The garage is always free and easy access to Mo's, I'm confused why people think paid parking is the issue.
If we lose Mess I might see blaming it on parking.

Century Square parking
Parked right in front of Lulu and dropped a good amount of $$$$ in 30 minutes. Got my $25 thank you card right away. Not going back if there's an alternative and there's always a restaurant alternative
You're saying you got a $25 ticket?
That's so weird..
I don't trust that garage

Just because large chunks of concrete fall off of the structure every year and make the news doesn't mean there is a problem.
The engineers they hired to look at it said so.
I mean, think of all the other buildings in town that lose big chunks of concrete over their lifetime.

That's fair, but I'd rather risk my car get crushed by the garage collapsing than pay for parking.

I don't pay for parking either. There's nothing over there I can't live without.
There is a grease trap in the sidewalk along the west side of that garage and then wind would tend to carry it against the garage.
I started parking there to avoid getting tickets since I refused to pay for their parking to frequent their shopping center.
Guess there is no real reason to go there anymore.

This is very surprising to read. I'm going to miss that one bartender. You all know the one.

Yeah not sure here. It seemed to change every semester.
It was good at first and the service was really bad towards the end - looking forward to what is next - and I just don't pay for the parking there - its fine
I'll miss Mo's and have a question for all those complaining about paying for parking: Why not park in the garage? The 3rd floor and up is free and my family uses it all the time for lunch dates, Star Cinema Grill, etc. Is parking the garage free not well known amongst the patrons? I'd never pay to park to go to a business and you don't have to either.
Blaming the parking is the same strategy folks used to explain the closure of Amico Nave. If the parking was the issue, I doubt the Shipwreck folks would chose that location to expand the seafood joint.
Well, my truck barely fits in the garage so it kind of sucks listening to the antenna bang all the way up.
Parking should be part of the rent paid by the merchants. I get it is next to campus, so the shopping center could find a happy medium and allow free parking during the evening and weekends.
Parked in and worked on many shopping centers and this is the only I have seen like this.

"The median killed our business!!!"
"Let's move our other business over there. Killer median or not."
Parking is the main issue. I never think to go to Century Square ever. I refuse to deal with that rigmarole.

More like, the city gave us a grant for facade work….
Ya'll do know parking is free on Sunday? There are a lot of great places there to avoid $2 parking Mon-Sat.

The chances I will be scheduling my visits to an establishment thinking about parking fee free days is as close to 0 as anything can come.

Just works great for us as the only day we really go out for lunch is Sunday and our church is nearby.EBrazosAg said:

This is the main issue. It's refreshing to see the change in attitudes on here. When Century Square first opened many on here said paid parking was NBD and you see it in big cities all the time. Others pointed out this would be one of the very few places in town requiring it and it would hurt business. Time has proven us right.phillytex24 said:

I only went once. The manager had every TV on some soccer game and would not switch even one to anything else. Never went back
There is no mechanism I'm aware of if you don't pay for parking - if they give a citation - just chunk it - its a private entity
The first Lowes here closed.Stupe said:
Has to mean Furrows.
Neither of the Lowe's locations here have ever closed down.
Clucky pointed that out on page one and gave the specific location. Including what is there right now.
I even responded saying that might have been the one that you were talking about.

When was Lowe's there? It was a skating rink before Grand Station.
It was a lumber yard 85-89. Not Lowes…. Maybe 44?

The current grand station was built as lowes in 80 or 81. Knew a guy that was the lead controller at Easterwood until he was optimized by ronald regan. He was hired to be a manager shortly after at that lowes location. He was there only a few months until lowes decided to exit the market. The building was vacant for what seemed a long period before Ernie camp purchased it and opened wolfpen bowl.
Furrows was at 6 and harvey in what is now lock and roll. They preceded and were operating long after lowes opened and closed.

It was Lowes. I bought a lot of stuff there. It was much smaller than the ones now.EBrazosAg said:

"While Bryan got a Lowe's store sometime in the mid-1990s and College Station 2010, College Station did have an even older Lowe's store. As it turns out, we did get a Lowe's back in the mid-1980s, on the bypass. It was much different than the Lowe's of today, much smaller and featuring slightly more departments before streamlining (like electronics!) but it didn't do so well, and closed circa 1989. From what I can read up, it became Brazos Valley Golf Driving Range (2400 East Bypass), but by the 1990s it was known as Wolf Pen Bowl & Skate, which featured a large roller skating rink, a snack bar, and of course a bowling alley, "
I remember Lock and Roll was furrows. That was true even late 90s. Guess I didn't know Lowes from DFW and remember 44 Lumber since that was the DFW area chain back then. Interesting that it was Lowes.

Driving range was on the other side of the bypass. It was lowes, vacant then wolfpen bowl.
There never was an 84 lumber here, furrow which was part of payless cashway, was the close by competition.
Ernie was a joker, and recruited a few friend to attend the chamber open house of the replacement lowes in Bryan. They came equipped with clipboards, pads and surveying tapes, and were measuring and writing them on the pad when a Lowes official asked what they were doing. Ernie told them that according to their preliminary estimate they were going to be able to put over 100 bowling lanes in that location when they bought it after they closed that one. The official told him that would never happen. Of course its still open, and Ernie is gone now but it was fun at the time.
