40 Reasons you know you're a Mountaineer

[AppinVA]

You went to both Roses stores in the same afternoon, just to say you did.

[TheMoody1]

Do I remember correctly that beer in Tennessee had a higher alcohol content than NC at some point, too?

I remember the same thing, but it was Virginia beer. 7.5 vs 3.2(military beer).

You ate at Holly Farms Chicken.

You had drop add in Varsity Gym and stood in lines for 45 minutes only to find out the class was closed.

Ahhhhh, the days. (I could go on)

Holly taters ... hmmmm ... no one before or since has gotten that recipe figured right!

Drop add ... where waiting in line becomes an art!

[mikeyosef]

Driving to Blowing Rock for buckets of beer at Clydes or grabbing a cold bottled beer to wash down a Holly's Tavern hot dog while taking in that gorgeous view of sundown on their back deck. Heading back to Boone only after stopping a Peabody's Beer and Wine to buy a 12 pack of whatever they had stacked highest in the middle of the store.

Oh and when I was there it was the Sea Horse in Johnson City TN for liquor...the age was 19 when I went.

Didn't see this anywhere and football is out of season. Enjoy!

Agree, politics should have been left out. However, Ronald Reagan was the man when I was at App!

We always heard that Tennessee beer was 6.4 vs. 3.2 for North Caroline beer. You could also but Stroh's beer in Tennessee. This was almost like buying Coors, which wasn't available west of the Mississippi then. We took Stroh's to Myrtle Beach Easter weekend and we were cool drinking Stroh's. Ah. the memorie.s
