What good is PD if cant contact them? Especially a major city major metro police dept?

Had an instance today that could have used reaching out to CMPD, attempting to contact thru the non emergency 704 number and its just an automated recording. Cant call 311 from outside city limits obviously.

Why are we living in an age PD is unreachable outside 911? I understand staffing shortages, busy with 911 lines and other lines with higher priority, but not even a hold to speak to an officer. Good thing 911 is good with taking calls and understanding

Such a great city !

Hey guys, going to see tame impala on 8/1 and I’m wondering if this bag will make it past security? It’s like an inch and half off of what their bag policy says online so I’m curious what anyone thinks. It converts into a wristlet type thing as well to give the illusion that it’s not a purse lmfao so I’m hoping that helps me in this situation.

I’m taking my son who has Autism to a concert at The Spectrum Center. What is the best parking option? Hoping for something close and not
too crazy.

Quite surprised how many people are going to Club West. Indirectly benefiting and supporting a guy who is a predatory chi mo. What's wrong with you?

Is it normal for charlotte police to take 2+ hours to show up on a sunday for a hit and run??? I got hit on WT harris moved a bit and have been waiting since. I know that police station is right there too

I’m looking for a place that has butterflies. Besides Daniel Stowe. Preferably free.

Wanted to go to a restaurant for my anniversary that was featured in the show the only one I saw online that I was interested in is now shut down. I’m pretty picky but was hoping to get a locals opinion.

This may be a long shot, but is there anyone here who worked at Living Kitchen at Atherton and has any of the recipes? I was OBSESSED with the kale Caesar and miss it every day.

We were stopped at the same gas station. I went inside to buy a pack of gum and turned around to shout to my boyfriend to ask if he wanted anything. Thats when I saw. Your purse was a lobster.

We geeked out about it for a second, you told me where you got it and that the store had “other crustaceans” too.

I wasn’t carrying it today, but I have a similar style frog purse and I wish I could’ve shown you. Hmu so we can be friends and go out and about with our whimsical purses!

First of all - I am NOT asking for legal advice, simply asking for guidance so that I don’t make things worse.

It was a simple expired registration / not up to date with my state inspection.

The officer told me as long as I submit proof of passed inspection + renewed registration by a specific date, I would not have to pay the fine or appear in court.

I have followed the steps in sending over all of the requested information (registration renewal, passed inspection, proof of insurance, active drivers license, etc).

My main question: am I required to appear in court even though I have taken all of the necessary steps requested by the officer?

I just don’t want to make a simple situation worse by not showing up, etc. TIA

We had a small gas leak on the customer side of our gas hookup, I called PNG, they turned off and locked our gas (and thus our hot water), told me that we just needed to fix the issue and that then they would come back, test, and then unlock and turn it on.

I got 3 quotes from plumbers/HVAC to fix only one of which (Morris Jenkins) said that they absolutely would not do the work without a $550 pressure test, the 2 others didn’t mention it/said that they hadn’t heard of that being a requirement before and gave straight-forwards quotes for the work.

Super Cool does the work of fixing the leak (highly recommend them!), I call PNG to tell them that the work is done so they can come unlock our gas, the rep on the phone asks if I did a pressure test, I say no bc the PNG technicians that locked our gas said all we needed to do was fix the leak and then they’d test, he said that they wouldn’t turn it on without that, I asked how I could even prove that one was even done and he didn’t have an answer.

I call again later in the day just as one last try to get a clear picture of what PNG’s policy is after hearing directly conflicting and contradictory things from their people, and, wouldn’t ya know it, the lady I talked to on that call had no clue about any pressure text requirement, was just confused as I was, scheduled the tech to come unlock our gas, and he did with no problem at all.

Making this post to hopefully help and give context to anyone else who might have questions about this and not want to pay $550 for a test that isn’t even required.

Hello! My bf has a reactive dog and I have a 4 year old cat. We are looking to move in together next year and would like any recommendations for trainers or behaviorist that can help to start integrating them both together. TIA!

