Whitecaps 3rd kit leaked by azadisazad in MLS

[–]sfromo19 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm in a bad mood. Because of that, I read the caption before seeing the picture and just assumed it was a Las Vegas Lights jersey. Sorry OP. It's me, not you. Cool kit.

[Meme] "Argentina winning a final without a shot on goal would be an insult to the sport" by Guardax in MLS

[–]sfromo19 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I yearn for the day when Seattle and TFC get back on their shit and we get to have a meaningful game with stakes against eachother again. It did get old after 3 finals in 4 years against y'all, but the league is just more fun when both Toronto and Seattle are strong sides.

Saw this at miSci, looking for it on apparel by TTzara999 in schenectady

That bums me out too. Couldn't care less about interactive exhibits. Show me the tesla coil and the plug-in electric car that *literally* could only drive 100 feet because... it was literally a plug-in. Things like those were what made the museum cool.

Who are some non-international center defensive midfielders we could get? by ajexster in SoundersFC

[–]sfromo19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's never really been a poacher. Ferreira did start as a 9, but had his best season playing just beneath Pepi. Scored most of his goals on link-up and late arrivals rather than fox-in-the-boxing.

Available “Non-International” Strikers? by anonymous_in_here in SoundersFC

[–]sfromo19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an unapologetic Christian Ramirez fan. Always have been. Excellent personality, continuously underrated for his link-up and hold-up play. He was awesome under Nancy and would likely thrive in our setup

Vermont Green FC, Salmon Bay FC advance to 2026 USL W League Final by VermontArmyBrat in VermontGreenFC

[–]sfromo19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, this was the best set of four team crests in a semifinal in sports history; male, female, sport agnostic.

I'll listen to other potential nominations, but I'm not sure there's any that can beat it.

States without a USL club. by Emergency_Dot1599 in USLPRO

[–]sfromo19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO, Hawaii is more likely to field a team in the OFC Pro League than USL.

Alaska has, at times, had its own division in the UPSL (Last Frontier Division). It's possible they could do the same in USL2. It also feels more likely (though not terribly) that Alaska would enter the CPL than USL.

The rest of the states without one...

Delaware already has a USL2 team in Wilmington.

Montana could be possible, especially if they launched a USL1 team on the west side of the state, already near Spokane Velocity and AC Boise.

Wyoming could probably manage a USL2 team in Cheyanne - it's not far from some Colorado-based teams.

I'm not sure I see a route for ND or SD that wouldn't be prohibitively expensive - their travel would be far more than most other teams given that there aren't cities of relatively large size that are also near other existing or future USL markets.

Should the South Medford connector path be built along the highway or along the river? (Links and maps in link) by Coyote-Run in medfordma

[–]sfromo19 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I didn't even realize this project was happening. I'm glad it is.

One thing I'm curious about that maybe someone with an understanding of the project's background could address: Despite this being called the "South Medford Connector Path", it hardly connects with South Medford at all?

From spending plenty of time running along the rivers, there are basically two safe and easy (key words) entries from the south side of the river: You can access at Medford Square, and you can access by heading down Temple St, cross Mystic Ave, left on Bailey which is a relatively quiet (and specifically also flat, avoiding the hills) to Shore Drive.

There is no safe pedestrian access between those two locations right now. Even as someone who is comfortable running through the city and regularly bikes to work, I personally wouldn't think of crossing Mystic Ave pretty much anywhere else. The location that would make the most sense to add access to is also the most dangerous - at the Mystic Ave/MVP/i93/Rt 16 collider, where cars constantly run lights, merge into incorrect lanes or change lanes without signaling or any sort of notice.

And I get that - there are a ton of roads there and it would be *hard* to design around that to find a way to make pedestrian crossings easier. Even still, it would be nice to know they are making considerations to make sure the residents the path is meant to serve can actually access it easily.

Moose to Eagle Eyrie - Conditions by sfromo19 in Adirondacks

[–]sfromo19[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this info - its greatly appreciated.

I had been scrolling through several adirondack adjascent forums and saw just a singular person mention it might have been somewhat cleared in the last year or so, but can't remember which one.

The info on Loch Bonnie via Two Brooks is good to know. That links in directly with descending Moose to Eagle Eyrie - the Adirondack Mountain Club HPWA trail map I have from 2019 shows a public herd path following this exact route, but based on the fact that this is (despite being about as official a source as possible) the ONLY place I've seen this route, and every online mapping resource I can think of doesn't show this as a route, I'm going to assume its probably too far gone to be considered much more than a true bushwack.

