Bryan putting "Birthplace of Aggieland" on their water tower to me is the most asinine thing that I have seen a city do in decades.....and it's not even true, it was outside of Bryan.BQ_90 said:

FIFY
Combines and other wide farm equipment have traveled down single and two lane country roads for decades and decades without any issues.maroon barchetta said:
The large combines and stuff don't still participate? I would think they are too large.

Regardless of the veracity of the statement, it highlights that they think there isn't anything in Bryan itself to brag about. That's not what they should be emphasizing.
More digs. The fact is BCS is one community (albeit two governments), or should I say WE are one community. Only the carpetbaggers tend to make digs at one or the other. Maybe Bryan should just put home of TAMU RELLIS if it irks people. The success of College Station didn't happen without Bryan. It was a train stop at the university.Bucketrunner said:

Yep. It was great that they gave land where A&M was located. Too bad the land was not in Bryan. I have friends that say when they were teenages they used to drive from Bryan to go south to A&M. it was outside of Bryan. Per the map on the link, The City of Bryan extended to where the bend in on Texas Avenue which is about 4 miles from Texas A&M.halibut sinclair said:woodiewood1 said:Bryan putting "Birthplace of Aggieland" on their water tower to me is the most asinine thing that I have seen a city do in decades.....and it's not even true, it was outside of Bryan.

The Morrill Land-Grant Bill, passed by the U.S. Congress in 1862, granted Texas 180,000 acres of land to establish an agricultural and mechanical college. The offer was accepted in 1866, but again there was a delay. The Legislature finally provided for the establishment of a land-grant college in April 1871. Three commissioners were appointed to locate and build the college within three months an impossible task.
The commissioners were wooed by officials of several communities, including Bryan in Brazos County, Kellum Springs and Piedmont Springs in Grimes County, and Bellville in Austin County. Officials in Bryan successfully courted the commissioners with talk of contributions of $20,000-30,000 if the college located there.
Bryan businessmen aggressively promoted the town through land giveaways. To the Agricultural and Mechanical College, they made a total grant of 2,416 acres.

Start at Post Oak Mall
Mile and a half route west on Holleman, and then turn south on Dartmouth, follow Dartmouth across SW Parkway and then turn left on Krenek Tap and finish at Central Park.
