I'm not an expert on these things, but I'm somewhat informed I would argue that the lever has worked on the housing market, at least as I see it insofar as it's stopped/slowed the property increases The economics of the housing market are such that there isn't enough supply and it's not even...

Re license plate, yes you are. May Dad has had the same license plate since before I can remember (i.e. he's transferred it through probably 10 cars) I've seen that WAKE license plate around town as well.

With regards to Clemson leaving (or UNC or FSU, etc) Is there anything that suggests they have any way our of the grant of rights other than just forking over $120MM? I'm sure i've missed something, but all i've read is people nebulously suggesting that "they have found a way", but no one (as...

Yes Its still there

I ate there a few weeks ago (Neng Jr) and was unimpressed. That's not to say the food was bad, it was good and I enjoyed it, but not remarkably good and pound for pound I'd say it's the most expensive place in Asheville. The wine was atrocious (they only had two options for red, one was terrible...

I don't know anything about it (James Beard award), but know a few people who in the restaurant business (whose general opinions I respect) who (independently) say that the James Beard award is a joke....it's a "political" (within the restaurant business)/purchased award. Can't properly parrot...

I could accept that as legitimate statement if youre currently over 50 or under 30 and/or you dont drink If thats not you then you might not be a fun person because that was a good, maybe the best time to be in Asheville. Everyone has personal taste and may like one thing to another, but to say...

It's a great town for people from other parts of NC or the surrounding states to come up for an easy get away for a long weekend or a night or two, whatever, but I don't know why people come from long distances to visit. The homelessness issue is a big negative (and not unique to Asheville), but...

Did she at least show it to you? I feel that that would just be common curtesy

I own several guns Never carry but do have a CCP (makes it easier to buy guns if you have one, which is the main benefit for me). I've only taken a gun somewhere for "protection from others" a few times (i.e. brought with me in my car or something) in my life and maybe a few more times in...

my FIL has an old bank door that he uses for the door to his home office. The top 1/2 of the door is glass and there is a "gold" (doubt it's really gold) medallion set in the glass that says "FDIC insured $10,000", he got it from a building that had been sitting vacant since the 50s that he...

Any prop plane you would fly commercially would almost certainly be a turboprop, which is a jet (turbine) engine that drives a propeller as opposed to a typical piston engine..other than general size, there isn't really a safety difference. Turbo props are more efficient at lower altitudes than...

What is the most number of ACC wins/highest ACC Win% a team has had and not made the NCAA tourney (since expansion)

Is there any school in NC that wouldn't trade their results of the last 20 years with Wake's? I think our number of wins is about the same as UNC (maybe UNC has won a few games more than us over 20 years, but also the Atlantic is and always has been the harder division in the ACC) and maybe...
