Back-nine golf, which will have 24/7 golf bays available, is coming to that new center near Texas and 2818 (called the Creek Place).

It joins Haraz Coffee House, Lapel's Dry Cleaners, Aggieland Orthodontics, Nail Soul, and Dougherty Dental Group,

We can only hope for the following combo of BCS flavors:
Vape shop + nail salon + chicken fingers + Dollar Store + taqueria + dry cleaners

I'd go to the taqueria

Not coming, at least for now, the proposed trolley between Downtown Bryan, Midtown Bryan, Northgate, TAMU, and Century Square. Interesting interview with the mayor of Bryan on WTAW yesterday where he said it was because of Bryan Woods. Woods previously signed a letter in support and now says he will not do anything that helps the City of Bryan (that is the Bryan Mayor's spin on it at least). Interview starts around 4:15 - https://wtaw.com/bryan-mayor-bobby-gutierrez-on-wtaw-52/




Listening to the rest of the interview…

They presented a plan for an awesome park for 2.7m and I told them we budgeted 5m so go back and make it more. Really?

Data centers:
Water usage "we aren't doing bitcoin". As if that matters.
Noise: "It will be electric, so no noise". "It won't have gas turbines like the one CoCS was considering." What happens when the power goes out? What are they using for backup power?

What's the building on Harvey Mitchell by 6? I think it's first financial bank next to it?

Construction on The Range has started. It is expected to finish in February. The Range will have a driving range, eight pickleball courts, and a courtyard with 12 cornhole stations.

The Cancer Center is building in that area.
Somebody has to lose. Might as well be t.u.

Damn, that sucks. I liked a lot of their sandwiches. Nick the Greek and now them in that same center.

I'm not shocked at all. That center is a pain in the ass to access.

Yep.

Location, location, location

It's as important as anything else with a restaurant.

Capriottos's on University closing. Wonder if it and Nick the Greek closing are connected in some way?

Not really. Question re it and Nick's closing being related still stands.

It's a shame the Fox and Hound isn't there anymore. We used to go there weekly.

Raising prices is not the only way. Product mix, reducing other expenses, etc can increase profits without raising prices.

You must be one of the successful owners. Most restaurants I've have doubled and tripled their prices, can't keep good help (maybe due to pay, maybe workers just don't care to show up, other?).
Congrats!

And it's easier to accept the annoyance of getting there if you are going to be a few hours. It's not worth it just to get lunch

Why are there 2 Fuegos? What's in the Pizza Hut Fuegos? I've never been in there. I figured it was VIP or something.

I think it's just storage. And parking.

Not sure about that. Yeah Fox & Hound is gone but it was there a hella long time and was always busy (I spent a fair amount of time there myself).

You're probably right.

That's why two restaurants in that plaza are both closing.

Totally the same.

Like I said, it's definitely worth the fuss if you are going to be there longer. I never went to Fox & Hound to just have a meal and leave. Better options over there for a quick lunch.

I'm pretty sure those offices next to that building are more empty these days as well.

$2 Pint night at Fox and Hound on Thursdays were incredible out on the patio.

I know that my professional insurance agent was in those offices years ago but has moved. Agreed, I loved the MNF bingo, but didn't go for a quick meal.

Yep. Fun place, lasted longer there than most. Had some great times and pool games there.

Is the work going on between Southwest and 2818 (heading toward 2818) a start to the widening of 6 or something else? (apologies if this was a previous discussion.)
