With the recent resolution of the NFL lockout, another more perilous lockout is looming in its background. The NBA and it's players association have yet to reach any agreement whatsoever and according to officials are in fact regressing . The CBA or "Collective Bargaining Agreement" is a set of terms reached by the NBA, its owners, and the players. These terms determine, things like the amount of money a player can be paid, to the length a practice can be. Obviously with that many effects to agree on, it takes some serious negotiating on both sides in order to reach a resolution.

Pine 22 is a gourmet burger restaurant located Downtown (Orlando) on Pine St ( close to the orange ave intersection). This review came from necessity. I have never eaten a turkey burger this good.So good I came back... and  back again. The variety of toppings, buns, burger meats, and sides are just enough to let you have a new burger experience each time you come or provide that perfect combination you may never change. They boast " we have over 322,000 ways to make your burger" on their Facebook page and that is just insane. Tags: review, restaurant, downtown, orlando, pine 22, burgers, check it out, chris biggins

Kush is a very unorthodox venue. It is located inside Kathmandu, Downtown Orlando's only smoke/head shop on Court (next to Cleo's/Vain between Pine and Central). To gain access to the Kush hooka lounge you need a security code (which they happily provide) and walk up a flight of stairs. The entry experience is pretty friggin cool to be honest. The place is really comfortable and relaxing. The space is all white  with LED lighting that makes the small 20 person hooka lounge change a variety of colors.

Orlando is always getting some of the best DJs, rock bands, hip hop acts, and pop stars on a regular basis. There are a number of reasons as to why that is. We’re a global destination with an international melting pot of visitors on par with the likes of New York City and Los Angeles. If you’re a musician, what better way to get your songs out there than come to the tourist Mecca that is the Mouse. Parents taking their families to all of the resorts and their kids too cool to be dragged around the Magic Kingdom by mom and dad.
