The lady who works next door launches the weather balloons and the one she launched at 7pm got sucked up into that tornado as that cell moved to the north. It was so badass!

There is a 10 degree temperature differential between us and Winston-Salem!!

3/28/2010 7:54:59 PM

That shit was wild. Never seen a neighborhood just destroyed before.

3/30/2010 4:43:37 AM

Is there anywhere downtown with an outside patio that will let me sit with the dog while I eat? I know McCouls won't...

3/30/2010 11:43:43 AM

You could always get something to go and sit in Center City Park

3/30/2010 11:44:53 AM

^I ended up packing a lunch and bringing it to center city. The issue with getting to go is I have no where to leave the houndbeast while I go in and get it. I miss how dog friendly downtown Charleston is.

3/30/2010 12:43:24 PM

Well if you dig hotdogs, there's that hotdog vendor that stands by Center City Park every day. But yeah, other than that you're screwed if you have to walk into a place. Although I have seen several people tie their dogs to lamp posts while they run in to grab their food

3/30/2010 12:44:49 PM

Macy would have an anxiety attack if I left her by herself for half a second outside. I wish McCouls would let me hang out there, I'd love to grab an afternoon beer and bread pudding on my day off when I have no one to chill with but the bulldog.

3/30/2010 2:05:12 PM

If you're bored, you could always come buy internet from me!

3/30/2010 2:06:37 PM

i've seen people eating at the outside part of natty's with dogs before

3/30/2010 3:08:24 PM

Does anyone have any optometrist suggestions?

I'm blind as fuck and I should probably make an appointment while I still have vision coverage.

4/4/2010 10:05:04 PM

which one of you fuckers is taking me on a date to feeney's frozen yogurt bar?!

no but seriously

has anyone been? is it worth it? i love frozen yogurt. especially what this SOUNDS like. it sounds like the kind of place that does it by weight. like they have 8 flavors on tap. you can mix however many you want. put as many toppings on and then they weigh it at the end

its 15 minutes from my house though. it seems like a fatass thing to do to drive there. but it also sounds AMAZINGGGGGG.

4/6/2010 7:21:40 PM

I would do you one better and take you to Gnam Gnam Gelato.

4/6/2010 7:44:18 PM

Greensboro has the closest Steak 'n Shake to me. That's sad. Get with the program SnS, you're too good to only be in cities.

4/6/2010 7:54:23 PM

that place is right down the road from me.

4/8/2010 12:52:39 PM

Someone who likes Steak n Shake?

I've only ever been to the one in Greensboro. Maybe that one is just awful.

4/8/2010 1:30:22 PM

Fireworks

Isn't it raining

4/24/2010 9:49:05 PM

4/24/2010 9:49:39 PM

COME ON ALREADY

4/24/2010 9:51:10 PM

sigh.

4/24/2010 9:52:46 PM

I heard some fireworks earlier too son.

And I'm not in greensboro son.

4/24/2010 9:53:27 PM

4/24/2010 9:54:44 PM

I, too, was surprised they did the fireworks tonight.

4/24/2010 10:38:20 PM

not that anyone else is awake but i can hear THE most annoying noise outside right now. it sounds like a weedcutter or leaf blower or chain saw or something annoying.

i'm irritated.

5/2/2010 5:06:28 AM

are there good brunch places in gboro?

these dudes that live near me work at the iron hen. i WANTED to go tomorrow but those slackers are closed on sunday. but look at the menu

omnomnom

5/2/2010 5:12:11 AM

Oh damn, I am trying to remember a place I went to up on Battleground and New Garden (I think) that specializes in Sunday brunch. I only went there once and it was a few months ago. I will try and find it. >.<

edit: I want to say Village Tavern on Battleground and Westridge but their site is being dumb so I can't confirm that. I will have to ask the girl whom I went there with.

5/2/2010 5:58:57 AM

was it tavern on the green?

5/2/2010 11:58:30 AM

^^Probably Village Tavern. It's in the shopping center with a Kohl's and Harris Teeter I think. Big huge fireplace in the middle of the room? It's a very popular brunch place. Actually the first place I ever ate in Greensboro (10 years ago...)

