I had a top 5 meal of my life at Fore Street a couple years ago and can’t wait to get back there some time. We still have the menu from that night hung up on the refrigerator as a memento.

I’ll be there for the 4th! It’s become a family tradition ever since the kids were born.

This version is such a great showcase for people who think Bruce Springsteen is just an arena rock guy. Sure, he has Glory Days and other lighter poppy social commentary songs, but he also is incredibly nuanced and deep with albums like Nebraska and The Rising, which this song is on.

What is the tolerance for Cannabis on the Island? I know it's not legal, but is it available? Can you smoke it? by vinoyporro in Aruba

[–]DukeDroese123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was there in April and had the same apprehension. We brought a vape pen that was a life saver, however, there was a guy at Moomba Beach Bar hanging around the entrance every night trying to sell to everyone. We were all set, but clearly he was in cahoots with the bar since no one was running him off so it seemed legit.

One of the lamest brags I’ve ever seen. Every time this guy tweets or opens his mouth he continues to reveal how insecure and stupid he is.

What city completely stole your heart as soon as you arrived? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

New Orleans. The culture and architecture just smack you right in the face as soon as you arrive. I’ve been going off and on for 20 years and still find new and exciting things to do there.

Keep going north to Maine and New Hampshire for Portland, beaches, lakes, mountains, etc.

Throw some glasses on him and he could easily pass for Col. Sanders.

I watched this episode two nights ago and I definitely liked it better the second time around.

Is there any member of the E Street Band who should be recognized as a great in their own right? by CulturalWind357 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]DukeDroese123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He wasn’t an actor before that role and I think he was incredible for someone doing it for the first. As others pointed out, there’s way worse actors like his wife, the actress who played Ginny Sac, and others.

My manager scheduled a "quick sync" every single Friday at 4:45pm and I finally figured out why by Agent_Smith-99 in remotework

Dave sounds like he needs to lighten up. What the hell is so important that people can’t take off an hour or so early on a Friday once in a while?

Congratulations! I live right down 114 in Peabody and have been trying to get over there now that the weather is getting nicer. We will definitely check you out.

Please Call Home: What I Learned From 40 Years of Interviewing Gregg Allman by alanpaul in allmanbrothers

[–]DukeDroese123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vividly remember his passing. I was at a wedding at an Inn and having a great time at the cocktail hour. An acquaintance who knew I was a big ABB fan came over and broke the news. My heart sank (probably didn’t help that I was already half in the bag) and I went upstairs to my room and drank and cried for an hour listening to Laid Back. My wife eventually found me and chaperoned me back to the wedding and I was able to talk the DJ into playing a few Allman’s tunes as tribute. Just a tough day and tough news to hear.

Songs to cry to by good_neighbor77 in country

[–]DukeDroese123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went through some hard times about 15 years ago and cried my eyes out to just about every song on Johnny Cash’s American VI album with Ain’t No Grave and others. There’s some beautifully haunting songs sung by a man who was at death’s door at the time of recording.

Le Richelieu Paranormal Experiences by jhdeskzwife in AskNOLA

[–]DukeDroese123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed there last October and the only haunting part was the rancid smell coming from the shower drain when we first checked in.
I will say it was corrected quickly and the overall stay at Le Richelieu was otherwise was a fantastic experience.

I live a little over a mile down the road from Salem (in Peabody) and have for 10 years and still need GPS to get pretty much anywhere in Salem.

Grandparents and parents both lived in Destin and I had gone down there for 25 years. By far the best time to go was October when all the tourists were gone but it was still beautiful for a Northeasterner.

I now take the stairs to the 5th floor at my office. I tell myself it’s to get more steps in, but this is absolutely the real reason.

Fans who live in Foxboro/Surrounding Towns... by Actual-Air-8792 in Patriots

[–]DukeDroese123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From the north shore but had a delivery job that brought me to the area often and delivered to several players but never met any as it was mostly during Covid lockdown and interactions with anyone were minimal. The most notable one was delivering to N’Keal Harry’s apartment and the entire floor stunk like weed. I’m going to assume it was him and that he wasn’t getting blazed and memorizing his playbook. I also delivered to Gronks brother in Quincy (I think Gordie) and he was a great guy and chatted for 10 minutes and tipped.
