Parking deck here:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Moore+Square+Public+Parking/@35.7771621,-78.6380999,19.34z/data=!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x89ac5f726e1bca4d:0x658fe262 dcf6869a!2sChuck's+Burgers!8m2!3d35.7770936!4d-78.6381491!3m4!1s0x0:0xd80d6e56639a8652!8m2!3d35.7 773764!4d-78.637474

Like Josh said it's not far. Maybe not even a block. Probably best bet for parking unless you luck up and find a street spot. My excursion will fit in that deck for height references.

I'm still hoping on making it to dinner tomorrow evening. But a really good friend of mine back in Southern Missouri isn't doing to well, and is in the hospital with an irregular heart beat. They are talking about doing an Angiogram tomorrow if he isn't doing any better with medication that they are giving him tonight.
From what his son told me this evening, is that he (My buddy Terry) may not make it through this procedure, but they need to see whats going on. And if they don't get this straightened out, Terry may only have a month......

Sorry about your friend Bob.

I'm planning to be there tonight. I'll try to be on time but I may be running behind with work.

Chuck's Burgers. Downtown. Tonight. 5:45

I've heard from Terry's wife Nikki, and Terry was still sleeping, and his heart rate is better.
So unless I hear something today that I don't want too, then I'll be there for dinner tonight

Overheard at NCFTE dinner, on the sidewalk outside the restaurant.

*Chevrolet SUV passes by with a healthy exhaust note*

James: "That Tahoe sounds good."

Bob: "Yeah I could definitely go for some Mexican food!"

If I want an unusual and expensive cheeseburger with random imported condiments, handful of fries and an unlit gender neutral bathroom with the weirdest hand dryer I've ever seen I now know where to go.

We survived, but the name is misleading. Chucks, I'm thinking about a big nasty burger with juice dripping off of it, and taking a heart pill after I get home.
Nope, it should have been called "Yuppies" and I would have suggested someplace else. I had a few questions to say the least. And $18.50 for a small burger, 16 french fries, and a Root Beer that I had to ask twice for, and I came home and had a plate of dinner

Yeah I'm not big on going downtown anywhere really. I know there are good places to eat but my truck isn't exactly city friendly. I did try a new BBQ joint down in Benson though over the weekend. Part of a BP gas station called "Redneck BBQ Lab". Had a some burnt ends, ribs & a sandwich. Was really good but seating is limited and place was packed BC it's brand new.
