This is the best place in Charlotte, NC to watch a Carolina Panthers football game...unless you actually get to go to the game. It's the "Garage-Ma-Hal," Bill and Cindy Buchanan's garage-turned-Panther locale and memorabilia haven. 5 TVs, 3 recliners, 2 wet bars, and every square inch COVERED with Panther memorabilia. NOW...if we ONLY had a team that was going to the playoffs. Oh well...I'm still a big fan!
Aja, FORGET the car, it's outta there! It all started when Bill wanted to smoke his cigars during the game, but Cindy sent him outside. He took a portable TV to the garage and the rest is history. ESPN.com came there to film it the night these pictures were taken. You cannot believe the stuff he's accumulated in there!
Konnie - it's man cave extraordinaire! Even the floor is covered with the old carpet that used to be in the Panther's locker room. It's always great to be invited there for a game - lots of fun!
Bruce, the pictures don't even do it justice. I forgot to talk about his new "Whisker Wagon," an old church bus painted up in Panthers colors, with Panther upholstery and carpeting. The use it to go to all the games and tailgate. Unbelievable!
Melissa, lol, I always knew that garages weren't meant to park cars in them!!
You're right, June - and this particular garage will never see another car - until it's sold!
That really is a "Garage-Ma-Hal". . .I've seen some garage conversions, but that one is on steroids:-)
Hi Melissa! Now, that is MY kind of a garage! I love it! I also think I know Bill but, am not sure! I think we have mutual friends but, again, not sure. Any-who--they've got the coolest Panther pad around!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Hi Debe, Bill is in the second picture, to the left behind the bar. He has on a Panther blue T-shirt, and he's standing in between his wife Cindy, in the black T-shirt, and some guy wearing a white #17 Delhomme jersey. Bill sells insurance for Nationwide, and he lives at Lake Wylie.
I'm in high-task cleaning mode before the family gets here for Thanksgiving! Have a great one!
