    I still have the last order slip I ever took on the last day I worked there. I remember them calling me to tell me that they were shutting down. I was unemployed for a grand total of 3 hours...My roommate got me hooked up with a gig at Chili's. And yes, it was filthy as ****.

    Yep, I heard stories about Tony Roma's back in the 80s when I worked there in undergrad. We had some long time staff that said that UMiami kids used to take that joint over. By the time I got there, it was just a regular chain restaurant, inside a really disgusting building. Oh the stories I...

    Total Wine became a thing when I hit grad school. That became our stock up spot, once we started hitting PCB for Spring Break. We'd go every Saturday and buy cases of PBR and High Life. By the time we loaded up the truck for the drive up, we'd have 30-40 cases of beer to split between 3-4...

    Fox's was a **** good spot. PBR Tuesdays was my jam back when I was working at Tony Roma's. I would usually walk home from the restaurant on Tuesdays(Sometimes I'd bum a ride home with one of the bartenders), stop over at Fox's and have a couple of "Stress Relief" beers. Even though I usually...

    It got built around 2017. Before then, going to TGI Fridays, CVS or anything else was taking a risk, especially late night. That TGIs was my pregame spot, good place to pick up some strange before hitting the Grove...

    Some damage after Wilma. ****, that storm wasn't a joke, I ended up hanging out and sitting in a tree for an afternoon, all to win a 20 dollar bet.. Day before moveout day. Yep, I didn't get a laptop until my trusty desktop died in 2006. The closet. Guess it was laundry day. note the...

    OC, there was a classmate of mine, Ashley Kelly, that got hit and killed at that crosswalk, by some jackass on her phone. The jackass actually got away with it, she didn't serve any significant time. I joined SG the next year, and despite the young lady's family fighting alongside us and...

    What's funny as **** is when I moved off campus, there were some dorm furniture in my new crib. Apparently, the guys that lived there before us straight up stole a table and chairs from the lounge...

    The furniture didn't change. I was on campus in 2004 and that same furniture was there, the only difference was that they got slightly better desk chairs.
