Hmmm, I would 100% throw my back out trying to drive a ball 500 yards after a handful of drinks and gentle trash talk.

I went to my first TopGolf in Vegas a year and a half ago. A lot of fun and honestly not super expensive. This was announced last year in Buffalo, although I'm not sure where it stands now. Similar to TopGolf.

It looks really incredible. We'll see if it actually comes to fruition. I think we all remember the Destiny USA renderings...

Isn't this what Destiny USA was supposed to look like? Still bitter about losing Borders. Loved that view from the coffee shop.

Congel just needs a few more tax breaks. It's the city's fault.

That's just virtual golf though, right?

 

[Fly Rodder]

Who worked over the politicians more, Congel or Amazon?

Congel. At least an amazon warehouse represents the future, however sad, of retail.

Malls were already on the way out when Congel suckered people into his scheme.

Who worked over the politicians more, Congel or Amazon?

Congel. He sold an impossible plan to get funding and tax breaks, did as little as he could and still keep the benefits, then stalled any further expansion that would cost him money. CNY Carpet Bagger.

Yup.

How about "Emerald City" as Syracuse's new nickname?

The "Emerald City" references around Syracuse have nothing to do with a wizard or Munchkins, but they're no mistake either, city officials say. Early last year, the city launched a marketing effort to spread the news of Syracuse's environmental efforts...

Wasn't that the nickname of the prison in "Oz"?
