After decades of being a local family-owned joint - last year, the place that's been super-friendly to us local Panthers fans near Perimeter Mall was sold to new ownership.

So I just poked my head into the place to see if they'll be as warm and welcoming to us taking over that front TV spot like we've been doing.

The response? "We're no longer a Carolina Panthers bar."

So that begs a question: where do y'all want to go now to watch the games?

Do we go to that bar anyway and say "screw it", or do we find a new place? If it helps, I drove over to one of their other locations that used to be Panther-friendly, and the staff there said, "sure!!! Come on by and we'll probably even throw the game up on one of the two giant projector screens; you might not get sound, but we'll get the game on for you somewhere - we've got plenty of TVs here."

Unless you guys have better suggestions and location scouting reports.

take that poo over.. coordinate on here and social media.. fug the falcons

The bitch about it is that the old place (multiple locations) was really more of a locals place where everybody knew each other, the bartenders bought rounds of drinks, the owner came by to say "hi", the waitstaff knew our regular orders, there was good-natured ribbing between the different fanbases that called the place home (one guy: "Ladies and Gentlemen, the NEW YORK fugIN' GIANTS!" // the entire rest of the bar: "Shut up, Charles").

With new ownership? Not so much. You can't get that at Generic Sports Bar

Yeah - we saw that was coming a little at the end of last season when the new owners took over w/ the new menu in Nov/Dec-ish.

I'm going to try the Spalding location for today until we figure out future weeks.

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
