Two nights ago a woman walked by my apartment with a dog. She looked at Grace and they kept going. I asked if her dog was aggressive. She told me that she didn't know if her dog was aggressive. About that moment Grace got too close and the other dog freaked.

I stood in shock, didn't just wail on the other dog and it had Grace in its jaws for 10-15 seconds. Happened so fast. I took her to the emergency room that night and she's seen her regular vet. I have meds and instructions. When I took Grace into the house and tried to calm her down the woman skedaddled down the street. Forgetting the vet bills my concern is that I'm not sure her dog was vaccinated. I'm also concerned about any other dogs that might have the same thing happen to them. She'll be alright although now she's unwilling to go outside on her own.

Shame on the woman for not knowing her dog was aggressive and saying something. The dog was not a puppy. I believe she knew that he was capable of hurting another animal.

This happened in College Hill. Please be aware of other animals and their proximity to your animal.

If you're reading this and you're the one responsible I just want to know that your dog is vaccinated. Any help from her with the $550 would have been appreciated. I'm certainly not asking for anything from anyone.

Heyyyy everyone! My husband (40M) and I (31NB) recently relocated from Florida for work and are looking to find our people.

Husband is over a decade sober- so as much as we love a space like the local gay bar, it's not the best fit for a 3rd space for us to go make friends on the regular unless there is an event happening. We are neurodiverse, queer, dorks who are finally putting down roots here and are trying to find our community.

~*~ABOUT US~*~

**THEM** Loves- their cats, most things "witchy", reading, video games, being outside, going out to the club approx. 3x per year and being absolutely feral there, crochet, travel (airport autism ftw), & whimsy

**HIM** Into- musical theatre, reading, comedy, music, karaoke, trains, yapping (he is a TALKER), movies, working with his hands

**TOGETHER** We both enjoy drag shows (we are both SUPER queer, if thats a problem keep it moving), trying new places to eat, libraries, DIY, weekend day trips chasing waterfalls, and thrift/antique shopping.

I have a daughter (7) who stays with us over the summers and spring breaks and would love more parent friends as well. I'd love for her to have someone to hang out with when she is with us.

If we sound like we could be friends- send me a message! We’d love to connect! Single friends, couples, or group hangouts are all welcome.

A few notes:

-- Before any of y'all tell us to try joining a club or something, please know we would if my husbands schedule allowed for regularly scheduled gatherings like that (2-2-3, 12 hr days)

-- I am horribly bad at making friends irl- my usual method of friends making is just being adopted by an extrovert whos proximity i was in. This method doesn't prove super effective when you are a house spouse (which i am) 🫠

Here’s something Greensboro voters might find interesting.

Rep. Pricey Harrison (D–District 61), who represents part of Greensboro, is up for reelection on November 3, 2026.
And she’s running completely unopposed. No Republican challenger. No independent challenger. Just her name on the ballot.

Now here’s what caught my attention.

On Wednesday, the NC House voted 111–1 to temporarily suspend North Carolina’s 41-cent-per-gallon gas tax through November 30.

The single NO vote? Pricey Harrison.

The Senate subsequently passed the bill 41–0, meaning she was the only legislator in either chamber to vote against it.

Democratic Governor Josh Stein signed the bill into law today.

Harrison explained her opposition to WXII, saying the measure wasn’t going to solve the problem and appeared politically motivated. She also argued that legislative leaders should have addressed broader affordability issues.

To be fair, there are reasonable questions about the legislation. It’s temporary, comes just weeks before an election, and requires roughly $362 million in reserve funding to replace lost transportation revenue. There’s also uncertainty about how much of the savings will actually reach consumers.

But here’s what I’m curious about:

If the objection is that the legislation doesn’t go far enough, does that justify voting against the relief it does provide?

And more broadly, how should constituents evaluate a representative’s voting record when that representative faces no opposition on the ballot?

I’d genuinely like to hear what other Greensboro residents think, especially anyone who can provide more context for Harrison’s vote.

Hi y'all! I turn 21 in a few weeks and was wondering about good spots to go for a drink and a good vibe! My birthday lands on a Tuesday so it wont be too crazy out, and i'm definitely planning on going to the ABC store as well but i want a nice cocktail from somewhere. Thanks!

How is the chess community in Greensboro?

My niece that are neighbors to them said they’re hiring and are taking interviews asap. GREAT BENEFITS, have to be available to interchanging schedules with colleagues!

I have some Amtrak coupons that are going to expire on October 11th. Some are 48-hour upgrade to Business Class to coach. I think some companion coupons and 10% discount.

10% and companion could be used on the Crescent in coach and the upgrade is only good for the Carolininan if using GRO as your station.

Free to you with the only condition (that I can't verify to be honest) is that you leave out of and return to the beautiful GRO station.

I am on Amtrak right now burning two of the coupons and will check in later this evening. Post here of where yo would like to go this weekend. If going to DC, Philadelphia, or NY City, I can get you a lounge coupon that should work as well. I can send the code for the lounge access and I assume it will work but that might be a bit more complicated but we can try that as well.

If you bought a new vehicle this year, check the assessed value on your registration. They assessed a new car I paid $29,500 for at over $51,000. Didn't see the assessed value until after I had paid because I had transferred tags and the mailing had the old car. Now I'm waiting 8-10 weeks for the refund check after appealing with the bill of sale.

Hello, looking for weekend work. 29M so open for labor jobs like landscaping or anything someone might need an extra hand around on weekends. Available Saturday / Sunday

Hi everyone! I’m a current law student with celiac and I am running very low on groceries. My spouse works but doesn’t really make enough to cover anything other than our rent and utilities and gas to get him to and from work. We got denied for SNAP also. I legally cannot work right now or I’ll get kicked out of school or I would be working part time.

All of that to say, does anyone have any recommendations for food pantries that might have options for food allergies, specifically celiac safe?

Thanks in advance!

Any good? Let's here it-
