  1. It's just not much parking honestly. About 15 spots per block.
  2. I wonder if it might attract something cool... I think that's the point. I could see it turning into another entertainment district. Lincoln Road in Miami Beach pre-1960... "If you visit Lincoln Road in Miami Beach today, it’s a street lined with shops, restaurants, and art. We didn’t get a chance to walk its entirety, but we did break to have lunch and admire the surroundings. Being there, you could tell that at one point in time, it was a centerpiece for the city. It’s closed to cars and trucks now, but that wasn’t the case when it was originally built. Today, it’s one of the most well-known pedestrian outdoor malls in the country and is even used as a model by other developers looking to replicate the success. "
  3. I kind of love the idea and it makes me think of Lincoln Avenue in Miami Beach or Calle Floridita in Buenos Aires which are thriving with people... a lot you could do with those areas including making it more friendly to live music. I'm down. As for the parking spots, how many spots would you lose? If Google Street view is correct, it looks like you lose... - 15 spots between 7th and 8th - 6 parking spots between 8th and 9th - 13-15 parking spots between 9th and 10th (hard to tell with construction) - 18ish between 10th and 11th Not a massive amount
  4. Yeah, tell me about it. I got on a call with a customer and then saw a notification about a red card and a goal. WTF. No clue what happened...
  5. Been very pleasantly surprised by Italy's gradual improvement under Spalletti. Had France easily handled. 24' and we're up 2-0 on Belgium. I'm still shell-shocked from our post-Euro collapse and the WC misses but its progress.
  6. Friend in Naples confirmed that while he is without power, they are mostly fine. No update on friend in Bradenton. Need to check on someone who lives on Marco Island. He took it on the chin after Ian - hope he's OK.
  7. Yup... and I lived in Houston during Harvey, Memorial Day Floods, assorted deluges... what they got is a ton of rain. I had a chance to witness 5" of rain in one hour first hand which apparently happened in some spots in FL during this storm. No drains can handle it. Water rises immediately. Friends had cars and houses flooded in that quick burst of rain. I was standing outside literally yelling "JUST STOP!" Stop being a-holes. Just because someone's house burned down to the foundation doesn't mean they're cooler than the house that burned down but has a chimney left standing. Idiots.
  8. So funny. We were cracking up at that guy. Must have been high as a kite.
  9. LOL I was at Eggy, too. Were you up front recharging your crystal at Glass Beams.
  10. If I go this Saturday, I should be able to get access to the Miller Lite Lounge which means impossible to ignore the game
  11. Arguing with chainsaw... Spare yourselves I've put pimphand on ignore. Time to add someone else, it seems
  12. Hey tornados... cough cough... ahem...
  13. Yeah that's the thing... I'm waffling on going Saturday. Texas OU or ACL again. If I do ACL, I need to tell people who I know to not say anything about the game. I almost pulled it off 2 years ago until the end when someone told me 49-0. I watched the end of Texas OU waiting for Ben Kweller last year. My phone was about to melt in the heat.
  14. Was it last year and this year when certain races for Congress, judges, local officials in certain states showed Ds way outperforming polls? I'm trying to remember. I feel like there was a period where you would see someone polling maybe 4 points and then they'd win by 8 or something like that. Also, I know nothing at all about this race... this is NY 4 but how are races like this happening? I guess this is a seat that flipped last election but looks to flip back?
  15. I'm still trying to figure out who to see for Levitation. Will hit up BALTHVS at Waterloo this Friday. DJ Shadow later in the month Also, may jump on Blockhead... https://do512.com/events/2024/11/9/blockhead-tickets
  16. @jimmyjazz I got the billboard treatment from a friend after a poorly phrased comment in a WhatsApp group. If anyone is to blame its the guy who gave me the idea by raking me across the coals. Blame him.
  17. Yeah, I have been checking Google Maps and it looks like traffic on the roads is almost non-existent. One would think the bulk of people left so anyone leaving now while there is still time would be able to haul ass.
  18. Pretty crazy when you consider how far Weston is from the action.
  19. I think they finished building theirs in 2022 or so which would tell me its up to code but, man, cat 4 or 5, I don't know what to tell you. Family on the other side near Ponce Inlet should only have to ride out a cat 1.
  20. Any of you in Austin have a Saturday W2 wristband? Need to make my way back to Geese and Jungle.
