OBAMA JUST LANDED AT PTI!!!!!



and it has interrupted my Price is Right.

12/6/2010 11:03:51 AM

he came out of the plane with Richard Burr. I wonder what that asshat was doing on board

12/6/2010 11:16:03 AM

When I was a freshman in high school, my marching band was chosen to play for President Bush when he landed at PTI. I wonder if there's a similar reception for Obama.

12/6/2010 11:27:29 AM

nope

he just got off the plane, waived, talked to The Joker and the media, and got in his car.

Jackleg's offer to smoke crack with me in a tunnel and previous discussion about the rape tunnel in Latham Park reminded me about the rape bridge in my neighborhood.

Shit's pretty cool in the warm months if you like walking and exercising and shit. But when it turns dark and cold, the railroad bums come out and it's about the last damn place you want to be.

12/13/2010 2:22:28 PM

hahah you know the trail is called the railroad trail over here. i dont know if it connects to the rape bridge, i should look at a map. this trail goes a long long way

NCSU Vs. Elon at the Greensboro Coliseum
January 5th, 7PM
Tickets start at $10

Who's going?

12/21/2010 10:21:48 AM

I'll be there!

12/21/2010 11:30:20 AM

it was 3 years ago today that my roommate almost burned down our basement apartment on mendenhal trying to make pottery.

i was in town long enough to go to natty green's last weekend. they still have great beer, but what was with all the people from the n-club crowd hanging around?

12/21/2010 11:35:13 AM

Natty's has pretty much turned into Douchebag Central. I usually only go there for lunch.

12/22/2010 9:56:02 AM

woohoo snow!

12/25/2010 2:02:04 PM

so, you fit right in, right, dj?

12/25/2010 2:08:53 PM

i like nattys! we may go there tomorrow. i've only been a handful of times though when i'm in town visiting and so i don't pay much attention to the crowd

12/25/2010 5:57:54 PM

how are the roads this morning?

12/26/2010 9:55:05 AM

i finally feel good enough to go out and there's snow everywhere! i want to explore the 68/wendover area this afternoon. anyone been out there?

12/26/2010 11:50:28 AM

This place is great, and a five minute walk from the crib

Go there

1/2/2011 9:14:46 AM

^ Agreed

I also recommend Smith St. Diner for breakfast. It is probably the best breakfast I have ever had, and was featured in this month's Our State Magazine.

1/3/2011 9:07:24 AM

Yeah but their biscuits are so tiny

1/3/2011 10:14:29 AM

Which is what I like. I am not a fan of huge biscuits

1/3/2011 10:40:32 AM

second the smith st. diner.

yummies.... my favorite in NC!!

best pancakes too!

1/3/2011 12:13:18 PM

Bought my tickets to the game today. I recommend going to the Coliseum box office so you can save the Ticketmaster charges. I got 2, first row behind the floor section, center court, $20 each.

1/4/2011 4:57:22 PM

^^^ dude I was kidding their biscuits are the size of bowling balls.

1/4/2011 7:59:07 PM

I know of a huge filthy bitch from Winston Salem.

Highly relevant to this thread.

1/4/2011 8:01:14 PM

^^ I figured

1/5/2011 10:07:32 AM

Could you Greensboro people please provide suggestions of nice apartment complexes/townhouses in Greensboro? Just moved here for a job and am currently shacked up in temporary housing.

1/7/2011 4:05:18 PM

How far do you want to commute? The north end of HP has some decent Apt complexes.

1/7/2011 4:07:37 PM

yes, where are you working/interested in living?

1/7/2011 5:31:10 PM

I actually will be working in Kernersville. I'd willing to commute about 30 minutes to and from work. What's downtown Greensboro like?... I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. Is it shitty? I've considered living pretty close to downtown Gboro, if not in downtown Gboro, just to be close to happening hangouts and young ppl. Don't really know anyone from this area so I'm gonna have to do some friend-making.

1/7/2011 5:33:20 PM

G.O.D and I live downtown (inside the little loop thing) on w. washington. downtown apartments and townhouses are kinda expensive for Greensboro I thought. (got a pretty good deal but still)

depends on how much you want to spend?
you're gonna want to get to 73? or 40 pretty direct as well.
definitely more going on downtown than anywhere else...

