Just went there to get my son an early Christmas present! Nothing like other newer "MicroCenter" stores, this one is a little claustrophobic. Rather dubious "open box" practices, I asked but it was "in the back" and the salesperson eventually (took him a while) brought it out and opened the box. The motherboard was sitting on top of the anti-static bag, no cpu cover for the pins and a bunch of "fluff n crud" in amongst the pins! Very, very shady and they wanted $373 for this normally $469 mobo! Bought new, WILL NEVER GO TO THIS STORE EVER AGAIN, I will spend several hours going to the new store in Indianapolis, IN.
Thank you-that’s so encouraging, Alberto! We plan on shooting one (probably) next week, explaining why we’ve been away, and then on to more usual stuff after that. Cheers and thanks again!
Well, to be fair, it looks about the same quality as its competitors-on the surface, at least. And it did seem clean. So, definitely not luxurious, but decent enough for a value-to-moderately-priced hotel. We do intend to review some other places in the area; see what they’re reeeeeally like. There’s TownePlace Suites by Marriott that just opened up in Florence next to Target, and a large Hampton Inn & Suites in Williamstown next to Ark Encounter will be up and running for 2023.
We were in there a few months ago and it was almost entirely empty. Maybe 2 stores. The store that took the place of Barnes and Noble was already closed down and apparently the others never opened cause it's a ghost town.
Whaaat?! That’s so nuts. We’ll have to go again when we can. (Our little guy was born without an immune system [SCID] and had a bone marrow transplant in October, but I’m sure we’ll head that way once he’s good to go. 👍).
totally want to visit Jungle Jim's. Been hearing about it. I'm way over here in Philadelphia, PA. Maybe will plan a road trip for the fun of it one of these days. 🐈⬛
@@MikeLizLife The Reading Terminal Market has tons of vendors foodwise and otherwise, including Amish produce, meat, and dairy. Of course, everything is about history here, so the constitution center, liberty bell, holocaust memorial, Sprouts Market, the Italian Market and...of course...the rocky statue (now at the bottom of the steps of the art museum)! 🙏...can't forget the infamous cheesesteak wars between Genos and Pat's (an entirely different area of the city altogether)
I worked at First Watch as a line cook and food prep while in college. They have no microwaves or deep fryers. We arrived early each morning to prep everything. Even the whipped butter is made fresh, in house; no joke. Every juice on the menu is made fresh each morning with a high quality, commercial juicer and fresh fruit. If there’s any left at the end of the day, they either dump it or allow us to take some home. I was amazed with how much detail they put into their “fresh” mentality. We had 3 ring binders in the back prep area with recipes for everything we needed to make fresh for the day. I took pictures of a few of the juice and granola recipes. Looking back, wish I would have taken more. Great food and they aren’t lying when they say fresh. I actually enjoyed that job. Great place to work and they close at 2pm so you had the rest of the day for yourself.
Alan, thank you for going into such detail in your comment-that’s all fantastic to know! We really love their food and snag it when we get the chance. Something we haven’t tried yet are their seasonal juice blends. The Purple Haze they have right now looks phenomenal! What were your go-tos there?
Oh wow have things changed Alan. I was an Operations Manager up until a month ago. Although I’ll agree the hours were amazing and it was an ok place to work. Virtually nothing is fresh anymore. The Juices are fresh. But everything else is pre packaged nowadays. Even the potatoes. It’s actually kind of gross. The butter is 100% not prepared anymore along with the sauces. Certain LTO sauces are but it’s very few. Still no microwaves.
Thank you so much! We’ll have to check out your channel! We’d love to head back eventually and just take our time; do things like the bike path, amusement parks, zoo, local restaurants, etc.
Bud, we prefer hearing people’s opinions in comments-even if they’re negative-over dislikes, which don’t tell us anything meaningful. For a little context, when this video was shot, NY State was requiring mask use in their parks when members of multiple parties were in close proximity. However, if it’s the aesthetic choice you’re protesting, then hopefully our editing has and will continue to improve. Feedback definitely helps. May you have a nice day!
If you do be sure to take pics ! Fall colors are breathtaking !! Oh man the hatchery as well its on the way thanks for the chat see you on the river LOL be safe!!
I grew up in that town best time of my life was there for the first salmon run!!! I hope they pack out what they bring river wardens are important good vid thanks
@@MikeLizLife I was near Bradford, PA hiking in the Allegheny National Forest the day before I went to Presque Isle. I stayed in Bradford overnight and made the trip to Erie via mostly 1-86. The Lighthouse Tour was $7, but it was well worth it with the views and history. My family is from Western New York, but I’m from Florida. My uncle has a hunting cabin in the Southern Tier section of NY, so I did some hiking there as well before I went into PA. I’ve wanted to go to Presque Isle for a long time, but I’m glad I was able to go this time.
Thank you so much! 🥰 We actually just had a little boy in June, and wouldn’t you know it: he has auburn hair and his mama’s smile! 😊 Perhaps someday we’ll be blessed with a little girl who looks just like him. 😄 ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️ He has a serious immune disorder (SCID) that will require a bone marrow transplant, so it’s a rough season, but he’s such a joy! 🥰
Hello brother, Is Erie good place to live? How about the people of Erie? Can you please make video of Erie city ? Adding earning availability, facilities,places to watch and enjoy, special food of Erie and so on...
Hello ,I just watched a bunch of First Watch Video Reviews and I wanna say I'm glad you two had a great time,but it's not wat you think it is! We on my channel and my crew are making a documentary about First Watch and all of us have worked there for 5years,7years,and me 11 years so be on the look out for our documentary!! Plz subscribe! 😊
Best grilled cheese 🧀 I've had in my life 😋. Four different types of cheese and bacon 🥓. This items is not on most menus at first watch but if you know of it you can order it 😉
Your welcome Mike @ Liz . First watch was my family's favorite restaurant when we live in lakemary Florida. We would visit the location in Longwood. Good luck I hope you can still order the grilled cheese. Keep me posted 👍😄
@@MikeLizLife currently we are living back in New jersey . We have a similar restaurant called turning point in Homdel . Check it out if you visit . Very healthy
It really was nice; we hope to return in the near future. 😊 So far we’ve only stayed at the Margaritaville Island Inn in Pigeon Forge, and it was great overall (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mjInn62jNCk.html). There are loads of other options, though, depending on what you’re into. The next time we visit, we would like to spend at least one night closer to Gatlinburg itself, so we might consider a cabin, or something like Fairfield Inn & Suites. Are you going to be heading that way soon?!
WAIT. I don't understand what their excuse would be for no coffee. The whole place seemed bad. Anyway, great job as always, guys! It was nice to see you on here again. :)
