Re: [gatortalk] Recent Visit to Gainesville

I used the women's restroom 30 minutes before gymnastics started and the
"doorway" was poorly designed. It's barely over 1 person wide and curvy.
So, me, a large woman leaving didn't see the woman with a cane coming in
until we almost ran into each other. I did step on the woman behind me to
avoid hitting the woman with a cane. The woman behind me and I then
evaluated the poor design and agreed, it should've been wider and there was
plenty of space to do so. Also, what would it be like when more than 6
people were trying to come & go?
The 1st rotation of Gymnastics the big screens showed each team's stats on
opposite corners, so the Gators' info was behind us and directly across
from us - blocked by the center display. Auburn's info was on the 2 screens
we could see.  I posted to the team on Facebook and for the other rotations
the screens rotated which team's info was shown.
I'm not sure what the redesign goals were, but I really didn't see
improvements.

Ageed.

If you are at one end, there is an elevator right below section 220 that is not 
very clearly marked that lets out right near one of the Men’s rooms.

It’s behind an unmarked door, near the stairs that go up to Section 220.

Either the owners or friends of Burrito Brothers has asked the city for 
money. The construction of the huge building on the corner of University 
and 13th has severely limited their business for the last year or so. 
Not sure what this has to do with the city but that's what I read.

Adam's rib sounds good too. The mural is as much a Gainesville landmark as the

[gatortalk] Recent Visit to Gainesville

2017-01-26 Thread John Vega 
random notes.

The UAA should ask for about half of its renovation budget back from Brasfield 
& Gorrie. Seatbacks in the arena, not much else. Concrete not sealed, stained, 
or even cleaned. Not quite the funk of forty thousand years on the floors, but 
close. Outside the bowl, metal support structures still have peeling paint and 
cobwebs.

The money seems to have gone to a new atrium that looks about the same as the 
old one. Not sure why excavation was needed if this was the end goal.

I assume some money went into the new “Champions Club,” that few fans will ever 
use.

Nice that the band was back in the student section. Now to get the flute player 
back on the court for the solo in “You Can Call Me Al.”

I have a Nikon camera, I like to take a photograph. Except that I was turned 
away by the police at the O’Dome, as it had a detachable lens. I looked up the 
UAA policy on cameras, and the detachable lens requirement only applies to 
lenses over 6 inches in length. I wish that I had know the 6 inch requirement. 
I would have offered the officer a visual aid.

Burrito Brothers is on life support. It may be gone sooner rather than later. 
If you are in Gainesville, be sure to stop by if you can. No signage or 
frontage on a main street seems to have killed it. Just around the corner, 
there was a line for Chipotle. Go figure.

Gainesville has a couple good microbreweries. First Magnitude Brewing makes a 
blonde ale called “Vega.” I assume that - like Las Vegas - it was named after 
me. It has a tap room on Main, with over dozen microbrews on tap.

I had some of the best BBQ beef at Adam’s Rib. It is one of the old Joe’s 
Delis. The one next to the Arby’s with the big hat sign on 13th over by Shands. 
Pork also good, but that’s a lot easier to make. The celing still has the 
murals from our 1984 season. The scores and opponents are depicted well. Look 
for the tie game against LSU.

Adam's also - oddly - open for breakfast and surprisingly good. If you don’t 
want to wait in line at some fancy breakfast place on a Saturday morning, it is 
the place to go.
