Sweet tea is very easy to make. How can you "miss" sweat tea? I hope you're not missing cooked pasta.

Hahah. I remember going through there every weekend on the way to St. Louis with my mom. I wasnt scared at the tiime since I didnt know any better

In-Di-ana born and raised.

I drove through East St. Louis en route to KC... and I was like... oh my God... is this what the mid west is like?

I do make sweet tea... but I miss the ability to get it at any restaurant. In NC, you can get it at a mexican restaurant, chinese, italian, anything... here, you get it nowhere. They look at you like you're an idiot when you ask for it.

8/10/2005 10:24:58 AM

^i agree, making it at home is not the same as being able to get it at any restaurant at any time

8/10/2005 10:32:10 AM

True, and while they do have some decent beef barbecue (albeit not NC barbecue, and most places baked beans were terrible), barbecue without sweet tea is just wrong.

8/10/2005 10:44:56 AM

Absolutely. I really don't understand why sweet tea isn't everywhere. It's cheap, it's good... I just don't understand it.

8/10/2005 11:27:38 AM

I agree completely with abonorio. Yeah, MathFreak, it's very easy to make sweet tea yourself. But it's nice to sit down at any restaurant and not be looked down upon for asking for sweet tea. It's the southern hospitality I miss the most actually.

8/10/2005 12:30:19 PM

anybody know any good restaurants/bars/shit to do in St. Louis

when i visited i went to the arch/cards game/the lacledes landing (sp?)/carmines for steak/and the big ass bar by the stadium, also stopped by a riverboat casino

any other tips would be great!

8/10/2005 5:19:59 PM

bump....this thread is dippin too far below the g-spot thread

8/11/2005 10:03:51 AM

^^ Not really explored st. louis much. I saw the arch... I suppose you could swim in the mississippi...

8/11/2005 10:14:33 AM

looked a bit dirty for that, i saw the arch as well, but it was a 2 hour wait to get up that bitch

8/11/2005 10:25:03 AM

The missouri river separates Kansas City into two, as well as the state line for Kansas/Missouri.

That is the dirtiest shit I've ever seen. I would thirst to death before taking a gulp of that.

8/11/2005 10:27:04 AM

i think the mississippi it the worst though, its SMELLS horrible

8/12/2005 1:54:12 AM

freak st louis, go to a real city, like chicago

true but misleading...wayne county(detroit metro) comes out to about 51% white, and the average salary jumps quite a bit

8/13/2005 2:50:43 PM

So this weekend in KC, it was like 65 - 70 degrees... someone tell me that it's cooled off for the year here...

I don't know what I'll do if that's the case... that was the shortest summer ever...

8/14/2005 9:22:39 PM

It was hot as shit when i pulled into st. louis saturday, but now it has cooled down with the rain and shit, hopefully it stays in the 70's and 80's for at least a few more weeks

8/15/2005 9:48:01 AM

How you like the smell of the mississippi so far?

8/15/2005 11:30:20 AM

heck yeah, found sweet tea in indiana yesterday. they sell it at the campus chick-fil-a.

[Edited on September 1, 2005 at 3:42 AM. Reason : but damn, i've gotten used to unsweet by now]

9/1/2005 3:41:45 AM

My dept. went to Jason's Deli for lunch yesterday, and I was happy because they are one of the few places in Denver that has decent sweet tea. I tasted their "sweet tea" and it was nasty as shit. I poured it out and told my co-workers that it sucked. My manager got all snotty and said to everyone else "she's just not used to Colorado sweet tea." WHAT THE HELL IS COLORADO SWEET TEA????? Unsweet with a sugar packet poured into it?

</bitch>

9/1/2005 10:13:43 AM

no sweet tea in st louis thus far

mississippi smells like shit

9/1/2005 10:30:01 AM

They have sweet tea at the arby's in Kansas City and surprisingly, it's drinkable.

I do drink unsweetened tea alot and that led me to start drinking black coffee as well.

I miss my sugar calories...

9/1/2005 11:23:11 AM

working in chicago for the time being - at least another month i'd guess - but other than that i'll be in st. louis working for the rest of the year

9/1/2005 11:34:51 AM

^ hey what part are you in?

I'm up north.

9/1/2005 12:44:32 PM

i work in schaumburg / hoffman estates area - staying in rosemont this weekend and work is flying the gf up so we can sightsee and do the tourist stuff - i'm open to any recommendations

You're stronger than me, I don't think I can do that without puking.

certainly nothing to see in rosemont!

