Hopefully the service will be better here then. I never had an issue when I was there, but all experiences vary.

Still awesome that we're getting one. Going right next to Moe's BBQ and across the street from the LockerRoom.

Downtown is so much better than it was a few years ago.

Saw this on Twitter and thought it was pretty funny. And true.


Only part I didn't understand is what BFE stood for and the Old ruins part.

Bum frick Egypt? AKA a whole bunch off nothing.

The old ruins are the ruins off the old state capitol.

If anyone is in Montgomery, there's a watch party for every USMNT game at the Tipping Point.

First had a Cookout in Maryville TN. My god I've wanted one ever since. The sides are ridiculous.

Yeah, I ate at one in Asheville after a long day of brewery hopping. It hit the spot. Saw they had them in Atlanta last weekend when I was there. Had no idea we were close, but that's pretty awesome. I'm still waiting on that damn Whataburger though!

Wish it wasn't on fricking 15th street, but oh well.

Druid City Music Hall said there's a big show announcement coming at 10. Ready to see some damn shows.

Those ruins are pretty cool. How old are they?


Also what exactly is Bum frick Egypt?

Tuscaloosa was the state capital from 1826-1846, so I assume the ruins were built sometime around then.

I want to say they re-furbished the ruins 15 or so years ago. Growing up, we used to go to Capitol Park all the time, and I don't remember the front columns being there. It was basically just the foundation and that one wall, and some column remains behind the wall. My memory may be off though. This was 30 years ago.

Even cooler was the old jailhouse that is across the street. I read recently the city wants to destroy it, which would be a travesty.
