AutoZone is coming to Bryan next to Planet Fitness. If you are old/a historian, this is the old Arden Catalog Showroom and for the first time possibly ever it fills all the space since it closed.

The Beef and Reef food truck is opening a sit down restaurant in the strip where Siam Iyara is. Stopped by today and it didn't appear open yet.

Ardan was where Planet Fitness is located. Former spot of Gatti Land.

What's going in the Conn's space. Couldn't see the sign yesterday.

Btw, looks like a new convenience store gas station at 30 and 175.

I hope it includes significant quality and service improvements over their last several years of business.

Unfortunately, I have pretty low expectations.

I had only been to Casa Rods once in the last 5 years they were open.
That place was great 20 years ago and fell off fast after the original owners passed it on.

TDLR filings were made today for the Texas Independence Park

I think my struggle with Casa Rod is they seemed to blame everyone but themselves. And on all the posts, people told them what was wrong (long waits, food cold/going down hill, etc), and they just kept blaming it on parking. If they don't address their original issues, it sadly will not make it again.

I haven't been following very close. Is this in addition to the potential baseball fields, or were the baseball fields scrapped and this is the result?

This is in the original baseball field location that was scrapped for soil issues. New ball fields were then planned for Veterans, but then that plan was scrapped when the big new baseball development popped up after the data center got shot down.

Long story short, this is in addition and the new baseball fields will be in a different locale

Scrapped in that location, and this is the result. Supposedly baseball fields are still planned out that way, but the private sector is a part of the baseball field opportunity (along with City?) instead of entirely City like it previously was.

Gotcha. I should have clarified that I meant the baseball fields pitched most recently and not the failed soil ones. I couldn't recall where the failed data center fields were pitched (no pun intended).

Yeah, I didn't clarify well. I meant the fields that were recently pitched. I actually completely forgot about the failed soil test fields. Blacked those out of my mind.

Lol I've honestly lost track of all the city's boondoggle attempts.

Are there still fields potentially going in behind Costco where they tried to sneak the datacenter?

Wasn't there an attempt to do a second Mario's (formerly at Northgate) there? Maybe pre-Gatti's?

Two things on the baseball field development, which is being called "The Station."

1) There is an economic economic development agreement involving The Station for discussion on the closed session agenda for tonight's council meeting

2) The Station is going through the process of requesting a zoning change from Industrial to General Commercial in order to develop the project. The paperwork was filed this month and is on the Planning and Zoning agenda for next month.

It appears that there is quite a bit happening behind the scenes for the project, but a lot of that isn't going to be visible or apparent unless you are digging through planning and zoning documents.

While looking at the zoning documents for the new ballpark, I see the site documents for the new CSISD Admin building have been submitted. It is a 81,000 square foot building and will be located on Sebesta, where Pavilion Ave comes into Sebesta. This is right behind all the newer car dealerships just south of Coopers BBQ.

I believe this was part of the bond package passed in 2024.

La Madeleine update:

They are going in the old Piasano's location at Rock Prairie and 6. Their construction permitting indicates remodeling work will start July 1 and be done by September.

Yes, I think the parking lot needs to be extended there for sure.
