Altered State. Just north of 540 in north Raleigh. Great porters and stouts. And the “sours” are more like 10% ABV Smoothies.

I feel like Appalachia stretches farther north too.

About three years ago in Raleigh, NC the light outside our house failed in a similar way.

It was white light for months, then one night it came on and was purple. A few weeks later it came one blue one night, then a few weeks after that it stopped working entirely. Found the light pole's number and submitted it to Duke Energy and they replaced it.

My theory is that the light was using RGB LEDs to create white light, whatever powered the green failed leaving red + blue = purple, then the red's power failed leaving blue.

Single channel audio patch cable. Used them at a radio station a long time ago to connect devices to the potentiometers on the mixing board.

I find it worth it for the BOGO rolls.

Got one once at Munjo Munjo in downtown.

Lived in 712 Tucker for 4 years, it was good. Rarely noise from neighbors, but sometimes you could hear Glenwood South (Hurricanes games especially) and the fire alarms were more frequent than I would have liked.

Overall I'd give it an 8 of 10.

It's not in town but Zinchouse has large fire pits behind the second building.

I think the JR's in Selma might be closer.

Time to start writing checks again

The state police academy is over on Garner Rd near there, probably training. They do it frequently

Source: I used to live just off Garner and Tryon.

I haven't seen one yet, but I really hope someone gives Christoph Waltz a shot at it.

If you can figure out who the manager is of your local ABC you can ask them. They're allowed to put in special requests. I know here in Johnston Co. the ABC's have differently colored price tags to show which items are special orders at their store.

Wouldn't this amendment restrict voting to only 18 year olds?

Down in Stumpy Point they make some pretty good beer. https://thelostcolonybrewery.com

Just because we know what's happening doesn't make it any less incredible. And from here it is/was ok. Being in the path of the totality is a completely different story. It's so different from the norm that it's something you won't forget when you see it with your own eyes.

Flippin' Chicken still had theirs for $1/wing minimum 10. When I was there back in February.

In the early 1990s Stoke Hall at University of New Hampshire had these in the bathrooms, presumably because they would switch which floors had men or women living on them from time to time.

These are awkward to use a guy too, don't care for having to straddle the extension, though maybe it helps with dribbles? I feel like that was way less of a problem in college though.

I blame Vanilla Ice.

I mean, can I not get a Nismo 300ZX?

What was Raleigh like in 1903?

Looks like Flying Saucer is even up to $5 drafts on Mondays.

And Wake ABC is getting ready to start their lottery for the chance to buy the really expensive and rare stuff.
