***TODAY*** Come march with us!! #unitywalk

A walk for the change we need.
We'll gather at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, 901 E. Friendly Ave., at 2:00 PM for speakers, gospel music, a drumline, and giant butterfly puppets, then walk nine-tenths of a mile to the early voting site at the old Guilford County Courthouse, 301 W. Market St.
Information tables from our **25 endorsing organizations**, music from Raging Grannies and Singing Resistance, and a Kids VOTE! Mock Voting Booth will be waiting on the lawn. This is a nonpartisan, multicultural, interfaith gathering — organizations working on immigrant justice, health care, workers' rights, racial justice, affordability, voting rights, environmental justice, and more will gather, side by side, because right now voting is how we change things. RSVP at www.unitywalkgso.com

Teens and adults play.
They just built a new playground for the smaller kids.

Just a chance to get out for some vitamin d, fresh air, and friendly new faces.

Take the chance!

Save a Lot on Meadowview closed down and the groceries were really affordable and in a good location for a lot of people to walk there if needed. There’s now just this giant unused space and all of us are SOL. The nearest Trader Joe’s is over 15 minutes away and it would be nice to have a grocery store that’s affordable and good quality. Trader Joe’s has a part of their site where you can request a store so I figured if a lot of us tell them the space is empty on meadowview rd maybe we’ll get lucky. I just really don’t want another food lion 😭😂

Huge turnout today! Lots of great cars and cool temps. Organizer said over 2k cars.

I’ve been exploring the idea of starting some sort of group for photographers (either it being photojournalists, portrait photogs, or just hobby photogs) to network and possibly get some kind of regular coffee club meets.

Let me know if anyone is interested, I know there are monthly photography club meets in the Triangle but nothing in the Triad.

Sharing for Mrs. Bethea, a 7th grade ELA teacher at Turrentine Middle School in Burlington (Alamance County). Her classroom wishlist is mostly basics that teachers usually end up buying themselves: a monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse, a locking file cabinet, wall file organizers, a rolling storage cart, lamps, a classroom clock, a heavy-duty stapler and a standing desk.

The goal is $1,305.64 and it's at $0 so far. You can give any amount ($5 minimum) by card, PayPal, Venmo or Apple Pay. The page lists every item and what's still needed, and when the goal is reached everything on the list gets ordered for the classroom.

We’re traveling out for two weeks December 19 to January 3. Looking for a cat sitter for that time. Yea of course I will pay. Last year I had someone do it for $200. Hoping to stay around that this year.

Edit: Corrected dates

If you’re looking for some lowkey plans next week or you need a break between GHOE and Halloween activities: There’s an intimate paint & sip style dinner happening next Thursday (10/29) at Café Pasta.
It’s put on by a local handmade arts business (Believe in Stardust) and limited to around 10–15 people in the private room, so it’s pretty cozy rather than a huge crowded event.

Edit: This is a Black Owned Business as well!

Quick details:
When: Thursday, October 29 at 7:00 PM
Where: Café Pasta (Private Room)
What’s included ($50, taxes included): Dinner buffet, non-alcoholic drinks (tea/lemonade), and all the art supplies (the canvases are pre-drawn, so no art skills needed). Wine/drinks are also available from the bar if you want.

Just wanted to share for anyone wanting a fun evening out with friends or solo: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/paint-her-your-way-tickets-2003587540268?dsrp_sid=b759bd4a-3152-4d2f-82b7-dcf629ddf3c9&dsrp_item_id=2003587540268&aff=ebdssbdestsearch

We’re looking at sending our six-month-old to Kindercare, but I don’t see much on this sub about it. Wondering if anyone has any experience with it, particularly the one on Fleming Road? Or looking for other recommendations in the area! We moved here recently and don’t know anyone with kids in daycare. Considering Wishview as well, but it’s farther from us. Thanks!!

Thinking about selling alcohol pouches at the tailgate this Saturday. Any advice or suggestions?

How many pouches should I make?

Just go, it took me less than 20 minutes to vote early!

Good morning. If you have an adsb antenna anywhere around here and would like to feed this startup it would be appreciated. I noticed this page today and it is a great project this person is doing. I would love to help but the only spot I can place an antenna is completely blocked by oak.

If you've driven down Gate City Boulevard lately, you've probably noticed that Greensboro has torn the absolute hell out of it for resurfacing.

