i'm about to venture out to 4 seasons mall. i hope i don't get shot!

12/21/2009 1:44:14 PM

YOU GON' GET RAPED

12/21/2009 1:51:11 PM

idiot box and maybe natty greens tonight. or i might just come home and snuggle with my pup.

12/22/2009 6:16:32 PM

I had to go to Four Seasons today for Christmas shopping My mom was petrified. Apparently it's gangland central now, although the crowd didn't seem any more "ethnic" or any less "tween girls dressed like prostitutes."

God, how I hate this town.

"On December 23, 2006, a shopper was murdered just outside of Baby Gap on the second floor of the mall. Due to the large holiday crowd, the event was reported extensively. The incident marked the second shooting at the mall in little more than a month; a man was killed on November 21, 2006, when he was shot in the parking lot outside the mall's J.C. Penney store."

AVOID BABY GAP!

12/22/2009 7:08:58 PM

Yes

Especially if you fuck up the controls on your time machine and end up outside the store on 12/23/06.

12/22/2009 7:18:19 PM

I can see Natty's from my apartment window, and yet I've never been. Whats the vibe there? (I've only lived in town for a few weeks)

12/22/2009 10:34:12 PM

it didn't seem so bad when i was there monday

12/22/2009 10:36:54 PM

Natty's -- as far as I can tell -- is the only decent bar in Greensboro

12/22/2009 10:37:35 PM

^ seriously?

12/22/2009 10:39:08 PM

decent isn't a very high standard

12/22/2009 10:39:45 PM

what about mccoul's? and is richys uptown still around?

12/22/2009 10:44:46 PM

I've only been here three months and I work like 60 hours a week -- my sample size is small.

12/22/2009 10:50:02 PM

you should go to those places if they are still around. i used to love them back around 2001-2003ish

12/22/2009 10:55:14 PM

Saw a sign that they're opening a Natty's in Raleigh, which has me stoked. The atmosphere and whatnot are fine and all, but I really, really like their beer.

12/22/2009 11:13:33 PM

man, if you think natty's is the best bar in greensboro then i feel kinda sorry for you. grey's is small but cool, there's the green borough across the street, mccoul's, stumble stilskins, and a lot of others. they're all within walking distance of each other too

12/22/2009 11:31:44 PM

I wasn't really promoting NG's so much as I was deploring the Greensboro bar scene as a whole

12/23/2009 7:35:49 PM

greensboro is not so bad. high point on the other hand....

12/23/2009 7:43:41 PM

Greensboro's bar scene is very much "Cheers"-like. If you get in with a couple local bars it's awesome. If not, it sucks

12/23/2009 7:47:17 PM

I'm very cool with that concept

Please, Sam, tell me where to go

Where will they know my name

12/23/2009 7:50:46 PM

Roll with me to Speakeasy a few times, and before you know it you will drink all night for $20

12/23/2009 8:25:05 PM

o snap

That's just down the road from the hood

12/23/2009 8:36:41 PM

i know


i watch you when you sleep


and when you don't sleep


naughty boy

12/23/2009 8:37:38 PM

am i not allowed cuz im a girl?

12/23/2009 10:50:23 PM

I'll be in-town tomorrow night through Saturday or Sunday. Home sweet zzzz.

12/23/2009 10:52:10 PM

I'll be back in town sometime just before the 31st.

Whoa thats pretty awesome. McCoul's is right there and in general is a better bar than Natty's, but Natty's brews are pretty awesome. They had a rockin' Sam Bush concert right down there over the summer that was one of the best concerts I've been too. Also the Green Burro is right there and that's another bar better than Natty's.

Though I tend to stay more towards the UNCG area, NYP and College Hill have $1 bottles on Tuesdays, with Jake's pool hall having $1 domestics and $1 hotdogs on monday nights.

Chan Marshall used to live in Greensboro

She is so fine

Snow Freezing Fog

1/29/2010 6:32:49 PM

the crazy outweighs the fineness

1/29/2010 6:45:17 PM

the crazy does outweigh

have you ever seen (ATTEMPTED TO SEE is more like her) in concert

does. not. go. well.

1/29/2010 6:47:40 PM

Look she's on the wagon now

I want to be on that wagon

[Edited on January 29, 2010 at 6:49 PM. Reason : Her shows are reportedly bearable now, too]

1/29/2010 6:48:27 PM

no but I've read plenty about it

and she's supposedly gotten better

1/29/2010 6:48:49 PM

well the last time i tried was in like 02 or something. maybe 03.

i mean she is one of my all time fav artists so i'm not hating

but when i think about that show i get a little angry

1/29/2010 6:49:29 PM

I Don't Blame You

1/29/2010 6:50:14 PM

well played

1/29/2010 6:51:35 PM

1/29/2010 6:52:02 PM

looks like we're both listening to the new beach house

go figure

1/29/2010 6:52:52 PM

oh god

in the words of my boyfriend

that album "gives me major boners"

1/29/2010 6:53:52 PM

Yes, this album is a drive straight down Boner Boulevard

1/29/2010 6:54:51 PM

the album gives major boners

the dvd doesn't

1/29/2010 6:56:37 PM

khc

Or other Greensboro people

Have you ever been to Compare Foods

It's like a shitty Mexican discount grocery store near A&T

It is awesome

1/29/2010 8:07:21 PM

no!!!

but now i'm going to

do they have cheese there? because i've been looking for that mexican white cheese everywhereeeee.

1/29/2010 8:08:16 PM

isn't it goat cheese?

1/29/2010 8:08:36 PM

Get ready for this

They have a whole fucking Mexican aisle

And they have stuff you can no longer find at any reputable grocer

Namely Five Alive and Taco Hamburger Helper

Their beer selection is shit but it's the nearest store to the house

[Edited on January 29, 2010 at 8:10 PM. Reason : I wouldn't buy any meat or produce there, though]

1/29/2010 8:10:08 PM

OMG I LOVE TACO HAMBURGER HELPER

and 5 alive

1/29/2010 8:10:53 PM

oh gosh
