    There's a concert at the Alabama Theatre tonight as well so places around there will likely be especially crowded. glimmer

    It looks like Bistro 218 has availability tonight. I'd also try calling Cafe Dupont and Galley & Garden. If you don't mind going to Cahaba Heights, Satterfield's is also an off-the-beaten-path fine dining spot.

    thanks <3 and I hope she's doing well. i actually moved downtown from tuscaloosa earlier this year to have some semblance of a community outside of weekends at Icon. there's not a huge community but we do our best to look out for each other. i've gotta imagine it was a lot more dire in 2017 tho.

    appreciate the 218 rec, i think that's where me and the bestie will wind up. it's only a few blocks to walk get a Lyft so that's nice

    I always forget about it, but we ended up there in a similar situation to yours one night last spring. Our meal was great, and we've been back a couple of times since.

    Got to play it once on a bachelor party. It was an awesome experience. Sat down to eat lunch before we teed off and Roddick sits down right by us.

    Late to the Highlands talk, but my uncle has one of the nicest houses/views I’ve ever seen up there. On top of one of the mountains. But I felt completely out of place there. It seemed like all the multi millionaires from Atlanta went there for their escape.

    Highlands CC is cool and has it's place. Awesome greens, fun layout.

    Mountaintop has the GOAT halfway houses and a great place to drink beers with your buddies.

    Wade is an awesome proper course with caddies.

    High Hampton is supposedly sick but I haven't played it yet. My 2 buddies are running it so I need to get up there soon.

    He isn't guessing. He knows these things to be factually true. I'm just a self aware privileged prick. Some say that makes me even worse.

    Deuce spends time at the same place in Cashiers that I do and just got back from a Caribbean trip like two weeks ago so he is throwing stones from his glass vacation home.

    Thinking about redoing my kitchen and bathrooms and I have very little idea of where to start. The kitchen work is fairly straightforward IMO (painting cabinets, updating appliances, replacing tile backsplash, etc.), but the bathrooms will probably be a bit more labor intensive (getting rid of/glazing old ass colored tile from the 50s, updating shower, and hopefully knocking down a wall to expand the master bath if feasible). Anyone have any recommendations for a reliable guy (preferably with a vision and some ideas) who'd be interested in coming by and giving a quote for one or both?

    I really like my contractor, but I don't know when he'll be available. I think he's currently slammed. Pm'ed his details.
