let's talk about volume 11, instead

i love that place...even when it's raining hard outside and the roof leaks onto the band as they're performing

^I like that place. Been there only twice or so (saw Fareako play one time) but it has a good feel to it.

of course not, for you and I.

but I'm talking about "NCSU Students".

which the person whom i was addressing as being a lazy fuck, is.

as they are part of a larger group that generally cant seem to take their fat asses off campus, and is the reason why Hillsborough st. is full of failed businesses.

NCSU local campus area sucks balls compared to any university of similar size that i've ever seen in my life. Its a reflection of the student population.

Who still lives on campus at 21?

12/17/2010 2:05:41 PM

its a reflection of terrible business choices.

theres like 8 pizza places. no legit nightlife place there thats worth a damn for the little kiddies on campus in the dorms.

you have to remember as well...campus/dorm bound college students arent really the best demographic to put a bar up for thats 21+ since most of those kids are <21.

12/17/2010 2:06:29 PM

move the drinking age back to 18 like it should be and Hillsborough will be alive again

12/17/2010 2:09:14 PM

When I lived on campus, about the only place we would hang out at on Hillsborough was NY Pizza. Other restaurants are too expensive and bars are pointless (21+). Some people would go to the Western Bowling alley of course, which after its renovations is a great place to hang out at, but that's about it. Hell most every undergrad knows what City Limits is not because its location, but because it is open to <21.

Put more <21 clubs on Hillsborough and you will get the nightlife. Till then they will drive or bus to places like City Limits that are closer to downtown.

That's the point I'm trying to make

The NCSU students that are of drinking age live almost exclusively off campus. For them, there's not much reason to head to that end of Hillsborough. Farmhouse ain't exactly a destination bar.

Surely not a result of businesses like a fucking cereal bar

Who wouldn't want to trudge half a mile to eat a $5 bowl of Lucky Charms

12/17/2010 2:12:04 PM

okay.. i got nothing on that.

12/17/2010 2:24:55 PM

Yeah, most of the over 21 students live on Gorman/Tryon/Avent Ferry area south of campus. A few live in the houses behind Hillsborough St but not the majority. Frats are south of campus. If you live in those areas you might as well go downtown because that's where everything happens at night.

95% of businesses on Hillsborough St do their business during the day because there's really no nightlife at all.

Good fucking riddance.

That place is criminal. They have blood on their hands.

I hope the owners and bartenders rot in hell.

12/17/2010 4:50:52 PM

they literally had my blood on their hands... easily could have sued, but i didn't because one of the managers at the time was one of my friends

12/17/2010 4:56:35 PM

I am unaware of this blood incident. Elaborate please?

I used to be a farmhouse regular a couple years ago and I loved the place. I could go there just about any night of the week and find some friends to chill with. Farmhouse was also responsible for introducing me to the only girl I've really ever been in love with. Also, Marc is a good dude.

The worst business model possible unless you're a music venue...and even then, the Brewery's got that market cornered.

mine is that I was jumped by a crack head while playing pool (while I was racking, he came up, grabbed the cue ball, and slammed the side of my head twice with it). Tore off a piece of my ear, and knocked me out. Concussed me so good, I don't remember anything before 5pm that night (this happened close to midnight, so I'm told). The owners/bartenders didn't call the cops, ambulance or anything (friends said I was unconscious for a good 10 minutes). One of the managers (who I knew) ended up driving me home and putting me to bed - something you aren't supposed to let happen to a possible concussion victim. Looking back on it, I should have done something about that, but because ultimately I was alright, and my friend was one of the managers, I ended up not doing anything.

12/18/2010 5:02:18 PM

id still sue.

they had all you could drink busch light/natty light for $5 on saturday nights i think this summer so me and some friends went...a guy named Glenn joined us at one point on the porch and started talking about his farm. he then said the bartenders were telling him he couldn't say nigger on out the patio with the black parishioners and he feel repressed by such an injustice...good times

inb4 cool story, bro

Damn, Biofreak70 , that's fucked up. if that's what you consider a "friend" i'd hate to run in your crowd.

what your "friend" did was just one step short of dumping your unconscious body in front of the entrance to the E.R. actually may have been worse. at least the ER would have given enough of a fuck to have done a full neuro assessment.

you could still have long term repercussions from a brain injury

I'm just saying, if you wanted any semblance of a night life on Hillsborough you need something akin to City Limits. Young on-campus students go there in droves. Not my problem to make it a profitable business venue

12/19/2010 9:18:51 AM

hillsborough street is prime for a 18+ club.

if you ever went to ECU as an under you know what i am talking about. they have an awesome college nightlife. everyone gets drunk at home and then takes a cab or bus to downtown and hits the dance club. those places make a shitload of money on cover charges and EVERYONE GETS LAID
