Little kerfuffle re Kinderhill Brewery and The Wild Garlic Pizza, both of which were supposed to be moving into a brick and mortar place. Wild Garlic says they've parted ways, and Kinderhill says they'll be doing their own Detroit style pizza when the brewery reopens.

All on Instagram for the curious.

It's on Facebook too. I wonder if it hasn't anything to do with how long the renovation on that space is taking.

A Japanese restaurant I believe. I cannot remember the name.
Goodness, we have close to 17 Japanese restaurants in College Station!

Yep, Nov. 22 last day. A couple conversations I've had with some restaurant owners suggested that they think they might be very short staffed in the near future and are making tough choices about what to close and what to stay open. Tai is a good guy and a good businessman so I'm happy his presence will be here come what may.

What makes them think they will be short staffed?

Tbh I'm not sure. I think a lot of businesses try, as best they can, to look ahead and read whatever tea leaves they can. A lot of our local BCS business owners are Mays graduates and pretty savvy so I take them at their word.

Sorry, know nothing about them. I just posted it so I'd remember it. I'll see it next time we go to Frida's though. My kids will probably want to check it out. They bank re-selling those cards.

When I was in high school, I saw a vacant lot around the corner from our house become a fully operating Taco Bell in 22 days.

My old roommate was a Jehovah's Witness and participated in some of their church building projects.

They could have built four Taco Bell's in that time period.

https://www.bryantx.gov/new-mixed-use-development-planned-for-downtown-bryan/

The Bryan City Council approved a performance-based Chapter 380 Economic Development Agreement with OFL Group, a Bryan-based developer, to create a multi-phase, mixed-use destination at the northern gateway of Downtown Bryan during their Nov. 12 meeting.



Phase I is slated to begin in 2025 and will include the construction of a five-story, 130-room upscale hotel and a modern meeting spaces, along with a parking structure that will accommodate over 340 vehicles. This first phase is projected for completion in 2027.

The development's second phase, scheduled for completion in 2029, will bring a six-story, mixed-use residential building with underground parking for approximately 400 vehicles, designed to enhance accessibility and urban living in the heart of Downtown.

The third and final phase will add another six-story structure, anticipated to include condominium units and an office component, attracting residents and fostering long-term community stability.

Agreed they have done well with downtown in general. But the Lasalle will never break even on the serial taxpayer funded philanthropy. Break ground and open something before we should celebrate.

Around here, when all is said and done, a whole lot more is said than done.

Now that the city no longer owns it, I'd love to see the final numbers on it.

Any link, to how much Federal $$ of "Rescue Plan Act" and "Inflation Reduction Act" were received by CoB?
Brazos county got $44.5 million, from the RPA, don't know how much more came in later.

It's like winning the lottery, government/bureacracy wise...
