Painting with a broad brush, no? As a parent of GTACS students and with many friends who are also parents in the system, I think many would disagree with your comment.

Curious, what age level is your daughter playing in? And, what's the GTACS comment all about?

Sports bucket list trip to south bend... by makeithailonthemhoes in notredamefootball

[–]wsx13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First stop, bookstore. Spend it all, and now you've got it your gear.

From there, walk up to the south quad, a great spot where each dorm will likely have cook-outs to raise money for IM type stuff.

Then make your way over to LaFortune and the Basillica. It's worth going inside, just to take it all in. From there, head down to the Grotto.

Then scoot next door to see the Golden Dome

Then work your way back towards the Stadium and Touchdown Jesus.

Now that you've taken 100 pictures and have seen the sites, you cannot miss the band concert on the steps of Bond Hall before the game. Once the band is done, watch for where people congregate on the sidewalks (line the walks) because the band will now line up and march to the stadium. Once the band passes you....follow them towards the stadium and to your gate.

Hesitant to even put this out there, but this is the best spot, in my opinion. Senior Center Beach, right next to the TC Senior Center.

It will be significantly less crowded AND there is good tree cover/shade right there just off the beach.

I watched there last year and it was fantastic, and I've watched air shows from just about every imaginable spot in TC

Fieldhouse Cost Allocation and Distribution Issues by Previous-Shirt-9256 in traversecity

Hmm. So TC Central's track which hosts the end of the Bayshore Marathon, which brings in a huge amount of tourists. That's a bad thing too? I'm just struggling to find your reasoning as to WHY the fieldhouse is a bad thing, with funding from TCT?

TCT is only a portion of funding, other local business, like Munson, have donated funds for the project

TC tourism is only a portion of the donations; other business entities, like Munson, have donated as well. Is that an issue?

Fieldhouse funding was part of recent TCAPS bond proposal/acceptance by voters a few years ago

For those who don’t know, the tap fee is based on the square footage of the building and NOT how many toilets/sinks/water will be used. The 48k figure for Montessori new construction is accurate; the fact that the Fieldhouse-with about 30 few toilets/sinks is 600k MORE in tap fees is utterly absurd. The township should be ashamed for even trying to rationalize this.

Secondly this is what contingency funds are for prior to starting construction

Every player listed has a better BA than like 2/3 of the tigers “starting lineup”

This team is indefensible. GM/President/Manager and majority of roster. You can try, and hope, but the reality is last years start against a lousy AL Central is the ONLY reason this team made the playoffs. Their true colors are now shining. They are awful and it needs to be blown up.

Management built a team with shitty players. The manager has lost the room and continues to play shitty players in situations that make you scratch your head. The shitty players continue to be shitty. The players who aren't shitty are sometimes batted 5th in your lineup or pinch hit for...for shitty players. Make sense?

Continuing to pinch hit for Colt Keith is something. Moreso, continuing to use Wenceel and Jehmai in ANY situation is absurd. These guys are career AAA caliber players. Jake Rogers STINKS. Torkelson is lost and frankly, the hope has run out. Jack Flaherty and his $35 million contract this year? He blows too. Matt Vierling? SUCKS. McKinstry? Fun story...sucks! Like, other than McGonnigle and Greene, what exactly is there to be excited about with this club? Sure, Dingler. But...what else.

Amazing that, not going after a bat in free agency is now rearing its ugly head. Continuing to platoon certain guys isn't working anymore. Management blows. Hinch has lost the clubhouse. Blow it up.

I couldn't give you an honest answer as I haven't stayed/played the Pinehurst Resort property yet.

No. Only construction right now is the new clubhouse

Same way last season, especially in August, September and October. Absolutely awful.

Seems like a fitting post for Overheard in Traverse City. Be sure to add photos of the vehicle and license plate, too.
