BJ's Brewhouse grabbing attention ahead of opening

Anyone else noticed how BJ's Brewhouse rises out of the landscape as one drives on from Woodway into Waco on Waco Drive beneath the Highway 6 bridge?

If you haven't, I've provided a photo.

I'm not absolutely certain that architecture met marketing with dramatic effect here, but I've asked a few people who are smarter than me and they insist it was intentional.

Think about it. This intersection of Highway 6 (or Loop 340) and Waco Drive might be the heart of McLennan County. It's almost exactly on top of the crossover from Woodway to Waco and it's a connecting point of the two major highways that run through our town.

And BJ's boldly announces its presence.

I don't know the exact date yet that BJ's will open, but I'll effort that for you in the next week. Last I asked, they were looking at early June. My guess is that when it does open, it's going to be difficult to get a table for a while.
