I am currently here.
Here's another shot of A&M. The two main buildings of note are the administration building at the end of the two lane street coming out of the bottom of the picture, and the Academic Building, which is the one with the big dome at the very left, middle edge of the picture. And of course the Welcome to Aggieland water tower.:
Here's one of the local, popular parks. It's a lot bigger than this but the pond is the main feature. Research Park:
This is a map of my personal favorite park, Lick Creek Park. Note the waste water treatment plant
. It's actually remarkably well hidden and you have to follow a rut in the dirt quite a ways to get there:
On nice days I'd love to be there instead of cooped up in a building all day, but here is where I spend 90% of my time:
The bar scene in town LOL. The Dixie Chicken is THE place to go:
Hell yah it is!
One of my favorite parts of the Bird, which y'all can see in the picture Laur posted, is Bottle Cap Alley, which is the little alley off to the right there (can't see it in the picture). it is completely carpeted in beer bottle caps and that's where the fish corps members go to make their Fish Spurs, which they wear....the week before we play Texas Tech, I believe. And if we lose, they have to wear them the week after. Started with SMU, but we don't play them any more.
There's a remarkable amount of history crammed into Aggieland.
Always amazes me all the big cities. Most countries have one big BIG city and that's the capital, but in the US there are literally hundreds of massive cities.
What do you consider massive? What population level?
Rural Mount -- on the National Registry of Historic Homes. Supposedly the inside is quite nice.
It...it has a tree growing out its window!!
