A: The airport itself is pretty standard. The cab line can be ridiculously long. Even though the strip is literally a mile away from your gate as the crow flies it can take 45 minutes to an hour to get there. The security lines always seem longer than most, especially for the legacy carriers. The food choices past security are pretty lame.

A: Nothing like having your walking/hiking shoes crap out on a road trip. This happened to me in Pittsburgh, about 2000 miles from home. I saw some shoes I liked in the window of this store and thought I'd take a chance. The store is geared to a fairly athletic and younger market than I am-- I'm in my 60s and walk a lot but would hardly qualify as their target market-- and yet I was welcomed and helped by a very knowledgeable, nice, friendly, and patient sales clerk (Danielle) who knew her merchandise very well and listened to the details of what I was looking for. She brought out several pair of shoes and could actually SEE a positive change in how I was standing and walking when we found a pair that worked. They weren't the ones I came in for and, in fact, were even cheaper than the ones I really liked, but I've worn them every day for a week, including standing for several hours in museums and tours of attractions on the way home, and they've been extremely comfortable, with the arch support and cushioning I need. So kudos to Danielle for treating me with the same respect and helpfulness and the hard-core runners who probably make up a fair share of their clientele. She knew much more about the products they carry and was able to analyze what I said I was looking for (and what she saw in how I walk) and apply it to a pair of Brooks-- a new brand for me and one I'm liking very much. Awesome customer service. I've had the shoes for a week and they've been absolutely perfect for my needs. (I may even try them out in my Zumba class when I get home.) Many thanks. I will be back when I'm in the area again and I recommend the staff, store, selection, and location highly.

Q: negative

A:
The Press Box won't impress you from the outside, & definitely won't impress you once you get inside. Think grungy sports bar when you enter & you'll be right on point. I went here with some coworkers for lunch during the ACC Tourney to watch the Heels play. Luckily, even though there isn't much room inside this place, there weren't too many people in here so we got our choice of seating. They had a decent smattering of tv's throughout, with an old projection tv in one area that looked yellowed from smoke abuse through the years. My food wasn't anything spectacular here but it was better than I expected based on the look of the place. Needless to say, our waitress/bartender was very nice & made us feel welcome in a place I felt out of place. She also quipped about the place being called "The Depressed Box" which I found pretty humorous & fitting. I wasn't of fan of this place, but I can see if you were a regular here then it could definitely be a nice little hometown bar to get away from the crowds while you grabbed a few cold ones. But The Press Box just isn't for me & I probably won't be heading back here too often.
