Coming: Santa Hat on the I Heart Aggieland sign


I thought you were joking. How much you think they paid for accessories?

I can almost guarantee two things:

1. It was not cheap
2. They didn't use a local company.

Was coming here to say this. Let us know when the bill drops so we can read it.

I know we discussed it before but I can't remember where they bought the sign. I don't remember if they had the hat last year or not.

I don't recall the Santa hat last year. Just the graduation mortar board/hat.

Maybe it came with a "Hat of the Year Club" membership. Next year maybe it will have Easter Bunny Ears!

"Keep your money local" - NOT CoCS…

I'm sure it happened with previous councils.

A reliable source tells me that no Advanced Auto Parts stores in town are closing, at least this time around. Most of them are in Houston.

A very recent council approved the Instagram prop and has doubled and tripled down on it being a good expense because it got awards in some magazine nobody ever heard of that nobody ever reads.

Why not put a giant skeleton next to it or a big concrete gorilla and go through the seasons with it?

Staph needs to move all this CoCS sign crap to another thread.

The sign has a new Santa hat, so it fits the "coming" part of the coming and going theme.

The indoor tennis facility that was discussed here as yet another "Bryan knocking it out of the park" instance is no longer going to happen.

As I said about another project, let's at least see one shovel of dirt turned over before we hold a celebration parade.

Knocking it into the field where the mayor grazes his herd for $1?

Commercial lot just north of the Greens Prairie-Royder intersection sold after years on the market. Supposedly there's a gas station going in, but I haven't seen anything to substantiate that.

A gas station caddy-corner from the school?

Lots of residential there needing gasoline for their cars. And a coke, candy bar, and cigarette as needed, for convenience.

Plus, capitalism, demand for gummies and vapes is across the street!

The residents are gonna need blackout curtains for their windows from the bright lights of the canopy over the fuel pumps.

Sounds like the costs were getting way out of hand on that tennis facility and the city wisely chose to end it. They didn't go out and buy part of a mall or something.
Trump will fix it.

Paying "friends of council members" is keeping it local.

False dichotomy. They can help local businesses without corruption.

Lot doesn't go all the way to Royder either, so all traffic will in/out on GP, in a school zone. Seems like a ****ty spot for one, but what do I know

That's a huge lot for a gas station. It's about twice the size of the big Chevron in Wellborn and three times the size of the 7-Eleven up at Highway 40 and Wellborn Road.

I hope this is a false rumor, because I live very near that lot.

I was told a few years ago that there are multiple underground utilities going through that lot. Heavy infrastructure cost to develop it.

Obviously wouldn't take up the whole thing. I'd bet they try to do a little commercial development there

Buccees? Or plenty of room for a nail place and chicken place in the connected strip center.
