Texarkana-Boom Town

[bigboyz05]

How rough of a "sports bar" are you willing to go to?

Uhhh... Darius?? This sounds like something you could probably answer better than I... I don't know what clubs and bars Texarkana has these days.

Me neither since I don't go to clubs or bars but I remember ther is one downtown behind the big post office.

Fat Jack's on State Line is a place I've been a few times. Pretty rough crowd but lots of fun if you know the right people. They had sports on the TV in there and they tout themselves as a sports bar...

I saw the new Kohl's construction in Texarkana this morning. Very nice! I saw the building and wondered what it was. I told my wife that it was probably Kohl's, and sure enough... I drove by the sign and saw where it said that. Your Kohl's store will open before either of ours... both of ours are still 6-12 months away it looks like.

Anyway, we were only in Texarkana for a couple of hours but I had to drive through the Richmond area to see what all is new... and there's quite a bit that is new and lots more "coming soon" signs. Impressive!

One thing I'm REALLY jealous of... you guys have Little Caesar's Pizza again!! Our last L.C. closed about a decade ago and I miss that chain!

Yes, there's a lot going on. My mother knows someone with the Chamber Of Commerce and they told her that a lot more is on the drawing board so these are good times for the city. A lot of growth has taken place north of I-30 on Summerhill Rd. as well. I love Little Caesar's too and I'm really glad they're back! I also like CiCi's Pizza. Do you like them?

[bigboyz05]

Yes, I like CiCi's. When I stopped in at Starbucks in Texarkana yesterday, I noticed they had put a CiCi's in that retail strip. I guess CiCi's is new to Texarkana? You guys have had Pizza Inn for quite a few years now, so CiCi's will provide good competition for them.

Actually we've had Ci Ci's for a while. There's one in the Stateline Crossing Shopping Center that's been there for a few years now.

Yep, that location came to my mind when I was reading over Brian's last post. I know they've been at that location since at least early 2004, as I remember seeing it for the first time around that time.

I just wanted to point out that this thread has more than 10,000 views!! Way to go!!!

Ahhh I forgot all about that one! That's the center at Stateline where Arkansas and Texas meet, right? I forgot there was one in there. I should have remembered, though, because I used to go to the WingStop next door to it literally daily when I was living on Arkansas Blvd.
