So I have to spend a few nights in College Station

[Deej 76831]

Taking the dog to the vet school for surgery. Haven't been to that shithole in 25 years. Recs for lodging and restaurants?

[Whatever 700]

Stay in your vehicle and being a cooler full of sandwiches.

[Deej 76831]

That's what I figured.

Wonder how much the vet school prices have been jacked up to cover the stadium renovations and Jimbo's salary?

Didn't ya hear?  With all the profit aggy is making in football, all the local vets are dropping their prices!  

Prayers for your pup.

[Deej 76831]

I'm just worried the vet building will collapse on her.

[George Clooney 378]

I'm not sure about recs. I was there a few months ago, and that place has changed dramatically from when you were last there. I'm sure @Walden Ponderer can give you some suggestions.

[conVINCEd 21469]

Thoughts and prayers, for the dog, and for you having to spend a few nights in that shithole.

[Deej 76831]

If I put SEC stickers all over myself and my car, I should get preferential treatment, no?

[Whatever 700]

sec stickers will help, but not if you have a car. F250 is required there.

[Deej 76831]

Really? I swear every aggy I know drives a Chevy or GMC.

[Whatever 700]

I'm referencing the recruiting thread on "the other site" where aggy claimed we were giving recruits F250s to come to Austin.

[Deej 76831]

I know. I was thinking of driving into town with a gold Trans Am just to trigger them.

[Walden Ponderer 12639]

Fargo's for barbeque, Grub burger bar for burgers, if you have time for a movie, Star Cinema Grill has a great sound system, and everything on the menu is good.

The Republic Steakhouse is good for steak and whiskey, Veritas is the best upscale place (went to a bat mitzvah there last year, and the parents dropped 5 grand on a party for 100 people... Money well spent).

 

Best bar is the Fox and Hound. Rx Pizza in Bryan is legit.

[Walden Ponderer 12639]

Oh, there's also a creperie and an ice cream shop where they freeze the ice cream right in front of you, using liquid nitrogen. Honestly, if you spend most of your time in Century Square (next to "The Green") you won't be wasting your time like you would if you went anywhere else in College Station.

Best Mexican joint is Casa Rodriguez, in Bryan.

[Deej 76831]

Thanks. If you're up for a drink, I'm there from Tuesday to Thursday. My treat.

[RowdyVic 106]

"I'm just here to fuck Jimbo's wife."

She is currently busy with other customers. Please have a seat. There are coffee and refreshments for you while you wait.

rent a u-haul and park it in front of Dillo's house

There's a hotel called The George that is right in the area Walden described.  Stay there.  It's kind of like the Mexican resorts these days.  Stay close to the hotel and you should be OK.

The crepe place he mentioned is legit.

Ramada Inn.  Interesting breakfast, too.

Uh, huh.  I knew they was all homos in collie station.  This just proves it.

[Deej 76831]

Got the info on the vet we are seeing. Looked up on their website and it said "Feline specialist". 

Damnit, aggy. I have a dog. 

[Bernard 879]

Seriously. I'd commute in from somewhere else. Huntsville? Brenham? Somerville?

So it’s probably happening so: 

Rosa’s or Layne’s  for lunch 

Messina Hof for Happy Hour 

Capri or Republic for dinner

There has never been a better time to don your burnt orange in Brazos County than right fucking now.  LOLz.

They are the miserable ones.  Might as well help push them over the edge a little.

I like the cut of your jib.

Looks like I'll be out there for several days for depositions this month. Any other decent food recs?

[NeverMarryAStripper 21907]

I have UT plates on my car and I go there pretty frequently to visit my son, DIL, and grandson.  I'm always kind of shocked when my car doesn't get keyed.

Fargo's for BBQ.  Take cash.

Twin Peaks has a better than average Bourbon selection and COLD beer.  Excellent scenery as well.

Most of the time, I end up at Hooters, though.  

The wife and I once had an excellent meal at Solt, if you're looking for something a bit more elevated.

So you know the one Jewish family in Collie Station? Best upscale place in town for $50/person…LOL

Can’t you ask for the depositions to be relocated somewhere nicer… like Pyongyang or Kabul?

Billable hours, my friend

[Moby Ric 2058]

Let me help out here.  I am in CS more than I like to be but I like money and I have clients there.

Upscale dinning:

Republic for steaks

Solt for fusion

1860 or Amico nave for italian.

Lunch:

3rd and main for burgers salads etc

Fuego for tacos.  Think Torchy's but better

Top of the hill for burgers

Breakfast:

Jesse's.  Best breakfast taco I have ever had.  No kidding

Sweet Paris for crepes etc.

For mexican you are kind of out of luck.  I have tried all of them and they all are marginal at best.

Any other questions let me know. I am sure I missed something, especially places to potentially avoid.

 

[tbone_ 14128]

I’m sure this is a dumb question but do you have to use a vet in CS?
