Chris78 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 A Hershey bears game is a great venue to attend, especially for a family. Easy to get in and out of the arena. Reasonably priced and no bad seats in the entire arena. The arena seats around 10k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will probably be a way down the road, but when you have the chance go to Montreal and watch a game there. It truly is something to be experienced. This would be a bit harder to accomplish, given the size of the arena and you'd need to have a connecting flight, but also consider going to Winnipeg. A few years back the crowd famously took up a chant of "Crosby's better!" when the Caps were in town. Their taunting chants are a point of pride for them, and the arena was designed with the acoustics in mind (smaller capacity, big noise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When things are back to full capacity (hopefully next season), my friend and I are going to do a Canadian hockey trip and see the Caps play in Montreal and Winnipeg. I’ve heard great things especially about Winnipeg due to the smaller arena and the diehard hockey fans there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold out the arena in less than 10 minutes. For those who split them with others, the most desired dates were the first game of the regular season and when Anaheim and Teemu Selanne paid a first visit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Denver seems to be getting pummeled pretty good this morning.

All right!!! Go Jackets...cheers to the "Ramblin' Wreck!" I wasn't there during the Storm of the Century...at the time was in Ohio for that, working for a small private forecasting company during the event! We got about 8-12" in northeast Ohio along with blizzard warnings. Closed down the eastern part of the Ohio Turnpike for awhile. Fun time! I also remember that company had a contract to give forecasts to the New York Thruway (God, that was a chore!). I was sending out forecasts of 2-4 *feet* for much of the central and eastern part of the Thruway. It was so unusual that I even got a phone call asking if that was real, and I had to assure them that it was serious!! I think Syracuse, NY got 40" as I recall. Went to Tech about a year or so later for grad school. I did hear how bad it was in the Atlanta area. You mentioned they issued blizzard warnings in a comment you made the other day? Didn't realize that. From what I recall, the official airport measurement was around 4" (unreal for there any time, let alone March!), but parts of the metro area and north got a foot. I read stories about how people along I-75/85 and other major roads got trapped, and just abandoned their vehicles and walked, because it was impossible to drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must have been fun times forecasting ‘93! I actually left campus and went home that weekend, family Iives in Duluth, GA at the time which is about 30mi NE of Atlanta. Got about 7-10, hard to really measure given the winds and drifting lol! If I recall correctly the blizzard warnings were a nowcast thing, was watching the weather channel sat AM and we went from winter storm warning, to heavy snow warning (remember those) then to a Blizzard warning. All in about 30minutes...things escalated quickly. The next day (Sunday) it warmed to near 50 under March sun and the melting commenced. I was able to drive back to campus on packed powder streets and slush. Back in time to watch the ACC championship game. After we won, some folks (mostly frats) decided to start a mini riot and made a bonfire at the corner of techwood drive and Bobby Dodd way. Melted the traffic light, lol. Cops and FD showed up, then someone decide it was a good idea to throw snowballs at the fire truck and firemen, let’s just say the retaliation by the FD was some errant hose work that left many wet and cold. Good times! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not going half-assed on this one - doing it all up. Pretty sure we’ve found the contractor to do the work, so the constant back-and-forth has begun. Hoping to have it done by the beginning of May. I envy those who have homes with front porches. We have a two-level back patio behind our current cookie-cutter home, but nothing compares to a front porch. The big Victorian house I grew up in up in northern PA (built ~1900 maybe?) had a wraparound front/side porch...my parents had a hanging swing, a sofa-sized glider and a bunch of Adirondack chairs on it. Spent much of my youth out there playing on that porch... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I mentioned a trip to Water's End Brewery in Lake Ridge, VA yesterday afternoon....probably a 10-15 minute diversion off of I-95 south, and well worth the trip. Current beers on the board repped in first pic here....I started with the sweet/sour cherry pie, and while I am not a fruity beer fan...it was damn good. Barkeep said they're working a sweet/sour cherry pie to debut in a couple weeks that will be a bit more on sour side...what I had was fairly balanced. Mrs. V started out with Damn Beer, which is their everyday IPA and quite good. I followed my first draft with a Barleybeast -- which was, bar none, THE BEST barleywine draft I've ever had. I regret leaving without a crowler/growler of that...which is why Mrs. V and I are headed back there in a week or two before it's gone. And, on our way back from Water's End, we circled back through Potomac Town Center at Stonebridge to complete our weekly grocery run at the Wegman's there, and I finally found the "Saturday Morning" Lucky-Charms-themed four-pack there from Smartmouth, that I mentioned us hearing about not quite a year ago on its debut. There were national stories written about the "Lucky Charms" beer that was selling out as soon as it was made available. Mrs. V and I split one this afternoon and I was...underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, it's a tasty IPA...just not a particularly well-flavored/themed one. Smartmouth touts the marshmallow flavor on the label, but try as we might...we didn't get that from the nose/taste of it at all. Again, a great everyday IPA, I just didn't feel that it lived up to the hype. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
