But...it was "said on TXAgs"...so it must be true.
Bahahaha, this ties in nicely to this review of a Sprouts grocery store in ANOTHER CITY that Greg D left:

"Loved the layout and customer service. Just don't care for the company as they lied claiming they were going to open a location in College Station and failed to. You don't lie to your customers.

Everyone I talked to that works here agreed that it was wrong for the company to lie and claim they were going to open a location in College Station Texas and then fail to."

They were going to open a location but in the end didn't cancel. King FTR apparently thinks that constitutes as "lying".

China King Buffet at SW Pkwy and Texas may be closed. I say "maybe" because the lettering is removed, but the center is under renovation, but it does not have a banner like the stores on the south side
I just saw a China King commercial at the end of the 10pm KBTX news, and they mentioned a recent remodel. So I'd bet they are still open.

They are still open. I drove by there the other day and the sign was on and parking lot full.

Okay guys, I have updated the front page! Let me know if anything was missed. I did not add new stores, restaurants or businesses without specific names. So if you have mentioned something on here without the name and you want it added, get me the name and I will add it.

So the new Hungry Howie's will be just north of University on Texas Ave? So I'm guessing its on the Bryan side?

Great to hear about Bryan's new 400 acre (around 800 homes) master planned community. To get some perspective, what other master planned communities in this area compare in size to this development?

Can we please just demolish that hideous Bank of America building already? That space is ideal for anything but that.

Hey now I work in that building.

But really, it is an eyesore.

Nashville,

Why don't you put it under contract and get it bought? Then you can do what you want with it

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Eh, it's an eyesore and I hate the building, but there are much more appealing properties/land that I would rather scoop up.

If the UHaul went with it, that would be nice.

Heard the new Hungry Howies will go into the new building that sits where Fajita Ritas used to be next to Yesterdays.

How can you complain about the BOA building when almost everything around it is 10 times worse. There is nothing about the BOA building that makes it an "eyesore".

The Blackwater Draw brewery and tasting room in downtown Bryan is coming along nicely...poked my head in and it looks like they will be open early spring.

Sadly it appears they won't be serving food, as they are trying to get food trucks to show up there like they do at New Republic.

So the Mayor (member at Miramont) approves for Adam to build another community next to Miramont? and the taxpayers reimburse Adam? Same priced homes as Miramont? Miramont is about 25% built out?

How much does Ag land pay per year in taxes compared to the same land with 100+ expensive homes?

Empty lots don't pay the city much, and un-metered water wells (MIramont) should be illegal, Bienski !!

Yep, went for dinner last night. Tacos are pretty good, but I though the Super Taco was a bit overprized at $3.09. More of everything in the tacos compared to Taco Bell. Any size tea for $0.99.

Empty lots pay a lot more than ag land. From what I saw, the development lots look much more like Copperfield size than Miramont. And changing the long standing laws of Texas (actually from pre - state days and English Common Law) of right of capture for water seems a bit much because you don't like Mr Adam. Enjoy the reading about water laws in Texas - or perhaps we could have a really intelligent set of water laws like New Mexico or California......Texas Water Law

The average price of a home in Oakmont:
quote:
"This land has been owned by the company for several years, and we have always thought that Bryan would be well-served with this style of master-planned community," said Donald Adam, Adam Development chairman and CEO in a press release. "With a widened University Drive and Oakmont's proximity to Texas A&M University, homeowners will be able to reach the university in a matter of minutes. Not only will it be beautifully landscaped, but the community will offer homes averaging $375,000."

Homes averaging 375,000? Good luck city of Bryan, paying for another Adam development!
