Best for Businesses and Careers: College Station, TX
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010College Station Named One of the Best
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010In a town named after our beloved university, it’s not much of a surprise that College Station has once again been named as a top college town. This time, it comes in at #4 on the Bleacher Report’s List of Top Pre and Post Game College Towns.
“Home of Texas A&M Aggies, the city of College Station holds the rare distinction of being in existence, and being named because of a university.
So mind what you say about their Aggies, it is awfully personal if you belittle the town, people, or their school.
Otherwise if you want the experience of a citywide family reunion with all the fixings, then drop on down.
Surprise, surprise, surprise, you’ll find a fine little winery and resort of the same name. Messina Winery and Resort hosts a nice place to get away from some of the town bustle, and you can enjoy a glass of Riesling or Shiraz while drinking in the vine laden scenery.
If wine isn’t your thing, there is a chili cook-off everywhere you look and just about everybody is going to want your opinion. So bring your manners and an empty stomach and enjoy a lot of surprises that you wouldn’t typically expect in a place called College Station.
Oh boy, almost forgot Tex-Mex again, and plenty of BBQ. You know…after all those museums and stuff, and football, most importantly.”
