Bowling and arcade games are the only things families and college kids can do?

How many communities this size have as much live sports, a Presidential library and I'm sure many more options.

Because kids run to their parents and say, "Lets go to the Presidential Library tonight!" Outside of bars for college kids and 1 entertainment spot (Grand Station), there is nothing to do here. Like I said, if someone eventually comes in with a place like GS they will be making bank.

All we have is GS, movie theatre, and bars. Oh and a few escape room or laser tag places. That's about it though.

What is a cost estimate on getting involved with Disc Golf? I am an avid golfer and have always been curious about disc golf, but was always overwhelmed by the different "discs" involved with the game.

I merely pointed out some advantages this community has over most others it's size.

Since you've completed the feasibility study on a Grand Station like establishment maybe your next step should be a bank or investors to get your cash cow up and running.

$20 gets you a putter and a mid range from Academy, and that's all you really need. You don't even really NEED a putter, I play with just my mid range all the time. I'm also an avid golfer but picked up disc golf about a year ago and have had a blast. Highly recommend it. The disc golf course at Southern Oaks park over near Barron road is great. Definitely give it a shot.

I would invest. Please send me your Business Plan.

Assuming you'd have 24 lanes or so in the bowling section that's between $3 and $4 million. Assuming frontage access and other amenities wouldn't you be looking at $10 million or so total investment? With a similar, successful business of this sort already here a bank probably won't touch it.

You might try the business and investment board here on Texags. There's some venture capital raised there from time to time.

I have never understood the appeal of an escape room. Correct me if I'm wrong. Someone imprisons you and then forces you to complete a task of their choosing before letting you out? Doesn't sound like much fun.

Of course I understand they would have to let you out if you demanded such, but then what value have you received for money spent?

There is a full size go-kart track south of town that is open just about every weekend. Plenty of fun to be had, but I guess we could use a cookie-cutter subdivision instead.

Sooo, as far as the comings and goings...
Noticed on a sign that a Prodigy Learning center is going in east of Wellborn on Graham in CS. Think it said end of this year, maybe?

New Dominos Pizza - I believe it includes administrative offices. I have also heard that they will close the location that is closer to Wings and More.

It's supposed to be their new concept 'pizza theater' with a dining room and an open kitchen so you can watch them make your pie.

I have gone to the various escape rooms 3 times here in CS. they are are fun if want to use your brain and intellect trying to solve a problem, instead of just going to watch a movie.

I went last night. It met my (pretty low) expectations. It's cafeteria-style, which was a popular format for Thai food when I lived in Nashville 10-15 years ago. Upshot being, you can try two dishes at one outing, and it's pretty cheap. Think Panda Express for Thai food.

Anyone have any idea what's being build at the corner of Rock Prairie and Medical Avenue? It's just to the east of the Scott & White hospital. Just curious because it looks like it could be apartment buildings.

It's a nursing home. Another one is also going in by Christ United Methodist church.

Good to hear. With the projected influx of olds pouring into the area, we're going to need many more of those.

You're missing out. They are a blast. It is fun to problem solve with time constraints.

What is being built on Birmingham? (CS, street between Graham and Rock Prairie, south of The Med, etc.) Did I miss the info?

Edit to add--I like that there is infill going on with various lots in the city. Much better than sprawl.
