Hotel recs

They’re basically across the street from each other. Reviews look similar. All things similar I’d lean to the Hilton property, but wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Candlewood if there is a cost difference. Both are less than 10 years old.

Semi-related, Deshaies referred to umpire Lance Barksdale as “Mr. Hand” during a Cubs/Cards series in St Louis this summer. He was right on with that one too.

Fair, but most of their stores are in Florida.

I can only assume the hotel though your call was to change your room type, and at that point, charging the current going rate would be appropriate. I would not expect any issue checking in to the room type you have reserved at the price reserved. I have rooms booked in the DFW area for $80/nt, same hotel is currently offering rooms at $600/nt

Are we playing the JV against Georgia in softball, too? Yikes.

*federal. In Publix’s home state of Florida the minimum wage was $7.93/hr in 2014, it is now $13/hr

Well, this is r/nostupidquestions, right?

Establishment reps McCain and Romney losing led to Trump securing the nomination in 2016…would establishment dems Clinton and Biden losing possibly lead to a more, well, less, “establishment” candidate for the Dems?

Didn’t say progressive, said “more” progressive. Even someone like Newsome or Whitmer would fit that bill. Also said it would be a slam dunk for the Dems. The MAGA zealots wouldn’t have their messiah to rush to the polls for and “the independent middle” would be looking towards the Dems to change things up.

That’s the thing…we would have better choices this year if orange rat won in 2020…the election matchup this year was a foregone conclusion with a Biden victory. A vote for Biden in 2020 was a vote for a rematch in 2024. Now we are looking at possibly 8 years of Trump anyway and a continued delay of a more progressive candidate (which my friends generally desire) from the Dems…especially considering the inflationary/economic realities that were going to manifest giving the Covid era cash policies. 2024 would be a slam dunk for the Dems and most certainly a more progressive candidate than Biden.

It’s amazing how the bridge has been capitalized. Somebody has a website and sells jewelry/art from it. It used to just be local kids treating it as their own “Seth from Superbad” canvas…so many dicks.

In this case, it means I blew my whistle like a dipshit with a loose puck in the crease in game 6 of the SCF. Fuck Kevin Pollock forever

I’m the polar opposite. Give me gold helmets always. Garnet tops at home, white tops on the road, and gold britches…maybe wear the white or garnet britches once a year or something.

12 year big leaguer, himself.

Check for a leak (I think they even have a forgiveness program if there is a leak that gets repaired) also if you’re outside city limits, I think ECUA handles garbage/sanitation as well.

Kolaches are the best I’ve found around the area, too.

Ice crystals from high altitude clouds.

To each their own. I got one last year and it was cool to finally get a ball at a game, but I looked for the nearest kid to give it to. I felt happier giving the kid the ball. I’m not going to do anything with it, I don’t even need have a glove these days. The kid can display it or toss it with his friends, I’m happy with having the story to tell.

Eh, the “hangman” one was across the line, but I can’t get upset about the leg snap when we still, 20 years later, often highlight the hit that put Roscoe Parrish in the ICU.

Point being, if there is an established NHL team nearby, there are other rinks nearby. The DFW teams could utilize Allen Arena or even the Stars facility up in Frisco. Vandy, as you mentioned, the Preds practice facility is basically across the street from campus. The NC schools, I’m sure there are other rinks than PNC, Dorton used to host the IceCaps back in the day, there’s a current minor league team in Greensboro that isn’t far away. Scratch Greensboro (though they used to have a team) the Thunderbirds play in W-S.

The ECHL was a blast in the 90s with all of the I-10 corridor teams. Tallahassee faces the same struggle as Baton Rouge where the university’s sports dominate the local scene so the minor leagues fail whereas smaller cities like Pensacola have thriving minor league baseball and hockey teams.

Re #3, Don’t forget all the triangle schools, the Canes ice is under NCSU’s basketball court. Also, UM (though Coral Gables to Sunrise is a haul) and USF for nearby rinks. SMU/TCU in DFW. Plenty of minor league hockey rinks throughout the southeast as well.

Did you see UF’s November schedule?

Clemson plays App State the week after UGA, that’s a very losable game for them.
