SoCo at 32nd And Main

BRYAN, TX -- The eclectic South Congress (SoCo)shopping district has come to 32nd Street and South Main in Bryan!! Vintage Rose held its grand opening July 24th. Proprietress Rosemary Rodriguez can boast the most pollos (that's chickens for you gringos) under one roof in the Brazos Valley. She's collected great Mid-Century furniture, retro clothing, and other fun decor. Down the street there are the BV Decorative Center at 401 S Main, Earth Art at 209 S Main, Southern Grace Antiques at 102 S Main, and waaaay too many more great stops to mention. Really you need to go get in your car and shop it! We're talking about a 15 minute trip downtown as opposed to 2 hours to Austin or 9 hours to New Orleans. Get the full SoCo experience when you attend a First Friday (one coming up this Friday August 6th). Sometimes I even pick up a New Orleans vibe, as I walk down the street with others, smelling the great food, hearing the music pouring out from Stafford Main or Revolution Cafe. Who would have thought the City of Bryan would draw this funky urban artsy crowd?!? (more...)| Discussion: 1 Comment »

Being a Daddy's girl, Sunday afternoons in the fall were always spent with her father watching the great Cowboys teams of the late '70's, '80's and '90's. Now, even though she is grown and has children of her own, everyone knows to leave Mommy alone when the Cowboys are playing. In fact, she is passing her love of sports, especially football, onto our kids! While not a winning effort, tonight's preseason game started the last season of Cowboys football to be played in venerable Texas Stadium. After this season, the Cowboys will make their home in a new stadium, currently under construction in Arlington, Texas. The new stadium will have some design features that carry over from the old stadium, including (more...)| Discussion: 2 Comments »
