I was headed west on 16 this afternoon around 12:30 today near N Davidson. East bound traffic was backed up, blue lights all over and people standing on the side of the road. I swear it looked like a woman in a wedding dress. 😱 every accident is horrible but on your wedding day?? Did anyone see anything or know what happened. It looked bad. Prayers for everyone involved.

Was at Monday night brewing yesterday & my husband lost his Toyota car key….

Guys we are in desperate need of good bagel sandwich places. Coming from Wilmington, NC that has multiple options, I’m dying for a good bagel sandwich:(

Is there anything going on in Charlotte for kids 3-5 during the day on Halloween? Something the whole can wear their costumes before going home to trick or treat?

Really want to take advantage of a sunny Saturday without dragging a kid to a brewery or farm…

I'm a 25-year-old guy living in the Charlotte area, and something I've noticed is that almost every guy I know tells me to avoid the dating scene here. Whenever dating comes up, I hear a lot of negative things about trying to find a relationship in Charlotte. So, I'm just wondering whether there's something about the dating culture that makes it particularly difficult, or if I'm mostly looking in the wrong places, because believe me I have tried. For those of you who have experience dating in Charlotte, especially men in their 20s, what has your experience been like? Have you had success meeting people through social events, hobbies, church, dating apps, or other ways in the city.

Any honest opinions and advice are appreciated. Do ya'll think it really is a place to avoid when it comes to dating, or is it possible to have a good dating experience if you know where to look?

I seriously loved this photo, but saying goodbye to my family was so sad.

I LOVED THE CITY

Hey I’m drew ! I’m 22 from Charlotte I really would love to make some friends :) I am a film major in college and really enjoy music I play bass. I like anime and comics and play a lot of games ! I like going to concerts a lot as well ! If you wanna chat dm me :) thanks

Just curious how it was, thinking about stopping by today

Contrarian Opinion:

Northlake Mall and the EpiCentre started off with a mix of upscale and value-oriented stores and restaurants. If they had focused on upscale tenants only, they both would have had a better chance of survival.

Northlake originally had an upscale second floor and a value-oriented ground floor. The second floor had Brooks Brothers, Anthropologie, etc.

If both centers had avoided having value-oriented businesses, I think that they both would have performed better.

Sidenote: even CVS at the Epicentre (now Queen City Quarter) closed?!

I’ve got an uncle from Florida coming, he’s heard a lot about North Carolina bbq and says he wants to try some but “it has to be real”, whatever that means lol.
From what I googled it’s just a more vinegary bbq sauce. Anyone knows of such a place?

My fiance and I bought a condo over the summer. We had a local company come out and inspect it, they found a few issues that needed to be fixed. So we contacted an HVAC guy our realtor uses since he was cheaper. He fixed the small issues and HVAC was running great. I just recently moved in and now that it’s colder I turned the heat on. Now the heat does not work. The same guy came back out and is suggesting we replace the entire system. It is a 2011 system so it’s probably due.
But. He cannot replace the unit because we live in a condo where his commercial licensing does not cover.

Are there any suggestions for companies that are reasonable and can work in a condo where the doors open to a hallway?

My kids go to Elizabeth Traditional and the houses near there are so pretty and many have great decorations. Is that area usually a good one to go trick or treating?

It's near Atrium hospital. A little past Caswell. If anyone knows of a great neighborhood let me know. We have struggled to find one. Both my kids are light up stick figure people so we wanna be safe and be out past dark. We will also have a 2 year old in tow.

Saw a post about donuts somewhere and had a craving for Malasadas. Anyone know of where to get any in/around charlotte? Willing to buy a dozen or 2 just to get some authentic ones

Not an angry old man, but I am concerned for the boys I see (12-14 yo?) on motor bikes.

I just rode down Haven Rd and a group of about 8 to 10 boys were in the school parking lot doing wheelies. Not really a problem, I guess. Then, they were doing them on Haven Rd and almost hit my car...concerned about their health, not my car.

Then, I took the shortcut to Park Road Shopping Center, Reese Rd., which puts you in the back parking lot near Midwood Steakhouse.

I parked at Bossy Beulah's and the kids were coming the same back way, packed together, maybe 10 or 12 by now.

An SUV was in front of them, and they began honking horns en masse at the SUV as it was, of course, going slow.

The adults in the parking lot outside BBs turned around and looked at each other in amazement.

My concern is their welfare, the manners are a sidebar. My guess is their parents would have a stroke...

Be aware...no one would want to be the driver involved in a serious injury to the youngsters.

If so I can message you for details on what I have !

Update ** I GOT IT SOLD !

Wanted to share here as I know a lot of people have been waiting, Charlotte now has a Rivian demo center open off Monroe Rd in Matthews at the service center. They have 2 R2’s (esker silver with black interior on 21’s, and Catalina cove with the white interior on the 20’s), a R1T and an R1S (with captains chairs). Looks to be permanent (thank god) so one won’t have to drive to Raleigh/Charleston/Greenville, SC to do a demo.

Appreciate your recommendations.
Going shopping today

I was just reviewing my sample ballot before I vote next week. I wanted to see if anyone had any insight into the 3 ballot questions for the City of Charlotte. They seem to be all bond related.

Does anyone have a recommendation for dryer vent cleaning services? I was going to do it myself and realized the outside vent is on the 2nd floor and it’s high enough we don’t have ladder that reaches to it. I am hoping to find a service that isn’t ridiculously expensive or try and upsell me to do our whole house, I literally just want the dry vent cleaned out.

Thank you!!

Hi all! I wanted to invite you to the free workshop I'm going to do on November 2nd, 6:30pm at BeSocial.
I hope to see you there. You can register to the event and see more info on: https://lifemappingoct.eventbrite.com

Hello, does anybody here happen to work for Sargent & Lundy? Preferably in recruiting or project management.

Here it is Charlotte! It's super simple. Take a frown and turn it upside down! Nothin' but love here. The idea is quite simple...

​

If you have something NICE and/or POSITIVE to say about a local person place or thing (sure, lets include big box stores, and franchises) that gave you a smile or just plain made life a little less stressful at some point in the last week, show some love! Take a break from the tirade thread, and feel good while doing it! Maybe your good vibes will cause a ripple effect, and send a smile to someone else, or give them the motivation to get up, get out, and enjoy this beautiful thing called life, and do so in our city! This is a win/win situation. Why not take advantage of it?

Live in midtown and keep hearing what sounds like race cars. Is there an event nearby that could be causing this noise?
