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.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By TD alt · Posted

      And you know this how? Stay in your lane, junior. I'm pretty sure I'm a lot older than you, am a whole lot more experienced with life, and have watched football in earnest probably longer than you've been alive. I agree, but I was talking directly about injuries. As far as the economics, I'm assuming that Moton would have to take a pay cut and would probably be compelled to if he wants to stay in Charlotte. He seems like a thoughtful and practical guy. He knows that he's getting older and realizes the nature of the business. Hell, last time there were were questions on whether he would be here the last season. Dan and Brandt were dialing up the pressure. I don't think they're going to go into any type of contractual extension discussions without having a backup plan--i.e., a person that will appear to be Moton's replacement. And, to be honest, that person may be Moton's replacement depending how things go. But, I get the impression that Moton wants to be in Charlotte (unless he's developed some undying desire to chase a championship somewhere else).

      Canes/wolves vs flyers 7pm

      It would be pretty fun with something like this. 3 on 3 the first 5 minutes, 2 on 2 the next 5 minutes (after a stoppage), then 1 on 1 (after a stoppage) the rest of the way. I just feel like this would be equal parts entertaining and chaos to watch

      2026 Win predictions from DraftKings

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      I'm more surprised our odds to win the division didn't really improve that much after free agency (like +380 -> + 320). I threw a few hundred on us to win the division again at +425 back in February, just because I figured Atlanta and Tampa would get worse. After our free agency, I am still surprised Tampa is the favorite to win the division.
