Stopping Downtown from dying: Restaurant vets see hope for future rebirth in the past
The historic heart of Houston — the northern reaches of Downtown — have seen its fair share of rebirth and neglect in the last half century. As area restaurants seem to be dropping like dominoes in recent months, Treebeards co-founder Dan Tidwell and former Solero owner Arturo Boada offered CultureMap a look at the neighborhood’s storied past for a little perspective on the ever-evolving Market Square area.
Tidwell founded Treebeards with partner Jamie Mize in 1978 in a small space on Preston Street nestled between a strip club and rowdy bar. Quickly outgrowing the 30-seat location, the owners moved the business to its current site along Market Square in Houston’s second oldest building.
“I’ve lived and worked in this part of town for three decades,” Tidwell said. “I love it here and I’m committed to it.”
