re: $2.5B Coming to Alabama For Largest Infrastructure Project In State History

Posted by Palmetto08 on 9/21/26 at 3:24 pm to BamaCoaster

quote:
The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) told 1819 News the tolls will be set to encourage the use of the ALGO pass.

Initially, the ALGO pass will cost $60 per month or $3 per crossing. Vehicles with an out-of-state transponder would pay $7.70 per crossing. Vehicles with no transponder would be billed $15.40 per crossing but would be given the option to open an ALGO pass account to get the lower rate.

The tolls will automatically increase every year for the first 10 years after tolling begins, according to FOX10 News. The toll will increase by 5% or by the inflation rate for Southern urban consumers, whichever is higher.

ECU has fans?

They're expecting over 5,000 fans to make the trip (I think it's probably half that). But they travel very well.

They have one of the best non-Power 5 fan bases in the country - better than many Power 5 teams.

They love their football in Grenville

FWIW ECU fans are upset that Coach Wommack called ECU's coach by the wrong name today in his presser.

quote:
Just watched the Alabama Defensive Coordinator Kane Womack Refer to our Head Coach “Graham Harrell.” Talk about a total lack of respect for your opponent.

Man I hope that makes it back to Coach and fires him up.

Oh, he gonna know the name come 2:30 pm CDT Saturday

I hope they have their guard down and not take us seriously. We will smack them in the mouth.

Jack Fry's in Louisville is AWESOME!!! I know it's not Lexington but it's worth the drive! Food, atmosphere and service are all on point!

Absolutely! Jack Frye's is definitely one of my favorites. Those fried oysters are amazing. Just sticking to the Lexington area this trip or would drive over.

Got our seats and they look pretty good for upper deck visitor seats (208 row 22). We're doing a bourbon tour Thursday then Jeff Ruby's Friday night. Will definitely go to Bluegrass Tavern, Henry Clay, etc.

Can you suggest any good patio or rooftop bars downtown for a Friday afternoon/Saturday pregame? We'll probably go somewhere and watch the morning games then head to the stadium tailgates.

Thanks again!

2012 - the place has changed a bit since then. Hope you can come back in the near future and see the changes. Bags of fertilizer threw me off given we have turf - but I guess those were for the grass berms around the perimeter or the hill (the hill is artificial grass now as well) given it is now the roof over a sizeable club space.

The room was tiny and had all sorts of maintenance junk in it - shovels, rakes, quick crete, fertilizer, etc. Me, buddy and the officials just hanging out. Probably could have watched the second half from the field.

Would love to go back for a game. We really enjoyed the trip!

Went to the Bama game back in 2012. The game had to stop due to lightening. The PA guy asked everyone to leave the stadium or go into the concourse area. We just walked out onto Faurot Field and thru the endzone trying to leave. We ended up in a maintenance room sitting on bags of fertilizer with the game officials while the storm passed. Then we walked back on the field with the officials, through the Alabama players warming up and to our seats.

Enjoyed Faurrot Field and Columbia was a great college town.

re: Canada announces retaliatory tarrif

Posted by Palmetto08 on 8/24/26 at 9:58 am to tarzana

These tariffs are getting ridiculous and now Alabama is being specifically targeted.

quote:
According to a letter from Ford to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Alabama is among states that “should face the full force of Canada’s response.” Ford also called for targeting imports from Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Texas and Wisconsin because they are “politically significant states to the current administration’s base of support.”

quote:
Canada is Alabama’s largest export market, transporting about $4.3 billion in goods last year, according to trade figures. Automobiles, aircraft, transportation equipment, plastic metals and paper are among Alabama’s biggest exports

SELA vs South Alabama 9/5

Posted by Palmetto08 on 8/15/26 at 5:24 pm

Southeastern Louisiana travels to Mobile to play South Alabama in week 1. The owner of the USA message board said this will be a tougher game than many fans realize. I don't know anything about SELA football except they hosted an FCS playoff game last season.

Anyone making the trip to Mobile?

Thanks for any replies.

First visit to Lexington for the Bama game. UK fans, what are your favorite bourbon bars, nice Friday night downtown restaurant and fun bars or area to pregame for a 3:30 kickoff?

Thanks for your help. :cheers:

What's your plan OP? Grand Prismatic is like a 2 hour at most thing outside of doing another hike.

Family just wants to see the Grand Prismatic. We've seen other parts of the park and it's going to be slammed so ok with just seeing that then heading to Jackson early to spend the day there.

Thanks for the info!

West Thumb Geyser Basin is nowhere near Grand Prisimatic. West Thumb is by the lake. Grand is in the Midway Geyser Basin. Parking at West Thumb usually isn't terrible to get a spot.

Yellowstone Park questions - Grand Prismatic parking / travel to Jackson

Posted by Palmetto08 on 6/23/26 at 3:44 pm

How's the parking at West Thumb Geyser Basin (Grand Prismatic) and what time should we arrive on Friday July 3rd to get a spot?

And how long do you think a straight drive (very few stops/pullovers except traffic) will take from here to Jackson Wyoming?

I'm sure it will be slammed and lots of traffic since it's one of the busiest travel days in the park. Thank you!
