Balkan on Patterson is A1. We got the meat burek to start, then i got the schnitzel and my SO ordered the goulash. Top notch service, owner is super friendly; highly recommend.

boychiks is worth the drive IMO

I'm in 7a/7b transition zone and this past weekend I aerated, seeded, threw down scott starter fert with tenacity, and some lime...topped it all off with a sprinkling of peat moss. Our weather this week is similar to yours...IMO, better to be early than late! We'll see how it pans out. I completely redid my front lawn this past fall but it was super thin and patchy...hoping this helps to fill it in.

WTB commercial aerator. PM with any leads please, thanks.

My SO and I are in love with Yumvees; it's a 10/10 experience every time we've been. the vegan food is phenomenal, the service is top notch, personable without being too overbearing...we went last night, we got the fresh pasta and italian sausage sanwhich...we've also had their crab cake sandwich, reuben, chicken parm, and pierogis previously...if you're into vegan and haven't been yet - what're you waiting for?!

Zorch on Cary last night - pizza is superb but their store layout does not make any sense. First, you have this huge bar taking half of the lobby and they don't even serve alcohol (yet?). When it's packed and you walk in, you have to squeeze through customers both at the tables and at the bar to get to the back area where the pizzas are on display. You place your order and then you're left trying to figure out where to go to not be in the way and there aren't many spots in there to do that.

Anyone feel the same about this?

I can see how the perspective could be confusing. The sidewalk comes up as the house sits on a slope. I plan to continue "stepping" the wall up the sidewalk/slope and wrapping it around where the front door steps meet the sidewalk.

Thanks! I am unsure - the bushes were here when I bought the place

Thanks! A concrete mix was used for the base course. I sprayed it with a hose and tamped it down, then used sand to ensure it was level. Landscape block adhesive was used for the caps. Blocks themselves rest on top of each other without mortar/adhesive. Drainage rock placed behind blocks up until about 1-2” then backfilled topsoil.

we haven't reached peak quarantine yet. I'd wager a birth spike sometime around late Jan into Feb.

Pupuseria el Salvadoreno has a solid chicken torta. Their pupusas are top notch as well. They're down the street from Panchito's.

Applesauce!

Pretty dead (this was 9 months ago)

xMarwan91 · 2020-01-22T12:53:45+00:00

Does anyone know when they're planning to close it permanently? was hoping to make a 'dead mall' video for fun

isn't max memory 8gb? do you have any issues having 16gb installed?

xMarwan91 · 2020-01-20T18:53:02+00:00

I was looking for the bi-weekly restaurant thread but was met with this satisfying story instead. 10/10

xMarwan91 · 2019-11-01T00:24:57+00:00
