Everyone i Know that lives in Oak Ridge owns a camper and a Harley.

Oak Ridge, Summerfield, Stokesdale: All three are where city people move because they want to "live in the country", but yet don't want to be more than 10 minutes from a Target.

10/7/2010 11:30:11 AM

lol

The Cricket, do you live in Fisher Park

True... except Stokesdale. When I was in Stokesdale, I was at least 15 minutes from the nearest store, and it was a Walmart I did like living in Summerfield though.

djeternal spotted at the shitty Roses shopping center on High Point Road????

Is there any kind of ordinance that would prevent thousands of A&T homecomers from taking my street-side parking

10/9/2010 8:59:25 AM

^^ nope, not me. I haven't been over that way in months

^ nope. this is by far the shittiest weekend of the year if you live in Greensboro. especially if you live near the festivities

Oak Ridge has really grown up in the past few years! I hardly recognized it last time I drove through on 68.

10/9/2010 3:35:52 PM

Is there, like, a butterscotch factory on S. Elm-Eugene near 40?

I used to always smell it driving through Greensboro on my way to and from Raleigh and that shit hit me again this morning.

10/12/2010 10:58:40 AM

Yes, it's called the Greensboro Butterscotch Factory

10/12/2010 11:51:58 AM

I thought it was cookies.

so it's butterscotch?

it's Mother Murphy's flavoring factory http://www.mothermurphys.com/

10/12/2010 1:17:05 PM

I was just kidding about the Greensboro Butterscotch Factory

10/12/2010 1:18:09 PM

really? i'm glad you told me because it wasn't obvious.

10/12/2010 1:18:52 PM

it fooled G.O.D

[Edited on October 12, 2010 at 1:19 PM. Reason : a]

yes, it did. and it made me lol

10/12/2010 1:20:37 PM

Mother Murphy's was a customer of mine back in my outside sales days. I used to love making onsite visits to them because it smelled so awesome.

There is also a candy company down in Lexington that was a customer of mine. Same deal

10/12/2010 1:22:39 PM

I used to work at Stockhausen (now called evonick/degussa) which is on S Elm-Eugene and loved it when I could smell Mother Murphy's

sometimes when I'm driving through Death Valley on I-40 I can smell it

10/12/2010 1:25:38 PM

^ no way! I sold for Cintas. We sold your soaps

10/12/2010 1:26:47 PM

awesome! I never had a chance to work in the skincare division. I had 3 summer jobs during HS/college, each in a different department - textiles, absorbent polymers, and purchasing. My dad has worked there for ~20 years and used to bring home a lot of the skincare samples. I always get excited when I'm in a public restroom somewhere and I see that they use Stockhausen soaps!

10/12/2010 1:31:15 PM

Right before I left Cintas we started carrying the foam soap. That shit was THE HEAT! I think I still have a box or 2 of it up in the attic. Now I just need to steal a dispenser from a bathroom next time I see one.

10/12/2010 1:42:02 PM

is that one called Refresh?

10/12/2010 1:47:44 PM

I do believe it was.

10/12/2010 1:48:50 PM

yeah I like that one too

10/12/2010 1:54:51 PM

ha ha, but it does smell yummy.

[Edited on October 12, 2010 at 3:25 PM. Reason : I'm retarded]

10/12/2010 3:32:20 PM

There's an asshole on Lawndale near Target whose house and yard are decked out in Christmas lights

10/14/2010 8:10:13 AM

I actually smelled the butterscotch on 40 last night on my way home from work. That's the first time I have actually noticed it, but it was also the first time I have paid attention.

10/14/2010 10:42:16 AM

It really bugged me for a couple years

Not enough to google, though, I guess

[Edited on October 14, 2010 at 10:51 AM. Reason : and it's always butterscotch]

@ Ernie, no i don't live in FP. I'm not that baller yet. I live in a town home off of Spring Garden. I ride my bike to school everyday in bike lanes.

It's actually a chemical plant. It's owned by a German company that produced warfare poison during WWII. What you are smelling is the same thing the jews smelled right before they were gassed to death.

Butterscotch. Yum

Any good Chinese places near downtown or Fisher Park?

This place http://maps.google.com/maps?q=china's+best&sll=36.0959,-79.816088 is awesome, but they don't take cards and I don't want to go to the ATM

11/8/2010 10:37:28 AM

I'll be back in town once again on the weekend of the 20th...gotta hit up that greensboro toy show @ the coliseum

11/8/2010 10:45:55 AM

The Buffalo's on Battleground used to be a badass Chinese buffet. It actually had several different owners/names before Buffalo's bought it and moved down there, but the food was always exactly the same.

11/8/2010 10:57:03 AM

Good, because I was planning on driving my time machine to lunch

11/8/2010 10:59:14 AM

make sure you have enough road to get it up to 88 MPH

11/8/2010 11:10:32 AM

This morning I saw a woman pushing a full cart of groceries down the left lane of Summit Avenue, probably 2 miles away from the nearest grocery store

Greensboro rules

11/9/2010 4:08:40 PM

there was a sounder of pigs loose near Holden rd. this morning. When I heard that I was like only in NC.

11/9/2010 7:54:50 PM

Got word from my managers at the Ice House a while ago that they are putting an outdoor rink downtown this winter.

[Edited on November 9, 2010 at 9:26 PM. Reason : .]

11/9/2010 9:25:42 PM

^ where are they planning to put it?

Sweet...although if it's anything like the one on Fayetteville St in Raleigh from last year, it'll probably be a mere half-frozen puddle of disappointment...

11/10/2010 11:41:17 AM

oh wait I missed the downtown part.
oh sweet, where downtown? I can probably walk to that shit.

11/10/2010 1:58:47 PM

I saw this scroll across the bottom of the screen on the Fox 8 news this morning, but it didn't say where they plan to put it.

11/11/2010 10:22:53 AM

I'm not exactly sure where they are gonna put it, but I'll ask. I know it's been in the works for a few months now, and that some guy is paying for all the equipment and the Ice House is running it. They bought a sweet lawnmower Zamboni to resurface the ice too.

11/11/2010 10:57:48 AM

It said on the news that it will be open Nov. 20, so you guys better get to work
