That is sad to hear. We like going there for the fresh oysters. Does anyone know anywhere else in town to get them?

Where do you take that cooler of ice in Austin and Houston to fill it up?

More specifically... anyone know the closest place to buy fresh gulf shrimp? We used to have a guy who came to our office once a month or so that had fish, shrimp etc. caught on his son's boats. He had different routes that he drove every day and stops in every town.

Also there used to be a place on 290 that started as a white van and moved into a building - "Fresh Shrimp, Low Price". I don't mind driving 45 minutes to an hour to get some good fresh shrimp...

Are you 100% sure about this? I saw the letter dated April 1 on the F&F Facebook page, and there's a hashtag at the bottom that says #HappyAprilFoolsDay.

Possibly the dumbest move ever by a business if that's true.

Tailgate: In Austin I go to Central Market or some place on Airport Blvd...Quality Seafood or Capitol Seafood?

In Houston, that giant Asian market...Hong Kong Something? Sorry bad with names today.

As for shrimp, dunno. I had some at a friend's beach house on Bolivar that were almost life changing, and probably spoiled me for shrimp now.

I sure hope it is a prank. I just discovered them and liked a lot what I bought. I was planning to go this weekend again.

Same problem I've got. We go to Port A every year and I buy them fresh off the PollyAnna. Once you've had fresh boiled shrimp, the stuff you get in the grocery store just doesn't cut it.

In bold letters at the bottom is says #HappyAprilFoolsDay - never ever ever believe anything you read on the internet on April 1!! I put April Fools jokes up there with dad jokes. Sooo sooo bad.

Just had Mighty Slice pizza at The Backyard. It was amazing. Wow, just wow. NY style, huge and delicious crust.

Didn't The Backyard open some years ago?

The business apparently wanted false information out there, why should it be removed from here?

Yes Backyard has been open. But, they rolled out Mighty Slice Pizza inside the place this week and it's amazing.

While grabbing a coffee at Minuti this morning, I was told that the owner of Russo's New York Pizzeria in Houston was inquiring about the space where Toastie's Subs was in Northpoint.

Never heard of it but the online menu looks interesting.

I've eaten at a Russo's in Galveston. It's pretty good. Order at counter and get a number. Full bar as well. Lots of families and non-familes were there and everyone seemed to be happy - our group sure was.

Toasties Subs in Northpoint is closing...not sure they even made it a year. Too bad, as they probably had the best and most interesting sandwich selection in town, and some good tacos to boot.

Looks like Bryan will be getting 2 trampoline parks. One in the Target Center called Jumping world:
http://www.jumpingworldusa.com/
And one in Village Foods old location that will be 30,000 sq-ft. Does that mean ALDI isn't going in to this spot, or will it be divided into two or more spaces?
Urban Air Trampoline Park Secures Bryan, Texas Location

Outside my (many north gate people's walking distance) and how many other "townies" know where to park?

Only know of one person to go to world of beer. He went because they jade native beers. Had a buddy work there. He transferred to a Dallas location because between their price points and the difficulty getting people in it wasn't a good store.

I guess I thought they had a more "captive" market.

I've gone to WoB about monthly and it is usually fairly busy.

I know a lot of people that frequent WoB. They are not hurting.

I have a Russo's across the street from my office. It's fine. Nice selection of pasta in addition to the big New York slices. Fast Casual order at the counter lunch service and waitstaff for a traditional dinner service.