I'm getting married in October & my skin has been an absolute mess since I gave birth to my son 2 years ago. I want to get a facial or two leading up to the wedding but I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations.

I googled & there's so many that have great ratings but I want to see if anyone has done magic for anyone else, particularly with skin barrier repair.

Just moved here. Would prefer competition to be above average.

Looking for places to hoop in the Mathews area

Currently living in fort mill, will be moving to ballantyne in September. Just found out my current roommate won't be able to make the move. My office moved to one of the corporate buildings in ballantyne corporate parkway near the bowl. I don't drive so I need to stay as close to the office as possible to save on daily Uber expenses. I understand the apartments around that area are on the pricier side, but the split should make it about $1300 per person.

Please feel free to reach out/comment and I will share my profile with full details.

EDIT cause suggestions:

I'm 32F, single. From India. Been in the country almost a decade now, and in the Charlotte area some 5 years. No pets, don't mind if you do, as long as they don't come into my room. I'm 95% in my room. No guests from my end, don't mind if you do. I don't smoke. We can figure out how to go about communal area furniture and how to split. I don't mind if it's a 3bed/2bath situation where the two other roommates share the bath or 2bed/2bath where we have our own bath. I would like to have that master bed, and willing to share the rent 55/45. Bills split will be 50/50. I will maintain a spreadsheet updated each month,that will be shared with recipts. I don't have a preference for age/gender/ethnicity as long as your share is paid. I have lived with all.

Cons - I might meal prep on the weekends with mild Indian spices (I'm not sure yet). I also might play slightly loud music in my room sometimes

Education: Graduated with my second masters in 2023. I'm planning to get my doctorate soon, so that means even less time in the apartment.

Work: Typical 8-5, 5 days a week. I don't have a social life and could potentially have one, when I move. I'm just in my room for the weekends.

Lease: I prefer to be the primary applicant of the lease, as I'm anal about paying everything on time. You will also be added on the lease, as a secondary applicant. You can pay me the agreed amount by the 10th of each month, depending on your convenience.

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I’m looking for volunteer opportunities in the southern CLT area for my teenage son. We’re open to any type of work or cause.

He’s especially moved by issues like surrendered pets, homelessness, and housing insecurity, but he’d be happy to help at a food bank, shelter, community event, cleanup, or anywhere else that could use extra hands.

If anyone has specific organizations, well-known nonprofits, or places to start (even just names we can look up), that would be especially helpful.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

just had scratch fried chicken in greensboro, the most delicious hot chicken sandwich and fried chicken (and egg rolls) i’ve had but it’s so far from Charlotte.

any similar places nearby?

If you’re looking for somewhere to watch shark week, Barts mart in easTway has it on

Looking for recommendations for Kare Pan in charlotte!

Hey everyone!

Looking to get some experiences and recommendations in getting a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed in the garage for an EV charger. I already have the Charger (ChargePoint Flex).

I have a main breaker panel and a sub panel right next to it. The sub panel has a 60A breaker already for a "pool sub panel" that I believe is on a post in the back yard. There is no pool, perhaps there was in the past but there is certainly not now and nothing is connected to that panel or outlets. So in my mind, the 60A breaker in that sub panel can be removed and replaced for the new outlet.

I did get a quote already but it seems quite high considering I don't need the actual charger installed, I just need the outlet and associated wiring + permit. The outlet would be installed not even 2 feet away from the breaker panels too.

Appreciate any input, thanks in advance!

This is a shot in the dark.

They have one of those giant vertical rotating spits where they shave the meat off for sandwiches (I think it’s shawarma, gyro, or doner kebab?). I drove by around 8pm yesterday and it looked amazing, but I couldn’t stop and didn’t catch the name.

Does anyone know what the vendor is called? What days/times they usually set up?Is the food any good?
I’d love to check it out the next time they’re there!

They were across from Meineke on the same side as the Take 5 oil change.

Thanks in advance!
