Has anybody been to Blacksburg lately?

So I went down to the burg this past weekend with a buddy of mine who had to finish moving some stuff out of his apartment.

a) Apparently there is a controversy about the town adding fluoride to the water supply. What the hell is that all about? I thought that was a standard practice pretty much everywhere.

b) Sycamore Deli is now in a basement bar across the street from the Rivermill. I think its the former Republican Headquarters site. They have a stage and had a band playing Saturday night. This move could have been made several years ago for all I know, as I would have never thought to look there.

c) Holy crap, how did I miss the massive amount of construction that has taken place in the past few years on the residential side of campus. I guess I have just never paid attention during walks to the stadium, but it's impossible to miss if you drive down West Campus Dr. Nice facelift for Litton Reeves too.

d) If Bruce Taylor reads this, I apologize for trying to get you to tackle my friend at TOTS on Saturday night. It was a lot funnier in my rail soaked brain at the time.

e) Finally, Jimmy Johns or pizza, which is the better late night drunk food? They'll both have competition with Waffle House coming soon.

a) I knew nothing until just now.

b) This has been in the works for a couple years.

c) Soooo much construction all the time. Turner Place (the new dining hall) is done on the outside, looks great, and has great location right next to all my classes.

d) I ALWAYS see Bruce at TOTS. I'd love for him to tweak the Terry Tate Office Linebacker role to spearing people who spill their drinks.

e) Benny's > Jimmy Johns. I'm interested in seeing how Waffle House does. Benny's, Cookout, and Chipotle were PACKED when they first opened up.

a) Was not aware of this, thanks.

b) Friend's dad owns the place, I like the new location more. Great beer prices too!

c) There's a lot going on

d) I see Bruce Smith there a lot. You should ask him to tackle your friend too, see if he's still got it!

e) Benny's or DP Doughs is my favorite. Cookout is too far from DT for students, Chipotle closes at 10 :-(.

put a rail in my hand and I'm not against asking anybody to tackle my friends
