its trifold printout is the entire menu. After reading the menu a few times we realized there were no appetizers. The server then explained that the menu is a la carte and any dish could be an appetizer. He also explained that most people order family style, which means they order a few dishes and share. For our “appetizer� we or-

dered two sides, baked yeast rolls and fries. An order of rolls only came with four, but they were worth the $5 they cost. Warm and clustered together, the rolls were sprinkled with salt. Butter was plopped in the middle of the cluster with chives on top. The butter, which had a hint of honey in it, melted against the warmth of the rolls. What made these rolls stand out was the onion flavor from the chives. The rolls were fluffy except for the top crust, which was crunchier. The fries also came with chives sprinkled on top. The light crispiness of the fries made them easy to eat and, again, the chives gave them the extra flavor I didn’t expect but enjoyed. The half-hour flew by with our server quickly getting us anything we needed and giving us periodic updates about our table. Our move to the table gave us a new server but throughout our time there, we were still helped by our first one. We ended up asking who was our actual server was because we couldn’t tell. Our first server told us he wasn’t technically our server any longer, but they all worked as a team and helped each other constantly. I appreciated that perspective and commitment from
the servers. Even when they helped my group choose which entrees to get, both servers were happy to talk about each dish, which made us excited for our meal. We ordered the redfish on the halfshell and the fried chicken to share. We also got another order of rolls, because again, they were worth it. The redfish with the halfshell on the bottom, which our server told us helps contain the moisture, came with red posole, radish, cabbage and lime. There are three ways you can eat the redfish dish: by eating the fish and radish and cabbage separately, by pulling the fish apart and mixing it with the side veggies to make a salad or by making fish tacos with the corn tortillas that come on the side. The red posole that was poured over the fish collected at the bottom of the plate. My fork slid easily through the fish and it peeled right off its shell. From the first bite, the redfish melted in my mouth. The posole had a spicy kick that had me reaching for my glass of water a few times. I also made a fish taco and enjoyed the tender fish just as much inside the tortilla. The half-order of the fried chicken came with four pieces of chicken, biscuits and pickle spears. Aside from La Lucha’s “Gulf Gems,� it’s known for its fried chicken, which is why I knew I had to try it. Thin, crunchy breading covered two thighs, a breast and a leg. The breading wasn’t too greasy, but slid away from the meat after biting into it. The chicken was juicy. The group I was with literally said, “This is the best fried chicken I’ve ever had.� Throughout the meal, the servers were quick, accommodating and genuinely nice. I look forward to my next visit. I’ll have to remember to make a reservation.
Food briefs: The Halal Guys to open on Ella By Zarah Parker zarah@theleadernews.com
The lot at 3008 Ella Blvd. is to be transformed this fall from a pawn shop into the newest location of The Halal Guys. Franchisee Masroor Fatany had been looking for a place in the area for almost a year before stumbling upon the pawn shop that was up for sale, reported CultureMap. The convenience of the location is also what drew Fatany to the lot, with easy freeway access and plenty of parking. The Halal Guys are known for their chicken and beef gyro that is served with rice or served in a sandwich.
One less gelato shop in Heights The Italian ice cream shop Gelazzi has closed its doors. Owner Louie Comella told CultureMap the closure was due to his career in the TV and movie business becoming more prominent in his life, and he could no longer balance Gelazzi and set life. Though the gelato is gone, it’s not gone for good. Comella plans to try to sell online and maybe have a retail location at one of the bars or restaurants that occupy a property he owns in the Heights. Another reason Comella has chosen to close Gelazzi instead of allow another operator to take over is his protectiveness
