Eureka? Ahhh...home of Six Flags. I can't believe how much Chesterfield valley has grown up. They have Circuit City, Best Buy, Slackers CD's & Games, and now Gamestop. Oh how my wife hates to go shopping with me there!

The 588-2300 is the number for Empire Carpets and the rest means that Indianapolis sucks.

Oh, so Fort Worth is too good to be lumped in with the rest of the metroplex?

Funny, I knew Primelord and Ardent were from this area, didn't know WSUCougar was. Hello fellow Missourian, mighty crappy day today, huh? Rain, rain...

Another St. Louisian here (O'Fallon or, if between 7-8:30 a.m. or 5-6:30 p.m. M-F, the Blanchette Bridge)... OK, it's not THAT bad...

Coffee Warlord · 04-26-2003, 11:50 PM

Okay, technically I'm no longer a Chicago-ite (damn broke employer!), but I still go up all the time, and thusly consider myself from civilization.

And for all the other Chicago folk. We ought to try and do an FOFC outing sometime, considering how many of us there are.

Wrigley bleachers, anyone?

Ragone · 04-27-2003, 12:56 AM

Kansas City here.. Born in Louisville.. Went to college at Louisville.. Live in kc.. blah..

A Kc fofc get together would be quite boring.. cheap for buying drinks at least

MJ4H · 04-27-2003, 09:24 AM

Im afraid Fayetteville, AR isnt a major metropolitan area

And I think theres approximately one other dude Ive seen from here. I AM 3 hours from KC and Little Rock, an hour and a half from Tulsa, 4 and a half hour from OKC, 5 hours from STL and about 6 from Dallas though! Oh and I think 8 and half from Omaha. hehe

Dr. Sak · 04-27-2003, 09:49 AM

Am I the only one from Pittsburgh, PA?

Bleachers sounds like a great idea. Of course Chicago has some great minor league teams too. If that is more exciting for people I'd be up for a Courgars, Wizards, or White Sox game.

My mom's family is from Bentonville, AR, and my sister lives in the bustling metropolis of Combs, about 30 minutes from Fayetteville

I guess I'm the only one from the Memphis area?

illinifan999 · 04-27-2003, 11:07 AM

I'm about an hour from Chicago. Dangit, there is one more clue for ardent.

Coffee Warlord · 04-27-2003, 11:07 AM

Heh, or better yet, we could get the WI folks in on it as well, and go to the Renn Faire in Bristol, WI.

You all could see the mighty Coffee Warlord decked out in his Viking outfit.

illinifan999 · 04-27-2003, 11:09 AM

I remember once when I went to the Renn Faire. It was fun. Can't remember any specifics except for that my grandma got drunk. That was pretty funny.

moore4807 · 04-27-2003, 12:32 PM

From the jersey side of the Delaware River its gotta be a Philly thing (cheesesteaks, soft pretzels, Italian market, Patco, "the El",Reading Teminal Market,)
If you know these places -you are a philly -ite

kcchief19 · 04-27-2003, 09:24 PM

Ragone and I might be the only KC people here, but we could bring in Sterling and I think Scarecrow is in Topeka. We'd probably be better off meeting the St. Louis contigency in Columbia on a football Saturday and then hit Harpo's. There are a few other Show-Me staters outstate as well.

MJ4H -- I'll be in your neck of the woods in a couple of weeks. My better half likes going down to Eureka Springs, so we'll be heading down there. I'm hoping to sneak in 18 while she's getting a massage, but I haven't found any great courses down there.

MIJB#19 · 04-28-2003, 04:59 AM

I guess I'm the only person representing the World's Biggest Harbour, being Rotterdam with suburbs?

I am not willing to recognize the so-called Randstad as a major city (which would include Rotterdam, The Hague and Amsterdam all in one) in this case.

Scholes · 04-28-2003, 09:57 PM

I'm in Minneapolis, and I'm pretty sure Cards4ever is, but I'm unaware of any other Twin Cities based people here...

The CM boards are chock full of them though, it seems.

Mountain · 04-29-2003, 07:49 AM

I was suprised to see there were a few people from Columbia, S.C. on this board. One has Gamecock in his sig and the other one I can't remember off the top of my head. Columbia is only three hours from Atlanta.

Can we top it off with some pulled pork at Zarda's? I'm wondering if they are even still around?

Zarda's advertises on the KC sports talk station so it's a pretty safe bet they're still around. Never been there myself. Actually, I think as often as possible the late morning show "Crunch Time" (and I think Kietzman's has, too) has had remotes there- nothing like bribing ex-football players with loads of BBQ.

I'd ask my girlfriend (she graduated from Mizzou and lives in Lawrence now, go figure) but I doubt she'd know much. Not really her scene.

I figured they were, just too damned good BBQ. People here think KC Masterpiece is the shizz.. decent but nothing compared to Zarda.

There's a pretty good one out in Topeka too. Baby Dolls Polka Club (if memory serves).

SI, were you at Vermooten's bachelor party? I forget. (Memory is a little hazy of that evening.

).

primelord · 04-29-2003, 03:34 PM

Double A is a Missouri boy too. Although it has been awhile since he has made an appearance.

It's just Baby Dolls. No polka - just boobies.

Saying Zarda BBQ is better than KC Masterpiece (and I'm referring to the original KC Masterpiece) is like saying Ponderosa is better than the Herford House (or Golden Ox).

(BTW, I grew up in what is now the parking lot for The Kansas Speedway. I currently reside in Topeka.)

DataKing · 04-29-2003, 04:03 PM

KC Masterpiece or Gates, depending on your tastes.

Every time to visit Kansas, I bring back bottles and bottles of Gates BBQ sauce (10 or more each trip). I've got people up here in Chicago sold on the stuff.

I am kind of partial to Winslow's down in River Market. It's more of a lunch place, but it's pretty damn good. I am also a big fan of the cheesy corn at Jack Staaks. Mmmmmmm cheesy corn.

Really? Must be my tastes then, there is a KC Masterpiece here in Chesterfield, I don't think it compares to Zarda. Actually, if we were taking a poll, I think Super Smokers would be my favorite!

Next time I am in KC, I'm definitly going to the Herford House! Mmmmm... thick juicy steaks!

I moved up to the Lou from the South a few months back. I've got to say that Super Smokers is the closest thing to good BBQ that St. Louis has. Bandana's, on the other hand, is just putrid.....

Less than an hour north of Philly in Allentown.

Not many PA folk in here.
