Default Western-Related Off-Topic Thread.

I think we need one. Here's a couple of questions to start things off...

This kid was telling a group of people that a "4 door civic owned my mike mccann (or something close) was running 6.2s at natural bridge." and swears it's true. Someone that knows this car please validate that this kid is full of shit.

I'm looking for a local place that carries neoprene vests and wetsuits... already checked out gander mountain, dicks, and the shops at bridgewater.

and finally... what's your favorite lunch spots in roanoke and why?

I have lived in Roanoke for 21 years and I cannot answer your lunch question. This bothers me so I will have to think about it.

I have a few favorites:

Wildflour on 4th street
Taaza
Isaac's

I used to love Red Coyote in the market building, but I think it closed down...

If you are looking for a wetsuit check Diving Enterprises on Apperson. They carry diving type suits, but I believe they can also get the PWC style suits too. If not, check Wet Connection down at the lake.

Frank's pizza in Salem is pretty damn good.

6.2's at NB with FWD is very suspect. Not saying it's impossible, just highly unlikely. I think folks would know if there was a Civic like that running around.

Go to wake and skate out at Bridgewater. If not, check out freestyle on 419. If not, order one online like I did. I got a Liquid Force neoprene vest and it's great. Jet Pilot is also a good wakeboarding company, they have very nice vests.

www.Wakeside.com

www.overtons.com

My favorite place for lunch is generally the Metro or Frankie Rowland's, depending on my mood.

I went in wake and skate... I fought off the flock of hippie children that couldn't afford anything in the damn store that isn't a keychain or sticker. They didn't have many vests... seemed extremely overpriced for what they were.
