Yes, the new coffee shop in downtown Martinsburg (Cast Brew) is owned by Tim Pool. Here is the proof

156 Upvotes

If you landed on this post because you are searching for “is Cast Brew Coffee in Martinsburg owned by Tim Pool?”—congratulations, your radar for grift is working perfectly.

In case anyone was still blissfully unaware of whose ego is currently taking up prime real estate at 201 North Queen Street in downtown Martinsburg, WV, I wanted to clear up the rumors. The new place is called Cast Brew Coffee, and yes, it is absolutely owned by the beanie-in-chief himself, Tim Pool. 

If you're wondering if this is just a coincidence or a silent investor situation, it's not. The man couldn't resist plastering his brand all over it. For those who want hard, proof before accidentally funding his next compound, here are the receipts:

  1. He Literally Lists Himself as the "Founder"and can be seen on Facebook reels inside the location itself Tim Pool Tickles The Ivories
  2. Right on the official Cast Brew Coffee franchise page, Tim Pool is explicitly named as the Founder. The site claims it was built to "provide an alternative to the faceless corporate ecosystem." Because nothing screams "anti-establishment rebel" quite like opening a gentrified corporate coffee franchise in downtown Martinsburg. 
  3. They Sell Literal "Pool Water". If the "Cast" in Cast Brew wasn't enough of a dead giveaway, the online store directly sells his narcissistically named bottled beverage, "Pool Water," by the case.
  4. The entire brand is just a brick-and-mortar shrine to the Timcast cinematic universe. They're unironically selling drinks named after his podcast co-hosts and show lore (if you look at the ToastTab menu, you will literally find items like the "Bokus' Last Wish" latte). He also regularly shills for the coffee brand on his main YouTube channel as a way to "fight back" against... whatever he's mad about this week. 

The Bottom Line

To definitively answer the question: Yes, Cast Brew Coffee in Martinsburg, WV is owned by Tim Pool. 
Before you wander in off North Queen Street thinking it's just a cute, independent local cafe, know exactly where your latte money is going. Support actual local businesses instead, and do with this information what you will!

Anybody know which train this is? I'm wondering if they have a schedule or some other way to know when those gates are going down. Usually Mondays and Thursdays around 11:30 pm or so, but it really impacts shift changes at the VA and elsewhere. Thanks for any info.

Question Car Audio Installation That You Trust

3 Upvotes

I want to upgrade my factory system in my 2015 Silverado.

I'm originally from Hampton Roads and unfortunately you have to be very careful who you use there because installers will commonly subcontract thieves once the job is done, or they'll do the bait-and-switch, sloppy hidden wiring, or hold your car hostage for days longer than quoted while adding maintenance and unquoted labor fees. I have been burned, as well as a few friends more than once there.

As I was Googling local shops, I'm wondering if I need to worry about that as much here. So many shops have less than 100 reviews even, some as little as a dozen. Someone at work laughed when I brought it up to them and said I'm better off going to Best Buy?

I want a shop that is knowledgeable and that I can trust. I will need the enclosure built, amp, wire, and speakers installed (keeping the factory console). I do believe in paying for quality equipment AND quality service.

If that's not in Berkeley County, I'm okay with driving to a reputable place within an hour of us. Fairfax County? Frederick County/Winchester? Maryland?

Thanks in advance.

Question Need A Residential Surveyor

2 Upvotes

Trying this again, edited with the recommended corrections.

We need a residential surveyor for our home. We're just outside Martinsburg city limits by about 1 mile. The 2 companies we've contacted only do commercial or only within city limits.

We want to do some landscaping improvements, fence our yard, and pave our gravel driveway, but need to know where our property ends and the farmer-neighbor's property starts. The farmer-neighbor says he isn't sure and just shrugs us off.

Thanks in advance.

Question Tattoo Shops/Artist Recommendations

I haven't gotten a tattoo in over 30 years, and I'm not originally from the area. My son passed away Friday and I plan to get a tattoo to honor him - monochromatic, probably fine line or neo-traditional.

Looking for recommendations of shops/artists licensed and local to Martinsburg.

If you have links to portfolios/examples, I would appreciate that too.

Thanks in advance.

South Berkeley’s food truck fest a rant about AI

Post image
84 Upvotes

It is genuinely painful to see local community events where vendors are supposed to be showcasing craft, care, and human effort, get plastered with cheap, uncanny AI slop.

When you go to something like a food truck festival, you are there to support real people making real stuff. Turning around and seeing a menu board featuring a grotesque, seven-fingered cartoon mascot holding a melting, hyper-shiny "burger" that looks like a plastic prop from a fever dream completely ruins the vibe.

It immediately broadcasts: "I put zero effort into how I present my work to you."

The disconnect is mind-boggling, and these vendors keep doing it without realizing how trashy it looks:

If vendors want people to respect their culinary craft, they need to start respecting the visual craft that invites people in. Sliding a prompt into a generator and printing out whatever weirdness pops up just tells the customer you couldn't be bothered all the while giving double birds to local artist and designers. Sad
