We could plant some trees and pave and have some portable basket ball goals etc. And maybe we can even put in a stage/ screen for live events. It could be called "the Grove".
Na jk, we couldn't so that.

They are actually planning on a new Grove out at the Gardens on west Campus:

Quote:

Grove Amphitheater

The Gardens at Texas A&M University will recreate The Grove, the original outdoor venue of Aggieland. Plans for the new Grove include a lawn amphitheater, concessions area, restrooms, performance stage and a movie screen.

You can't build "a new Grove." The Grove was it. Anything new will be...well, something else.

Thanks - I couldn't figure that out looking at the photos on my phone.

On a separate note - I heard (not sure where) they are going to do a rebuild or something to that Chick-Fil-A in that parking lot - maybe that goes with it?
It looks like the Chick-fil-a is going to bigger than it is now, and they are going to have outside seating. They could use a lot more seating. It is impossible at times to find a place to sit at noon and on Saturdays.

The new Republic opens the 26th. They had an invitation only party last night and sadly I missed the cut to be invited. Uurrgghh.

Noticed some chain link fence up and trees cleared on Old Arrington behind the Blue Baker and Kiddie Academy in Caprock Crossing. Anyone know what the plan is there?
I think that is slated for multi family, so apartments..


Really? I know the area just south of the Mosque church will be apartments but the other side of the street will be as well?

I can't swear to it.
I just seem to remember that section was planned for multi family in the original plans a few years ago.
May be more upscale like condos, or they could have changed direction completely.

You are correct. Both complexes are for apartments.

Well that sucks. Wish we could get more retail. Adding apartments is just going to cause for more college kids in the area.

We don't need more apartments, restaurants, retail or hotels. We need more industry with more jobs to pay for everything we already have.

We need all of the above, actually. Or more accurately, BCS would simply be better with all of the above.

Polly's Cocina inside the gas station at RP & Wellborn seems vacated.

Not too surprised, since quality had been bad for years and the other two (or three?) locations had long since closed.

Also, FX video game store in the Kohl's shopping center is closing 12/31.

Seriously? Man I love going there. I had some games to sell back to :-(

My dad texted me something along the lines of "you got a call from a store called "FX" saying that you've got $19 in store credit and the store is closing 12/31, with their only other store in Waco".

They had no signs of anything up over the past week! We are there twice in the past weeks and a half (before that it had been quite a while). I wonder what happened. (Edit - referring to Polly's)

So I just called and Polly's is still open. I sounded like an idiot cause I wasn't expecting them to answer.

I was pretty sure that I'd seen people in Polly's the past few days. So wondered what that post was about

Don't scare me like that. Polly's is the best Mexican in town (yes I know, shots fired)!

Polly's has been packed the last several times we have been. Seriously doubt they closed.

It would take months to take down all the photos at Polly's!

I was at the drive-in tonight. Got my usual crispy beef tacos.

Nobilitea closed down sometime last week or so.

I just went to their Facebook and under one of their photos they mention they will be moving but no update to where or when, just to follow their corporate page.

Where? I'm on their FB and can't find anything. My wife is very disappointed. It was her favorite study spot.
