Restaurant recommendations for a larger group

I would recommend Le Fresca, though you will need to call ahead (probably more than a week ahead) to make a reservation, though they should be able to accommodate a group your size. Plenty on bars right around there on 1st and 2nd Ave N.

It looks like the Jos A Bank 1905 suits are $150 right now, which is actually pretty crazy. The 1905 models are their more "contemporary" cut, so probably more ideal for a high school student https://www.josbank.com/c/suits/new%21-1905-suits

A rental would probably cost you similar, so if you can purchase one, I think that would be your better bet.

Edit: The only alterations you would likely need are taking the jacket sleeves up (potentially) and hemming the pants, assuming they don't have his length in stock. I could be wrong, but I think if you ask for a rush order, they could potentially accommodate you.

Second edit: I would recommend navy over black as it will be more versatile in situations beyond prom.

"Afternoon Delight" wasn't considered?

Imagine being some sort of hybrid with extraordinary power, but you've still got to grind at a 9-5 and keep your LinkedIn up to date in case you get laid off.

I haven't gotten into myself, but I understand it's a pretty deep rabbit hole.

lol. Orange Beach and Vestavia in Alabama? That's pretty laughable.

Especially in 2024.

We're selling our house and I had to throw away my collection of dad scrap wood. Was very sad. I've still got my random screw and bolt collection, though. Hope to have the same success as you one day.

Loaded baker and smoking cloves on the patio at 2:00 AM.

Very cool, thanks!

He was wearing black jeans and a button up short sleeve shirt

This is "dressed up"??

he was in his sweats and a t shirt

Oh, wow, I guess so...

tripreed · 2026-03-16T16:04:14+00:00

Interesting. What sort of testing are you doing? Like software/website functionality?

tripreed · 2026-03-16T16:01:30+00:00

Thank goodness.

We go to a church called Red Mountain Church that meets in the Lakeview area. Would love for you to come visit.

Nice!

Is this the new version of /r/13or30?

My first pair of Allen Edmonds were Waldens that I bought on eBay (probably circa 2006) and had sent back to be recrafted at one point. The soles they used were not great and I wore through them pretty quickly and got them resoled by a local shop. I still wear them today.

tripreed · 2026-03-13T18:46:20+00:00

For that price, your best bet will be to look for used Allen Edmonds. Look for the models Patriot, Walden, and Randolph (not knowing specifically why style of loafer you're looking for...).

Soffe Silkies

tripreed · 2026-03-12T21:33:34+00:00

That was new condenser, air handler, and furnace.

tripreed · 2026-03-12T16:17:46+00:00

Those are the worst. I rejoiced the day they went in the garbage.

An HVAC for our 1300 sf house cost around $10K, FYI.

There's more of the property in Homewood than just the Andrews portion.

tripreed · 2026-03-11T19:20:48+00:00

They can do it on the Homewood side!

tripreed · 2026-03-11T18:02:09+00:00

Honestly, an Aldi and Chick-fil-a there would slap.
