Duke Energy, Ally, and a couple others are all working from home. I know a medical group who moved their drs to other locations

BOA had made arrangements to move a bunch of their employees to space in Ballantyne. Then Hillary/Bill decided to stay in Ballantyne and we have road closures as well.

Like a dumbass I decided to go downtown for my normal lunchtime run. After viewing the street closing map, I decided to take the train. It wasn't that bad except finding parking was pretty much impossible (parked illegally at the Scalybark station). Train was packed with media, volunteers, etc. Went for my run, cops and helicopters everywhere. Taking the train back was not bad, and there was some exceptionally hot ass to view as well.

My "lunch hour" took two hours though. And I fell in front of Amos' Southend. They had these screens set up for some private party and they blocked the sidewalk. Jumping over some sandbags, I busted my ass. I will require the services of an attorney.

Michelle Obama and kids.....Hillary/Bill are staying at the Ballantyne Lodge (corner of Ballantyne Commons and Ballantyne Corp Place).

This is the reason that Ballantyne Commons is clsoed between Community House and Johnston Rd....and the reason that Ballantyne Corp is closed from the bridge crossing Johnston down to Ballantyne Commons.

My office is on Ballantyne Corp and I can look out my sindow and see the check point.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
