Cajun/Creole places have had it tough in this town. Hebert's tried. Crazy Cajun's (wow do I miss them) tried.

---

Same for Crazy Cajun and whatever the short-lived place in Wellborn where TX Burger is now located was called.

There was a barbecue place there briefly, too. I forgot about the Cajun place. I've heard it did so well that it overwhelmed the owner.

EDIT: Junek's Barbecue and Grill per 2009 Google street view. I don't remember if Cajun was before or after that.

I miss the fried gator from Crazy Cajuns. Not sure I got much else.

It was afterwards. Junek's was the original tenant there after moving out of the gas station. The current TX Burger is (checks notes) the 6th restaurant in the spot, Cajuns Bayou Grille was the 5th.

Chubby's BBQ was around there somewhere.

If only I could skate!

I liked Chubby's. AC went out.. Economics.

Semiconductor Institute at RELLIS gets more money. Projected opening January 2028.

Any news on the datacenter bankruptcy?

Seriously.

Not that I've seen. But then, I haven't been looking for it.

I was curious because I was told that the same company wanting to do the CS one was supposedly contracted to find a tenant for the RELLIS one.

Curious. I think the data center that was under construction at Rellis was more along the lines of a "standard" data center, rather than one designed for AI or Crypto mining. I seriously doubt RELLIS would want anything to do with the latter two out there, given their noise level etc. I mean, it's right next to a bunch of other buildings with lots of people in them....

From what I understand, Priority Power doesn't just have their hands in crypto and AI. They were a power specialist, who has jumped into the datacenter speculation game that's all the rage.

Crazy Cajuns relocated to College Station partially because the septic system in the existing little building didn't support as many customers as they were getting.

I was good friends with the Petitjeans back then. (Still am, just don't see them since they moved.)

Curious as to what you see as the difference between "standard data center" and AI or Crypto? Also, curious what you think is the source of the noise in a data center that would be different for a AI/Crypto vs "standard"? They all require lots of data connectivity, power (generally including backup power) and cooling.

The configuration of the computers inside would be different, but I would expect that to be supplied by the tenant.

Plenty of applications running on AWS (Amazon Web Services, presumably a "standard data center") need a lot of compute and are "in the cloud" precisely because they can scale the compute quickly to get an answer faster than doing it locally, even with the communication overhead.

So..........

So nothing happened. The experiment was a *success*.
