I think they're trying a new-ish thing every second(?) Sunday out on that green that brings local vendors and things like that. But I agree, they could stand to get the word out a little better.

My wife and I love going on a "date night" to Uncorked and taking my 3yr old along to play in the green area in the back. The staff is always super nice/accommodating with us!
I also know that the spread between costs to go to a restaurant vs making the food at home is the highest it's been in YEARS and the value proposition is not there anymore...
I grew up working in restaurants and always tip 20% minimum cause I know the job can be thankless, but I have to admit that I have been tipping 10% a lot more lately because the service has just not been good.
We definitely stay to our regular spots, usually blue baker, RX, Costa Vida a lot but have pulled back cause I find it tough to rationalize spending $40+ for a basic meal for 2.5 people.... We'd rather go blow $100 at La Petit Conchon every couple of weeks.
Also - prices for margaritas is really saddening lately. I love mexican food but have pulled us back from going because it's tough to get on board with the prices and I just can't make them as good at home

Yes. It's on their FB page
Keep hearing businesses need to get the word out "more" or "better."
With the amount of information being thrown in your face every second these days that's a very tough thing to do. And if you do someone run across their ad or post it's likely you won't remember it in 2 days.
Location location location is more important now than ever.

Location
Lot Size
Layout
You must hit 2/3 of those at minimum, home run if you can hit 3/3.
But there's also other factors…. Are you on the side of the road going to work or home from work? Ingresses and egresses? What are traffic patterns like? Got lots to think about.
And now, medians.

10,000%. This has hurt businesses a lot more than can meet the eye.
We need to pour one out for them in solace.
H-Tea-O opened today.
Smitty Ks has lots of space for kids to play outside. Good food and full bar.
Kinder Hill next to the Kyle House
We've been and do appreciate it's family friendly 
Hoping the new location is even better! We like Polite Coffee and Blackwater as well. In fact most of the places we love are all in Bryan, just hope in 2024 we can see some more places down the road in south college station! Definitely willing to give uncorked and Marfa another try. Been to those several times just never thought of them as places we wanted to bring kids.

Anyone seen confirmation that Harry's will be torn down?
Good news, HH fans!

I spoke to the owner of Hurricane Harry’s this week and he said despite past plans to develop the area of S College Ave and University Drive, “Harry’s is not going anywhere anytime soon.” pic.twitter.com/mg8v9gopg1
Thank you
Excited to share the news that a Brenham National Bank branch is coming to Caprock Crossing, behind Walgreen's. Much needed!!!

Next to vaguely Feng-shui sounding nail salon name and super original chicken tenders….
What's The Buzz Coffee moved their roastery. New location is 2511 S Texas Ave in Bryan. That's in addition to their newish cafe/bakery location at 2307 Texas Ave in CS (where Kolache Rolf's used to be).
Evie+Oak Children's Boutique is now open in Towerpoint.
This area definitely needs an upscale children's store with grandparent bait

Place was picked over after opening weekend according to my wife. She went with the little one and was shocked at how little was remaining on the shelves.MiMi said:

Are they actually open? Every time I've driven by in the morning they definitely haven't been. I'd be curious to know what the houre are, there is nothing posted online. Not sure what kind of tea/coffee place isn't open at 9 in the morning.

The new Drew's on 21 is open.
7Brew opens January 15 at Villa Maria and Texas (across VM from Starbucks). I believe they have plans to open additional locations in BCS. If I remember correctly they submitted site plans for a location on Fitch close to Zaxbys.
