is “bigly” a real word? seriously asking.

winners and judges from the cosplay contest last night.

my favorite Alphabet City Metal Bar (Idle Hands - gone now) used to have Cheerwine on the soda guns. One of the owners/bartenders is an NC ex-pat and couldn’t give up the ‘wine. #whiskeywithaCheerwineback

Stameys on High Point Road by the Coliseum? yeah, I see you, fam.

yep - same here. Left Greensboro/Raleigh for the East Village and the music industry in the 90's. Still in Brooklyn but now on the fringe of the music industry.

LOL! I don’t ever begrudge someone buying interesting kicks (obviously they work cuz, well - I commented!) and I do love me some #23 (even if he was a Tarheel), but I just can’t resist low-hanging inter-ACC rivalry fruit. Go Wolfpack!

As an NCSU Alumus, gotta ask:

She didn’t attend this year.

me too.

I’ll get right on that.

Sorry man, but The Rock uses it in every day conversation, even to describe most of the male cast of Furious 8, no less. Her usage is correct - esp in this context. Peds in the bike lanes on the Brooklyn are annoying.

oo! I like the brass/bronze accents even more than the gold tones in the first image.

well, more like “magic hour much?” - that gold glow is coming from the setting sun off camera left.

Our topless money pit named “Amber” - a 1973 Mustang Convertible shaped pile of rust and broken dreams finally broke me earlier this year.

<raises hand>

sorry...beg to differ on the Gran Prix - I LOVED my 98 GTP and honestly miss it every day. That motor was bullet-proof and quick. Great trunk space with a very usable pass-thru.

you’ve never driven in NYC, huh? Late Night BQE is a good time.

preach on! We went back to owning a car in NYC about 10 years ago and have never looked back. Makes life so much easier. We live in Brooklyn and I’m very good with street parking and keeping ahead or in sync with street cleaning schedules.

you say “paranoid” like it’s a bad thing. My question - you don’t cover the camera?
