All the extra folding cash was consumed at Double Vodka's.

Don't recall how the pizza was but the Borscht was da Bomb.

When they closed, there was something in their final post about reorganizing and reopening at some point. I don't think that's going to happen.

I think you'd be correct on that one.

Eating at Union Food Hall in Waco now. Cool concept. Looks to be about 80-85% occupied by vendors here. Would fare better closer to campus maybe but will be fun to go out to dinner/lunch and not have to agree on a food type.

Site plans have been submitted for a new 18-story apartment with ground level retail at University/First/Church. It looks like it will be in two sections and they are extending Patricia St. to the part of University turns off to get to Wellborn.

The apartment will be 208 feet in height, 45,000 square feet, and have 850 bedrooms.

This will be a pretty unique project given the location and shape of the site. The architect has some pretty good projects on their website: https://www.dwelldesignstudio.com/projects/505-courtland.

This block has needed some love. The "food truck park" wasn't great.

edit: dwell design studio is the architect, not the developer.

Sign is up for another Tropical Smoothie Cafe. It's at Towerpoint in the new, still under construction, retail strip center in front of H-E-B.

I really wish they had smaller sizes driven towards kids.

Wonder how many of those new spaces are already leased? Tropical might be the first place open in that new area. Noticed it over the weekend.

Pretty sure Chef Cao is moving down the hill because H-E-B is taking over their current spot.

Casa Mangiare, can't wait. Guessing that was their soft opening. Surely someone from Texags was there! Betting they'll be open to the public by the weekend. I look forward to going.

Are there any updates on the former Macy's building at the mall?

Perhaps The Oracle returned just to First To Review it on Yelp. Someone check!

What's his new username?

The old one got nuked because Yelp hates us.

RIP Wild & Wooly Wednesday at the 29th street store. Good times, good times.

How many requests did you get to take bus riders off-route and drop them there?

Or was it on the route?

They said big announcement in two weeks, maybe the return of the buffet?! One can hope…

This is my hope too!! However, the GB location was the closest to work so it will make lunch buffets near impossible to visit again.

I never had a route that ran down 29th street. I did take the bus through Taco Bell on Harvey Rd on my last route on my day as a driver though, and bought a crispy taco for everyone on the bus.

Woodhouse spa at Lakewood opened yesterday.

Factory Builder is opening their College Station location on May 3.

HTea0 (that's been discussed on here before) posted on their social media that the College Station location is coming soon. Have they broken ground yet? On Wellborn next to the Berkeley House.

A new location for Factory Builder as they already have a presence here - where?

Wife has been looking forward to Woodhouse Spa. Their is a hole in the Spa market - hope it delivers!
