    I've met Cronagle and his SO at Good Dog a couple times, very nice folks and seem to like being in Birmingham. We connected over our Bernadoodles.

    His Bernadoodle was with him at the hardware store. I watched them walk down the sidewalk to get there and the dog was just walking a step and a half behind him with no leash. To be honest, it worried me a bit considering they were walking down Montevallo but they did it safely when I was watching.

    His brother that also used to play for us is in the commercial real estate industry here now if I remember correctly.

    I say this as someone who is incredibly biased because basically every Friday from April-October i'm sitting in standstill traffic on the way home, but they are going to need to continue widening 65. I don't have the data but I know development on the gulf coast has increased dramatically in the past 20 years, and I doubt the infrastructure getting down there has increased with it.

    isn’t there a point of diminishing returns on widening a interstate?

    probably. i don't know. i would love it if they sunk a trillion bucks in it and made high speed rail from chicago to Rosemary Beach but just trying to think what's feasible here.

    I don't disagree. It's not like they'd build 10 lanes. But a lot of it is a joke. Definitely my least favorite stretch of interstate in Alabama (65 from Bham to Greenville or so).

    i think montgomery-Birmingham needs to be at lest 3 lanes on each side. that would probably solve most of the congestion.

    The stretch where it drops from three lanes to two between Alabaster and just outside of Montgomery is horrible. I was coming back from a work meeting in Montgomery and myself and a few other cars had had enough and were going 90 in the right lane passing all the dildo Midwesterners returning from the beach. Get out of the left lane you dummies

    pre-movie service was fine through.

    There is zero chance I’d sit in a theater without AC in Alabama in July. Y’all are some cheap motherfuckers. Just eat the $14 or whatever a movie costs now.

    I would say Perdido/OBA is better than 30A, but the Cajun Redneck/Texas invasion there is pretty awful.

    i legitimately considered the idea that Nolan wanted to gradually turn the heat up on the audience as they got closer to the explosion. it didn't start off that bad but after an hour and a half i was covered in sweat.

    Comes from a lot of money on both sides of her family. She started an affair with that guy who was a bartender in Abaco. Family cut her off after the affair and some other issues.

    It’s so strange. Was completely normal growing up. And in college was just your typical student. National media is starting to run with it.
