The comments in the article also mention some gang related problems at the schools. I've noted a number of arrests over the past two to three years for harder drugs such as PCP, meth and ecstasy in the Bryan/College Station area. One of my friends that lives there has advised me that College Station remains okay, but to stay out of Bryan as much as possible. The last few times that I was there in 2012 and 2013 to catch Greyhound buses the area looked very seedy compared to when I used to drive through about a decade earlier.

Hello freshwest, TexasTowelie Aug 2014 #6

Yes, I noted that in the title. TexasTowelie Jul 2014 #5
