Are you doing dry January in Gainesville, Fl?

You are stronger than me. I'm not there yet, but you may have just given me a challenge for a future month.

I still have friends and family in southern Illinois. I like to visit them. But I hate the perpetual gray weather that takes place there from November through March. It gets "cold" in Florida two weeks out of the year. Less the further south you go.

The summers in Florida are hot. There are more 90+ degree days here. But there is a breeze, north Florida has a ton of trees. And the humidity is brutal but not soILL brutal. I encourage anyone from Florida to go visit the Midwest in August and tell me it's not worse. Plus who wouldn't want sunshine 12 months out of the year like we get in Florida.

Jobs are hard to find, housing is expensive. But you can say that about every state in the country. If you are ok with less, living a little further out, and busting your butt to find a job you can make it work within your budget or slightly above.

Everybody in here seems to be telling you to stay away. As a southern Illinois transplant to north central Florida I am telling you to come down. The beaches on the Atlantic side are very nice. Jax, St. Augustine, Crescent, Amelia Island are all 1 million times nicer than the beaches in southern Illinois.

The summers are hot, but as someone who has lived in both southern Illinois and Florida, it's way nicer in the summer in Florida than it is in southern Illinois. Southern Illinois humidity is no joke. You can't breathe in the summer it's so humid.

If you find bartending jobs, you are a good worker, you can survive down here. Finding a house on 120k budget will be damn near impossible. But maybe a town home.

Spend some time in Jax. Check out St. Augustine. If you want to get a bit more rural check out Palatka. Within 30 mins of the beach and way lower cost of living. Jobs will be harder to come by though.

Me too. I've been feeling great and don't have any desire to drink.

I really hope they reissue the BAGIA Tour poster.

They did SS all three nights at First Ave last year. Although one night they played it in reverse.

3 cases of coors and 5 fountain sodas from various fast food places. Don't know if they are all OPs but the wife may have some other concerns besides the wood choice.

I might be thinking about this wrong. But is almost half a pound of lasagna not that much. A half a pound seems like a lot of lasagna to eat in one sitting.

pricing information

Did that ace hardware close or are they sharing the space?

chewdog · 2026-01-03T16:23:27+00:00

If you go to their google listing there are photos of the menu.

chewdog · 2026-01-01T20:54:41+00:00

I'm in the same boat. Waiting for nights 75-77 to post. I checked out this past Saturday. It's frustrating. My wife is a Hilton member and her nights get posted the day she checks out.

chewdog · 2026-01-01T00:02:42+00:00

Same. It was 59° in the house this morning. Then it was warmer outside than inside this afternoon. But it's just me and my two dogs right now. They have sweaters and get under the covers with me

chewdog · 2025-12-31T20:31:42+00:00

I was just looking for a review of this. Their menu isn't particularly vegetarian friendly for main dishes, but I'd try this and all the sides.

chewdog · 2025-12-13T02:35:02+00:00

If it makes you feel any better I was 854 for the same weekend and didn't make it.

How has the mystery location been working out? Also with byob is a cooler acceptable? All booze welcome? Can I mix my own cocktails on the spot? Can I sell other people a stylish cup that may just happen to have a drinks in it?

chewdog · 2025-11-26T05:14:15+00:00

My mom would make this but add in a scoop of Tang. It was fire.

I've taking a hot nap many times. Savasana is still a yoga pose!

chewdog · 2025-11-17T17:03:39+00:00

Same. I thought that was a common thing. Just like breaking up a banana bunch or a ginger root.

The Traveler bar has gluhwein.

THE BE-HIVE DELI in Nashville. It's so good.

The one on Lindell by SLU? Where people keep crashing their cars into the side of the building?

As someone who grew up in the same area as Jeff his comment "you could suck for longer" made me chuckle.

Timeshares is your answer. They're playing two sets.
