How does this crap still go on?

Sadly it's on the rise even

Seriously? Perfectly dressed, everyone in top physical condition? Feds.

Your standards for dressing and fitness are quite different than mine, but free country and all that.

Looks like a bunch of scrawny, uncoordinated teens in red t-shirts and hoodies wearing masks with a few older pudgy guys thrown in.

I bet you think fluoride in the drinking water is for mind control, don't you?

Laramie is supposed to be a great place, I hear it’s set for a boom in growth

They all have their good and bad.

That’s a wild video .

I’ve got a lot of people in Nashville. I’ve lived there previously and have been visiting for decades. Great town for the most part, but it’s got its dumpy areas and other problems all the same. not really surprised by Oak’s post at all.

How hot did you go on that chicken?

”damn hot” which is the 2nd hottest.

I don’t think I could handle “shut the cluck up ” which is the hottest.

I met a girl in Yellowstone while working construction back in the late 80's. She went to Vanderbilt. Went to meet the parents and they asked me what I thought about moving to the South.
There wasn't a chance in hell , I said.
And that was that.

If Austin was closer to the grandparents and mountains we would still be there.

Keep Austin Weird…they meant it

Nope. These "Patriot Front" folks have been at it for a while now; they all look the same, not at all like the "Meal Team Six" guys. And I think you meant mind control, not mine control, unless...

Best barbecue I ever had was in Austin.

One of these days I am going to convince the love of my life of over 30 years that we need to move to Shelby. mtmuley

The food - Tex-Mex, Indian, sushi, bbq, Mex-mex - is one of the things we miss the most.

Do it. You never know how many years you have left. Some weird disease could strike you at any time. One that is no respecter of how hard you work or what shape you are in.

There was a time Hem…

I’ve traveled that road and can confirm that it burns on both ends.

I've never had Aaron's Franklin's BBQ, but have bought his rubs and copied his sauces, and they are excellent. And we were in Austin in the days of the Whole Earth Provision Company. Bought my wife's Trailwise pack and bag there. Bought mine years before. T- shirts too. "Powdermilk Biscuits; Heavens They're Tasty".

I confess I'm probably not the Texas barbecue expert.

I don't think I've ever been to a city that big (as any listed). But of the big ones I have been to, it seems like there's good parts, and bad parts to every city. I'm sure Phoenix and Vegas have parts that are amazing, but you have to be in the right spot to see them. Between the drugs and homelessness (typically related) I think it's getting harder to find that slice of good looking city remaining.

Edit: after checking populations, I have been to cities that big... just not as cool. I need to go to nashville

At one time Missoula was quite alright. Started driving road trucks out of there in 1973, I think that was the year. Mountain Pacific Trucking. Back then for a city Missoula didn't bother me. haven't been in Missoula for years but have heard things that just don't sit well with me. Took my mother up to see my sister in Kalispell maybe 2002 and couldn't believe the shape of Kalispell. Over run with hippi type's! Not a place I'd want to be anymore. Haven't been in a big city I can recall other than Bend, Oregon since I retired almost 20 yrs ago! And need a damn good reason to go to Bend!

I've lived in Kalispell since 1981. I have no idea why someone would ever think it was overrun with hippie types.