Here is their brunch menu--note that it downloads a pdf-- http://www.villagetavern.com/pilotFiles/fckPages/file/Menus/greensboro_brunch_jan2009.pdf

[Edited on May 2, 2010 at 12:09 PM. Reason : pdf menu]

5/2/2010 12:07:28 PM

The Village Tavern parking lot is ALWAYS full. Never been there myself though.

Made a trip to Jerusalem market and picked up some falafel and jaffa cakes yesterday....great stuff.

5/2/2010 1:56:21 PM

^^ yea i totally forgot about VT

i've only eaten there once for dinner but it was yummy. next wknd i will have to try the brunch.

5/2/2010 3:04:30 PM

any specialty beer places like peace st market here?

i want to find the brooklyn summer ale

i checked at fresh market. no dice.

5/2/2010 5:20:33 PM

There is this place http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/19637/ which I've been meaning to check out

I know Total Wine carries Brooklyn beah

5/2/2010 5:25:26 PM

ohhh total wine good call. i didn't think about thatttt

sweet i wanna check out that other store too

5/2/2010 5:34:17 PM

Bestway Food on Walker Ave rocks. Brewers Kettle in High Point.

5/2/2010 8:16:41 PM

ummmmm how come i never heard of this until today?!?!

Koh Hyang Market

has anyone been? (formerly the latin asian farmers market)

apparently it is the bomb. i'm going asap. like. tomorrow.

5/9/2010 11:15:21 PM

Super cool car bro

5/13/2010 6:09:36 PM

UGH THIS CITY

nothing i want is here

5/13/2010 6:14:40 PM

whatcha lookin for?
i'm considering moving back in a year.

5/13/2010 6:52:57 PM

i wish they had a whole foods or a trader joes. i know they have fresh market but that isn't the same. earth fare is disgusting...i tried.

i don't know what else right now haha but i know there are other things that i'm like oh i'll just go here and then i'm like wtf durham as this and winston salem has it but no gboro? wtf!!!!

5/13/2010 6:56:48 PM

i've noticed harris teeter is starting to have some really good organic and natural options so that might be a good alternative if that's what you're looking for. lowes usually has a lot of gluten/casein free stuff that is a little cheaper than whole foods. trader joes would be nice though since it is so cheap.

5/13/2010 7:01:10 PM

ohhh is there a lowe's in gboro? i haven't seen one i'd totally go to lowe's i like lowe's

yea i'd just LOVE a trader joes that would be the bomb.

do you know any good haircut places in gboro? ones that aren't an arm and a leg but not supercuts either?

5/13/2010 7:03:20 PM

i go to this lady in high point who does my mom's hair. she's pretty much the only person who has ever cut my hair since i moved to north carolina. i don't really like change
there is a place on eastchester i went to once when i really fucked up my hair when i let a friend dye it while we were drunk. the chick there did a great cut/color job. i wish i could remember the name. it was expensive as fuck though.


i'm not sure about lowes in the greensboro area. come to think of it, i'm not sure i'd even heard of it til i came to raleigh. apparently there are two - guilford college rd and old oak ridge. not exactly close to you though.

[Edited on May 13, 2010 at 7:14 PM. Reason : ]

5/13/2010 7:09:38 PM

There are lots of Lowes in Winston and surrounding areas, but none that I know of in Greensboro

I actually took my Greenpoints card off my keychain just last week

5/13/2010 7:12:49 PM

Lowe's Foods? New Garden Road, in the shopping center opposite the one that has Target.

5/13/2010 7:15:14 PM

There is a salon on high point road near where the kol hyang market is.

Are you familar with the sedgefield crossing cinemas that is on high point road down the street from kol hyang and jerusalem market? It's in the same shopping center. I believe there is a Hancock Fabric store their also.

They are really good.

If you want a market that is much larger than the Kol Hyang, try Super G Mart on 4927 West Market St. The prices are pretty good.

wife goes there and is happy with her hair. Wife says the girl that cuts her hair is named Jennifer.

Also there is a Lowes Food off the Byran Blvd exit and New Garden. The Teeter and the yogurt shop is on one side of the exit and the Lowes is on the other side.
