Yeah, the boat launch that we used to use when I was a kid was the actual old highway into Butler.

I’m originally from Crossnore NC in Avery County. I’ve lived on the Tennessee side, Johnson City and now Telford, since 2009. Good luck in whatever you decide.

My brothers were born at Sloop Memorial in Crossnore. Of course it no longer exists, but I'm sure you know that.

I do. Mom and Dad moved to Morganton in 1966 so I was born at Grace. We moved back in 69. I’ve thrown snow balls off the roof of the old Sloop and hit cars going through Crossnore.

I was born in Charlotte, so I'm partial to it. Everywhere else is great to visit though. If I lived in another city it'd be Swannanoa or maybe Hendersonville. 

I know that this is just a list for fun, but LOL at anyone who lives on Lake Norman having the gall to say any other place 'has no soul.' LKN was okay 20-30 years ago before it was overrun by Rust Belt refugees and MAGA dipshits.

I see Wilmington was left off intentionally...shame.

 

I'd rather live here than anywhere in the state, and it's not close.

 

Being from the area myself, it's a very love it or hate it city. I was excited to take the wife around a couple years ago and she was very meh about it. I don't get it but that's my youth so I'll always consider it home a bit

I get it.

Wilmington is different, that's for sure.  You have to slow down, you have to realize folks don't work on Fridays, certainly not the weekends.

9 months out of the year I can jump in my truck and be at my boat in less than 10 minutes, head out to go catch Flounder, Trout, or Red Drum, back at the house before my son is finishing breakfast.  Pack the fam and the dog up, and head out  for a day of cruising, sand bar hopping, or fishing.

Head home after and eat fresh fish.

Run down to Southport on the boat for lunch?  Sure!

Mayfaire and fantastic restaurants are 5 minutes from my house and if you want, you can head downtown to catch most any band...river front.

I get it, if you visit Wilmington...may not look like much, but if you live the coastal life, it's an Awesome place to raise a family.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
