Thanks Ran, keep me posted on the "Astorientation" and I have been looking for somewhere that serves NC BBQ but do not have high hopes. And it has to be the western NC style BBQ.

Hi Ran, thank you for the welcome. I've never joined a group like this before so I don't know much about how to use the site. Are there any tutorials to see? I'm very interested to meet people in Astoria. Thanks!

Thanks for the warm welcome Ran. It's good to see a fellow SW Ohioan in Astoria. I've only been to Portsmouth a few times, but I know several people who attended Shawnee State, so I'm very familiar with the area.

Noticed that you were soliciting fellow Bengals fans in the fall to watch the games. I'm a bit late this year, but I'm fiercely loyal to all Cincinnati teams and would be definitely be interested in the future. Hope to see you around.
