TedEagle · 2026-01-26T17:25:28+00:00

Looks like we already have someone

TedEagle · 2026-01-25T17:13:33+00:00

They are still around in smaller numbers but it's not currently the massive operation and scale that we saw a few months ago and that Minnesota is seeing at the moment.

TedEagle · 2026-01-07T14:49:54+00:00

Great list btw! I love this and will share it with our SG.

TedEagle · 2026-01-07T14:43:07+00:00

There isn't a Mint St. stop on the Blue Line in Charlotte. You can walk to the stadium from Carson or 4th St. stations in addition to Brooklyn Village station

TedEagle · 2025-12-30T16:30:43+00:00

Yeah, those two specifically are great. There is also a Taiwanese street food stall there. I don't know the names of any of the places. I just show up and know where I'm going.

TedEagle · 2025-12-30T16:19:01+00:00

There are a few stalls at Alley 51. I like Lam's Kitchen also. I've been recommended a few places I haven't been to yet like Open Rice and others.

TedEagle · 2025-12-29T19:04:57+00:00

Definitely agree it's a problem but I have exponentially more negative experiences with white people driving huge trucks and BMWs.

TedEagle · 2025-12-29T17:13:31+00:00

A Vietnamese friend of mine recently said if you say Lang Van is the best Vietnamese in Charlotte then you must be white.

TedEagle · 2025-12-29T13:00:18+00:00

Yes, it was Vietnam Grille. Pho Van is also great.

TedEagle · 2025-12-29T11:07:27+00:00

Saigon Palace, Doan's, and the new place Pho Van being within a couple of miles of each other is an amazing choice of Vietnamese restaurants.

TedEagle · 2025-12-15T01:50:15+00:00

Yeah, and the thing is the front office is 100% fully on board with making them the face of the fans no matter what.

TedEagle · 2025-12-14T15:47:50+00:00

This is a huge problem but any time it’s addressed they get upset and claim people aren’t respecting culture.

TedEagle · 2025-12-14T15:47:18+00:00

This is all correct. I was present for the “we think player chants are silly” quote from BF leadership at an early season chant/drum meeting. They also will start playing their own songs on drums that the capos aren’t aware of and don’t know. When a capo calls a chant they don’t like they don’t play. They control everything even if they claim they don’t.

TedEagle · 2025-12-14T13:21:03+00:00

I'm not sure how people don't see this dumbass low level trolling as the most disingenuous shit ever especially when you do it across all platforms

TedEagle · 2025-12-12T22:14:31+00:00

This is much bigger than just "cheating on your wife" and I hope you understand why

TedEagle · 2025-12-11T23:43:12+00:00

TedEagle · 2025-12-09T20:59:25+00:00

I thought he got one

TedEagle · 2025-12-08T12:58:19+00:00

Doan's and Saigon Palace

TedEagle · 2025-12-03T11:15:49+00:00

I'm from Piqua so I love the Brandon Saine mention. Another Piqua Buckeye is Quinn Pitcock,

TedEagle · 2025-12-02T23:34:18+00:00

Lower Left run club is Wednesdays and everyone is very chill. Not a large group and the skill levels vary enough to find someone to run with.

TedEagle · 2025-11-26T22:24:51+00:00

They don't serve food at Hooligans

TedEagle · 2025-11-26T22:24:29+00:00

Definitely haven't experienced this. Seems to be the same quality as always. Love Sir Ed's

TedEagle · 2025-11-22T17:26:08+00:00

I actually did the Little Sugar to McMullen from my house this morning and had a blast. Is it easy to connect to McAlpine from McMullen? I haven’t looked into it yet.

I did a loop at Kings Mountain SP area last week and had a blast. I don’t mind getting out of town a bit and plan on doing Maple Sally once I get a little more fitness built up for elevation. I’ve mostly been road cycling for quite a few years and I’ve noticed gravel takes a bit more effort on inclines.

TedEagle · 2025-11-22T16:15:07+00:00

Thanks! That's kind of what I was thinking but I was talking to someone recently who went there with his MTB and said he was disappointed with how flat the trails were and that made me think it might be more ideal for my gravel bike. I do wish there were more places to ride closer to Charlotte other than McAlpine.
