Flyrod, are you Greg D?
Well half the bars turn over every 5 years so the alcohol sales obviously aren't where everyone needs them to be.

Northgate is a physical location, so having it go somewhere would be pretty difficult I imagine. But good places will likely leave for greener pastures (downtown Bryan, SCstat), while crappy places (like the ones you rather aggressively shill for) will stay.
Seemed like a shining star and outlier compared to the rest of Northgate. I imagine the land will go multi-family shortly.

There's a survey going out regarding zoning by CoCS and a couple of town hall type events today. Seems like a good oppty to express opinions. I will completing the survey. That areas does not need to be multi-family.
KBTX confirms: no Top Golf for BCS.

Not surprising. Hopefully one of the alternatives pans out.
PS who was the poster that said their friend works in permitting and said that Top Golf (or similar) was going through the process. Is that where the rumor came from?

Check the alcohol sales online. They're a matter of public record. No opinion here, just the facts
I will say that I've been disappointed at how dead Northgate has been this entire academic year compared to last. Especially Thursdays

Here. I guess I was given poor info. I can say that there definitely were documents that's said Top golf on them back when I posted the rumor at the time.

I'm not sure what your point is. Are you saying no bar has ever closed on Northgate due to money? Who cares about alcohol sales if you don't know operating expenses?

People are discovering that there are places to go that don't smell like vomit and sewage, won't ask you for your first born for parking, and won't have some sketchy staff or owner roofie your drink. BCS is growing up.
Anyone know if the Toys R Us is still open, and if so what it's inventory/pricing situation is?
Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.

Let's not forget you edited out you little slight dig at Bryan and replaced it with:

There was no dig at Bryan that I'm aware of. I actually love Dtown Bryan. I was countering an earlier statement that I disagreed with. There was no edit to that post as you can clearly see.

You may have started a rumor that the local news had to dispel. Quite the power you have!
I understand fully that NG has the highest alcohol sales,however, the area has really gone downhill over the past 5 years. Really need to see more planned development. I imagine that we will see development cluster towards Century Square in the future.

The parcel where Harry's is will develop after Century Square finishes and of course they find a suitable anchor.
I've actually seen a lot of improvements in Northgate in the last 5 years, not the opposite.

KBTX saying BWD's NG lease had them paying the property tax and it greatly increased this year, so they decided not to re up.

That would be a perfect location for a Trader Joe's with apartments on top.

If KBTX got their rumor mill info from here I'm laughing... but yes, apparently there's a chance I can start legitimate rumors.

They've spoken with Trader Joe's amongst others. Trader Joe's hasn't been interested to date. They do have someone interested lately, but they're not disclosing who.
Northgate has seen it's better days unless you like sewage smells, trash in the streets and unruly college students.
Downtown Bryan, Century Square and SoCS are now drawing huge crowds for those who appreciate fine food and drink, attentive staff and a clean environment. If you are over 35 what does Northgate
Have to offer? Nothing!

Northgate's hasn't had anything for over 35 since I can remember. Just like 6th street in Austin hasn't. It's for students/youth.
However, gamedays in Northgate with all of the fans and families are pretty incredible.
These circumstances are common in many college towns nationwide.

I just spent too much time reading about Northgate that had nothing to do with the Comings and Goings of new business. Please move that discussion elsewhere.

It's right across from campus, it's for college kids. Move on.
I think you're more likely to see an HEB Urban Store in Century Square than anything else. Midway is working on a few mixed use projects in Houston with HEB. Buffalo Heights and another project in the Kirby area.
No idea if the dirt costs warrants but I could see that being where they likely want to end up. That part of college station is likely going to have 5-7000 beds in a compact area with little grocery amenities.

All true except I'm not talking about Century Square. I'm referring to Legacy Point across the street, which is of course a different developer....
Legacy Point is Harrys, right?
