little bit out of the price range. i doubt i'll be able to make it happen. would love it, though. a flat over a coffee shop would make me the happiest. 

That place had a coffee shop just down the street if I remember correctly. I wouldn't like living over a restaurant or coffee shop. Too many people and I'd be worried the place would burn down because of somebody not paying attention in the kitchen.

i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something. 

life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 

Back in my 20s, I lived in a flat over a Hallmark store in downtown West Jefferson for about five years. It was some of the best times of my life. The only difficulty was that right outside my bedroom window was the town's massive fire siren.

It was good that I was the local newspaper editor and had to go out and cover house fires and whatnot, because when that siren fired up, it would just about blow me out of my bed and into the next room. Deafened, I might as well get dressed, grab a camera and follow the fire trucks as they'd roll out.

I grew up in upstate NY just south of Lake Ontario and moved back to Western NY just north of Niagara Falls for a few years as an adult. As a late teen I saw plenty of snow living in WV and I've seen some pretty damn impressive lake effect snow storms in New York State.  Once in a while I get nostalgic for a big snow fall - like maybe on Xmas eve.  The rest of the time - no thanks.  Been there done that and at my age am done with it.  Its pretty to see, no doubt, but too much work and the other bs that goes with it uglies up the picture for me.

      Kurb is still alive and well.  I’m still friends with him on all of the social media.  He truly is a great man!  That’s my bro!  He always looked out for me since the early days of the huddle.  It definitely makes me sad that he just quit posting here, but that’s life.  He still shares his takes on social media and X, but a lot of the huddle vets just grew tired of this format and the environment, I guess?  It’s a lot of guys that were valuable contributors here that just stopped posting but are still alive and passionate Panthers fans.  Blindsite used to post huge write-ups and was a well-respected poster and then just disappeared.  We had one of these type threads several years ago and he checked back in and explained he just lost the motivation to stay active here.  It was amazing hearing from him again…   I signed up in 04 after coming over from the Charlotte.com boards and been here ever since.  (For those that don’t know - this is Proudiddy - had to change the name very recently due to ‘ol tootsie roll penis and the bad press 😂).  I’m forever thankful for all of you, even those who I haven’t had the greatest history with, I still appreciate yall.  Many have come and gone, both figuratively and literally, and that has put a lot into perspective over the years.  I went from a young, newly married, wide-eyed twenty year-old guy with a baby on the way, to a now forty-two year-old guy, recently divorced and newly re-married guy with my oldest baby now an adult and 5 more kids since.  And what ride it has been!  You guys have been a much bigger part of my life than I really care to acknowledge.😂

      A substack is a new deli item.  It's a layered creation in which the turkey, ham, chicken and liver mush are alternately placed between pancakes.  Lettuce and tomato are between the top two layers of flapjacks.
