Does the bagelry still deliver or has that been relegated to the gig economy? I used to get overstuffed bagelicious delivered as a hangover cure many moons ago.

Not sure. I used to use the hell out of Boone Takeout when I was in school. They were DoorDash before that was even an idea

I used to go to Parthenon for $.25 wings which also no longer exists.

Most of the places that I used to go to when I lived there don't exist anymore except for Macado's and Boone Saloon and those were the two (especially the saloon) that I went to the least.

Portofino's is also closed/demolished.

 

 

God the owner Nick stories from Parthenon were always something else lol.

I'm old. Boone Saloon was Caribbean Cafe.  Wild Craft was Blues BBQ. Tapp Room was Klondike. Murpheys was on 105

Those were great times

Yeah all those things existed during my life. By the time I could drink the old Murphy's had burned down and moved to downtown though.

My first restaurant job ever was at Woodlands in blowing rock which is also now closed

Damn so Woodland’s fully closed now? I had heard it wasn’t great after the ownership change. My family loved that place but my parents went last year and said it wasn’t good anymore

Well I'm not sure. It's probably still open but as far as I'm concerned it's closed lol

Would love to go to Boone for this..I am 45 min away...but will be a traffic nightmare.  I can only imagine what it was like for the UNC game.  The roads in that area not designed for this stuff.

Whaaaaaat? I live 2 hours away and was able to go to both home games without any issues with traffic both coming and going,

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
