I’m a born-and-raised New Yorker who now lives in Davidson, and I’ll tell you two things: 1. Yes, Newark is the Gastonia of the Northeast, and 2. No one has paid any attention to Cindy Adams since the 70s.

He's right about Tupelo Honey's lighting and Famous Toastery is meh. Dude should have done his homework before he got here! Also count me as a Charlottean for over 30 years who has never been to the NASCAR HOF.

I love this!! HAHAHA 5th Generation Charlottean (that's we call natives : ) ) here. Proud to be known as such and don't give one NYC Rat's ass what anyone in NY thinks about us!

Arn Anderson always a welcome TBT choice. But wouldn't you think AI had figured out the hands thing by now?....

LOL re: Hudepohl. I had the great…er…pleasure(?) of having that and it’s lightweight kin Hudey Delight. First time I’d ever had beer with ACTUAL SAND in it. Tasted like sand from the Ohio was mixed in to give the beer “ambience”.

Oh, and to h-e double hockey sticks with NYC. Smells like pee and desperation.

Upon further recall, it was a keg of Hudy Delight but I still stand by my description.

Related: I went to Brawley's Beverage once and asked them to give me the absolute worst beer they can think of, and they handed me a 12-pack of Atwater's from Detroit.

I'm quite familiar with liquid nails, yes (also, didn't mean to remove your Iron City comment! Sorry!)

Shoot, I was hoping a huge defender of Atwater's from Detroit took extreme issue with that comment that you deleted.
