I miss old Cooper's, the food and the building, but there's not much to do about that now.
...Sam Jones had a pit out by Greenville before he built one in Raleigh. His family runs Skylight Inn, I think he helped with that while it was still his dad's, too.

Trust me, Sam Jones is both good and real, and @natejohnson.org will back me up on this!
OTBBQ is still what and where it is.
Clyde Cooper's... I think the lady who owns it now is feuding with Raleigh. She apparently moved it up by Millbrook Rd(!). It's a whole dramatic thing...

If you wanna learn to make gumbo, @vathpela.uncooperative.org , come on back down and I'll fire up the kettle.
If you want a recipe instead of a braindump, try @sazeracla.bsky.social 's—I make the gumbo I make, but some of his other recipes are mighty fine and I figure he knows of what he speaks( :

Maybe it's not Artemis; I will readily admit that was speculation.
It may have more to do with whatever is going in that SpaceX/xAI IPO.

Isaacman would probably be just as happy to support one billionaire's spaceship company as another… I am willing to give SpaceX a lot of credit for being experienced and reliable on the operational side, tho I might have a great deal less trust in anything starship derived
