I only found longhorn steakhouse yesterday when I was out walking around....had to do a supply run that way yesterday. Sitting at the end booth still....waiting. There is a guy with a laptop as well but with two hearing aids. not sure if its skid or not but this guy does have glasses and a beard but its not white as skid described, also no cane. Been here at mcdonalds for awhile now.

This is real middle school bs. Show up an hour early and then claim nobody has showed. Problem is I parked outside in the handicapped spot parallel to the front of the building at just about 2:45. Via ginia plates and a honking big Guns Save Lives sticker on the back window.

Went inside at 3:10 and nobody but a few families with small kids. Nobody freaked out - actually nobody said anything.

I'm giving him another 10 minutes to come back or officially calling a troll.

Also not sure where JC.cruiser is.

stay safe.

Confusion over which McDonalds I guess. We will have to wait on BC to get the low down on Patriot. Considering the confusion, if it was I, would have made another attempt to meet with Skid before he left. Skid traveled to meet him after all, and he did not give what I would call good directions.

Were phone numbers exchanged? Hopefully you guys were able to resolve locations and have the meet-up.

I originally said the mcdonalds just off of center street/highway 70 se and theres only one mcdonalds at that location. In case I did not post it here, in this thread, I will now. I also private messaged skid with the exact address shortly after I saw his post at 1530 hours...I did try giving him another chance by staying 47 minutes longer than the planned timespan ending of 1700 hours.

These are the five Hickory McDonalds and their address directly from their website. There is only one on Center st. and the address for the one you were at has no mention of Center st. Hopefully you can see where YOU caused the confusion.

I'm home, folks.

Apparently he is not as much a troll as he is unable to provide an actual street address.

My guess is bc.cruiser is familiar with the area and knows that when you say the McDonalds on Center Street you do not mean the one actually on Center Street but the one sort of near Center Street.

Except that I cruised the entire length of the street that the city fathers in Hickory saw fit to put up signs designating it as "Center Street" - there was not another McDonalds along that roadway. That being the case, I took action to make the opening statement of this post happen.

stay safe.
