    Yeah, when I went in Nashville I got "Hot" and I couldn't have handled anything more. It was fucking hot.

    I had Eugene's Hot Chicken at Cahaba, I ordered the Hot (which was fucking delicious) and I can't imagine getting the stupid. I think I downed 3 pints of beer just finishing the plate of hot.

    I've eaten there probably five times. It's so weird to sit in there eat. I prefer to get take out, but regardless, it's fucking delicious.

    I like hot foods but at a certain point it's impossible to even enjoy what you're eating. I do, however, love watching stubborn people who refuse to admit that attempt to down some 911 XTREME LAVA BEAR MACE flavored wings though.


    Anyway...

    Recommendations for Diplomat Deli, please. Only eaten there once and I must have ordered super poorly because what I had looked and tasted almost exactly like a sandwich I'd make myself at home with store bought deli meats and bread.

    Reuben is pretty good.

    It's a good weekday lunch spot but you basically hit it on the head. Nothing too special about the sandwiches and a little overrated.

    I got the stupid outside of Saturn one night. I was pretty fucked up, so it wasn't horrible until the next day/

    don't care after that. Moe's is always solid.

    Surprisingly, it seems like there should be more local BBQ in Bham.

    I always thought this would be a great location for a top golf (from an investors perspective)....turn that ugly triangle house into a pro shop/ bar....
    [​IMG]

    It's a destination venue so get the cheaper land, people will come regardless....plus catch the 280/mountain brook crowd....

    From a consumer prospective, they should of put it in Lakeview where they're building those new apartments or across from Highland Park golf course on Clairmont where they're building those new apartments....

    I don't know enough about their history as a company to predict where they might put it....I do know that business model is ripe for a knock off...

    TopGolf would absolutely kill in Bham. I would love for it to be anywhere other than Hoover/down 280 but even down there it would be amazing.

    They'd be best off opening two locations simultaneously. One out 280 and one near downtown. Still think they'd both succeed from day 1.

    Driving home from picking up my daughter around 3:30 and on the way back saw a dude standing bare ass on the side of 459N (Acton) jerking off. He was like 5' from the woodline, just standing there with absolutely nothing on and no car in sight. Pretty normal looking white guy, probably in his late 20s, slightly above average cock.

    Never lost power in Crestline Park. I did get woken up by some thunder that shook our house. Lightning had to be pretty close because I'm basically a corpse when I sleep.

    You need to join the generator master race. It still kind of sucks because I have to turn the TV back on and it is dark for about 10 seconds.

    I am not sure but think it is several thousand dollars. It was here when we moved in. At the time I didn't think much of it but within a month moving in the power went out for a couple of days. I am going to seriously consider putting it in any future house we are going to live in long term. A lot of the houses on our street have it because of how easily the power goes out around here. It also seems like we are down the list to get it turned back on.

    I love the beautiful old trees but they are a bitch when the weather hits. If we ever get a good ice storm we are so fucked.
