How long has it been since Gusā€™s closed?

I have a feeling the answer is going to make me feel very old.

Loved Gusā€™s. Great Italian food. They had a ā€œformalā€ side and a ā€œcasualā€ side. And 49er memorabilia as soon as you walked in the door. Great supporters of our University.

You didnā€™t disappoint Runā€¦ You couldā€™ve lied to make me feel better. :winking_face_with_tongue:

Truth is, I think is only ate there once or twice. I remember it fondly. But itā€™s been a while.

I wonder if someone has written a book on Greeks in Charlotte and their influence on the culinary scene? Impressive the number of Greek founded restaurants in the area.

What a shame to hear about the WFAE stuff. Love those guys. Steve Harrison might be one of the best reporters in the city as well.

And with origins at UNC Charlotte in the Cone Center. Was friends with station manager Bo Pittman - we attended the same church too - and took a number of history classes with station faculty advisor Ed Perzel, who was also an occasional running parter back in the day.

Thatā€™s really cool! Yeah thereā€™s a lot of mention about the origins at UNCC but not much detail any deeper than that.

I really enjoyed listening to WFAE for many years and financially supported them, then so much of their content became political leaning. Not surprised they are struggling.

Big names like Innovation Homes and Tricon Residential are leading the pack, with nearly 1 in 4 homes being rentals.