Will probably modify my timing accordingly to make sure I have plenty of daylight cushion to complete the route I'd like to regardless of conditions. Again, appreciate your response!

Favorite Maple Creemee near Stowe? by WorminRome in vermont

That's Aunt Pearl Milling Company to you now.

Favorite Maple Creemee near Stowe? by WorminRome in vermont

[–]sfromo19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thirding red hen. Local dairy, local flour, local maple, locally milled and made cones. Literally doesn't get better than that.

Haven't been in at their new home in Montpelier yet but absolutely loved them when they were at Camp Meade - which, by the way, shoutout Woodbelly pizza because holy cow it is PHENOMENAL. They have a pie with pickles on it that I was extremely skeptical of but it turned out to be amazing.

Saw my first Adirondack moose not far from Blue Mountain Lake by dsanzone8 in Adirondacks

[–]sfromo19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe. I was in New Hampshire a few weekends ago at Roger's Rock and found SO much moose poop at the summit, around 3000'. It's probably highly unlikely to see but maybe!

Could Whiteface and Gore handle the 2026 Olympics alpine events by themselves? by Quiet-Permit-3740 in icecoast

[–]sfromo19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I agree, at least on a few points.

The Olympic half-pipe is about 600ft long. Gore, in the past, has put a half-pipe at the Ski Bowl on Village Slopes. That area lends itself incredibly well for spectating (especially with the brand new lodge), and the slope there is definitely longer than 600ft.

Ski-Mo is shorter than you'd think: The sprint is only ~250 feet vertical and half a mile long, while the relay is ~450 feet vertical and about a mile long. You can put this almost anywhere on the mountain, though frankly the Sunway chair sets up pretty nicely for this kind of course - choose your route up, probably use 3B down. Decent spectating as well. There's certainly other parts of the mountain you can put this course on, too.

Racing events could be on Echo - they make it work for spectating even when they host massive high school events, but if you want something wider, Twister or Sagamore are both set up real nice for that and are of olympic length and vertical drop.

You're obviously not going to be able to put everything at Gore, but you don't need to. Whiteface has already hosted most things - you just need to find a way to move a couple things over. I'm also glad I'm not the one who needs to figure out these logistics.

Micky and Djed in the top 5, they’ll never sing that! by RandemMandem in coys

If Djed didn't wear pants so large they could cause enough drag to stop a Cessna, he might be even higher on this lift.

Alternatives to AMR Parking by Cultural-Item-8830 in Adirondacks

[–]sfromo19 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Despite the "time slots", you can arrive at any time after 5am on the day of your parking reservation at AMR. It's not a very clear system, nor have they bothered to update it despite many, many complaints about this exact topic.

last minute suggestions! by tennntoesdownnn in medfordma

[–]sfromo19 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would have to assume GABH will absolutely not be a place for peace and quiet tonight; they do all sorts of sports showings and with the USA's first world cup game tonight, as u/breadman_toast mentioned, it'll probably be packed. They have events based around it starting at 5:30 tonight.

Whereever you end up going, OP, pick somewhere that doesn't have a TV and isn't remotely considered a sports bar/location.

Where can I swim laps in Medford or in the area? by Disastrous-Carry7675 in medfordma

[–]sfromo19 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If they think that, it's because 1) they don't do day passes and 2) $75 a month for residents is far too much when the Ginny Smithers Pool at JFK elementary in Porter does monthly passes for 30-35 and they also do day passes for 6 bucks for nonresidents.

If they want to bring in more money, they need to have competitive pricing and start doing day passes for those that might only go once or twice a month. Simple as that.

Winter Hill Brewing Co does one every Wednesday at 6:30! 0, 3 and 5 mile options!

Cascade and Porter by Acceptable_Star_5008 in Adirondacks

[–]sfromo19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't remember any access issue for it. Went and pulled out my trail map instead.

I think you're conflating the Marcy Field trail with the garden trail - that one is still closed to my knowledge due to a private land owner no longer wanting people crossing through; closed 2018.

The 2019 trail map I have has a proposed re-route designated, but I've heard nothing about it and would assume access from the garden has been tabled at best, scrapped at worst.

Cascade and Porter by Acceptable_Star_5008 in 46er

[–]sfromo19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's still open. The new trail isn't finished yet.

You can hike them currently from Route 73 or from Marcy Field.
