    Keeping the natty train rolling this weekend.

    Have not seen Eric Pfifferling’s stuff stateside in a long, long time. Juice from an eccentric old man in Tavel, imo. Damn.
  3. We’reTexas
    Speaking of…
  4. We’reTexas
    Thanks, came through restaurant so was hoping for a deal, but turns out not the case. Agree if I were making such purchases (and had such opportunities!) I’d go with Overnoy, but I’m not. Especially when Labet and Tissot are still like 1/20th the price.

    Yeah there aren’t really any casual music spots uptown in that vein. Maybe Bon Temp on Mag or Chloe/columns on St Charles? WWOZ Livewire is the central repository for all music bookings in the city. Check that out.

    Anyone ever able to try Domaine de Miroirs? Have access to some ‘13 and ‘14s that came into town. Pricing is beyond absurd for Jura but they are on my bucket list and I’ve never seen them in the wild…

    If you’re going up to Ridge, Unti is a good property to stop by on the way.

    Importer/distributor are for me the biggest proxy for quality if I don’t know the producer.
  9. We’reTexas
    France, and maybe some Italy, imo.

    It’s driven mainly by natives leaving due to housing crisis and lack of job opportunities that can afford said housing crisis.

    Who is distributing her stuff in Texas? I almost never even see it in the Bay.
  13. We’reTexas
    And get charged for crossing all four quadrants, of course!

    Georgetown was the epicenter of nightlife during the Bush administration but has long since fallen out of favor as the city gentrified eastward. I was as much of a Glover Park douchebag as one could be back in the day but even I was eventually trying to bang hipster chicks in the basement of Saint Ex.
  15. We’reTexas
    I just checked and Lauriol Plaza is somehow still in business? Now that is a blast from the past.
  16. We’reTexas
    Prices are for sure sustainable but well-functioning communities? Yeah, with you there.

    I suppose I misread your post, but I was simply pointing out that VHCOL cities have generic suburbs too, and these burbs are increasingly the only hope for homeownership for families without generational wealth or a liquidity event. Consequently, many choose to move. Hence, the subject of this thread.
  18. We’reTexas
    Eh, not sure about that. Metropolitan areas include suburbs, and while the suburbs in these areas are more on the old small towns-engulfed-by-growth side of the spectrum, they are still for the most part very much suburbs. Since this has turned into a TX vs CA thread: we’ve always felt that if we couldn’t live in San Francisco proper we’d just move back to Texas or New Orleans. With a few exceptions, the S.F. and SJ metro areas are suburban strip mall sprawl, and often with weather nearly as bad as Texas. NIMBYism has driven homeownership away from the middle class and Prop 13 has starved municipalities of funds to support education and infrastructure. I can’t blame folks wanting to raise kids in decent suburbs with public schools for simply opting for an analogue in Circle C or Plano or wherever.

    What in the actual fuck is this about? Was in Austin last week and wine/cocktails at the hipster spots were easily $17+. Same in Houston.
  20. We’reTexas
    Yes, Bay Area/NYC is highest pay zone. At our company Austin would be a 20% cut, and I’d say that’s standard for FAANGs and other big tech cos.
  21. We’reTexas
    Which Liuzza’s?

  23. We’reTexas
    Yep, it’s just supply and demand. Crackdown on prescription opioids sent prices up and people to heroin, crackdown on heroin sent prices up and dealers cutting with fentanyl. At this point in the crisis addicts buy it as a standalone product.
  24. We’reTexas
    Same. It’s been the greatest indignity I’ve suffered in my life.
  25. We’reTexas
    Sure, but I’m talking about open air drug markets like the Tenderloin or Skid Row; no one goes to these places for drugs without an addiction in the first place. What I’m saying is these are now, and have been for a few years, blatant fentanyl markets, and it is a totally fucked situation with a massive overdose crisis.
