"1912" is the developer for the gas & convenience store across from Veterans Park on University.
Somebody has to lose. Might as well be t.u.

TXB wants to put 5-6 locations in BCS according to the press release they put out when they broke ground on the first location.

New signage at 2818 and F &B road for "1912". Any ideas?









I've just realized Nabisco, was an abbreviation for the National Biscuit Company!

Urban Bird Hot Chicken going in at Jones Crossing

https://www.urbanbirdhotchicken.com/
This will be going in where Zero Degrees used to be. I didn't realize Zero Degrees had even shut down.

Also, does anyone else feel like the parking lot at Jones Crossing is difficult to navigate? Especially if you come in off Wellborn at the light. There is no good way to work your way over to the shops and restaurants.

Yes, unless I'm going to HEB, I come in the other side by CFA

Glad I am not the only one. It is like they started creating a driving lane and then stopped it about half way through behind the gas pumps. Seems like such a poor design to me.

Just avoid turning into Jones Crossing at the light at Balcones Dr. If heading north on Wellborn, go past the light and enter between the gas pumps at the retail strip (Waxwing Lane). If heading south on Wellborn, turn left onto 2818 and then right into Jones Crossing at the Chick Fil A (Boxwood Trail). It takes you directly to the retail centers. You'll then avoid a lot of the HEB shoppers.

And if headed east on 2818, stay on 2818 past Wellborn and turn in by the pond.

Edit: Leaving and heading south on Wellborn is annoying.

This. For God's sake this.

Stop taking the flyover from 2818 to Wellborn south just so you can IMMEDIATELY go all the way to the left three lanes over so you can turn left onto Balcones.

Just go over Wellborn and turn right by the pond.

How this problem wasn't foreseen, I don't know. At the risk of inducing another median in this town, they really should put up a barrier to prevent this.

I can think of several places in town where folks do (or attempt) this. I think the traffic planning folks just don't care. Maybe solved with more medians? ;-)

Remember how they gave us speed bumps galore then red-light traffic cameras? Total insanity!

Brazos county commissioners approved a contract for $1.8 million with St.Joseph to purchase 11 acres of land next to the hospital in Bryan for the new medical examiners office. Great news for the area. The area that was originally targeted next to the Health Science Center was not suitable due to deep ravines.

Now that makes sense. I wondered when the location change happened. Didn't that land potentially sell before on 29th and then resistance to multifamily killed the deal ? It would seem the proposed use would be pretty low intensity. St Joe has wanted to sell that land for over a decade.

Wasn't there a plan to put it near Stotzer and 2818 out near NCTM at one point?

I would like to see someone do a study showing how many businesses came in to the newer large retail centers and did not make it.

We have Jones, Tower Pt, Caprock, that immediately come to mind.

Is the sqft cost similar between these 3 locations?

There's a sign on the old C&J location on Texas. Looks like Mexican seafood but I keep forgetting to jot down the name.

Good Gringos post, and now to feed the A board foodie thread, what establishment is serving your favorite green sauce? I love the green stuff but find it varies wildly.

I have not visited in a while but a favorite was at Taquerias Arandas. It really had/has a kick to it!

The best ever green sauce was Cafe Laredo in Lake Jackson.

Appears to be. Menu doesn't look half bad actually. I might skip the "all you can eat sushi" (which sounds sketchy as heck) and stick to the basic hot dishes.

What kind of green sauce? Cream cheese based, avocado, tomatillo, or the jalapeno/garlic/oil/salt green sauce at many Mexican places? If it's the latter, the El Gallo brand at HEB is authentic and excellent:
