Portillo's has been confirmed at the old Taco Cabana spot, per Rusty's Facebook.
I always roll my eyes at the comments about new businesses on his Facebook posts. These are actually pretty positive but usually its just so much negativity and people that are great at telling other people how they should spend their money and efforts related to opening a business. I did laugh at the person that said oh great another Mexican food place.

And Rusty's comment about legal weed in Texas before BCS get a Pappa's branded restaurant.

If we could just get a Lou Malnatti's / Gino's East, Garrett Popcorn, and White Castle or Krystal, I'd never need to go to Chicago again, and that would be a good thing,

He loves to stir the pot. I also learned about the new blue bell flavor which sounds really yummy.

There is one guy that always comments negative things about A&M and College Station on pretty much every post. His whole personality is hating A&M. Drives me crazy. Just move, dude.

Yes to Garrett popcorn especially since they closed the ones in DFW. I'd even be happy with one in Austin or Houston.

Yeah my dad was a rancher and we'd eat nothing but beef at home. The Luby's fish filet was like eating swordfish…

I hope that this is the right forum for this so here it goes: I am contemplating on writing a letter to Post Oak Mall management regarding several issues with the malls performance. Issues would stem from high vacancy rates, dated infrastructure, especially the exterior, a lack of variety and diversity of stores and entertainment venues and restaurants, and a lack of amenities. The intent of this letter would be just to gather information and a different perspective on what CBL properties wants to do with the mall, I'm not writing this letter to persuade management to spend money, nor to change their business model, I simply want to know where the company stands with the mall and if they have any plans to address the current issues. As the Bryan/College Station area continues to grow and expand and modernize in certain areas why can't the mall also? It is pretty sad how much potential has been wasted on the mall, and of course I hope to see it be revitalized as a premier destination for people that don't want to sweat nor freeze their butts off when shopping haha. I plan on sending this letter to local management first, and if I can't get anywhere with them, then I will send a slightly altered letter to corporate management and strive to receive an answer from the company.

There's good profit to be made as it circles the drain.

I've had it and the mac and cheese ones. Both were really good and reminded me of the real deal so it helped the cravings.
Why yes, yes I really do run the best (and only) BCS ICEE Guide!

Shopping malls like that are a dying breed, I would assume the owners are hoping for someone to come along that wants to buy the property to knock it down and do something else with it.

Looks like At Home about to file Chapter 11.

I don't think I've ever seen the one in CS very busy.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
