I heard that we are geting a Hotters here. I also heard that Papa's Burgers was going to go into the Red Lobster location and Red Lobster was looking for a new location. Mabe they will come to Bryan, though I don't think that will happen.
TGI Friday's should locate in Bryan since we don't have one.
I think that downtown Bryan could use some namebrand retail. But in my opinion I do not like downtown Bryan, it has always given me a bad vibe. If you think about it there is nothing there and the ammediate sourroundings are slums.
First off, it's really cool to hear about development and things that are going on with BCS. The area has really grown since I was there and left.
When I was going to A&M, I lived in Bryan for a few years, 01 to 03. I enjoyed it and liked the charm that Bryan had. Your assertion that the solution to everything lies with chain stores is wrong. Sure, it helps to increase the tax base, but you have to give those businesses a reason to come in the first place. Bryan is only now starting to show signs of forward thinking. So we'll see what happens. It's not College Station's fault that they provide a more attractive location for businesses. Change your attitude, and other Bryanites as well, and maybe things will take a turn for the better. But please shut up already with the whining. Oh, and I can guarantee that Hooters will not be coming to Bryan. It'll end up being in College Station or not at all. Why the hell would they put it in Bryan?
