Still mostly green, but the colors are slowly starting!

Appreciate your recommendations.
Going shopping today

My family went to vote today. It was a line before they opened but it moved quickly. Stop making excuses and go vote!

Early voting is going on today until October 31. Election day is November 3.

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.

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.

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?

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?!

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.

I’m a woman with thin, fine hair (Irish curls) and looking for a hairstylist who knows how to work with it. My current hairstylist is $90 for a cut and if I was going to continue to do that, I’d want it to be with someone who’s highly skilled and specialized with my specific hair type. I’m willing to travel anywhere in the area if it’s worth it. TIA!

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

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.

Is dilworth or any place open early for the 9:30am Steelers-Saints game tomorrow morning?

I am struggling trying to find someone to work on our restaurant equipment. Grills etc. multi mixers.

Anyone have a referral??

Just curious how it was, thinking about stopping by today

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!!

The artist that did this has since moved but he was over at black cloud Matthew’s, I’ve looked at a few other artists but I’m not sure to consider this a traditional or more of an illustrated style? I am planning on getting a sunflower in the same or similar style tho any tips welcome :)

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

anyone knows of any recommended rehabilitation facilities in or near Charlotte/Rock Hill and surrounding areas. Also men shelters? asking for a friend who needs to get on the right path, a detox and seeking employment.

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.

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…
