Since we were their hosts, surely we'd get something special if they won? A Parade?... Possibly A real meet and greet unlike that afternoon that was hosted at UNCG.
And I, for one, am sick of it. The rain around the north side of GSO tonight literally seemed to just evaporate despite the wind, thunder, and lightning. It’s actually impressive.
Where do younger people go to find people to become interested in? if that makes sense.. don’t lecture me cuz i don’t wna hear it but im 20 and i want to try getting into a relationship again but i have no idea where to look or what to do which is crazy considering i literally go to NCAT. Dating apps aren’t really my thing either, i hear toooo many horror stories.. any tips are appreciated thanks
Yo soy gringa. Dont come for me lol.
So in other areas like when I lived on south Carolina we had alot of general stores that sell clothes, food, decorations etc. Not quiet a bodega but more of a general store.
Are there any around here that are sell mexico national team shirts or jerseys? Id honestly support someone small and local than to buy unofficial merchandise from Ross or Tjmax.

I am clearing out some old equipment and will have two laptop hard drives that need to be securely destroyed (laptops will not boot up to erase).
Any suggestions about where to take them? I know at least one is a SSD, so drilling won't cut it. Plus, I have no desire to take apart the drives. 🤣 Thanks!
I will take the laptops themselves to Hazardous Waste on Patterson.
Anyone know when it is set to open? Just curious. Thanks!
I have a car with a little bit of exhaust work that most places aren't going to visually pass. My guy is moving and I was hoping someone might be able to suggest an alternative option or two around the area
Thanks!
We are hosting the Hometown Holler and Dylan Rhoney from Cardinal and Pine at our July Meetup!
Join us for The Informed Citizen: Modern Media Ecosystems and the Health of Democracy!
You won't want to miss this one! We are focusing on the new media landscape! We have some awesome guests, including Daniel and Quinn from the Hometown Holler and Dylan Rhoney from Cardinal and Pine!
Local newspapers are vanishing, news deserts are spreading, and less than 20% of North Carolinians regularly consume local news. So where do we go from here?
Join two of the state's most innovative independent media voices for a frank conversation about today's media ecosystem — what's broken, what's working, and how you can make a real difference. It's not all doom and gloom - you'll leave with a clear picture of the landscape and concrete actions you can take immediately.
Come curious. Leave activated.

The News & Record didn't just report on its new owner Sunday.
It saluted him.
The package featured headlines like "NEW HOPE FOR LOCAL NEWS," "A Family Tradition of Giving," and "Building a Business for the Long Haul."
Not a difficult headline among them.
Overwhelmingly positive coverage.
It's not journalism.
The unions representing Lee journalists, who publicly criticized the package for lacking the journalistic standards expected of any other front-page story.
There is a profound difference between reporting on the owner and promoting the owner.
It's reputation management.
No mention of Lee Enterprises spending years shrinking newsrooms.
Newspapers are essential because they are supposed to independently scrutinize powerful people, not because they celebrate them.
The editors and reporters who are supposed to ask questions of city councils, school boards, business leaders and nonprofit executives, published three pages about their own chairman's awesomeness.
We're asked to trust that independence still exists.
We need investigations into government spending.
We need scrutiny of development deals.
We need accountability reporting.
We need follow-up stories when officials don't answer questions.
Newspapers are supposed to scrutinize powerful people, not canonize them.
We got three pages telling us why we should feel good about the billionaire who now owns the paper.
Same thing happened with Roy Carroll, The Rhino Times and John Hammer, who sold out his own soul.
Don't expect to see any critical letters to the editor.
Little late posting, life’s been busy & I’ve been debating how to best handle.
On Friday night, 6/19, I parked in the MLK lot downtown. By the end of the night I was not in a state to drive, however, my husband drove me to the lot so that he could check on my car & know where to take me the next day to retrieve it. We get to the MLK lot and my car was nowhere to be found! Despite not being sober minded, I knew 100% EXACTLY where I parked. Checked messages, confirmed my parking was paid until 5:04am. According to my texts, I re-upped my payment before my parking expired.
My initial thought was someone stole my car. Husband calls the phone number listed on the sign in the parking lot and it turns out my fing car had been towed!!
