I wish Chubby's well. That location is the kiss of death for so many places. Hell I've already forgotten that kinda gourmet restaurant that used to be in that strip? I like the Middle East place and glad they're hanging on.

La Riveria?
Yes. Thanks.
May not be a bad play for the university to buy in bankruptcy at a steep discount given their position

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't take AMEX and Discover. AMEX in particular costs much more for the merchant to accept. Keeping costs low has convenience trade offs.
Discover cards are still a thing?
50 plus million cardholders, as well as being their own bank. So yes, Discover is still a thing.
Costco and Amex had an exclusive arrangement until 2016. that was the only card they took.
Joe's Italian is closed
Say it isn't so, Joe.

Less than a year. They haven't updated their social media/website yet though

That's the 3rd Italian restaurant to close in the last few months.
Third? Who closed other than Fritella?
Carinos
That's right. I know they're Italian but they were never on my radar when I wanted to get Italian.
There was dirt work being done for an apartment complex built on Harvey across from Koppe Bridge and Sawed Off Crossfit. They put up temporary fencing, a job site trailer, did a ton of clearing and dirt work and then everything stopped a few weeks ago. The pads have weeds growing everywhere and there is a huge stack of PVC in the corner. Looks like the job has been abandoned. Anyone know what's going on?
Wow, that was fast. People seemed to like the food.ratfacemcdougal said:

Why yes, yes I really do run the best (and only) BCS ICEE Guide!
Pizza was very good. Other stuff we tried was just ok.
The Joe's in Brenham closed several months ago. Last time I went by Hempstead was open. Local one got at least a one day close by the health department.
I've been wondering that myself. Even when they were working, the progress was painfully slow.lawless89 said:

Not surprised. I did takeout from there only once and the inside was filthy!
What's the Deal with all these Joe's Italian places? I see they are also in Madisonville, Conroe, Bellville, Victoria and other cities. Some have the same logo, others are different. The menus all look very similar. Same owners, franchises or what, I wonder?
The waitress we had several times in Hempstead told us they were franchises. This was just after Brenham had closed and shortly after we heard one was coming to College Station.halibut sinclair said:

You can be our test case to see if they are really closed.

Big discussion recently about Top Tier gas and Sam's, Costco, etc vs. name brands. Good to be informed.

Nothing actually wrong, just not top tier. No additives to prevent carbon buildup, etc. Otherwise, the gas itself is good quality. There are better choices is all.

That's a little misleading. It's not "bad for your car", just not the best for your car. Your car isn't all of the sudden going to crap out simply because you used Sam's gas.

All of A sudden , not the.
Top tier for sure
