Aggies, let's take a trip down memory lane.

Maybe it was:
  • A favorite restaurant
  • A legendary bar
  • A live music venue
  • A coffee shop
  • A game day tradition spot
Whether it was Hall of Fame, Shadow Canyon, Graham Central Station, Cow Hop, or somewhere else, we'd love to hear your memories.

At Hudson Oaks, we get to hear stories like these every day from residents who have watched Aggieland grow and change through the years. It's one of the things that makes our community special.

As a summer move-in special, we're currently offering ONE MONTH FREE RENT on select apartments.

So Aggies, what's the one place you wish was still around?
Share your favorite Aggieland memory in the comments.

Not that old, but we had lots of good memories at Fox and Hound.

This

Was so disappointed when a couple of yrs ago we came up to tour Zachary w/ my son. Went to the MSC expecting a good meal. All that was open was Chik Fil A...

The food on campus has definitely taken a turn for the worse. Haven't been to Duncan, but Sbisa and Commons now totally suck.

Food was good when I was there. I also remember going to Sbisa for Thanksgiving dinner after the tu game in 2011. After that miserable game, turkey dinner was excellent.

I forget what it's called but there's a good place to eat at the top of rudder. It's not fancy but sounds like you might like it.

lol at no one mentioning Tom's.

I'll add both the original Cafe Eccel and the Taqueria.

Edit: my bad, Tom's was mentioned. But not Pop's!

I'm surprised there are no votes for the Padre Cafe. Honestly, I liked their chicken fried steak.
