On Monday, November 19, I met with Jason Schubert with the City of College Station.

These shops were separated from campus by a gate, the north gate.  Northgate has been changing ever since, with improvements every so often. The Northgate that most residents are familiar with came about in the 1970s. Entertainment replaced shops and local businesses.
