Downtown Waco is a dump.

you clearly haven't been in like 15-years . It used to be 100x worse than it is now.

Regardless, the Magnolia thing is horrible down there. Just know that there's no parking and it's an absolute shite show. I don't remember the last time I went downtown during the day on a weekend. It would be an absolute time vampire.

but I certainly wouldn't make a special trip to Waco for Magnolia and cupcakes.

I feel the exact same way, but I grew up in China Spring for 18-years before moving 15 miles down the road to Baylor campus. But for whatever reason, people come from literally freaking everywhere to see that stupid arse place.

ETA: If you're looking for other crap to do in Waco you can always go to the Texas Ranger Museum, Texas Sports Hall of Fame or that Mammoth dig site.

For food, I'd recommend Dubl-R (close at 2 on Saturday, closed on Sunday, close at 6:30 on weekdays) or Health Camp for a burger. Neither are all that far off from I-35.
