what restaurant?... I drive around Staunton several times every month on my way to/from Highland County and Henrico County. There was a decent microbrew on the bypass that I frequented (forgotten name) but unfortunately the head brew master moved on..
Mill Street Grill
how about zynodoa? Think I went there once and like it.
Is the Phyrst still around? Always a great time there in the early 80s. Peanut shells on the floor to soak up the beer. Whenever I go into a bar with a strong smell of beer, I think of the Phyrst.
Lots of Penn Staters in South Carolina. Even more Steeler fans. I have never gotten one disrespectful comment while wearing a PSU sweatshirt (constantly from Nov-Feb) except one. I had a neighbor across the street who liked to get on me about Sandusky and PSU. His alma mater? Notre Dame. You can't make it up. He couldn't see the glass houses all around him.
Got one from a guy at an Inverness Scotland bar last month. He was dancing with a blow up doll/woman with his ex-wife’s face taped to the head. He yelled “we are” when he saw my PSU wrestling hat. I had to think twice, but, after assessing the situation I gave a hearty PENN STATE. During a band break he opined on the advantages of a blow up wife.
I was lifting and at the same time I would go into the gym to workout a local priest would generally show up. I was raised catholic but don't attend mass so the way we became friends was being at the gym together so often. We had many discussions and there would be times one of us would take different sides of a point just to banter and argue with the other.
My time in Staunton was 1982. It's substantially different in the Shenandoah Valley today than it was back then.
Got one in Barcelona today.
Still in business. Still has big wood door on Street level and I think the pipe going down stairway that I cleaned my head off a few times. That's where I ended up the night Penn State beat Nebraska. I wasn't a student but I knew a football trainer and he got us tickets in the parents section. I think they were RB Jon Williams allotted tickets??
Been there a bunch of times. Head that way towards Lexington and Winchester for horse shows and friends.
I was just back there in July. No more shells on the ground. Still have the stage, but it smells like a brand new building. The ole stale beer smell on the concrete is gone! Lol. They really cleaned the place up.
The manager told me, "that's what everyone says!"
I consider the PSU fanbase as a huge part of the "we are" regardless of where they went to school. Sounds like you spend a good amount supporting them financially by buying gear and other things. You deserve to be a "We"...
Point well taken. I have dropped a few bucks on the NLWC over the years, as well. Just got my Jordan Conway thank you email last week.
Hopefully, it's officially licensed (not bootlegged). If so, consider yourself a modest financial contributor and part of the 'we.'
I am an aging PSU grad and lifetime alumni member, who is largely oblivious to my wardrobe du jour. When I am wearing PSU gear, I often have to have a 'We are..." repeated right in my face. When I notice, I kindly respond without checking for miniature diplomas or alumni member cards.
I am a fan of penn state wrestling and a fan of penn state wrestling would reply; pennstate. Or at least I would.
I heard Daytona is one of the best. My in-laws won a pair of vip tickets to Poconos. We were right on Pitt road walking right by the pitt crew (I thought it was fricking awesome!) So we had good a good view of what we wanted but I get why it is a bad spectating track due to the 3 turn layout.
Nah, the best was Silver Spring raceway. You could watch the dirt track racing or the drive-in movie right next to the track from the grandstand.
