When will they ever start the Bush Wellborn construction? That has been "next project" for 20 years.


According to the project's website, construction is scheduled to start in "late 2027."

Good thing McDonald's and those crummy apartments by Aggieland Outfitters and the Unitarian church all shut down and/or got demolished two years ago so they would be ready to start this project.

Wafflehouses and a 2nd DQ in College Station. A Papadoux would do well...

The leasing page for what was supposed to be the Portillo's location is no longer active on the Oldham Goodwin site. Hopefully that means something is planned for that space.

Speaking of Dairy Queen, I did not realize that there was one in Vegas until last week.

I've seen some activity at the old archery place on South College. Also at the old Albertson's on Texas in Bryan.

There's a Whataburger at Aria / Park MGM. I introduced the fam to In-N-Out when we went last week, and they love it.

Beware DQs outside of Texas. They are *not* the same.

Looking at Reddit, bb.q Chicken across from campus on University Dr has apparently closed. Google says its permanently closed, and the restaurant is dark today.

Redditors say it will be replaced by Taz?? Bah, Reddit rumors!

Did Roni's Mac Bar close? I see the space for lease on Oldham Goodwin, but their website still shows it as open.

They are open today, but bb.q Chicken is apparently now closed permanently.

I blame Austin. I seem to recall it was earlier on the schedule until someone decided TxDot needed to divert every dollar they could spare to rebuilding 35 and pushed every other project in the state back.

Maybe? Taz had a food truck at one point. I've heard they have been looking at a second location. I love them and wish them well!

I believe it's actually Union Pacific holding up the process, which led to TXDOT and BCSMPO delaying when the project. It is briefly mentioned here:

https://wtaw.com/b-cs-mpo-policy-board-approves-txdot-delays-in-two-local-highway-projects/

It's also discussed here: https://bcsmpo.org/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Minutes/_10012025-185

Interesting. Roni's space is listed for lease.

My sister-in-law broke her back playing pickleball. My brother is 69 years old and never had to wear a brace until he started playing pickleball. Now he wears an elbow brace and 2 knee braces.

At least they're active. In my day all the old folks did was walk around the mall.

I thought everyone shifted to Needoh/squishy hunting and reselling?
