Even when there are no games, Baylor's McLane Stadium is a happening spot. Many come to jog, ride bikes, or walk along the wide concreted areas, on the shores of the Brazos River. Stand on top of the Umphrey Bridge as the sun sets for a spectacular view of downtown!

Thousands of visitors flock to Magnolia every week. More than just Magnolia Press, Magnolia Home Store, and beyond. This is an expansion of the Market, and is set up like a small village, with lots of outdoor space to sit, relax and enjoy. Everything is beautifully displayed, but personally I think it is overpriced.
