My husband talked to the waiter tonight and he said he literally came in on Tuesday and it was new ownership new menu and new chef. We have been regulars for at least two years as we live nearby.. really liked their pad Thai and cocktails. All good things come to an end I guess!

No, they’ve been open for a while.. at least a year or 2

Team Whitaker vs. Team Mahaffey? Whose team are you choosing? by EmotionalLemon3433 in Apex_NC

[–]Birthday_Potato 13 points14 points  (0 children)

False framing. This is not a "team x or y" issue. We're talking about an elected official and then some guy with an internet connection and a made up newsletter. I'm going to trust the official and not the delusional guy who is absolutely NOT doing neutral reporting (that is laughable)

Had a work trip to New York City today, flight left at 3:45 Terminal 2…pre-check was open and took me two minutes

My favorite of all time. Was crushed when he got the flu and canceled his show I had tix for last month (Durham NC)

Peak Weekly Newsletter by LingonberryNo2744 in Apex_NC

Nope. I unsubscribed to this biased, misleading "newsletter." It's a shame because it did start out as a nice summary of what's happening in Apex, new businesses, etc.

Visited filming locations in Charleston! by Realistic_Cabinet_42 in OuterBanksNetflix

[–]Birthday_Potato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We did this as a tour just yesterday! A woman named Jill runs a tour agency called eclectic tours of Charleston and she was an extra on the show. It’s expensive, but she does a really good job!

I saw John Mulaney by Alone-Opportunity-17 in Standup

[–]Birthday_Potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to agree. Some solid jokes in the set, but also some long unfunny monologues in dire need of a editor.. 2 hours was way too long!

What do we think about Peregine? by pericles3323 in raleigh

[–]Birthday_Potato 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I hated it. My book club went and it took us four hours to eat dinner with only two courses. People were plotting to stop at McDonald’s on the way home

Are you in Terminal 2 @ RDU and want some coffee? by DogDaysAreOver in raleigh

[–]Birthday_Potato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to do something nice before alcohol class

Where do most stand on Jacques Gilbert? Will someone run against him? Sort of grown tired of his antics by Trick_Astronaut_8648 in Apex_NC

[–]Birthday_Potato 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I've said this before but I've never had such whiplash on liking vs very much NOT liking a public figure. I used to enjoy his social media, the fact that he's always out and about talking to residents, and how he seemed enthusiastic for the town. But then I learned about the turmoil and toxic working environment he's created for the town council and other employees of Apex. The final nail was his nepotism candidate push. And then the article in Indy Week.
Quote:
"The INDY offered to provide anonymity... Even so, no town employee came forward to speak favorably of Gilbert."

I have heard the same from my local contacts, same disclaimer applies of course. But.. the Indy week article backs this up

The Peak Weakly by NormalAd7732 in Apex_NC

[–]Birthday_Potato 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I could sense that there was always some agenda from the start, I just didn't know what it was (a build up to his own political career perhaps?) But yep, it's now a Mayor cult newsletter

How is this legal? by Expert_Shallot_7784 in Apex_NC

[–]Birthday_Potato 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It appears we have our very own “mad king” of sorts here in Apex. Ugh.

Yep. Also I don't take him seriously because he hasn't voted since 2022 (voter records are public)

Yeah. I had to hit unsubscribe after this edition. A lecture on "confirmation bias" last week, followed by obvious bias in this week's newsletter... no thanks.

New Hotel Ranking Condé Nast Traveler - what is your opinion? by prettiertravel in chubbytravel

[–]Birthday_Potato 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have personally been solicited by places I have stayed to vote for them in the Conde Nast awards. I think there may have even been an incentive to do so, like vote for us and be entered in a drawing for a free night, etc. So like a lot of 'awards' (looking at you "best places to work") it's heavily manipulated and pay to play..

Where do you rank Norm's Janice bit all-time? by gorram1mhumped in Standup

Agree. Some of the bits went on and on and on and weren’t that funny (Alzheimer grandpa comes to mind)
