Art Step in Downtown Bryan, Texas on June 4 - 05/31/10 11:32 AM

Art Step is coming up this weekend in Downtown Bryan, and it's already getting some good publicity on facebook and twitter. This year, we are celebrating the 5th anniversary of Art Step.
Most locals already know about First Friday in Downtown Bryan. Art Step is bigger, with more of an emphasis on the arts. I also saw this morning that the Brazos Valley Farmers Market is going to set up in the church parking lot across the street from The Village and Downtown Uncorked.

Training with the Social Media Toolbox - 05/19/10 02:28 PM

 
Good afternoon,
I spent my morning leading a Social Media Best Practices class for a large state agency headquartered here in the Brazos Valley. The agency is unique, with several distinctly different divisions, each with their own competitive client base. It was a good time.
My emphasis today was on owning a toolkit, with several different tools (platforms) in the kit. Different businesses will use these tools in different ways. Twitter is a perfect platform for some businesses. For others it may be lost time. By having all the platforms in the kit, or at least a working knowledge … (1 comments)

Condominiums - Reasonable Housing for Texas Aggies - 05/19/10 01:12 PM

Hi everyone,
Every year we have an internal meeting to review the best properties for folks who are limited to $120,000 or less. One property type I always watch for is something around $100,000 that I would feel comfortable putting my mother or child in. In houses, those are few and far between, although we usually score a couple every summer. The real answer lies in condos.
There are currently several complexes in Bryan and College Station priced at $100k or less. Most were built in the early 1980's and some are showing some wear. The best of them anticipated … (1 comments)

Dear readers,
The economic impact of Texas A&M and other local members of the Texas A&M University System expanded by almost $250 million in 2009, climbing to surpass $3.5 billion annually, according to Texas A&M's Division of Finance.
