Let's start the wagers on the location.

Winner gets beaver nuggets, jerky, and a Dr Pepper ice-ee purchased by those who guessed wrong.

It makes sense to have it there, especially with the hospitality component. Right now A&M offers a hospitality certificate. This will greatly help with the hotel component. I'm imaging like the Hilton Hospitality School at U of H that has the hotel on campus. They can utilize the A&M hotel and conference center as well.

I think it's going here:


"intersection of Wellborn Road and the pedestrian tunnel that functions as the main foot and automobile traffic corridor on campus" is an interesting description. Pedestrian tunnel, main foot/auto corridor could also describe the intersection at old main and Wellborn, which would put it in the curved parking lot on the other side of the ILSQ. Not exactly shadow of Kyle and the hotel there though.

Why not just use a street name? It doesn't take but a second or two to look at a map and see the street is named John Kimbrough Blvd (or Old Main if it is the other location).
I read it as Lot 62 since that really is the only available location at the intersection of Wellborn and the tunnel that is also across the street from the hotel and literally in the shadow of Kyle Field. The indoor/outdoor recreation component makes me think at least the northern half of the parking lot will be taken up by it but potentially the whole parking lot all the way up to the new indoor football practice facility could (hopefully!) be included. I'm always a fan of more green space on campus.

I'm on day two of my Chili-Cheese fries journey. I'm at Freddy's tonight. While their chili cheese fries are good- I must report that Wienerschnitzel's are still the best. Any suggestions for exceptional chili-cheese fries in BCS?

Seems like a terrible place as it would block the view of Kyle field. Also, the campus master plan from 2017 still has that as parking whereas the options on west campus (either Kimbrough or old main) are designated for new buildings eventually. Of course, the campus master plan would turn just about every parking lot into a building eventually.

They would never put a building next to Kyle. Thats why a parking garage wasn't built so that the view of Kyle would be unobstructed. Once again its going where the logo is…

Lot 61 would make more sense given that it would be on west campus with Mays and COALS.

Driving towards Northgate on University, the new dome under construction at St. Mary's looks great. It will be a wonderful addition to that area of town and the College Station "skyline."

One of the (prior?) owners of Fritella posted on the BCS Meals & Deals Facebook page that they are considering giving private cooking lessons and/or putting out a cookbook. Needless to say, there were hundreds of positive reactions. Keep an eye on that group for more info, hopefully.

I don't have any info on what might be going in there in the future, but Gumbeaux Cajun Catering does a pop-up lunch in that spot on the 3rd Saturday of every month.

Currently Wienerschnitzel is the best I've found in BCS for chili-cheese fries! I love them so much.

They have shut down then reopened like 3 times now since they originally opened, and one of those times they were closed for quite a while. Wonder if this one is actually for good this time.

When is Gringos opening?

I haven't seen any work on Trudy's yet either. I went by there yesterday seeing if they'd let me sample a Mexican Martini and NOBODY was there. I'm thinking this was a bad rumor and I'll hunt you down.
