We went to Porters for our anniversary dinner a couple of nights ago. Thought it was well done and had a lot of service people readily available.
That said we prefer the Republic for our steak and price point will be about the same.
We may give it another try at a later time but if looking for a steakhouse in BCS probably will hit up Republic before Porters at least in the near future

Look Out Below said:
Needs to be a light at Navarro/Wellborn too. Way too many idiots jumping out in front of people at that intersection.


I would love that (sorry Saratoga) but it is not likely. I really wanted the City to plan their RR crossing at Cain/Navarro instead of Deacon because of
1. Business owners on west side need access and closing Cain affects them big time
2. Higher population density/traffic on Navarro due to duplexes.
It just seems anti-business for SBOs that are long-time members of the community.
(That and if they put a light at Deacon-which they would-there would be five lights between Rock Prairie and the last 2818/Wellborn ramp)

Back on topic, though. I think the zoning got approved for Rock Prairie east and Fitch. Is that area going to take off now? Quite a few $$$ homes coming on line over there.

I spent quite a bit of time at Century Square this weekend for a conference. Grabbed dinner at Piada. It was really good. Hey Sugar is an awesome spot and had quite a bit of business the times I went by. Blaze and Hopdoddy were packed and the green space was pretty busy and had live music. Zoe's was the only business not busy.

Overall, it is such a great addition to BCS. I noticed a lot of locals/non-students out there. I know there was an issue with the paid parking, but I hope they have figured that out. They do need to get their garage open ASAP. Between the hotels and restaurants there was nowhere to park. With more spaces opening soon, they really need to get that worked out. It seems like the garage would have been one of the first things completed. They also need to improve the walkability of the space. There is no clear way to navigate from the parking areas near the hotels to the shops and restaurants. Lots of people just wandering with cars trying to navigate through.

The lighting is also really bad. Very dark in most areas. I expect that will be addressed once construction is completed. Even string lights or lights on trees would go a long way.

Anyone know why the garage/movie theater at Century Square is taking so long? Seems like there hasn't been much progress in months.

No idea what is going on with the parking garage or why it is taking so long. I am starting to wonder whether the theater is going to happen or if it fell through. It was missing from the last press release:

The movie theatre is happening. Developers always over sell and under deliver vs timelines.

I hope you are right. It is strange it wasn't included in the press release. I guess that means it will be after Fall before it opens.

Looks like it will be owned by the same people that own The Bear Mountain. They will also be opening Legacy Gift Store in that center and are now hiring for both.

Isn't that the same space that Bear Mountain is moving or has moved to? Part of the space?

There is one owner; but, for legal and franchise reasons, there will be three different offices and addresses.

Makes sense. I was only asking because the last plans I saw in October had two buildings on the site.

I believe they recently relocated to the Planet Fitness shopping center. And are also opening the Ace Hardware and Legacy Gift Store. Not sure if it will be three separate stores or what.

They've been talking about moving on their social media for a few weeks now.

From what it looks like, it's going to be all one big store. I've looked inside while going into the gym and it doesn't seem to be separate stores. Could be wrong though

Just went by over lunch. The new Bear Mountain location opened today. It will share the space with ACE hardware as they have the same owner. ACE is expected to open in approx. 30 days.

The old ER at Century Square is apparently now the hiring center for the new theater. So I guess that confirms the theater is still on board and must be opening relatively soon if they're starting to hire.

What will 500 other standalone ERs in BCS become when they go out of business?
