I was just looking at the red clay court in Germany. What is that building in the rear? Looks like public housing I would expect to see during the cold war.

You don't have to write a review. Just let me know what you think of it.

That facility was in East Berlin. It's a pretty amazing city in that you can see the results of capitalism side by side with communism.

Cool

Didn't scan the thread so I'm not sure if this is old news...Disney Wide World of Sports tennis complex is the site for a tourney hosted by USTA & FSU tennis. The tourney will be held Nov. 2-4 and will feature many NCAA players from top 1-A teams and top USTA junior players.

I'm not sure of any link to get more details...I first heard of it from the FSU athletics website.

Yes - I believe the Gators will be there. Probably a bit pricey to get in. It is Disney, afterall.

My wife has a friend who grew up in East Germany and even though nobody had money, she did feel like there was always a safety net. When the wall came down, the East Germans all felt very unsafe now having to compete for jobs. It's a really interesting story to me no matter where you sit on the political spectrum.

We are getting Disney passes as Xmas gifts this year. Now those are not cheap.

Hey man, welcome back. There is a guy who strings at the shop down on I-drive who likes the Golden Set Velvet. I don't know if he has tried their polys though. I won't buy a reel without trying a set first, but that is just me.

Speaking of giveaways, I think I've talked Jeff into trying a set of Thunder Blast. Still got 1 more to give away.

Will do. It's in the packaging so it won't be a bird's nest like some of the string I've given you in the past.

Hey Mikeler,

I live in the Sanford/Orlando area and looking to find others that play. Im 24 years old, 4.5-5.0 solid player. Where can I go to find higher quality players to hit singles or doubles? Any pickup games around the area? Seems like you know the best areas to play and meet quality players. Thanks

Easy answer is Orlando Tennis Center downtown. You can sometimes find pickup matches on the weekend mornings there and during weekday lunches.

Thanks for the reminder. Bad Call, I'll be at OTC both mornings this weekend. Tomorrow I have to leave by 10 AM but hopefully I can stay until 11 AM or so on Sunday depending if Jeff has some dubs I can plug into. I'll also be down there Tuesday and Wednesday at 5 PM.
