Did TCU acquire the old Goodwill Store at 3124 Townsend?

I'm not real sure, but that is almost in my back yard. I live just a few blocks away.

Wow! Lots to digest. But the headline is TCU is pursuing enrollment around 17.5k (15k undergrads!) with over 10k beds on campus (its about 5k at present).
Missed the enrollment figure. Did it say timing on that? Also, why not expand grad student enrollment more? Is there a reason they haven't grown grad #s more aggressively?

What drivers must do and what they actually do are two totally different things. This city, in general, does not stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. And it's because it's not enforced.
https://www.google.c...05409&entry=ttu
This is a very busy street from where I am from, and it is one of the easiest to cross. It's because the law is actually enforced and you will get a ticket if you don't stop for people in a crosswalk when it is reasonable for you to do so.
I went to college in Florida, and had friends from home visit me one time. I had to stop them from walking across the street and getting hit by a car because they are so used to cars stopping when a person enters a crosswalk. The law was enforced there as much as it is here.
In my opinion, the city does not enforce traffic laws anywhere near as much as it used. It used to be relatively common for me to see speed enforcement on I-30 and it seems like I haven't seen them in years. It was interesting to see the one cop standing on the Hulen St. overpass with the radar gun radioing to the 4 or 5 other motorcycle cops just on the other side to catch the people speeding by.
I was driving down Berry St the other day and watched a TCU police vehicle drive right on past someone standing in a crosswalk waiting to cross. When the police don't even stop for pedestrians, especially the campus police, you know we don't have a culture that focuses on the pedestrian.

That's infuriating. Enforcement is important. So is frequent reminders of the law. Many people grew up in and learned to drive in places where pedestrians were rare, so I assume yielding to pedestrians wasn't front of mind when they learned to drive.
This is something that should be part of TCU orientation (teach the incoming students - both as pedestrians and as drivers) and 100% to TCU cops. An ongoing public info campaign would help too - will take years but is super important.

Sounds like major work to South University through campus this summer: https://www.tcu.edu/...rsity-drive.php
A few facilities items in the Spring Board agenda outline: Master Plan, a Sesquicentennial Plaza, and an unnamed Private Partnership Development. The first and third are quite interesting. https://www.tcu.edu/...spring-2024.doc
Im just now noticing the Sesquicentennial Plaza project you mentioned:

Site A corresponds to the land underlying #s 8/9
Site C #s 3/4 [4 looks like the green-lit garage/police HQ]
Site D # 5 [spitballing, but given location, I bet this is grad housing in anticipation of leveling current grad/Brite housing to make way for #s 11, 12 and adjacent green space)
Site E #s 13/15 (the partner mixed use development)

TCU doesn't yet own the Kubes building or much of the King's Liqour block, according to TAD.

They seem to be making pretty good progress buying property in the area:

Assuming this is a new TCU real estate acquisition group.

Looks like the Brown-Lupton University Union is getting a Starbucks. https://aca-prod.acc...&agencyCode=CFW
Thats funny, I saw that listed on another filing or a temp filing a few weeks ago that didnt have the detailed description, just SB, and had guessed storage building or something far less exciting than Starbucks.

Yes, that's surprising since store proximity is always a concern with Starbucks.

The BLUU location isn't even the closest to the bookstore! There's a Starbucks location in Kroger across Berry. There's several other Starbucks pairs that are even closer than the two TCU locations inside 820. However, all but the Camp Bowie locations are either within another facility like a grocery or hospital.
Measured "as the crow flies" from entrance to entrance, I get the following,
-BLUU to Bookstore: 1,800'
-Montgomery Plaza to Target: 1,600'
-Camp Bowie and Westridge to Camp Bowie and Littlepage: 1,300' (there's a third a in the Tom Thumb, making 3 locations within just over a half mile)
-8th and Rosedale to Baylor All Saints: 1,200'
-8th and Rosedale to Cook Children's: 1,200'
-West 7th Tom Thumb to Montgomery Plaza: 600'
-TCU Bookstore to Berry St Kroger: 600'
-Hulen and Glenwood to Hulen Tom Thumb: 420'

So all of TCU's new buildings will be purple?!? I'm outraged.

I haven't seen many still images, but TCU opened the new East Campus dining hall (Gutierrez Hall, and what they're calling "East End Dining"). They've shared some social media videos:

A nice but little different indoor look for TCU. Would be interested to see video of the lawn and new residence halls.

I will agree that it is a completely different look for the interior, compared to the rest of the campus.
