Hmmm...

McDonald's that used to be a theater.
Super aggressive panhandlers.
Super aggressive panhandlers following you into the McDonald's that used to be a theater so they can take your change directly from the cashier.

Both comic shops.
Yeah, the arcade. Almost forgot about that. Back in the day when you could actually walk around inside Electric Co "Mall"

LOL, she "lived", or co-habitated with an dude who looked like an older drugged out version of Layne Staley (mainly because of the black sunglasses he wore) on Maiden Lane. One of them got arrested one night for some domestic disupte.

what was the name of the bald white "homeless" panhandler that was always out there in the mid to late 90s? he was very agressive and had a catchphrase that i've forgotten. supposedly he had actually owned a decent house... was his name "john _____"? i remember hearing he died around 2000.

does anyone remember black "papa"? he died last year.

and school kids when it was in the place one of the restraunts is now, maybe the burger place?

Yeah, he was around Maiden a lot and he spit a lot of game. But he called everyone "papa", and everyone called him "papa". And he was black.

My dad's always talking about the strip club on hillsborough, and The Keg.

And he worked in a service station that was in the same place as the brewery.

At least that the way he remembers it.

Just saw a bluegrass band perform at Sadlacks on my lunch break. I'm adding that to the list.

IKR? I was there a couple of weeks ago and was wondering how anyone ever fit in the place before it expanded.

And I loved eating at darryl's. Guess I should be glad I didn't die from the health issues but it was good

^ 3 I always kind of felt bad for that lady since something obviously wasn't turned on upstairs and that guy obviously took advantage of her.

I was a good 30 yards behind the car walking down the street when that happened. Scared the holy mother out of me..

that was early in the evening, weren't many folks out just yet.

and I believe that was 2003, maybe '04.

we used to kill that shit back when it was wings to go, course all my friends worked there so it was free

7/10/2012 3:29:28 PM

When we beat FSU on a Daniel Evans heave, and they drug the goalpost down Hillsborough St.

(I actually only have very vague memories of this, i was wasted)

7/10/2012 3:37:11 PM

I thought the only time the goal posts got dragged down Hillsborough St were after the FSU win in 98

of course I could be way wrong with this as I was hammered for every other big upset

[Edited on July 10, 2012 at 3:42 PM. Reason : after 2004, of course]

GT in 2000. I still remember the tear gas.

7/10/2012 3:47:33 PM

I lived on Maiden Ln for 3 years so basically on Hillsborough St. Lots of good times. Taking the streets over after we beat clemson in 2002 is one memory that comes to mind.

We always had to deal with the bums too though.
We called this lady "Walrus Lady". She actually wasn't too bad compared to the rest.

That game was in '06. Pretty sure we haven't rushed the field to be able to tear down the goalposts since beating FSU in 2002, but I could be wrong.

7/10/2012 3:56:18 PM

I've thought about it some more, and I'm about 99.9% sure that the last time the field at Carter-Finley was rushed was after the Adrian McPherson game and that was in 2002

got the shit pepper sprayed out of me that night

[Edited on July 10, 2012 at 4:00 PM. Reason : ^ beat me to it. exactly. damn my slow researching skillz]

^^i swear i thought i remember that, must be mixing my memories.

anyways, i do remember when starbucks closed down, and somebody spray-painted "Starbucks, you got served" on the outside wall. That wasn't too long ago.

One person made it over the wall that game and after the Troopers got a hold of him, everyone backed off.

7/10/2012 4:15:19 PM

its the 98 fsu game where the goal posts were torn down and marched to the waffle house
