BRB.U's Travel Atlas!

[Coppanuva]

So I was flying in a plane to visit colleges today when I realized something... people on brb.u are from lots of different towns. People on brb.u also visit different towns. Why not work together and we can each create a sort of "Guide" to fun things to do, or good places to eat in our home towns? That way we can have a handy reference.

never visit Tyler, TX, there is absolutely nothing to do there and you will kill yourself competing for jobs with thousands of former kelly-springfield and wal-mart supercenter employees

There's not much to do in Omaha except hang out in the old market and laugh at hipsters.

never visit Tyler Galviston, TX, there is absolutely nothing to do there and you will want to kill yourself competing for jobs upon seeing the with thousands of former kelly-springfield rednecks and wal-mart supercenter employees at the beach

If anyone goes to Florida I can tell them a bunch of fun things to do, but most people just end up at Disney or Miami  >

I got kicked out of a bar at the University of Florida, then wandered around campus lost and drunk for an hour with some other people

I was down there for my fraternity's national conference we had every year. And one night everyone went to one of the bars on campus. Now I was used to Champaign laws, which were basically 19 to get in, after which we don't care, and the bar willingly looks the other way toward underage drinkers.

Here was a different story, we were told beforehand we wouldn't be able to drink at the bar so we just pre-gamed pretty hard at the house before going out. We get to the bar and after about 15 min one of the other guys there who is 21 gives me like a quater of a cup from a pitcher. No sooner had I taken a sip than a bouncer tossed me along with about 4 other people. They tossed a bunch of people all night, was kind of ridiculous since we come to the bar, bring about 80 - 100 people on a deserted campus and they start throwing people out.

We just wandered around for a while before finding our way back to the house then drinking more there before passing out.

Yea we go through periods of that. College town + known binge drinking problems + something that hits the newspaper = paranoid as fuck bouncers.

The Vietnamese area is pretty cool. Also there are a lot of lakes you can visit. And I used to love church street but I heard it has gone to shit. They used to have an amazing arcade in this huge historic building.

Rummy, I went to Philadelphia (6 hour drive round trip) just to buy some beer. I never realized that Philadelphia was basically the beer capital of the US... perhaps the world.

Also, I think if our hometowns were any fun at all we would not be frequenting TF2 and/or these forums.

Missouri (the Fort Leonard Wood area specifically) is devoid of any advanced life or proper entertainment.  Plenty of Caves though.

@exanimo the beardfaced stud:

Hmm, though I live around Philly, and thus am partial, I don't know that I am prepared to proclaim that it's the best beers in the US. (Fat tire is good, Boston has some goods, Washington/Oregon have some goods). Philly is definitely in the running though, and more importantly, it's what I know.


But, IMHO, Belgium is definitely the beer capital of the world. After that, Germany, Ireland, UK, and even France, have some better brews than US. And don't get me started on Alexander Keith's.

But but, if you are in Philly, and like brewskis, those are some good starting points.

You go to college now, you should be in your "PBR, high life, and Milwaukee's Best" phase
