***** BREAKING ******
HAVERTY'S FURNITURE is moving into Hastings old College Station location. Ugh. A furniture store. Just saw the blueprints in the window.
Why on earth would you thumb that down? We desperately NEED a few more furniture stores that offer something besides cheap college student furniture.

I agree! I was thinking that the only thing breaking from this happening will be my bank account....

Unlike Ashley, Haverty's sells quality furniture. Ashley is cheap for a reason, not well made from experience.

I am in the used furniture business here in town. anytime we get a piece of Haverty's furniture in the store, it sells very quickly. good, quality furniture.

It's a support center, as I understand it.


What's with all the thumbs up? It's a call center that just adds a bunch of low-paying, mostly part-time jobs to the area, and one that just replaces another dead call center at that.

Bienski's comment about needing them after layoffs from O&G is laughable, and overall, this probably does as much for the local economy as Bush's Chicken did for the local restaurant scene.

PS3D, I was taught not to be disrespectful of other people's jobs whatever they might be. Not everyone is able to find the super high paying job that you probably have.

Why wouldn't you give a new employer a thumbs up? Would you prefer those potential employees remain unemployed?

What makes you think I have a high paying job? Better yet, if I did, why would I care?

redd38 gets it. Apparently other people don't. Why make a trolling comment when you don't even know what they are going to pay?

Not everyone goes to college. They pay 12-15 per hour plus benefits and has opportunity for team leads, supervisors etc in addition to all the management and admin jobs. It provides a good opportunity for a bunch of people. Fills a nice niche in the workforce. Nothing to scoff at. The alternative is mostly retail or manual labor.

Well, now that y'all have thrown up all over the Coming and Going thread, staff will have to clean it up. Thanks, PlayStation 3 for the sanctimonious derail.

Dairy Queen on North Texas in Bryan is getting torn down and a new one built where the piano place was!

There's a Freddy's at Boonville and 6!
Mooyah is just as good (and just as expensive) for CS folks not wanting to drive 10 minutes north on the bypass.

The New Development lists a "Stirling High Rise" at 711 University Drive, the site of the current BB&T bank. Neat!

The old La Bodega building has been demolished. It was in bad shape but...lots of memories there.

Master Yakiniku has opened in Bryan. Give them a week to work out the kinks - lots of mistakes being made as they figure out how much staff they need.

More details on the 711 University tower have come in. It will be a 16 story building, six of which is parking/ground floor retail (there's a bank space, presumably for BB&T, and a larger retail space). 224 units.

The Rise seemed to be built to have a mirror image (or close to it) where the new tower will be. The pool(s) would be on the interior then.

I know I need to update the front page and I will soon.

I guess Northgate Juice Joint is adding a 2nd location. This one will be in Bryan at 2705 Osler Blvd near CHI St. Joseph's Hospital.

Hopefully the 711 University tower won't include Soviet-era architecture..