Gotcha Towing picked up my car even though I had several hours of time left!! My husband talked to the manager, he said it would be $400 to get the car back. After some back and forth, the manager agreed to let the car go for $100 if we could show proof parking was paid because he still needed to “pay his driver”. Also worth noting, the guy said something must have gone wrong because he couldn’t find my car in the database (meaning they knew they
F’d up and I shouldn’t have been towed). We tell him we will be back around 11am the next day to pick the car up. The manager says to call or text him when we are on the way. The following morning we head that way and try to call while enroute. It rings once then goes to vm. Tried 2 more times, same thing. No luck. It was apparent our calls were being ignored! Send a text, no response. We get to the lot where my car is (which isn’t even their property). We are told by the lady working that it’s by appointment only (we were not informed of that). Understandably she says she can’t accept $100 unless she talks to the manager, who she also had been unable to get in touch with. Luckily we get him on the phone, he tells her to take the $100. They hang up. She says cash only. We didn’t have cash because no one told us cash only. At this point, I’m so over the entire situation. My husband had to be at work, I needed my car, & I was getting more pissed by the moment. She begrudgingly says she’ll take cashapp. We pay. I get my car.
I’ve been fuming since then for several reasons: 1) Gotcha Towing seems to be a predatory in nature. I’ve read their Google reviews. They also have an F rating with BBB. 2) I was fortunate enough to be able to pay to get my car back but what about those who can’t??? 3) I’m now very apprehensive about parking downtown because of fear I will be towed again without cause.
I know I’m not the only one who has fell victim to Gotcha Towing. Something needs to be done. Is anyone willing to share their story? I’ve considered taking out charges for theft of my car but I don’t how much leverage I have. If more people are willing to speak out though, maybe we can get the city to address their predatory towing practices.
Is there a spot in gso or surrounding areas with public creek access that doesn’t require a long walk (disability reasons)?
Just looking to relax for about an hour or so and be on my way.
Any other must-do’s/see that a sound and busy public sensitive teen might enjoy?
TIA!
Did the City of GSO removed it or a Private Citizen removed this flock mess? I just noticed this today on July 4, 2026?
this is as bad as the polar vortex making it so cold I don’t want to leave my house
My partner and I were asleep in bed when we were awakon by a knock at the door and our camera door bell being used. We of course did not answer the door.
I hopped on the application to look at the footage and horrified that the stranger on our porch was holding a knife. We called the cops to report (response time was incredible). They went up and down our road with their spotlights but no luck. We showed an officer the footage.
We live in the Glenwood neighborhood. I am feeling really shaken up. Has anyone else had a similar experience lately? I can't make out my theory on what could have been going on with this individual. He clearly had a working cell phone but looks like he just jumped out of bed? Either way, it was incredibly jarring and scary. Stay safe everyone.
I was reading about the data center developer, DC Blox, who is trying to force through a highly controversial data center next to the Nashville Zoo and learned that they’ve purchased land at Piedmont Parkway & Sheridan Ct where they’re planning to build a 54,000 ft2 data center. Their site doesn’t provide specifics on the cooling method they plan to use or how much water and energy it will consume. I didn’t see any prior posts about it in the sub and was wondering if anyone else was aware and if there has been any resistance to its construction?
Since some of us are stuck indoors schvitzing, name me your sweatiest movies and songs:
”The Good, Bad and the Ugly”
”Cool Hand Luke”
”The Hills Have Eyes”
”Dog Day Afternoon”
”Andromeda Strain”
(I‘m obviously a child of the 60/70’s)
Hello everyone, and happy 4th. The title says it all. Had a female cat with 5 kittens move into our back yard. They are so cute. We have a trap. We have started thinking we may keep the mother. Have her spayed. Looking for anyone who knows who could help us get the kittens adopted. If you’re looking for a kitten, please let me know. Any advice here would be GREATLY appreciated.
Hi, I've never hired a lawyer before, but looking for a recommendation for getting a will made. I don't have any assets, and am just looking to set up a guardianship plan for my son in the unlikely chance of my and my spouse's death.
I understand that doing things with a lawyer is going to cost money, but I'm hoping for something not too expensive. Anyone had a good experience with something similar?
Thank you in advance!
Happy 250th. Fitting week for it: Hillsborough, Pittsboro, and Chatham County have all pulled the plug on Flock's license-plate cameras, and HB 206 sadly makes the SBI's highway version permanent. The through-line back to 1776 is the general warrant — the suspicionless search the Fourth Amendment was written to ban.
