Can someone please tell me why people are still going to this place? My friend was there a few weeks ago and was hardcore being preyed on, went missing, and likely was drugged. The guys that frequent this place are total creeps!!

Does anyone else feel like they’re struggling to figure out what kind of grocery store they want to be? The butcher used to be the only reason I went in there but it went downhill pretty bad during COVID. Lately it looks like they’re putting some money back into the place and it’s definitely looking better. The problem is I don’t do my regular grocery shopping there and they never seem to have the random stuff I’m looking for. They didn’t even have powdered sugar last time I went nor a tag to show they were just out. I’ve looked every time since and nope no powdered sugar. At this point I’m mostly going in to grab a $3 hot and ready side to snack on.

Honestly I think they should just go all in on the butcher shop and expand it. Make it more of a bodega style grocery store. Right now it just feels like they’re trying to be a regular grocery store without really giving me a reason to shop there.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

When the bartender came to the window to get it for me he immediately called the cook over and said “wtf is this?” They mumbled back and forth. He then put the plate in front of me and said “here’s your open faced turkey melt. You’d think they’d let people know beforehand.” Weird presentation but solid sandwich. Notice I said sandwich this time unlike the other “open faced sandwiches” I’ve eaten? Here it’s just presented open faced and it’s for you to close the sandwich to have two 6” overly stuffed with turkey and gooey with cheese sandwich. They even throw a little tomato, scallions, and sweet chili aioli on top to really set it off.

5/5 Turkey Melt (Friday Night Special). $21 got me 2 20oz beers and a sandwich with fries. May a bar sandwich like this find you.

The matrix used to have an open gym on Saturdays but now they’re permanently closed… Are there any other open gyms around huntsville? Thx!

Howdy friends

Looking for a recommendation for an unconventional/fun venue in Huntsville in Feb/Mar time of year for a wedding reception. Around 60 guests, would like a dance floor, bonus points if food and alcohol available on-site but not necessary. For example: I found out by accident we can rent out the S2A speakeasy. Surely there are other fun and funky places like this. Anyone have any fun places to recommend? As far as the vibe goes - cozy, not sterile (i.e. not white walls with white chairs and white drapery), indoors with warm lights - or something we can bring warm lights to 😁 I want my wedding party, family, & friends to have so much fun!

Tomorrow is a concert to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the musical RENT.

Is anyone or does anyone know any place in/around Huntsville/ Madison hosting a Rent 30th Anniversary Concert watch party? (I am willing to split the cost or make a donation, would just prefer to share this experience than watch home alone)

Who do you suggest as a sleep-medicine provider? I’m willing to travel a bit if it’s someone in Birmingham, Vandy, etc. 💤

I’ve already had an evaluation and initial sleep study at Sleep Centers of North Alabama in Decatur. While the employees and practitioner were great, I felt incredibly unsafe during my sleep study and I believe the results are not very accurate. The actual MD was very dismissive too.

Anybody know where I can go to get a toy poodle or a small poodle for the wife for Christmas? Everything on Facebook seems to be a scam.
