What is status of Don Chente?


I see work trucks there but not every day. I think they are making slow but steady progress but I have no idea what the timeline is.

" 1010 S. Texas Avenue where Rockies used to be, but Tejos Super Deal has since closed.
This is not to be confused with actual Amazon Returns centers at Kohl's, UPS Store, and others."
Correct! The place I mentioned gets pallets of returned stuff from Amazon. They buy it from Amazon and then sell it.

According to the TDLR filing, work on Pickleball Kingdom will start on August 1 with a February completion anticipated. The location in the Tejas center is around 50k square feet, which is around the size of the old Academy. I thought that might be the landing spot when the franchise was first announced.

Escalators are fixed. You can go back to Century Square now.

Looks like someone emptied out the Chinese counterfeit junk from the back of an old Ryder truck & set up shop in a strip mall.
So a poor man's Bueno Bins!


That place didn't make it either, right?

This would have worked at Jockey Lot. As a standalone store? I don't think so.

It's evidently a chain. They may roll back our location if little interest but some other cities may fair well. Dunno.


Their Facebook page posted some videos of some of their "deals" and showing the inside of the store. Seems chaotic. Hopefully someone will go on Friday and post a review. Or better yet livestream it for us.

Any word on when Dimassi's will open in Century Square? Looked like there were chairs and such inside when I drove by yesterday so I would assume soon but I can't find anything other than the outdated timelines from last year.

Bryan Midtown or College Station Midtown?

Apparently the Troubadour Festival will be moving from Aggie Park to Bryan's Midtown Park as well (rumor, but a widespread one).

We do not need that college station nonsense in Bryan.

How would the parking for that even work?

Just park at Macy's for a nominal fee, and get shuttled. Gotta make something back on that thing.

Will there be dwarves playing lutes? Please say yes! I know we have them because of the wrestling thing.

Sadly no. But always excited to hear of more festivals and live music in downtown!

Oh. Yeah. Gotcha. I was thinking we were still talking Troubador. I'm on the move today and didn't click the KBTX LINK.

I'm hiding from them like Jack Lemmon's character avoided the IRS in Grumpy Old Men.

Hush and Whisper has had some work being done this week. I haven't been inside, but perhaps prep work for this.

I am okay with this.

I still want the sign,

Have you heard about anything going into the old JoAnn Fabrics? I noticed a crew working there today.

$850,000 to renovate a brand new building! I understand a burger joint is different than a coffee shop, but wow!

The year and a half also seems like a long time. I am wondering if it was input wrong and intended to be 2026.

I would also expect this to mean another location or two will come to BCS.

The listing for the space is no longer active, but not sure what is going in there yet.
