    First time coming by to this little alley. This is no way an attraction or exhibit. It's literally…read morejust an alley full of rusty beer caps that have a strong odor of 115 degree old beer and urine lol. There's probably some history and/or years on making this walkway. I don't recommend that you walk through this alley unless you absolutely have to, like you're being chased by a serial killer or pervert. Oh, and if you do decide to walk through it, please wear shoes otherwise, your chances of getting tetanus is pretty high lol. Don't get me wrong, it's still cool to look at it, but I wouldn't make a special trip out here just for this unless you so happen to be in the area like at the many bars that they have here. Paid parking or limited free parking is available.

    Make sure you have your tetanus shots up to date! Wear closed-toe shoes. This unremarkable alleyway…read morehas been made more special by dumping bottle caps into it. It's kind of a shame, you can tell that the bottles from the bottle caps weren't consumed in this alleyway, since it's kinda dark, with no music. Instead, I believe the beers were all drank in the Dixie Chicken next door. You kinda feel like Scrooge McDuck diving in all the coins when walking through here. You can just imagine the gallons and gallons of beer that have washed through Aggieland. This gives you some perspective on beer. I wouldn't go out of my way to hang out here. San Antonio has La Tuna with the same deal- bottle caps on the ground. Go next door to the Dixie Chicken if you're looking for a good time. They'll even remove the bottle cap from your bottle for you.

    I was in College Station and decided to pay my respects to the individuals lost in the A&M bonfire…read morecollapse by visiting the memorial. This was the first time that I have been to the memorial. It was very touching how each pillar around the circle has information about each of the 12 students that were lost on that day. I felt that I learned more about each individual and it was a touching way to honor them by capturing them as individuals. There was a marker in the center of the circle with the date and time of the bonfire collapse. Coming into the memorial there is quotes and a poem at the entrance and you reach the monument by following a long gravel pathway until you reach the circular portion of the memorial. Overall was a very touching and moving way to pay tribute to those lost in the tragedy.

    This is a beautiful memorial dedicated to the 27 students who were injured and 12 students who lost…read moretheir lives on November 18, 1999. I remember this incident when it occurred all those years ago. It's a very somber experience as you walk up the path to the place where the tragedy happened. There are three parts to this memorial: Tradition Plaza, the History Walk, and the Spirit Ring. Everything about this memorial is very intentional. The number of stones used, the number and positioning of the lights, the position of the portals, etc. all have meaning. I regret not reading the pamphlet before walking through the memorial. I actually wasn't sure if we could or should walk in the middle of the Spirit Ring, but there is a granite marker in the middle that indicates the exact spot of the last Bonfire Centerpole. The intentionality and representation would have been a lot more clear if I had read it when we first arrived. Each portal represents one of the students who perished that night. The portals face the direction of the respective student's hometown. Each portal has a portrait of the student and a written reflection. The majority of the students were only 18 or 19 years old. We toured the memorial later in the afternoon so the lights were barely visible. This memorial is very pretty at night, so I would recommend timing your visit after dusk. There's a parking lot right near the memorial and it's free, however it wasn't clear if a permit was needed. We had no trouble with parking on a Saturday, but double check the signage to be safe.

    I've been to many museums through the years. This was my first visit to a presidential…read moremuseum/library, and it was spectacular. In addition to a 25-minute video production about the life of President George H.W. Bush (during which I shed a tear), there are more artifacts here than you can shake a stick at. The guides are quite friendly and knowledgeable, and they are prepared to answer questions. During my visit, there were several original artifacts on display, including FDR's speech on Dec. 8, 1941, and Elvis Presley's original enlistment documents. But those are traveling exhibits. There is plenty of Bush family memoriblia to quench your thirst for some up-close history.

    I love visiting Presidential Libraries when I happen to be in the area. So far I have visited the…read moreones for Hoover (West Branch, IA), Johnson (Austin, Tx), Nixon (Yorba Linda, CA), Reagan (Simi Valley, CA), Truman (Independence MO), and now George H.W. Bush. I was in College Station over the weekend for a Texas A&M Class of 1980 Reunion, and part of the agenda was paying this place a visit. The George H. W. Bush Presidential Library complex, located on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, includes the Presidential Library and Museum, the Bush School of Government and Public Service, and the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center. My visit included the main Museum, a separate building holding the very cool Union Pacific 4141 Engine and the Marine One Helicopter, and the graves of President Bush, his Wife Barbara, and their Daughter Robin. The later involves a pretty walk around a scenic pond (and rose garden area) and onwards to a gated plot within a quiet woodsy area. If Gayle is reading this, of course I also took a look through the gift shop at the end of my visit. I found the main museum to be nicely curated, in chronological order, and with lots of interesting things to learn and remember. I found that I needed at least a couple passes through to help layer my visit. Of particular note (besides the 4141 and Marine One) were exhibits noting the fall of the Berlin Wall, Camp David, the family boat (Fidelity), and the car that the Bush family drove out to Texas for the first time. There was also a special (and worth visiting) exhibit when I was there Music America: Iconic Objects From America's Music History. Also, please don't miss the 22 minute orientation video when you first start in. I found that it really helped set the stage for what was to come at this museum.

The two ladies that served us were very pleasant and happy to be of service! I was genuinely impressed at how happy these two ladies were to be helping us enjoy our evening of catching up. I must say, every employee I encountered was very pleasant. Working at the BKG & Wine Depot must be enjoyable because you could tell they all genuinely loved their work. I was able to meet the owner; he made sure to greet each guest and make sure they felt welcome; he is nothing short of wonderful! Since it was a chilly night, we only had a few people enjoy the amazing outdoor space they have. I can see that this outdoor space would call to the small group of friends wanting to catch up or the individual that needs to wind down after work and get deeper into that book they have been meaning to spend more time with! While in the area, make a point to stop and get your relax on! You will not be disappointed! Most Sincerely!
