I'll get you a pic next time I'm by, crackheads, hookers that's all that's there now


I google mapped it, 15-16 hours each way.......if only I had a pilots license Europeans have one thing right, high speed friggin trains. It would be so sweet to just hop on an overnight train to Charlotte Friday and rent a car.

Good luck to everyone (except your head coach) this weekend.


Did not mean to upset you. SCAR has a lot going for it.

Your present coach has a long (negative)record with us back to Austin and continued to be an arse when he went to Florida.

Here is hoping for a good game Saturday........and your coach....not so much.

Wow ... that's a shame. Used to be one of the nicest hotels in the country. They had all of these themed suites like the jungle room, etc.

We had an 82nd Airborne Reunion there in 1982. It's where I met Dick Winters and some of the other Band of Brothers guys of HBO fame ... they just weren't famous yet.

Yeah, about flying and trains. I've got a god friend who flies, has several aircraft. We made that trip one time and he was pissed the whole way there because we fought some vicious head winds the whole way there. Coming back was a breeze - but going just sucked.

And we've all long complained about no rail service to Texas. Years ago we actually took a train to New Ireland for the Sugar Bowl. We actually did that twice. Once from here and once from Memphis. But those were fun. Still yet, Amtrain doesn't go any further than NOLA if I remember correctly. I've always said it should run out west, at least to Vegas through Texas.

I believe I had this confused with the Astro Motel

The place you are referring to is right across Kirby from the dome right? I believe it's a crown plaza now, still a dive unfortunately. All of the back buildings and suites were turned into weekly apartments or just boarded up.


And those 300km per hour trains in Europe are the tits. We should have a line like that connecting every major city in the US
