All my infro is dated. 

Only one place to stay- marriott everyone thats covering/helping/etc the panthers will be staying there. You can catch some "semi-famous" nfl people in the bar/restaurant if youre lucky

A small "downtown" strip within walking distance. Had shops, couple bars, and a 3 star Chinese place. One night a BMW employee happened be at that bar, long talk and long night, bless her soul.

Beacon is only if you enjoy greasy southern food. Everyone told me to go as welll, I finally did..... The booth I sat at had not been cleaned since the 1969 moon landing. Layers of dark grease in the corners. My plate had a HUUUUGE pile of onion rings and I didnt order them. Sweet tea put me in a diabetic coma......but overall helped cure my hang over. 

Bonus marriot toilets were able to handle the after effects without making the "call"..

Get rest things happen early. 

Enjoy.

 

Forgot there was a great local doughnut shop close by( I think, can not member the name) and sunscreen like the others have already said.

I stayed there 3 years ago. Was eating breakfast and I heard this voice that sounded lumbergh from office space “Yeah, I’ll have a coffee”. I knew it wasn’t the real lumbergh but yet I know I’d heard it before.

I turn around and it’s Joe by God Person. Check please.

You need to try Shotz. It's in the little strip mall behind Food Lion. It's in the corner, just down the walk from Mr. Gattis.

 

Great food, great atmosphere, and alcohol. Lot's to do. Tell Carly behind the bar Cookie sent you. She'll know what it means. lol

 

Oh, and I go to Karaoke on Thurs. night.

Lucky you!.... I bumped into Darin Grant and a female NFL network reporter whom no longer works for them today. They always look so different in person. She wore a hat, button up shirt over a tank-top, and long athletic shorts. Poor woman had a bad cough and kept clearing her throat. You nailed Person, I have no clue how he gets on any radio/TV with that voice.

After a few one-liners back and forth, Darin walked off with this line " Never meet your heroes .."

Is there still a local bakery spot thats close to fields, god-like donuts? I may have my places mixed up. Its was across form the main road entrance to the fields/stadium.

There are no Spartans or (ice) "burgs".  Not many signs due to the public school situation in SC--so take a GPS.  You will know when you are there when the kids have gun racks on their tricycles and the girls with debutante tattoos and bedazzled spit cups try to con you out of a quarter.  I am sorry--what was the question?

It's actually just down the street of the entrance to the College on Church St. Krispy Kreme. About a block from the Marriott. 

 

The entrance off Pines St. Where the Camp entrance is. Is on the other end of the College.

Dang I mixed-up a local spot with KK, forgive me I was a sales-rep that heavily travel at one point.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
