This has been working its way through Congress for a while, but a bill was passed on Monday that will bring a new federal courthouse to College Station. This is big for any Brazos and surrounding county residents that have had to drive to Houston for federal court jury duty. There have also been studies about the economic impact from federal courthouses (lawyers and parties in town for trials, jurors in town for service) and it isn't insignificant.

Great news. I remember somebody in the 90s talking about our lack of a federal court here. This has been in the works for a long time.
The left cannot kill the Spirit of Charlie Kirk.

UNICO gas station/Popeyes at the corner of Boonville and the bypass appears to be closed. All of the Popeyes signage is gone.

This is awesome. Because when you get called for Federal Court, you get called for a week!

I don't understand how any of them stay in business. Even thought the food is great when they get it right.

I once saw a group of guys break the moon roof of their truck with a pick axe to get into their locked truck there. Funniest and scariest thing I've seen.
I hope I did not offend anybody with this post. If I did, please come see me at my address in my profile so we can talk.

Of all the sketchy Popeye's with terrible service in this town, the one on Boonville & 6 was the sketchiest and had the worst service.

Agree completely. I'm better off not eating fried chicken these days, but it's a shame that an old favorite can't be trusted around here for cleanliness and good service. You would think that corporate big shots would find some highly capable Aggie business people to take one local franchise and do it the right way.

To clarify, the convenience store is also closed. Shelves are empty, pumps are off, bagged ice freezers gone, dark inside.

That place was a dump. Hopefully it will become something better. It won't take much to meet that mark.

As a former Fort Worthian who has stuffed myself sick at the OG location in Roanoke too many times, Babe's is the bomb and would kill it in B/CS. Don't need all the fancy other mains, just CFS, fried chicken, mashed taters, gravy, corn & biscuits. Let's make it happen!!

Javi's is officially opening Thursday, with a soft opening tonight and Wednesday.

Did Lincoln open today? Or are they having customers enter via the Hyatt hotel parking lot next door?

Lincoln @ University reopened a few hours ago.

There a place similar to Babes next to the CS Hilton. Roosters Country Dinner House. It was not near as good as Babe's and didn't last very long. Closed about 13 years ago.

Only missed the original plan by 13 months. Winning!
