Hotels in Opelika (Auburn's sister city) do the same thing. This is nothing new.

jimmy john's is supposed to be opening another location...either in tower point or kroger center on longmire
South CS is getting another fine dining establishment?
Jimmy Johns is ferociously popular with the students...keeping their franchises close to campus seems wise, so my guess would be Longmire rather than Tower Point.
I heard that a LA fitness was going in the shoping center where the appraisal district is. May be a rumor.
Arsenal Tattoo has moved to its new downtown Bryan location.
One of my family members pointed out that the Dirty Sock has a new sign. I didn't get a good look as we zoomed by but I don't know if there was a name change. Probably not.
Country Cafe in Wellborn sign says open today.
The new Silk Stocking sign has "Silk Stocking" in small letters and "GENTLEMEN'S CLUB" in HUGE letters. You know....so there's no confusion as to what kind of place that is.

Does the Hilton think that College Station is more prestigious or something?
Outside of the people that live here, Bryan is almost never talked about. We use "BCS" or "Byran/College Station" area.
In the rest of the state, and the rest of the country, unless someone has lived here, everyone just says "College Station" or "College Station Area." Hilton is simply calling it what people from outside of the area will be searching by, and really don't give a hoot what the locals will call it because locals generally aren't making hotel reservations anyway.
When I used to work at the mall I've had people refer to it as being in Bryan. Usually they were from Madisonville.
I saw Willie's Ice House trucks in the parking lot of the old TGI Fridays and it looks like it's being worked on. That restaurant would make a lot of sense there.

I heard the old Office Max location on Harvey.
Arsenal Tattoo did a really good job on the building. It looks better than it ever has. A really good fit to booming Downtown.
I still can't believe they got away with being an "art gallery" to score a spot in DT Bryan.
Graphic novels are considered "literature" these days...doesn't surprise me.
LTJ'S furniture store opened a small shop in the small shopping center on Koppe Bridge Rd. in wellborn. The main store on Hwy 21 is still open also.

Willie's?
Love that place! Great news.

There are some that are quite good, not just the content but the artwork at well.
Driving home tonight showed that Daisy Dukes is now just "Duke's". Probably nothing else changed besides that though.
Restaurant Report Card on KBTX last night showed that Happy Yogurt had a 100. Which is weird, since I've heard reports that that place closed for good.

If you'd like, I can loan you one that I received from a friend of mine. It's much closer to literature than anything I've read since high school or college english class.
El Gallito de Jalisco (Mexican restaurant, in case it wasn't obvious) is open the in old Rice Garden spot on 29th near Carter Creek. They expanded into the old Texas Fraternal Order of Police suite next door so there's now a good amount of seating.
I went yesterday and it was good enough to consider a future visit. Food reminded me of TaquerÃa Arandas or Raspas El Payasito, which I guess makes sense, being Jalisco-style. Have yet to try the breakfast tacos, but that's on my list. They serve breakfast all day, but the price goes up a little after 11.

Jimmy Johns sign is up between Double Dave's and Specs in the Kroger center at Longmire and Rock Prairie
Pizza Hut Wing Street is going into Bryan Towne Center next to Target in Bryan.
Jimmy Johns and Pizza Hut...should raise the culinary bar in BCS for sure.

Does anyone have any idea about what the big announcement the Mayor of Bryan is supposed to announce soon about new retail coming to town?
I haven't heard anything about that. Guess he didn't make that he announcement?
I heard that Academy, TJ Maxx, and PetSmart have been talking with Bryan. Also several restaurant chains for West Side Bryan. And several Hotel chains for the Target area.

IIRC, those were theoretical retailers, they weren't actually interested in coming.
As for Jimmy John's, is it the old Gibson Insurance, or the old Blue Kangaroo?
Actually they have been working on getting those retailers. Do you ever read the Council agendas? They have been going into closed sessions to talk about it. Some people are really negative about everything, aren't they?

There has been a slab poured for what seems to be a retail shopping center in the front of the new Walmart at Villa Maria and 2818. I think its for retail, its close to that gas station center with Popeye's and Subway.
Are we out of the running for Dunkin Donuts? I haven't seen or heard anything for quite awhile.
Dunkin is getting their feet under them in the major markets before they expand into secondary markets.
Garden Apartments planned for College Main in Bryan.
