Although many businesses are closing, relocating or being demolished, Hurricane Harry’s will do no such thing.
“We are excited to have Hurricane Harry’s there and expect to have them there for a long time,” said Jack Culpepper, manager of Culpepper Family, LP and president of Stalworth Corp.
The most that’s expected to happen to Hurricane Harry’s is an outside renovation.quote:

Jack's pretty slick.
He failed to mention the fact that he will quadruple Harry's rent at such time the development is together.

BDD, that has consistently been the public message from the center owner.
There have also been several rumors alleging HH management intends to close in the near term.

Nice! But Crazy Cajuns' is gone for good. Can anyone tell me what's going on with A+? I was told they were moving out to University (near Fox & Hound, I think) but the current sign mentions the location next to Hurricane Harry's (which has been there for a while) not the new location. Would be nice if they took over the "Coin & Jewelry Exchange" to merge locations but alas...
What's this "Piranha Fitness Center"? Never seen it before...

That "batt" story is full of fail.
Crazy Cajun's is already closed, Harry's is staying open and NOT part of any existing reconstruction plans, and everything else is pure speculation on the part of uninformed students. That Quinones girl sounds like a downright moron, thinking that a new five story apartment building in one part of town is going to make us "Austin".
For what its worth, Piranha Fitness is at the end of the building I believe. It occupies one of the smaller frontages at the same end as Hurricane Harry's. They even have big tractor tires chained to the building, probably related to some sort of cross-fit training regimine.

Alright, fact check.
- "The development endeavor is called Legacy Point and will require the demolition of several University Square businesses."
INACCURATE, while it will require the demolition of the Fat Burger building, Java Jitters, and Hebert's, all of those have moved out already.
- "As for the remainder of the property known as University Square for the past 40 years, a dramatic transformation is coming soon."
WRONG, started out as Skaggs Shopping Center (commenter is correct).
- "Buckwalter said numerous ideas have been going around, but no one really knows what the plan is."
CORRECT, we have all heard rumors.
- "It feels like we're turning into UT"
SORT OF. The Texas A&M area has been categorized with extremely low rise buildings (with the exception of The Plaza, which always stuck out and is now no more than just a memory). But the Stack isn't very tall relatively speaking, many buildings have been built just as tall or taller (Tradition at Northgate, Northgate Parking Garage, the Warehouse)
- "A+ Tutoring, Fat Burger and Albertsons are parts of the shopping center that will be demolished first for the construction of Phase I. The demolition is scheduled to begin in July."
CORRECT. With the A+ Tutoring/Fat Burger building (as well as Hebert's, and Java Jitters) as empty as Albertsons, they can safely come down.
- "“We’re eventually going to have two more phases to include various components from retail, restaurants, more student housing and possibly a little bit of office space,” Heifrin said."
CORRECT, it came from an official source. How they're going to fit it, I don't know, unless the Stack is much smaller than the former Mud Lot or if North Ramparts are going to be demolished.
- "Traditions Bookstore and BCS Bicycles will be demolished in a later phase of the project scheduled for March 2013 and will relocate beforehand."
CORRECT, if what I've heard elsewhere is true.
- "Schlotzsky’s, Crazy Cajuns’, and IHOP — believed to be the oldest continuing operating restaurant in College Station — will all remain in business and will not close."
WRONG, Crazy Cajuns' closed. But it had nothing to do with the development and would've stayed open if the current owners paid their rent.

A newspaper story got some things wrong? Who'da think?
Nice job on the fact checking.

Eh. It is a student-run newspaper. Maybe Sharp can outsource it to some experienced journalists.

Outsourcing typically involves less, not more experienced people. Therefore, the paper would be run by junior high school students.
I have heard both that Harry's will and will not close, and both from different reputable (but not revealable) sources. I think their management is unsure or in disagreement over what they will actually be doing.
