Folks always say we won't get a Buc-ee's because of the lack of interstate. Bastrop location does just fine.

And an interstate is in the works along Hwy 21 from Madisonville. Granted, it might be decades before it gets built.

Neither is 290. The Bastrop location gets what it gets due to the confluence of three state highways, I believe collectively the traffic count is higher than Highway 6, at least in the parts south of town.

Thread tax: the gas station at College Avenue and Villa Maria opened this week.

15 locations in South Texas an has College Station listed as coming soon.

Stopped by the Schulenburg location on the way home from the deer lease and it's like a very tiny
very recognizable retail gas station with nice bathrooms that we would normally see on an interstate highway.

And chronically understaffed at checkout. So much so, that we've gone back to the questionably sanitary Pilot truck stop on the highway

Yeah. Comparing Bastrop to BCS is not a good plan. BCS is between…Hempstead and Waco? Madisonville and Caldwell?

Bastrop is getting a Starlink / SpaceX / Boring Co factory.

We're getting an Amazon warehouse.

Yay. Or something.

Well we tried to get a data center and y'all shot that down.

Anyone know the estimated date of Sprouts opening? Made a Twin Liquors run just before Thanksgiving and it looked like the work was coming along fast.

Man I just came here to ask that same question.

Also, anyone heard anything about the 30/Hardy Weedon intersection work? I thought it had started, but all they did were the turn lanes for the new development.

Used Lapels Laundromat this morning. It's bright and clean. Multiple sizes of machines. Super helpful and friendly staff.

It was a great way to get all the bedding washed before moving.

I need to go and wash a bunch of quilts all at once.

Man I miss Washbangers.

Same. I figured I would give this place a try but I really wanted some Queso del Jefe while waiting.

If that's the case, it's the Midwestification of B/CS in full effect: White Castle AND Portillo's.

Supposedly expanding into Texas, starting with the metroplex this summer. No word on specific other places that I see yet.

Good word of mouth if true.

SIAP, Harvest Coffee's downtown location is moving up the street to the Kimball Event Center.

There's also a new coffee shop (can't remember the name) going in the space formerly occupied by Ronin

There are too many restaurants without a clear identity. They have to provide a reason you want to go yo their location and your friends or family agree.

Not sure how I feel about this; I like dragging my laptop to Harvest to work. But maybe this is an upgrade? And I wonder what's going in that space (which I like a lot).

New "for lease" sign up where Sprouts was coming and work appears to have stopped.

Looked like some concrete forms up at Smitty K site around the cleaned off slab. Didn't see any other indications around it.
