Places like Bryan and Navasota (even more so) would be dead end backwaters in the day of the highway. The only big roads through were built because people desired to get to College Station, and very little on highway 6 in the brazos valley is on the way to anywhere that anybody would want to go or do business, except Texas A&M.

I would guess that the ceiling of development in the entire area would be something like Lufkin, but even Lufkin is on major US highways.

It's a good thing he didn't park on the wrong side of the street. He would be facing some serious time.

My prediction is that these charges will be dismissed, not plea bargained, dismissed.

Assuming RSJ's side of the story is true, I am inclined to agree.

Actually, he's right. It probably would. Bryan was around long before A&M and has a much more diverse economy than CS.

Just facts man.

My understanding from a local historian is that Booneville was poised to be the large community of the area until a college was put in a cow pasture. I don't know much about Bryan, but 90% of people in the Brazos valley would be unemployed without these college students.


Actually, it's more like 40%.

Normangee existed before college station too.

I have no idea if that's true but my point stands

Does that only count university employees, or does it also count the employees of the 2nd and 3rd mcdonalds because of the additional demand from the college?

College students won't and shouldn't determine how police will function. Youre students, nothing more.

Plenty of people would relish the opportunity to come to a&m if any idiots don't like cspd

He said Brazos Valley. That's a lot of area.

And no, the numbers say that a lot of the economy in the BV is due to several factors, one of which is agriculture (the river was here long before TAMU) and oil. That was here before the Ags too.

It's tough to speculate on these things. But those two things stand and you could argue that Bryan might not be the same as it is now, but at the same time, it's location between the big cities and it's location to the river tell you that it would probably be a decent sized place either way.

I am not saying that TAMU isn't the driving force behind what the area is today. Not at all.

All I am saying is that long before there were 50,000 college students here, Bryan had a good economy. And the reasons for that are probably valid reasons for saying it would have endured.

No **** Bryan wouldn't be the same. There are tons of small Texas towns on the river between the cities. To argue that Bryan doesn't owe 90% of it's historical and economical progress to the largest college in the state being miles away is asinine.

90% is asinine. Just stop trying to talk about something you don't understand all the facts about.

This. Soooooo much of the business here is because of the demand of college students. What exactly would be the big industry in B/CS if the university wasn't here? News flash: agriculture towns don't get that big. It isn't on the way to anywhere, unless its from Houston to Waco. Not a heavily traveled route. This place would 25-30k max

Go live somewhere else if you don't want to live around college kids. Trash CS? Ever heard of Big Event?

So one day Of community service means students who have no ties to the community other than attending class and will leave after a few years are entitled to having no consequences for their actions.
