Show Off Things From Other Cities

This sounds pretty awesome and I’m sure the views will be beautiful too. Looks like they are going to begin construction on an almost 20 mile greenway connecting downtown Hendersonville and downtown Brevard. Sounds sort of like the American Tobacco Trail around here aka using an abandoned railway line for the trail. This will be called the Ecusta Trail.

Coming soon: 20 mile mountain walkway, reports Business NC | WRAL TechWire

I’ll be honest, I love Alamo’s pizza. It’s bad in the exact crispy, salty way that just hits right. I feel like most cheap pizza is doughy and mushy, and it happily avoids that.

Careful - if you treat it as too much of a sure thing, it surely will never be built :rofl: :grimacing:

That seems to be our only hope in the current funnel. Let’s not jinx it as @Jake points out.

The sky is bluer, the trees taller, the grass greener in beautiful Chatham County. With all of the wealthy Wake county residents moving this way a Gucci store will soon follow.

This is kind of cool.

We could have one between Raleigh and Durham.

Or Raleigh and Charlotte so we could be jealous of how cool everyone there is.

Or Raleigh and Miami so John could always see his second home.

No guy wires to resist the pulling force on an end run.

Lets what you guy think about this one

My power line is the end of a loooong run, and has two supporting wires down into the middle of my backyard. I wonder if I can get Alabama Power to swap them out. Bwahahaha, as if. Maybe after the next tornado . . .
