TDLR permits indicate a tattoo shop is coming to the building.

Is this the former Fox & Hound space?

Basically yes, although Fx & Hound has been gone a long time.

 

More recently the entrance closest to this address (603 Houston) is for Escape Room (605 Houston)

I know.  You weren't right either.

 

Maybe for those born before 1980, perhaps.

Neither of my sons have tats either, fwiw.

I know I should not be too judgmental, because lots of types of people get tattoos, but it is interesting to me to consider that this is the tenant that is the best fit for a location immediately adjacent to one of our new hotels.

 

It's 2021... *shrug*  Pretty much everyone has a tattoo these days, so I doubt that'll matter. 

That being said, I'm surprised it won't be another bar since that strip of downtown seems like the perfect bar district. Well, outside of West 7th, anyway.

I'm out of the loop on what (if anything) is currently in the Kress Building ground floor lease space, but noticed a new alcohol distance check.  Is Big Laugh Comedy moving?  This old streetview sign in the window indicates the for lease restaurant space is 10,119 SQFT.  Looks like Mike Karns still owns it (El Fenix) https://www.corporat...riton-kress-llc

 

Permit Address
604 MAIN ST 

 

Record AD23-00057: 
Alcohol Distance Check
Record Status: Pending

I don't know if you remember, but Hyena's Comedy Club was in the basement a number of years ago.

So if Big Laughs / Hyena's is currently at 425 Commerce St, are they moving from a Sundance property to a non-Sundance property, as it would appear?  Is Hyena's the operating name of Big Laughs, I'm just going off memory and google street views here?

I thought they were separate companies.  If that's the case, then Hyena's is not moving and Big Laughs will be an addition to the Downtown entertainment scene.