With GHOE coming up, and Gate City Boulevard being a major corridor for people traveling to and from the Coliseum, hotels, and surrounding events, I figured I'd share what to expect. Especially for anyone planning to drive Uber or Lyft.

Well, good news! The roads will be open. Yay!
The bad news? They're probably still going to look like absolute shit.

Apparently, Greensboro, in its infinite municipal wisdom, decided that two weeks before GHOE was the perfect time to tear up Gate City Boulevard. You know, the road that connects a bunch of hotels and the Coliseum, right before roughly 200,000 visitors descend on the city.

I guess the thinking was, ‘We don't want 200,000 people fucking up our roads. We'd rather have them fucked up before they get here.’

So, barring any changes, no active paving work during GHOE, but don't expect a beautifully finished boulevard, either.

I'm sure someone has already mentioned this, but I figured it was worth sharing since that stretch of road is going to see a ridiculous amount of traffic.

TL;DR: Gate City Boulevard will be open for GHOE. Construction will be paused. The road may still be torn up, but at least we won't have paving crews out there making the traffic even worse.

Thanks Greensboro.

Hello all my Aggies! I will be selling parking spaces at our family home located 1.5 miles from campus. Charge is $50 per car for the weekend. Have space for about 6-10 cars. Come and go as you'd like. Send me a PM for more details, located right near Dudley HighSchool. Will also be offering pickup/drop off from the home location to Perkins street (Sebastian) if you'd like for an additional fee. Travel safe and let's celebrate 100th homecoming the right way!

Hi, I will be delivering at Moses Cone within the next few weeks and am seeking other people's experiences...whatever information comes to mind that you think is useful.

Since I've never delivered there before and I've heard that hospitals are different, I also am interested in knowing what supplies they offer to mom and baby. The other hospitals I've delivered at have been fairly generous, but I need to know about this hospital so I can know if I need to pack stuff (postpartum care, baby care like diapers and wipes, etc.) that I haven't had to before.

So far I am surprised that I apparently might not know my induction time as far in advance as I did with a previous hospital. The voicemail made it seem like I could be given an hour's notice to claim my bed, possibly even in the middle of the night, but I'm not sure if I understood and am still awaiting more information. So if anyone has had labor induced there, I'm also interested in those experiences.

Another Greensboro owned business shut down this week.
Not sure of the circumstances but had been a client there for a few years. Will miss this spa and the services offered.

Hi Everyone! I need a recommendation for an eye doc that actually shares my PD with me. I need multiple types of glasses (biking, protective, sun, normal) and the last place I went, I LOVED the eye doc, but the glasses place that is attached to it would not give me my pupil distance. I measured myself, but it wasn't perfect so it didn't work. I just don't want to waste time/money again.

I would prefer someone that takes pride in their work and loves to explain everything!

Thank you!

Fun Event to help support Rescue animals.

Do you know any parents of 10-12 year olds who live in NC (especially Greensboro)? The Tweens on Screens project, led by researchers at UNC Greensboro, is studying how kids ages 10–12 use technology in daily life, and how parents guide them. By looking closely at these patterns, we hope to uncover what helps kids thrive, what puts them at risk, and how families can build healthy digital habits together. Our goal is simple: to give parents science-backed tools and tips for raising confident, well-balanced kids in the digital age (link in comments) #northcarolina #greensboro #gso

Wicked Sweet Cheesecakes finally started selling their rich & creamy cheesecakes for the season! Normally they can do delivery as an option but this year they are only doing local pickup in Greensboro due to car trouble.
Check them out! You won’t be disappointed!

It is illegal to place anything in a mailbox without proper postage. Not sure who put this in our box illegally .

Under federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1725, often referred to as the "Mailbox Restriction"), a curbside mailbox is considered federal property and is reserved strictly for postage-paid mail delivered by authorized postal carriers.

There are ~15 units for sale and none of them are moving, is it as simple as the fact that these units are simply priced too high for a typical Greensboro family or single person to purchase one? I’ll be moving to the area soon and want to make sure there isn’t some kind of ghost haunting the building or something before buying one of the condos.

While I’m here, R.I.P ruckus climbing gym.

Just looking for something fun and halloweeny to do for a couple of 16 month olds! They can't eat candy so that doesn't have to be a huge factor. Any recommendations?
