Lizard 0 #2 June 4, 2004 Ummm..... ask around about "Ricks" (If it is still there)..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaGimp 0 #3 June 4, 2004 "Ricks" never heard of it, now as far as clubs go......there is ITZ and Southbeach are pretty good, of course your varity of strip clubs. Most any club around here are "members and their guests" type places....kinda sucks. You have the 82nd and SF operations museam in downtown fayettevliie, very cool to see. Then you have beaches close by, Wilmington, Myrtle. DZ's, you have of course Raeford, The Skydiving Place real close to fayetteville, Skydive Coastal Carolinas about an hour away....by wilmington beach."Professor of Pimpology"~~~Bolas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harryskydives 0 #5 June 5, 2004 I cant beleive Rick's is closed. the home of th ibtc. Of course it has been 20 years since i was there, and Ricks had been around for 20+ before that. So go to the Beach, I am sure it is still there. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #6 June 5, 2004 I haven't been to that area in almost 30 years. I'd love to go back and do some jumping and just revisit some of my old haunts for old time sake. Fayateville used to be kind of a rough place back in the 70's. I had two of my pals beat up there, and another was knifed. Maybe it's different place now. I heard Myrtle Beach is nice. I didn't get too far from Ft. Bragg, when I was there. And don't forget to take your rig....Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #8 June 6, 2004 QuoteI cant beleive Rick's is closed. Technically, it's not. It was moved to Bragg Blvd when the city rezoned the downtown(Hays street) area. All of the dens of deceit where moved out of the block to make way for city Hall. Ricks is now called Mickeys and it is co located with like establishments in a little horse shoe shaped plaza with a mexican grocery store and a Plasma center. Definitely check out the 82nd and SF museum if you have the chance."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #11 June 7, 2004 Kitty's Place is a great spot for pool and swilling beers. It's off Bragg RD IIRC. Legends can be pretty crazy on the weekends. Bragg Blvd. If you're done with the biker bars and just want to go trailer park there is always Pirates. Just outside the back gate of Pope, AFB. They have hot bartenders and wet t-shirt contests.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #13 June 7, 2004 Biker bars abound in Fayettenam and there are also several places for pretentious yuppies (ITZ, Broadstreet). The problem with North Carolina, though, is that unless the establishment does half their business as food sales, then they must be a private club with a three day minimum in order to get your card. Without a card, one must either have a friend sign them in or beg a stranger. I am sure there are people on here who have memberships to anyplace you might want to visit.

dgskydive 0 #14 June 7, 2004 Quote "Ricks" never heard of it, You guys dont' know what you are missing. Ricks was the bomb! I left that place with an empty wallet many a nights. When they where 1st talking of closing it down, I remeber petition that was started by the 82nd society. They gathered tons of signatures to no avail. It was a tradition in division to take the newbies their. Shitty little place but lost of fun when it was rockin! LONG LIVE RICK'S LOUNGE!Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgskydive 0 #16 June 7, 2004 Cloud 9! Wow! I forgot about that place. You could go in and sign a book that said you wouldn't drink ifyou where under 21, then go straight to the bar! Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumper03 0 #17 June 8, 2004 Quote"Ricks" never heard of it, How long have you been at Bragg? Rick's was the place to be a few years ago. Closed down when the city started revamping downtown. No idea if it's still alive or not. As for cloud nine - isn't that the little bar on the corner just off the rr tracks near the old channel 40 building? If so - don't go there...
