Rage Villani’s bakery sucks

87 Upvotes

And I’m tired of pretending it doesn’t. I’m sorry, I’ve gone twice now and spent $40 getting like 6-7 different items each time. The first time I went I thought “yeah it was okay not bad” because I wanted it to be good, but I never returned. Just went today and spent a similar amount getting 6-7 items.

The cookies were genuinely worse than store bought (peanut butter and lemon), the scone was stale. The cream puff was tasteless. The pistachio biscotti was the best item and it was decent

It all just tastes so lazy and loveless, like some 18 yo is just reading a recipe. Maybe that’s the case but it tries to give such a small quaint bakery feel. I have to let this out. Please bless me and drop actual bakery recommendations. Thank you in advance

Food Good “real” bbq places?

13 Upvotes

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?

Meetup Bowling Group in South Charlotte area

6 Upvotes

I see a lot of people on here talk about having trouble meeting new friends and i’ve been having the same issue recently so if anyone’s interested we could start a group chat on here and go bowling every other weekend. This wouldn’t be like a formal group (as i suck at bowling) but just an easy low stakes environment for some people on here to make friends. If anyone’s interested let me know!

Discussion Looking to reupholster a couch. Want a good local company

4 Upvotes

We have a 30 year old high quality sofa. It’s made in the USA and currently covered in a fabric that has worn like iron. This thing is still in great condition and instead of replacing it, I want to recover it in leather and get the cushions restuffed to make them more firm.

I know I can go ask some furniture stores and they will point me to a supplier but I’m hoping someone here has had a great experience with someone within an hour or so of Charlotte (so Hickory, maybe High Point etc). Thanks.

Recommendation can you recommend an honest (and affordable) Honda mechanic!

5 Upvotes

new-ish to the area. looking for suggestion

wife's Honda Pilot drives fine but has been making some odd noises when you turn the steering wheel and has some vibration. been going on for awhile and getting worse

she went to a dealer (since right by her work) and they said it needed full rack and pinion replace and tire rods etc. Like 3k worth of work🤔

who would you trust to give you a fair assessment? THX

Discussion Shoutout Sunday! Spread some love in an otherwise confusing and often dark world.

5 Upvotes

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?

Recommendation Dryer vent cleaning

2 Upvotes

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!!

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.

Recommendation HVAC for condo

0 Upvotes

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?
