  • Neighborhood / area
  • What to order

Bonus:

  • Worth the drive outside the city?

20 Hours in CLT - First time in the USA (16 y/o)

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well.

I'm flying from London this Wednesday 7th and have the option for either a 14-hour night layover (landing at 7pm) or a 20-hour daytime layover (landing at 1 PM).

I'd love to take the longer daytime option to check out a baseball game at Truist Field (any sport really I’m a huge soccer fan) or grab some real Carolina BBQ (any foods in the area that are good), but since I'm a minor (16) traveling alone, I can't legally check into a hotel for the night. My plan would be to explore during the afternoon/evening and then just wait it out at the airport overnight for my morning flight.

It’ll be my first time in the USA apart from staying in airports like Miami, so I’m really excited to experience as much as I can in 20 hours.

Is Uptown generally pretty safe for a teenager on foot for an afternoon? Would love any recommendations or advice on whether I should choose the daytime “exploration” option or just stick to the airport. Thank you!

Wrong Way Driver Crash

Did anyone else see the wrong way driver crash on I85 North yesterday evening? I was passing exit 49 near Concord when the driver went the wrong way through the exit ramp. Just a few seconds later I heard a loud crash. And when I looked in my rearview mirror I could see the wreck.

hoping everyone involved made it through okay

These “feels like temps” are getting a little outta hand here lately!

Gee…at least it ain’t Brad saying this or I’d be really worried.

Donate unused Insulin

Not sure if this is allowed but does anyone know where I could donate unused Insulin or know anyone who may not have access to it?

I have some I no longer need and would feel terrible to just throw it out when someone could really need it.

Edit: the brand is Tresiba FlexTouch (insulin degludec) 100 units/mL (U-100)

What’s the tea with Insomnia Cookies?

I watched the reel the other day and I guess it went viral because their google reviews are horrible and people are pissed on their socials.
Anyone has any updates? They are silent no statement has been given about this.

Edit: all the bad Google reviews have been deleted

Edit #2: the video has been deleted nowhere to be found. Still not apology no statement from insomnia cookies but they were quite aware since google reviews were taken down. This is getting SHADIER by the minute.

If you see this **** in our city, do something about it.

Razor blade from a box cutter works great at peeling stickers up.

Fuck Nazis.spoilers.

EDIT: Spoiler edit to reduce the image of the stickers' effectiveness as a dogwhistle. Don't want to platform them but trying to raise awareness.

Where the English fans watching tonight? (Big Ben is temporarily closed)

My boyfriend is English and I want to go somewhere where he can feel like he is amongst his people during tonight’s match. Big Ben is unfortunately closed and I don’t know where the English are gathering. Salud? Hooligan’s? I love my Mexican community and know my boyfriend and I will be in the minority here 😁

Charlotte Water Continues to Kill Fish by Pumping Mud Directly into Little Sugar Creek

Crews repairing the water main break on Queens Road are pumping mud and muddy water directly into the storm drains that flow directly into the creek at the greenway by Carolinas Medical Center. It appears to have killed most if not all fish downstream through Freedom Park and probably well past the treatment plant in Southpark. The mud this morning is even worse than yesterday and observed dead fish are noticeably larger than the fish kill observed yesterday. Look for a biting insect explosion on the creek without the fish.

Thanks for being a great host city for the USA Taekwondo National Championship!

Had a great time despite the unrelenting heat. This was my first time in the city. The Charlotte Convention Center is a fantastic place for an event, wouldn't mind returning here.

Illegal towing

I have lived in 3 major cities, and Charlotte is one of the only places I’ve ever been that allows predatory/illegal towing occur. I’ve never gotten my car towed/booted more in my life than I have being here for only 2 years. It’s just crazy that the city isn’t doing anything about it, and allows these miserably ppl/companies to scam people out of their hard earned money. Wish there was something we can do about this activity

Looking for Friends in Charlotte

I’m in my early 30s, Black (Haitian), and looking to meet some new people to genuinely hang out with. During the week I’m usually working, but on the weekends you’ll probably find me at the golf course trying to improve my game (still a beginner so no judgment 😂).

I’m into sports, checking out bars, grabbing food, exploring new places, and just having a good time. I’m pretty easygoing, enjoy good conversation, and always appreciate people with a sense of humor. Making friends as an adult isn’t as easy as it used to be so I figured I’d give Reddit a shot.

If you’re around my age and looking for someone to hit the golf course, catch a game, grab a drink, or just hang out feel free to reach out.

Classic car groups/meetups in CLT besides Cars and Coffee

I recently picked up a vintage-style kit car and I’m looking to connect with other classic car folks in Charlotte. Any groups, meetups, or drives besides Cars and Coffee worth checking out? Ideally ones that don’t organize solely through Instagram/Facebook, since I’m not on either.

Private Outdoor Ranges

moving to CLT soon from the mountains. seeking a private/membership outdoor range that’s fairly low traffic, no RSO, pistol/carbine/rifle ranges from 15-200 yards and within an hour of Charlotte give or take… ik this is very specific, just got used to be able to show up to a quiet range alone and not be bothered by a billion people. For context my current range, your membership is paying for a key to unlock and lock yourself in/out of the range. doesn’t have to align specifically with my parameters but as close as possible would be amazing, all suggestions are welcome.
