A true "Comings and Goings" one I'll always cherish: "Fowl Digits is about to change the face of dining in BCS forever!"

Anyway, Tim Horton's is nice. Cleaner and better service than Mr. Hamburger.

Supposedly Tim Hortons won't open for public business until January 24th? I guess they don't want to deal with the large crowds in town for this Saturday?

They are open. It's the official grand opening that's happening on 1/24. They aren't going to open and then close up again.

Man talk about disappointment. They marketed that thing all over for at least 6 months and then it didn't even last the summer before it was Sully's. We actually liked Fowl Digits the couple times we went there. I have zero insider information, but I always suspected there was more to the story like a trademark infringement or something. However, same could be said about Varsity Grill. Lots of smoke, and then barely makes it a few months. Restauranting is hard

It's very hard. High costs and low margins.

My wife, myself, and much younger son were part of the TV commercial for fowl digits. My 2 seconds of fame.

It's especially hard when you spend more time, energy, and money on marketing than product or service.

I noticed the "for lease" sign is gone from in front of Fuzzy's. Is something moving there or is it just end of the year cleanup of ratty signs?

I saw this today. I don't have personal experience with it. Visible from 2818, between Hwy 21 and Villa Maria.

They did announce they wiki no longer be there. I think they are moving to CS but wherever it is, they haven't announced the location.

I kinda saw this one coming. This past year, we've probably gone 3 times, and every time they were out of something one of us in our party wanted.

We've gone occasionally as well since our youngest likes their shrimp. The main thing we noticed they were out of was customers.

Corporate filed for bankruptcy back in Oct with a plan to close some stores. Hard to see how the local store was ever going to be on this list of stores to keep.

Sad to see any restaurant fail. We would go to Razoo's every couple of months. I did notice that we would be one of very few diners in the place, so I didn't think this location would survive the bankruptcy.

Sad to see staff canned with little to no notice during the holiday season. I hope they land on their feet.

Visit College Station posted about Unreined's plan to open a distillery available for tours and a tasting room in south College Station sometime in mid to late 2026.

Quote:


Unreined Whiskey, the official whiskey of Texas A&M Athletics, is opening a distillery experience in South College Station near Santa's Wonderland. The facility will include a tasting room and private event space.

Unreined Whiskey is planting roots right here in College Station with a full-service rickhouse and visitors center opening in Spring/Summer of 2026. Much like the bourbon housed within, this must-see destination is being hand crafted for tastings, tours, barrel selections and celebrations of any kind along with a 6,200 barrel warehouse where guests can get a live look at the whiskey creation and storage process plus learn more about the brand from the makers themselves. It's a bourbon connoisseur's dream made reality!

Speaking of whiskey, has anyone tried Bakalian Family Distillery in Bryan?

Yes, and the nicest thing I can say about it is well, it certainly is whiskey.

I believe they've already moved from their first location at the Edge General Store. They're off Wheelock Hall Road now, but you can't see it from the road.

Nolen's Formal Apparel on 29th Street is apparently closing for good as the owner has decided to retire. They have a sign on their building and a notice on their website about their closing sale, everything must go. Per the website, they will be open Tuesday and Wednesday from 11:00 AM-3:00 PM for anyone interested in shopping the sale.
Why yes, yes I really do run the best (and only) BCS ICEE Guide!

Harvest has closed at its original location and is moving into the Kimball building (poked my head in, the space looks nice).

Also, College is FINALLY open north of Villa Maria! The two new roundabouts are fully operational!

Will you be giving lessons to local drivers on how to use roundabouts?

The Kimball is very nice. They did a great job on the renovation.

Learned to drive in New England, and have driven in Old England so I'd be happy to for a modest fee.

I wish people would learn how to use their blinkers when exiting the roundabouts
