Not sure if it's a "coming" but Easterwood is adding a 2 pm flight to DFW to their schedule, I think as of now.

There has to be a new "coming" if there is a new "going" ……

Yep. It's been closed for a few weeks. Shiner just recently. Those in the northgate scene have known atleast 3-4 weeks about this happening….

It was Foundation Lounge. I think it was probably there for a good 12 years.

Some enterprising person should rip all that wood off and restore the Campus Theater to its former glory.

Got a text that someone (co-owner?) at Pride Cleaners has renamed the Bryan location King Street Cleaners, and says other locations will be opening soon too. Exact wording was "breaking with the Pride Cleaners name" so dunno what that's all about.

From their fb

To all of our customers we just wanted to clarify Pride Cleaners in College Station is still owned by myself and my husband Will Simmen. We sold the Bryan location a few years ago and they are now undergoing a name change and are not affiliated with our brand anymore. College Station location is still originally owned and operated and we look forward to taking care of you like we have been since 1994!

Sincerely,

Will '86 & Heather Simmen '97

"I am reaching out to let you know that due to your continued support, we have been able to acquire new locations and expand our service area!

As part of this growth, I have made the decision to break with the Pride Cleaners name and franchise, and rebrand our business to King Street Cleaners.

We have the same ownership and the same team, so your service and experience will be identical to what you have come to expect from us."

Here's the majority of the text copied and pasted. The new owner has had the 29th location for over a year now. Sounds like he's just expanding and changing from the Pride name. The owner is a good dude, I've spoke with him a few times since he bought the 29th location.

They sent a follow up text.

"For clarification:

This change only affects the location in Bryan, TX off East 29th. This does not affect the Pride Cleaners in College Station off of Harvey Mitchell Pkwy, which is still owned and operated by the original owners.

Our historic location on East 29th in Bryan will continue to serve as our flagship location! We also now have locations at:

3954 Texas 6 Frontage Rd, College Station, TX 77845

518 E Washington Ave, Navasota, TX 77868

These two locations were a part of Hallmark Cleaners, which we have purchased. They will be rebranded King Street Cleaners over the next few weeks. Rest assured, it is me and staff operating them!

I apologize for any confusion. We look forward to serving you!"

Ok.

Foundies was Foundation Room/Foundation Lounge (I'm not sure if "Foundies" was what they changed to officially, but it was a nickname for it). It was at 108 College Main, previous home of Dead Lazlo's Coffee Pub in the mid-1990s.

Would be nice, if nothing else remove the rooftop area. Always looked sort of unstable anyway.

For the record, I know the rooftop is stable because I'm the one who did it lol. When we owned Daisy Dukes we added it and I hired Gessner Engineering to submit approved plans through the city. It's stabilized by steel.

How long before that section gets bought up and replaced with a 38 story apartment complex?
Costa and Andreas
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I would say quite a while. Every property has different owners, with different tenants with different lease terms. Deals would have to be struck with both the lessees and lessors for a lot of $. Mathematically the chances are slim at least at this juncture.

Are you the ones who covered up the cool art deco building with old wood?
Costa and Andreas
How long do you want to ignore this user?
No lol that would be the guy who bought it at that time, Don Ganter. Makes sense right? He did it when doing Shadow Canyon.

I simply can't believe that Don Ganter would make anything look trashy and redneck-ey….

Are there any plans for the CapRock Hospital in Bryan or the ER in College Station? What could they become? I would think someone like Scott and White would buy the Hospital.

That wouldn't make any sense. Do you know how many $ a SF they spent on their campus on RP? But I'm pretty sure something is coming to the Fitch location. It won't be BSW.
