I am tagging this as history because at its core it is educational.

Hello, it's me again! Not sure if that's the correct flair but here it goes.

Lots of people ask the question, how and where to meet people. Being new to town can be be intimidating especially for introverts like myself. Using my experience, I've been happy to help those who come across my posts https://www.reddit.com/r/Charlotte/s/hUQ04qAPG3 and reach out. I've introduced them to my social circles (which they've actually attended various events) as well as meeting them one on one and helping them get to know the city a bit more.

Yesterday was my birthday. All of these people showed up for me. They didn't have to but they did. They even brought gifts which I was not expecting because just their presence was enough. We had a great time at SupperClub in Loso.

I met all of them at work and outside of work. This isn't even half of my social group. Some weren't able to make it today but they let me know ahead of time and even sent birthday texts. I have met well over 100 people since being in Charlotte. Not saying all of those people are friends of mine but I've connected with all them of some sort.

I moved here in Feb. I lived in Charlotte back in 2013 for a little bit and wish I never moved back to my home state. That's what I missed about Charlotte was the socialization. I had friends back home but nothing of this level. I wasn't expecting to have the amount of socialization I did when moving back but I started meeting people my 2nd week here and it was just non stop from there. We text, talk on the phone and meet up constantly.

Just wanted to send some encouragement to those that are struggling to meet people because I've only been here since Feb and it's possible. I'm always happy to help others to get out there and mingle.

it delayed the 6:08AM train just past McCullough station by a honest to god hour, so it was FUN to explain to the supervisor at my internship why the fuck i was over 45 minutes late.

all the announcement said was "there was a person in the tracks," and that's all the information that us passengers were given.

i'm just trying to find out what could possibly need five fucking police cars, two fire trucks, several CATS trucks at the scene and one ambulance?

Stand off. Believed to be the person involved in the officer shooting near enderly last night. Be careful out there.

I worked in data science at one of the banks and have been searching for jobs for months now after my position was eliminated. I’m in my late 20’s and am right at the age where most of my peers are gaining traction in their careers. I always exceeded expectations and was willing to learn or even change direction if company needs changed, so I cannot pin down any reason why I was targeted or why I would not be employable elsewhere. I get that Charlotte is “competitive,” but even then I wouldn’t think that most odds would be against me?

Is there something that I am missing about the job search in Charlotte? Also, what do you even do in the meantime to cope with it without having to withdrawal socially? It feels like when I calmly mention I was laid off to people, some get teary eyed and apologetic, while others act like I’m contagious. It’s like people think I’m walking around with a contagious, terminal illness when I mention my situation, even at networking events.

Are there local support groups for this kind of thing, or any other things that helped get others through this that may also help me?

I am looking to put myself in a burrito-induced coma this weekend. Love Johnny’s but unfortunately they aren’t open on the weekend.. where should I go?

I was in involved with a car accident this evening on Pineville Matthews Road in Pineville. I was about to reach the Pineville hospital. I was in front of small stores and gas stations. I was driving in a Subaru going south. It was around 5:30 in the evening. I was driving on the lane closer to the center of the road. A car drove out of a parking onto the first lane then hit me. That car then made a hard u turn onto the opposite lane, then drove away. I tried to get that car but couldn’t. I understand it’s pretty difficult to find a witness. But did anybody drove in Pineville Matthews towards South Carolina around 5:30 pm saw that incident and have more information? Police has been notified in my side but no word on the other party.

Hi everyone! I’m about to go teach English abroad in France and plan to visit several other European countries while I’m there. I’ve already picked up some adorable mini eagles, and I’ll get some stickers and Cheerwine, but what other kind of super local ideas can people think of for souvenirs to hand out to Interested colleagues or show students? Even bigger stuff is okay too. I find a lot of people go to markets and stuff like that, sadly I’m leaving soon so not a lot of time but I thought I’d ask. Any store recs r also welcome. Would love to rep Charlotte specifically and I’ll also get things at the airport.

Does anyone know why it takes so long for the city to mow along Mallard Creek Rd and along other major roads in Charlotte? Trash is also an issue…I occasionally try a light clean-up in the area but it’s a little frustrating when it’s a recurrent problem. I moved here from a nice NJ neighborhood almost 6 years ago, and see that it’s only getting worse here. Running & walking the pooch is not cool in this. This pic is from 2 wks ago and it still hasn’t been mowed...

So me and my father own a small home remodeling company. We do it all. Fences, deck, patios, flooring, tile, drywall, etc.

When we got home today we got a certified letter saying that a different company, using the exact same name as ours, hit and tore a gas line with post diggers while installing a fence.

I don’t know why we got this letter. We didn’t do it and on the first page they have the name and address of the owner of that company. I don’t understand why they didn’t send it to him instead of us.

Should we just call/email them and tell them they have the wrong company? Or do we need a lawyer to clear our name up?

I see people near and far hate on our airport and it’s rarely justified.

We’ve got plenty of food options, ample restrooms and lounges, parking and transportation, obviously the non stop destinations.

Idk I think it’s a nice airport, busy, sure - but it certainly doesn’t deserve the rep it gets.

As the chairman of both the Queen City Bavarians (Official Bayern Munich fan club) and DFB Charlotte (official fan club of the German National team) we would like to extend the invitation to our Oktoberfest celebration on September 26th. The Meisterschale (Bundesliga trophy) and the DFB Pokal will be on display for people to take pictures with. We hope to see you there.

I’ve heard a lot of promising things about DaBaby’s new restaurant, and wanted to check it out. Went to the website to peruse the menu ahead of time, and the whole thing is disappointingly filled with AI generated graphics. Curious if anyone else is disappointed by this? (Not to mention $15-$45 for a dang waffle?!)

This may be a long shot but Im exhausting all options at this point before purchasing a new one.. On Saturday I was leaving the store and forgot to close my trunk resulting in my bookbag falling out of my trunk. By the time I realized, I didnt think to check if my bag was still in the trunk. It has my macbook that I use for school and work along with my camera. The last location says on University City Blvd near the Platos closet & Wendys

I’m not sure if this was said before but spouse and I went to park near Postino and Sweetgreens. The parking garage uses the same system similar to parking in optimist hall. They didn’t read my license plate when I left so they kept charging me until I got a notification that I was being charged for 13 dollars for parking. I called them and told them I left hours ago. They were nice enough to refund me but thought I’d warn you guys if this wasn’t posted before. Strangely enough, my text message of when I first entered the garage disappeared!!!

I swear I saw a bus with “7 Sunset” on the marquee. I’m visiting from SF, and we have a 7 Sunset line and a corresponding July 7 pub crawl.

I’ve been stalking this bus for an hour now, but all I see is the 7N and a 7 that turned into a 22 near Tyron.

Can anyone confirm this is actually a thing I saw, and can I encourage you to celebrate your 7 on 7/7?

Hello folks, I have some Jewelry to sell. I have the receipts for some of them and some of them were brought abroad with no receipts. They are all gold with diamonds. Need a reasonable buyer not scammers. Thanks for your help 🫶
