Crazy that AI says that CS inspections and codes are onerous.

I've seen people on here say "CS is no different than any other city when it comes to new businesses."

As someone who has delt with several municipalities including CS, they may not be the worst, but they're certainly up there for a city of their size.

That's 1 million kinds of whack! We deal with both cities daily, and that statement is so far from reality it can't even be called fiction. In my last gig before I opened Elite Electric 17 years ago, I was VP of a company that had 880 employees and worked all over the state and we never crossed paths with a tougher to deal with municipality. I'll admit we didn't work behind the orange curtain so maybe those weirdos are worse. Outside of that possibility I do not see how anyone could make or defend that statement, unless they are just being willfully ignorant.

1. They were arguing on here just to be arguing and
2. They have never run a business.

This will be a big loss. I get it though. Their health hasn't been great the last few years.

My late father in law was a local architect and real estate developer. He told me that he'd rather build 10 projects in Bryan versus one in CS, because the one named city was amenable and easy to work with. The two named city, not so much.

Can you return empty Costco propane bottles after using them?


Can you not swap them out like at every other place? Or are Costco tanks different?

Welp. I guess I'll be getting Burger House a few days over the next two weeks.

This is a sad one.

A Brazos Valley Schools Credit Union is going to be built at 1726 Harvey Mitchell Pkwy S. I am not sure if that is part of the Jones Crossing property or if it is just northeast of it.

Probably replacing the Longmire branch located a couple miles away.

Mai Shan Yun is open in the former IHOP on University.

https://www.maishanyun.com

KBTX story says the owner is a Bama grad who opened the restaurant with his parents. Looks to be a fusion of Chinese and Korean.

Old people love pickleball, and there are more of them every day. Not a surprise at all really.

The first time I ever heard of pickleball was when my now adult children were telling me what games they played at school and summer camp.

Didn't know it was a real 'sport' until I traveled to Kansas City, MO about 7 years ago and drove by a Chicken N Pickle.

No, because I went to Blinn in Brenham, the OG Blinn campus. Same campus my Dad attended in the Fall of 1954.

Didn't get a good look at it but in the parking lot on 29th where Wokamole was there is a BBQ food truck with a "coming soon" sign on it.

That's Hartt BBQ. They've done catering the past few years and are moving into the Wokamole spot.

If it's a food truck and it's parked there shouldn't it say "already here"?
