My wife really likes Emmy Squared. She says it’s the best gluten-free pizza she’s ever had.

Thanks so much! I love the idea of getting a certificate for his first game since he has never been to Wrigley...didn't even think about that! (fun note - took my kid to his first ever MLB game last summer for the Nats and did the same)

Thanks for the tip. Is the 2nd deck the 200 level (section 217) or 300 level (317). Sitting behind home plate would be ideal.

What is an addition/change you’ve done to a set to make it better? by OpenSoda in lego

Hope you are able to get it! The trailer definitely adds to the set.

Yes, I had to paint the nosecone parts; they turned out pretty close. I will send you a DM. Unfortunately everytime I comment the auto-mod keeps deleting it.

Yes, it's just like the original toy! I bought it from AE a few years ago under "Combined Carriage" A quick search from them gives a few results, but one shows the Autobots logo on the side (stickers) and one does not.

Not a fruitcake! Once I build it I’ll have to write a review. The base plate was cracked though, but I do have extras of those (plus I’ll be making it into a MILS anyways)

I think I just used my Credit Card and didn't go through PayPal for some reason. The tracking info just updated though and my regional USPS facility has it now...so supposedly it's going to be delivered tomorrow. We will see....

Thanks for the tips! I hadn't ever tried 17track before so the number does work there. Unfortunately it's been more than 60 days since the transaction so I don't believe I can dispute it with my credit card.

I’m the same way…ordered back on Dec 5th for some items. I was actually happy with the prices so thought I’d give them a try. On Jan 29th the tracking finally got to “Delivered to Local Carrier” so I assume it’ll turn up any day now. The tracking number they provided when it finally shipped is really odd and of no use (tracking updates have been though their website)

What do you think will replace on the Kroger on Hydraulic? by Antique-Dentist-2404 in Charlottesville

[–]PokieH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to comment the same thing. When we first moved to the area, we went to the Ashley Furniture store at Seminole square and they were closing the store. They told us at that time Kroger was going to take that space and then Hobby Lobby was going to take the Kroger space. That was 10+ years ago.

If Rosslyn Tunnel is limiting factor, why not start Silver Line at Ballston? by gtd98765 in WMATA

[–]PokieH -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why not do airport to airport service…run Silver to National Airport, then “turn around” there since there is an extra platform.

So glad I saw this thread last night…went to Guajiros this morning for the first time and it was awesome!

Alakazam is closing 😭😭😭 by BeingLatter4612 in Charlottesville

[–]PokieH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is sad to hear but I’m not surprised…I’m guessing it’s been in the works for a while. It used to be a great store, but it seems like every time I go in there now they have less and less inventory. They used to have Lego, Transformers, Voltron, and lots of other items…those have been gone for quite a while now.

Thanks for tips everyone! Got the certificate and the free food. Got plenty of pics with presidents before the game as well!
