So was I. First I've of heard of this change.

The BCS obsession with chicken fingers rolls on; maybe every restaurant should just rebrand as chicken fingers only. Could generate some interesting PR.

I remember when we had fowl digits, laynes, and canes right there in a row and we called it "the chicken strip" … rip.
The "new" Chicken Strip is the Jones Crossing Shopping Center, featuring Chick Fil A, Urban Bird Hot Chicken, Wing Stop and Another Broken Egg

Make no mistake about it, increases in commercial property insurance and property taxes are playing a significant role in the recent increase in closures. These increases are passed through to the tenants. I worked on a bond steering committee for a local ISD. It was heavily weighted with school district employees, and a few industry professionals. The school district employees were very caviler about raising the tax rate with the bond. "Oh its not a big increase," but when you factor in what they're doing on the valuation side, tax increases have been astronomical on many retail centers.

The song and dance from the county and CoCS is that the "rate" decreased… but, if one looks through all the bovine excrement, the effective amount went up by at least 10%.

Meanwhile, the county is sitting on a "rainy day fund" of $100M

Don't forget the school literally telling people that the bond would not increase their taxes.

Don't blame me for that. I made it pretty clear, I voted against their bond. I knew it was going to increase taxes.

Not blaming you at all. I think you and I agree on all fronts as far as taxes in this town go. Probably best to stop clogging up the thread, though, before we're reminded that this is a coming and going thread. Afterall, high taxes are already here and never leaving.

Wow, I forgot about Fontana's. We ate there a couple times and it was really good, and then it went quickly downhill if I recall. As long as Joe's in Navasota stays open then my Italian food needs are met.

I was really hoping they'd add a second or third restaurant near Chick-fil-A.

I thought that P. Terry's was going to open here, and if not at least give me a 24 hour dine-in restaurant.

Imperial Chinese has a sign saying they will be open June 27th. It was likely a lease issue.

World Nail Spa is rebuilding, the old "Ku-Ku Burger" building is not long for this world.

If you watch the buy one get one free coupons, or 1/2 off, this is a good indicator of a restaurant in trouble.

Yes, but it started out as Ku-Ku Burger, a long-defunct chain of restaurants. Here's the last surviving one in Oklahoma, with later additions but still serving its original purpose.

It was a chicken place before Baskin Robbins.

"Stupid to re-open in such a horrible location" - south CS'ers

Meh. We have a number of good Chinese places down here. Which makes going there still inconvenient. Enjoy your meal.

Not inconvenient at all for a good many people, which was the point.

Plenty of options close to my place.

C&C
T. Jin's is still good
Chef Cao's
Shogun

It's Chinese food. It's not like steak where there's a huge difference between Republic and Outback… Unless Chinese is "bad", it's pretty good.

And if asked, Schlossnagle would probably deny the act. But if we've learned anything in the past 3 days, we've learned we cannot believe a denial by him to be truth. In fact, a denial by Schlossnagle is an implicit admission.

I'm kinda stunned by how much food they must have in stock. I get having loads of rice, noodles, and fortune cookies. But you still have to keep getting fresh vegetables. Not sure how much of the proteins are "frozen" and heavily stocked.

It does seem like part of the problem may have been their inventory management if it takes weeks to clear out your stock.

Might depend on how angry he got at the question.
