We all need to have a FReeper meeting for those in the Raleigh area.

Personally, I am an hour away (Rocky Mount), but go to Raleigh quite a bit.
It would be lots of fun... just so long as mykdsmom & I are allowed to drink a beer or six... LOL

[pamlet]

My gosh - is Milton's still at 6 Forks? We would go get pizza there over 12 years ago!!

[SirAllen]

Lots!

And Milton's is awesome, I try to get there once a week or so.

[blackbag]

interesting for sure .... I was several miles away when
this happened.... hehe

[Howlin]

Oh, yeah! That's the FIRST place we found when we moved to Raleigh last May!

[blackbag]

NC Chapter use to meet at Blincos.... Great Sports Bar..
One block from my house.... handy !

[Constitution Day]

...this is an election year!

Whoa there... not till the NC Supreme Court says it is!

[Howlin]

BTW, The Forum, where this happened, is right on the other side of where the Kmart is, if it was there 12 years ago!

Are you still in NC?

[Helms]

Recall the mail bomb at BTI a number of years ago?

[Overtaxed]

I'm 40 minutes away (from home) and maybe 20 minutes (from work) depending on traffic.

[Constitution Day]

I was several miles away when this happened....

Oh, yeah, suuure... You never see Clark Kent when Superman is around, either...

[Howlin]

We do, too! You should put an NC flag on your profile page so we'll know where to find you when we start to get together!

[Constitution Day]

You know, he's probably not going to pay you any mind now... LOL

[Howlin]

Yes, I do......and not too long ago, the weapons down on Atlantic Avenue, and the escaped murderer at the Red Roof Inn........what the heck is going on here?

[Howlin]

I try..........LOL.

You can spend the night here if you have more than two beers!

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

I knew right away this couldn't be a terrorist act. They said they would strike at the heart of America. If a parking garage is the heart of America, then urban sprawl is worse than I thought. Of course, I work in Hartford, Connecticut, where they recently tore down a parking garage, to replace it with...a parking garage. Gotta love those visionaries!

[Constitution Day]

Ping!

[pamlet]

I thought that was the complex - it was pretty new back then.

Nope - I live in Texas now - but am in Butte, MT on business at the moment.. laugh

We lived a number of places around Raleigh - but at one time lived south of Strickland on 6Forks. We rented a guest house on a 10 Acre estate... that was kinda fun!

[Constitution Day]

Why thank you! That is very kind.

[Constitution Day]

Sounds good.

You missed the last time we got together - so you have to be there this time!
I promise to keep the Hobbit Hole jokes to a bare minimum.
