When College Station buys an old department store, it's "government overreach". When Bryan leases parkland for FREE to a movie theater, it's "good leadership".Captn_Ag05 said:

Here is the only problem with your statement. You seem to think that by saying Bryan leadership is running circles around College Station leadership that it means Bryan is doing a really good job on that front. No. They also suck. All it really means is College Station leadership is atrocious at it and Bryan leadership is just moderately bad...PS3D said:When College Station buys an old department store, it's "government overreach".

Free? The company is leasing the land from the city for $175,000 per year (with a 1% annual escalation) once the project is complete.PS3D said:When College Station buys an old department store, it's "government overreach".

Like the entertainment destination idea. But we don't need any more movie screens in BCS.

More of the design ideas and floor plans for the Movie Bowl Grille. It is only five theaters and they will also be used for E-sports. So, it is definitely more geared towards bowling, an arcade, a 21+ arcade, pickleball, and outdoor games. There's also a restaurant, brewery, and amphitheater area. The plans also show paddle boats.

Anyone know when that construction will start and expected completion date?
Construction is supposed to start by next August and open in September 2024.
Great to have the Schulmans back in business doing good stuff in Bryan.
Love reading the comments on Facebook. What a pathetic group of complainers!
If they are so confident on what BCS needs, they should invest their money to make it happen.

Is that lake water safe now?

Prior to excavations beginning at the lake, core samples were taken across the lake in a grid formation to determine the levels of arsenic at various depths for a total of 270 sediment samples analyzed for arsenic. We were pleasantly surprised to learn from test samples that arsenic levels were low enough to allow disposal at our local landfill. The design team used these results to prepare the excavation plans and give the contractor specific direction.
....
Arsenic exists naturally in soils and sediment and the plan was never to eliminate all traces of arsenic but rather the plan was to deepen the lake for greater water capacity, enhanced aesthetics, and expanded recreational use. The lake sediment and nearby soils were previously cleared by TCEQ for fishing and recreational activities prior to beginning this current project. The excavation of the 143,132 cubic yards of material further enhances the lake for recreational activity.
Read the agreement, the first two years of rent are a dollar a year. Yeah it goes up to $60k in year 3 and the city expects a bunch of money in sales or to cover the difference, but it doesn't go to $175k a year until year 5.rocketscience said:Free?

Ouch.
Wonder if the nine people that starred that earlier post about the $175k are going to unstar it now that Paul Harvey has shared "the rest of the story".
Feelings over facts is what runs BCS
Possible plans for the Macy's space at Post Oak Mall.

I got to tour the new Blinn building at RELLIS the other day. A huge chunk of the first floor is devoted to an esports arena. I guess A&M is saying "Hold my beer."AggieBaseball06 said:Seems like an awful lot of money and wasted space to play Call of Duty.gigem92 said:

Are they going to have drone racing? Why would you need such a huge space for video games?
Maybe an arena to host Esports eventsTailgate88 said:

E-sports arena for tournaments would be excellent!
It's too small and oddly arranged for a big tournament.
No way is the esports team getting charged anything close to the rent it would require for the city to break even.
This has the look of trying to bail out the Titanic with a thimble

I have no inside data on esports or drone racing revenue but my gut tells me that this is a growing market and not a bad gamble for the city to optimize the mall space.maroon barchetta said:

My son who is quite familiar with the esports team says this plan is not being well-received by his peers on campus and to expect that this will be a cluster normally seen only in Mongolia.

Obviously on a smaller scale. But mainly meant to show that there is a large interest esports and watching esports among some populations. I don't think a lot of people understand how popular it is. I don't quite get the attraction of watching others play a video game myself.

Betting a significant portion of this board has no idea that the Schulmans once owned all the theaters in BCS.
Good people.
I spent many a Friday night seeing a dollar movie at the Shulman 6 Theater.AG81 said:halibut sinclair said:

Anchor Bar is opening a location in College Station.

The Anchor Bar is spreading its wings even wider, with plans to open six new franchise locations across the country next year.
Mark Dempsey, CEO of Anchor Bar Franchise and Development and co-business partner with Marcia Wright, said the new locations will be located in the following communities:
- Bradenton, Florida
- Cincinnati, Ohio
- College Station, Texas
- Leesburg, Virginia
- Orlando/Lakeland, Florida
- Raleigh, North Carolina
The Anchor Bar's original location on Main Street in Buffalo is considered to be the birthplace of the "original Buffalo chicken wing." There are now 13 other Anchor Bar locations, including five in Western New York, four in Texas and one across the border in Hamilton, Ontario.

Another chicken wing place? Can't have too many of those.
From the College Station permit report, I see that the Quality Inn on 6 that has been shut down since the winter storm is going to be cleaned up and remodeled.
I am growing tired of responses like this when a new business is announced. Someone has apparently decided it is worthwhile and decided to put their money into opening this restaurant up. I guess we will see how the BCS market responds. I wish them, and anyone else taking the risk to open a business in the community, success. You are certainly welcome to not eat there if you don't think it is needed.AG81 said:Captn_Ag05 said:

Anchor Bar in NY is where the buffalo wing was invented. We ate at one in San Antonio and it was great. I am so looking forward to this.
The folks at The Republic are rumored to be opening an Italian restaurant. No other details at this time.

Just imagine the late late night esports crowd racing drones through the mall concourse over the early early morning mall walking crowd! Could make for some interesting entertainment!!
