Construction begins on first phase of Quiet Zone |
|
If you've driven through Downtown Bryan recently, you may have noticed construction at several of the railroad intersections. Work on the Downtown Quiet Zone is progressing quickly, which means motorists should keep an eye out for construction throughout the area. These improvements are part of the first phase of the Quiet Zone, which ensures railroad crossings are safe and will eventually allow trains to pass through downtown Bryan without blowing their horns. |

Adoptable Pet of the Week |
|
Sarena
2 years old｜Pit bull mix｜Spayed female
I have the sweetest personality. I am super bubbly and love to play! Sometimes I swear I am a lap dog, though. My favorite activity is playing at the dog park. Sometimes I even get to play with friends, but mostly it’s just the hoomans, which is super fun, too. They bring treats and when I do tricks, I get yummy treats! The staff is so much fun, but I can’t wait to have a family to call my own. I would love to have a sibling to roughhouse with in the backyard and keep me company during the day while you are at work. I would prefer to not room with cats, please! There is really only room for one sassy queen and that’s ME!
If you are interested in adopting Sarena, please contact the Bryan Animal Center, at 979.209.5260 to schedule an appointment to visit.

No where to go: In December 1913, the Brazos River experienced its worst flood on record up to that time and it was a disaster in every sense of the word. News reports stated that for a stretch of 100 miles, the Brazos River was between five and 10 miles wide. Across Texas 177 lives were lost. At least three Bryan residents, including Howard Cavitt, owner of the Bryan Motor Car Company, drowned trying to save the lives of others. But it was not the first time the Brazos River had flooded, nor would it be the last. In 1921, another horrific flood would strike the Brazos Valley. The Office of the Texas State Climatologist described that 1921 flood as a result of “probably the greatest rainstorm in Texas history.”
