There's pizza I like better in Raleigh, but it's pretty damn good.

They do good business...always have. I like their food.

Yeah I thought of it...forgot to list it.

Cup A Joe will never die.

10/17/2018 4:09:20 PM

I like OG Ruckus fine, I think it's just because I live near Ruckus Cary and that place is like Diet Hell to me.

10/17/2018 4:14:10 PM

Oh shit. Amedeo's

10/17/2018 4:22:36 PM

^ that place never did it for me food-wise, but that bar area in the back seems like a great place to watch a game.

Goddamn, I was just thinking about old school Golden Dragon the other day. Their General Tso's was unique and delicious and practically free.

East Village survives, it seems. I don't know if it counts as a staple - I never loved it, but a lot of my friends did, so I assumed it was popular.

^ I heard that block is eventually going to be bulldozed, but they were going to establish EV on the bottom floor of whatever they build? It was just a rumor though.

10/18/2018 7:44:10 AM

I've heard that too, though not about EV re-establishing.

10/18/2018 8:57:59 AM

I ate so much Golden Dragon.

Shanghai Express was bullshit.

What was the name of the music venue in the parking lots off hillsborogh? Near Pizzamerica and UT.

What about Mission Valley cinema? I remember paying $5 flat with a student ID regularly there.

10/18/2018 9:53:20 AM

Still there and going strong. They serve beer now. I haven't been in ages but it is still kicking.

Not sure about the music venue, but there is a huge building now in front of UT, complete with a CVS on the ground floor.

The Brewery?

10/18/2018 10:07:17 AM

^^ All i can think of were Farmhouse and Pantana Bob's

10/18/2018 10:11:52 AM

Yes, brewery, it was there since the early 80s, closed around 2010.

they’ve served beer for a decade now, ha

10/18/2018 10:32:57 AM

Yep The Brewery was it.

Bummer it closed.

10/18/2018 12:16:42 PM

Readers Corner is still there, right?

I remember that place when I was a kid.

10/18/2018 4:46:26 PM

Readers Corner and Nice Price are both alive, now featuring roundabouts.

10/19/2018 10:12:42 AM

I think the only time in my life I ate somewhere with a C sanitation rating, would never do that now

10/20/2018 7:54:44 PM

^I remember eating Gumby's from the old building just before it got condemned rolling the C health code rating. Still not quite the same flavor on pokey stix at the new place. Still good but lacking the terroir of rat dander and roach shit from the old place

10/22/2018 3:49:46 PM

When did Raleigh start the sanitation grades?

10/22/2018 4:24:38 PM

PackBackers
Hillsborough Street Textbooks
Addam’s

10/22/2018 10:19:17 PM

I just learned that El Rodeo closed / moved.

I think they're under a different name now (slice of NY?) and definitely new mgmt. due to the shady money laundering shit they had going on.

the old owner's daughter was legit tho.

Too bad they treat their employees really poorly. I've heard some stories, none of them good.

I remember Pizzamerica was shady and pretty bad. They had this one special that was like, a personal pizza and an order of mozz sticks for 7 bucks or something. Constipation city.

thankfully the ethiopian place in mission valley will never close

10/25/2018 8:49:09 PM

I used to work at the record exchange. That Ethiopian place was nice to have there.
