I've gotten takeout from them a few times. It was pretty good, but yeah, I was always the only customer there and there were a couple of employees doing paperwork in a booth the whole time I was there.

The partner and I have eaten at Babylon maybe 30 times but only a couple times in recent years. The food has ranged from OK to excellent. Their early months were a bit rocky and had too many staff and too few cohesive policies.
The hookahs and their heavily scented vapors wafting through the dining room have stopped us from going much of the time.

Does anyone know what's up with Taco Bar on wellborn? Oldam Goodwin has their suite for lease and says available Feb 2022.
Are they moving or shutting down? I really like Taco Bar so hope they stay around.

I haven't heard anything. I'll ask the next time we're in the.
Hopefully upgrading. I really like them.Sub4 said:

The state taxpayer site says there's a business called "Corn Fusion" that's at that address.
Here's their website:
https://www.cornfusionbcs.com/
That's confusing. The suite is for lease in 2022. Corn Fusion has a website saying "coming Early 2021". While Taco Bar is currently in the unit right now.
Corn Fusion is owned by Taco Bar. It's going to be a food truck.
That food truck is appropriately named, judging by the prior posts. Thanks trouble for clearing it up!
KBTX story on the new data center at RELLIS. May become one of the biggest taxpayers in the county.

Trump will fix it.
And our leaders will still spend more, vs cutting us taxpayers a break!!
"A&M is so valuable that they can't stay away from it, so when the city and county give them a tax break, it's not necessary," said Southerland
That way of thinking is what helped us miss out on multiple big opportunities over the years. It makes absolutely no sense

Agreed. You've got to buy a stock first before it starts paying dividends.TommyBrady said:

Agreed, They're getting a rebate from their own property Taxes. No one's tax money is going to this company.
You have look at the bigger picture. Rellis is a valuable asset for the City of Bryan, College Station and Brazos County. This new center opens up opportunities for more companies and new businesses. It is a win win for all the entities and citizens to allow the incentives. New jobs and good development potential for west Bryan.
Be glad you missed the late 70s-y2k
My daughter told me tonight about a bbq food truck named 1976 bbq out on hwy 30. Anybody heard of this place, or been there? I found them on FB.
I think that they used to be out on OSR. They have been known to try and capitalize off 1775's success when people confuse the two.
I haven't had the BBQ but haven't heard much about it.
They park in the beer joint parking lot across from Smitty K's. Used to park at the Cole Stop gas station.

They haven't been known to do that. He even mentions them on his Facebook page to avoid confusion.
They're both good but 1775 is better. Never got them confused either.

New biergarten and brewpub set to open Friday in Downtown Bryan
Next to the Kyle House. Napa Flats will have their food truck on site. Open Friday - Sunday.
I got to meet the owners. Sounds exciting. They (husband and wife) have quite the brewing resume, working at Cigar City, Jester King, and Shiner.
We went last night. It's a great outdoor space. They had sold out of several of their beers on Friday night so half the taps on Saturday were guest taps. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more of their beers. It's nice to have another brewery option in BCS especially with New Republic closing.
Honest question, do you ever have anything nice to say about local folks that may work in IT such as yourself?

In my opinion, New Republic was terrible, so it's like we have a new brewery, not a replacement brewery.

I have friends that work in the business and are local. I've worked for 3-4 different local places, last one being around 2010. I live local, but definitely don't work local.
The problem with IT jobs in B/CS is simply this: you get what you pay for. When the salary high water mark is $50-$60k, the level of competency is about bottom of the barrel. Are there really good people who work for peanuts? Yes, I know a couple, but in general, they move somewhere else to make more $$$ - I know a couple dozen of those folks. It's also been my experience that you can't treat IT and IT security expenses like an afterthought.... just ask the guys at Colonial Piieline, Equifax, Target, Etc.
ETA: the Teague remark? I've seen broom closets at Junior Colleges in south Kansas that are better "datacenters".
Anyone who's good in IT can easily make 6 figures if they want to. I'm not in IT, but I've dealt with IT departments that could never hope to compete with the tech giants, oil and gas, defense contractors, etc. and it shows. There are definitely those that, for whatever reason, settle but those are the exceptions to the rule.
Buff City Soap coming to Jones Crossing by I Heart Mac & Cheese.
While bison soup sounds interesting, it is Buff City Soap, a sorta hippie soap place like Lush.chloelee said:

Seems like a heckuva challenge to make a living selling soap to hippies

Tortilleria Mi Tierra opened today in Bryan. If you're coming from Hwy 6 on WJB it's just on the other side of downtown. They offer freshly made tortillas (by the kilo), salsas, food plates, and other items. There is no seating so the food plates are to-go. The tortilla machine is cool to watch. My corn tortillas were still warm when I got home. My only regret is only ordering 2 tacos.

I saw that today. Right before the Boys and Girls Club. Definitely will stop next time I'm that way.

Updated my post to hopefully fix - cropped the links a little too well LOL
Never mind.
He changed his name from Mr. BBQ to 1976 after 1775 started getting recognized by TX Monthly and other media outlets. I have a screenshot from Facebook to prove it but cant figure how to post it.LastHamlet said:ChampsAg said:
