It's a beautiful photo but it makes me feel old. Literally NONE of those buildings were there when I finished in 1997. LOL. Glad to see the campus growing and looking great.

In 1997 they probably still had neighborhood houses in the middle of campus, right where the clock tower and education buildings are now.

There used to be a dude on the corner of that street who sold bootleg t-shirts.
That where I bought my first Vicious Aggies Wear Black shirt.

"Another Aggie is Watching My Back"
I remember them shirts.
A cat I used to work with lived in one of them houses with his grandparents. A girl I used too mess with rented a room in another. And a lady that used to notarize documents for me live in a third. A whole neighborhood in the middle of a college campus. Hard to believe. I wonder where all those folks are today.

relative to hbcu's, the beauty of our campus is very "under rated". i know i'm biased, but i've been to a lot of other hbcu campuses and few if any are more beautiful than ours. our campus does not get enough credit for its beauty.
now, the most "over rated" hbcu campus is? easily hampton. everybody always seem to praise how beautiful hampton's campus is, i "assume" because of the lake they have on campus. but i've been on hampton's campus a ton of times and its not that attractive to me...

My wife's grandmother owned a house in that neighborhood. Everybody on her street was told to kick rocks once Renick got there. Eminent domain is undefeated.

Hell, where those building are located in my day was a gravel road straddled by a few old houses. The campus is truly a showcase today!

The front of Scott Hall faced that old street and neighborhood heading towards Market. The rear of Scott Hall was on Mitchell Dr. where Cooper Hall, the Union, and ROTC are located.
