Starkville looks good

[57stratdawg]

I’ve been rather critical in the past, but it looks like the last 12 months have been productive. The Midtown development looks really nice. That’ll be trendy spot if it can develope some night life.

12 looks decent from campus to Louisville street. That development coming past Newks should really cap off that stretch of town.

Obviously, Russell Street has come along way over the last few years.

Don’t know how much credit the new Mayor deserves, but someone deserves some.

That credit probably belongs to Dan Mullen

 

[57stratdawg]

At least some of it. Dak too.

Bank and government issued students loans deserve part of the credit.

Not sure if what we see is b/c of new mayor, but what she is doing now

Will make it even better. She is competent and gets the big picture, and Starkville will benefit greatly from her leadership

So it’s fair to say it’s not mediocre.

Starkville has been transforming for the last decade. The pace has acellerated over the last five years. It IS a great southern college town NOW. It's only going to get better. I was a student in the early 80s.......it's come a LONG way since then.

Seriously, 12 looks good? Did you try to drive it after 4:00 today? What a cluster ****! I was forced to visit 3 businesses and will honestly say that's the last time

You can always become a Florida fan.
Where are the Chsmpionships?

Could not agree more. Parents were here in the 60s, heard the beer trip stories. I thought to myself tonight, as I had a drink in downtown, Vegas is a destination compared then.

 

[LandArchDawg]

Having a comprehensive plan in place helps, too. If you have a long range vision of where development is going, it just turns out better.

Best in the state!!

Its gotten a lot better, but Hwy 12 is still an eyesore. I'd also like to see that trailer park near campus moved. The one across from the Chick-fil-A on the street that leads into the vet school.

Mid 70's for me. Nothing back then other than the Starkville Cafe.

You mean the RV Park?

 

[57stratdawg]

I’m not saying it should be on postcards, but the asphalt and road signs are new, the Hampton Inn has been painted, the Abners building isn’t just sitting empty. There’s a new Burger King that doesn’t look like Daniel Boone’s birthplace

That stuff adds up.

The shopping center with Harvey’s and the Lodge still look like hell.

Yea I'm pretty sure that is what he is talking about. It looks fine to me. All about perspective I guess.

Just seems like a lot of other places to complain about in starkville other than that RV park.

Cool reply grammar police. Is that how you built up that 56 post count?

 

[Klovis]

I graduated in 08.

Its come a long long way even since then!

In other news I’m about to drink a beer. The thought I’ve been out of college for 10 years just sunk in.

Yeah the revenue generated by MSU sports and alumni has nothing to do with Starkville's improvement.*** Much of the newly developed real estate is owned by out of state people who need a place to stay, or for kid attending to stay.
