(alternate title) "Let's Make LILJOL jealous, part II" :lol:

I guess BO will win this thread.

But will LILJOL win for longest distance? :?

I live 1 mile away from my nearest buzztime site :D

Unfortunately, said site rarely has buzztime on, let alone anyone playing :cry:

Well, to start, thanks a whole bunch again, FPOMAN. :lol:

There are two sites within 1.5 miles of my humble lil abode. Most Friday's for at least the past couple of years or so, I've banged away at one of them, Gilly's Bar, on El Cajon Blvd. (the former US 80, now replaced by I-8). I've been to the other once. Image

I live 14.2 miles from the nearest site by the fastest route, 12.6 miles by narrow back roads.

Well I think i have you all beat - the closest bar to my house is in Victoria B C over 3 1/2 hours drive away, including the famed Malahat!

The site finder tells me there are bars closer but the ptb in Carlsbad do not seem to understand that i live half way up the east side of a rather LARGE island, known to the locals as Vancouver Island, not to be confused with Vancouver B.C. or Vancouver Wa.They tell me some sites on the Mainland are only 25 to 50 miles from me - SMALL problem there is an awful stretch of DEEP water between me and the Mainland, and ferry traffic is necessary.(fastest ferry crossing takes about 1 hr 25 minutes from terminus to terminus)

and LilJol thought he had it tough :lol:

About 1.5 miles to Hardtimes. The next closest are 2 BWWs and a Hooters that are pretty bad food & player wise, as would be expected. :mrgreen:

There are two within a few miles of my house. One place most of the boxes don't work and it is a chore to get trivia on. So I play at other place which is a BWW.

Five miles from Rookies. About 18 from Adams Mill, although that's only about six miles from where I work.

Closest site is about five miles, and on a bus route I can board in my neighborhood. My home site, BWW Onalaska, is about eight miles by car. There is no convenient bus service due to the excessive cheapness of Onalaska, La Crosse's biggest suburb. :roll:

There is a BWW 2.4 miles away from where I live. However, I go 12 miles in the opposite direction to the Blue Goose, where the food is better, the player quality rocks and I am a regular.

I think that asking the specs of each player (height & weight) should be reserved for a different thread ;) :lol:

IIRC, I think one of the ESPN radio shows used to get that information from its callers...maybe Dan Patrick? :?

I can see my local bar from where I live - about 250 Yards away. Just as well as I can't drive.

I live about a mile from a BWW, but I don't like playing there so I either go 7 miles to play at the Bungalow or 13 miles to play at DeMori's.

Though i live in Rhode Island (literally on the Mass\RI state line) the 2 closest are in Massachusetts. The Roasthouse in Blackstone,MA is 2 miles away and my home bar of Uno's in Bellingham,MA is 15 to 20 minutes away. Depending if I hit the lights in Bellingham center. The closest in Rhode Island is probably a 1/2 hour away.

My former home bar is a 10 minute easy walk from home or a 5 minute drive. The drive takes 5 minute because I always catch the red at the one traffic light between my house and the bar. The next closest is a new site which is a 5 to 8 minute drive depending on traffic lights; there are two. I have not been there yet because it is expensive and no one plays there.
My new home site (Diamond Lils) is exactly a 10 minute drive. There are another 4 bars within 15 minutes. Out of those 7 bars only Diamond Lils and Chicago Loop have regular players especially on Tuesday.

I live two miles from Applebee's Killearn but it's 18 miles to work. It's 20 minutes to Applebee's Capital Circle or Hooter's in Tallahassee, FL and 30 minutes to Varsity Grill and Bar from work for those after work treks during the week.
