Campustown Redevelopment

I'd bet.

For the current Big 12, I've been everywhere (and partied) but OU and Tech for games. I've also either attended a game or just partied in every defector town.

For the Big 10, I've been to games at Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska, but have partied in Madison and Bloomington as well.

Out of that group, Minneapolis and Ft. Worth are major cities that kind of drown their universities out, but are really nice cities. Austin, Madison, and Lincoln are the unique college town/capital/larger city mix and I would rank them in that order. Boulder is in a similar position to those in that it's really connected to a major city and has a bigger time feel.

Waco is a ******* unmitigated dump and has almost no redeeming qualities. The rest are midwest/plains college towns that are more alike than not. They really are kind of a horse a piece in my mind, and I enjoy them all.

Yeah pretty similar view point. Swap your OU for me and Baylor.
I thought A&M was alright, minus the creepy factor. Had a lot of drinks at the Dixie Chicken.
Madison game day is pretty fun but spread out thru the city a little like Austin. Saw them play Bowling Green, students didn't fill their section until second quarter.
Don't know where we're going this year.

Similar thoughts on A&M. Take the cult away, and College Station was similar to Ames, Stillwater, Manhattan. Dixie Chicken felt totally like an Ames bar, and I was in there all night when I went. Even had a disgusting piss soaked bathroom.

Fakes don't work at all in Ames, yet my buddys in Iowa City have no problem getting into a bar. It's not fair.

House parties in Ames are way better than Iowa City though.

Any new bars/restaurants gone into the first floor retail space of all these new apartments going up?

And mattress shops

LEBEDA...LEBEDA...EVERYBODY KNOWS ITS....LEBEDA

 

[mapnerd]

It seems to me that there is a ton of commercial space now. I bet it takes several years to fill them all.

You SOB

 

[Gunnerclone]

You SOB

Feel my pain! I have the “Daddy Finger” song either playing in my head or actually playing 18 hours a day.

Next step: mattress parts stores.

And mattress shops

Don't tell me that the mattress mafia is here in Ames now too?

 

[Al_4_State]

I assume these commercial spaces can become bars?

This is hilarious that Scott Randall thinks this will work. A one lane alley onto Lincoln Way is simply a bad idea; including crossing a sidewalk with tons of pedestrian traffic.

Randall probably doesn't get told No a lot.

Who is Scott Randall? I've heard of Tom Randall.

Is this the site on Lincoln Way in Campustown that seems to be trying to preserve the old building facades? Seems like a pretty cool thing to do. Not unexpected from a developer with local ties. This is the first I have heard about plans for that site.

Scott is a son, and this was on Lincoln way close to downtown.