DO NOT look at cityview. over priced and full of undergrads (read: party's every night till 2am+) place looks like jersey shore....

what kinda place are you looking for? new/old/rennovated? size? price? location?

[Edited on January 7, 2011 at 5:48 PM. Reason : pretty much ]

1/7/2011 5:47:42 PM

i don't know that i would want to live near downtown, unless you're planning to hang out there A LOT. i would consider living near the airport which is pretty close to kernersville. you might also consider winston-salem, though i'm unfamiliar with the traffic situation in that area.

[Edited on January 7, 2011 at 8:30 PM. Reason : ]

1/7/2011 8:28:47 PM

Well I would prefer "newer" but renovated would be fine as well. As long as it's clean and looks nice. I am willing to spend up to prolly around $750 a month on rent... although the less money, the better. I guess whether I get a 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom kinda depends on the difference in rent at that particular place.

The main reason why I mentioned the whole downtown thing is because I enjoy being around people... it would be nice to be able to walk to a bar or coffee shop to chill in the evenings. I've never NOT had a roommate, so this whole living by myself thing is going to be new to me. Thanks for the advice about Cityview... I was actually planning on visiting there in the next few weeks, but I guess I will mark that off my list.

Living out closer to the airport would make for a more convenient commute and would be less congested. I also assume that I would get a nicer place for the same amount of money out there. But I doubt it would be as lively and there would probably be less young people out there?

Arab13, do you know anything about the Lofts at Greensborough?

1/7/2011 8:48:24 PM

i think you would be surprised.... there are some decent bars out that way and def some young professionals living in the area. and you're still not far from downtown greensboro or winston-salem

[Edited on January 7, 2011 at 8:57 PM. Reason : ]

1/7/2011 8:57:05 PM

Could you recommend any apartment places out there?

[Edited on January 7, 2011 at 9:41 PM. Reason : .]

1/7/2011 9:41:06 PM

not sure of any specifics... i'm headed that way to visit the folks this weekend though so i can ask around

1/7/2011 10:22:01 PM

That would be great! Thanks so much!

1/7/2011 10:34:01 PM

There are several apartments in the Wendover area (Specifically near Celebration Station, Big Tree Way) that are right off the highway. You can get to K'Ville in about 15 minutes from here, and you would have access to just about any shopping you need on Wendover.

1/8/2011 10:46:23 AM

I lived in Allerton Place apartments, and I really liked it there. It's very close to the airport, near Wendover, and High Point, and close enough that you won't hate the drive to Kernersville. If you're a golfer, there's a huge golfing place across the street.

It's on the corner of Highway 68 and Pleasant Ridge Road. If this area is one you would consider, I can give you more details on the place itself. I really liked the location, but it is maybe more remote than what you're looking for.

1/8/2011 10:50:59 AM

nice, new, but kinda pricy, at least for me, if it's in your range then it might be worth a look at. very close to natty's and other downtown institutions

1/9/2011 2:30:38 PM

there are some areas over on the west side of unc-g that you can walk to a few bars and such, migh be pretty nice. but they are mostly houses....


oh yeah, what's the best sushi place open on sunday?

also, what's the 'good' theater around here? (less thugs, less stickyness etc)

"you're gonna want to get to 73? "

73?

1/9/2011 2:58:45 PM

^^ which one do you normally go to? i always went to the carousel. i think that is considered thuggish by some because i HEARD people were shot there once. but pretty sure people have been shot EVERYWHERE in greensboro. anyway, it was never ghetto when i went. usually the theaters were pretty empty/i was often the only patron there. and their tickets were cheaper. snacks, too.

and once they showed the room. hahaha.

oh the room.

1/9/2011 3:06:47 PM

Waughtown St., haha

1/9/2011 3:58:09 PM

i have some friends who live/have lived in the adam's farm area (off mackay between guilford college and high point rd) and i've heard good things. it's not far from 73 or 40

1/9/2011 4:22:59 PM

yeah 73 is what the greensboro is slowly trying to turn into a north half beltline

what's the best chinese delivery that reaches downtown?
