10 struggles only Myers Park residents will understand

(1) Wondering if it’s okay to eat popcorn at Blackhawk Hardware without buying anything.

(2) Trying to take a sip of your Little Spoon coffee only to realize that the cup has no handles! It’s European.

(3) You’ve decided that you want to get a great butt, but you just don’t know the difference between Hilliard, Pure Barre, Metro Fitness and Carolina Barre.

(4) Trying to figure out if it’s okay to be on Montford after 8pm on a weekend if you’re over 30, in a relationship or walking with TCBY yogurt instead of a beer.

(5) Heading to the Myers Park Country Club golf range only to realize that you have to hit off the mats today. Arrgggh.

(6) Telling yourself it’s okay that you don’t live on Queens Road West because the traffic is just getting too busy, when in reality you just don’t have the money. Unless you live on Hermitage, then you do have the money.

(7) Wondering what the heck that sound is, then realizing it’s the Myers Park High band.

(8) Figuring out if the church building is Myers Park Methodist or Myers Park Presbyterian because you already gave up on which parking lot is which.

(9) Going to OpenTable and realizing that Good Food doesn’t take reservations.

(10) Evaluating whether or not to go to the Taco Bell now that’s it’s been remodeled. Oh wait, you wouldn’t be caught dead there.