9/1/2005 11:26:46 PM

haha - rode the blue to downtown - hopped on the green to the science and industry museum but the fucking tickets for the body world exhibit were sold out - still a fun place - rode the green back to downtown and checked it out - now back at the hotel and heading down to wrigleyville for dinner/bars

9/2/2005 8:03:37 PM

sucks being in the midwest on NC State gameday

9/4/2005 11:57:46 AM

sucks ass... but at least it's being broadcast nationally

9/4/2005 3:48:33 PM

true^

9/4/2005 3:50:41 PM

I just know that Raleigh is hummin along... the bojangles line is out the door... they even set up that tent outside for tailgate specials... the red flags are hanging out of people's cars... the excitement when you're pulling into the gravel lots... the smell of pig, chicken, burgers, and beer... man I really wish I were there.

9/4/2005 3:56:02 PM

yeah, i close my eyes and can smell the tailgate, its a perfect mixture of: grass, sun, beer, liquor, grilled meat, and charcoal

9/4/2005 4:09:25 PM

We're torturing ourselves Miami... I actually had tickets to the game, was about to book my flight, then my company says, "oh, you gotta work this weekend." I was like wtf... fine. They tell me friday, "ahh, go ahead and take it off."







bastards.

9/4/2005 4:20:25 PM

^ i would have been livid

i flew home from miami for two wolfpack games last year, and saw them in tally the year before

i am going to the clemson v. miami game in a few weeks, and will probably follow the pack to thier bowl game, but not sure if i will make any home games

i was also looking into a trip to boston for the BC game, will be an easy ticket to get, but i am gonna wait and see if i can get a cheap flight

9/4/2005 4:23:52 PM

^WolfMiami, what are you doing in St. Louis? I lived there for 3 years...just moved back to NC.

9/4/2005 5:54:35 PM

Law school

9/4/2005 5:57:28 PM

I got a 154 on the LSAT... I'm applying for fall 06... i really don't feel like taking that test again... you think I'd get in somewhere? I got a 3.5 gpa in engineering from state.

9/4/2005 6:44:57 PM

i got a 154 twice, and i got accepted by the bottom 3 of my list of 7. i wasn't very happy with that, but i'm not going to go through the LSAT again, at least not for 5 more years when my old scores no longer exist.

[Edited on September 5, 2005 at 2:31 AM. Reason : forgot ... i had a 3.8 gpa undergrad at State]

i recomend you take it again abonorio, the competition is extremely tight now for law schools, they are doubling and tripling their applicant pools every year,

but that all depends on where you want to go

9/5/2005 11:28:23 AM

^^^^really? I just graduated from Wash U Law in May.



[Edited on September 5, 2005 at 12:14 PM. Reason : ]

9/5/2005 12:13:05 PM

I'd rather take an anal exam than take that test again... I want to go to Ole Miss (where the median score is 153)... I think I have a shot there and it's actually my first choice (well, my realistic first choice... I would love to go to UVA... but I don't think that's happening with a 154).

9/5/2005 4:21:27 PM

good luck, got only a few points higher than you, and if i had to do it all over again i wish i had another crack at that damn test, but i looked at all those averages as well and got a little overconfident, did not get in exactly where i expected to

good luck with old miss, that is a beautiful campus

9/5/2005 5:38:36 PM

I got a 167 (or 8 -- can't remember off hand) and got DENIED at UNC but got into Northeastern (my 2nd choice).. I only had a 2.9 GPA though

I'm applying to NYC schools though because I want to work on Wall Street after I'm done in the corporate world.

[Edited on September 6, 2005 at 11:19 AM. Reason : f]

9/6/2005 11:18:51 AM

^that is amazing, had 2 friends that scored in that range and got full rides to wake forest and chapel hell

9/6/2005 12:14:02 PM

GPA was bad.. I'm SURE they had much better GPAs.. I stayed in Engineering far too long before I switched majors and it killed it..

I don't really mind. I wanted to get out of this area anyway and being denied at UNC made my choice to do that easy..

9/6/2005 1:09:57 PM

My gf got a 173. Got accepted to standford but turned them down to go to KU which is a bit closer to home for her. She makes me feel dumb. Me and my 154.

9/6/2005 2:55:52 PM

DAMN, I'm jealous.

At least you didn't retake it and get the same score like I did.
