Leaving the "Art Deco" remnants of the old bridge in to town.

Closing two elementary schools, trying to sell one then remembering that they couldn't sell it because the city owned the land, then having to re-open one like two years later because of completely unforeseen enrollment increases.

People actually voting for Kites as being America's greatest college(?) sports bar, on some random obscure website, and then being really excited that they won their make up contest that only they participated in.

Is this along the lines of this thread? I find the drop box pretty convenient so I'm not sure if I'm correctly making fun of Manhattan.

Aggie Villa luxury condominiums, WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE BILL!

How about those little exercise stations sprinkled throughout CICO? WTF!?

The stoplight at the intersection of 4th St. and Houston always infuriated me. I think they finally recently took it down, though.

Poyntz is a weird spelling for a street.

Yeah it's bizarre, but also really convenient.

I know, I'm going to open a bar in Aggieville that is expensive, crappy and will cater to underage girls. I will also be closed 90% of the time for remodeling. I think I will also name this bar after my dog and install cement floors with drains everywhere so he can sh1t and pee everywhere.

The Manhattan Zoo (really we have zoo? seems strange for a city for our size) has an incredibly old grizzly bear who lives on a crapty concrete slab, but he can't be moved to a nicer area, because he's so used to his crap life, that anything remotely nicer would cause him to die immediately.

Oh MHK

Many years ago when Garth Brooks had his second concert in town, my parents decided they wanted to go to the show and get a room somewhere. Jeffy tried to find one everywhere, but the only thing he could get was the westwood. I think I might have stayed up a little later and drove back to Abilene than stay there, but stay they did. Said it had mirrors on the ceiling.

But, in the event that said bar gets over run by the Bushwackers crowd, you can just close again. Remodel some more and open back up with a smaller bar that has craptier service

Have a coworker who about got shot behind Westwood. True Story.

The invisible speed bumps on all the side streets. WTF!!???!! Also, the fact that some intersections have stop signs, while others have yield signs, while others have no signs at all.

Have always wondered about the Westwood. Place obviously seems like a complete dump, but there are always cars there when I drive by.

30mph speed limit on Claflin, GMAFB. Everyone goes 40 on it anyway. Bump that sh*t up.
