You are likely correct. In my early 50s, almost mid-50s in a few months, I don't recall things like I used to. I fondly remember the game store and Waldenbooks. My granny used to like to eat at the cafeteria there.

I knew it was there in fall '93 and the mall was still newish

Mall opened in 1982. My older sibling worked there.

I was like 9 when it opened, and lived in the neighborhood behind Plantation Oaks. It had a McDonald's and a Chick-Fil-A. I think it had a pizza place - Sbarro, and that became Roman Delight later.


Compared to the malls I was used to, that's newish

Me too! I don't like hot dogs but I liked their fried cheese on a stick thing.

My first job was Corn Dog 7. A good fresh battered and fried corn dog is wonderful.

And the fresh squeezed lemonade was excellent. I was sad when they went away from that.

I got you beat by a few years. 57 here. But I moved here in 1989, so I wasn't as young as you were then. It was Giovanni's in 1989, for sure. But it *could* have been something else prior.

Site plans have been submitted for a development at the corner of 2818 and Luther St. The plans include a boutique hotel, a gas station, a standalone 5,000 square foot restaurant building, and a Tim Hortons.

Site plans also submitted for a small development at the corner of Greens Prairie and Royder Road. Plans call for a gas station/convenience store, along with a small drive through restaurant and 1,250 square feet of retail.

Wasn't there a rumor awhile back that a TXB would be going in there?

More than a rumor. It was officially announced. Is TXB no longer going to happen?

Two malls in Dallas about to be torn down and become new sports arena developments.

Valley View will be the new home of the Dallas mavericks

Willow bend in Plano will be the new home of the Dallas Stars

DFW just can't stop building sports facilities…why have separate facilities for hockey and basketball?

Is Reunion Arena still there as well?
What are they doing with old rangers stadium? It's not that old.
I hope I did not offend anybody with this post. If I did, please come see me at my address in my profile so we can talk.

The site plans do not indicate that it is TXB or any other brand for that matter. It is just referred to as the Royder Ranch Convenience Store.

I haven't seen a TXB that is part of a larger building with additional retail and a drive through restaurant, however. Not saying it can't be a TXB, but I believe TXBs are usually standalone buildings.

Reunion Arena is long gone. The Ballpark is now Choctaw Stadium. Average lifespan of a sports stadium is now expected to be appx. 25 years

Mr. G's has confirmed it's taking over the closed Uptown Brunch location, opening sometime this summer. Apparently will be serving breakfast per the post on Facebook.
Why yes, yes I really do run the best (and only) BCS ICEE Guide!

Pizza for breakfast! Should do well with the after bar crowd.

The only thing open after bars close on that end of town is Whataburger and maybe IHOP

They misspelled 'Italian'

So it's not a pizzeria but more of just a general "Itatlian" place? I'm interested. I still think their proximity to Rx is funny.

They are right across the street from one another in downtown Bryan and they both do fine.

I'm well aware. Which is why I find it funny that their other location all the way across town is also right next to Rx.
