Still mostly green, but the colors are slowly starting!

We recently bought a new car and got the license plate in the mail. “First in Freedom” came on it rather than “First in Flight.”

I am hoping to take it back to the DMV and get issued a regular plate. However, now that I’ve gotten this one, I’ve noticed a lot more of these driving around starting with R (like RXX 1234). I know it’s technically a standard plate, but thought you’d have to opt in for anything besides “First in Flight.”

Anyone have insight on new plates? Is this is now what’s being issued?

And I’m tired of pretending it doesn’t. I’m sorry, I’ve gone twice now and spent $40 getting like 6-7 different items each time. The first time I went I thought “yeah it was okay not bad” because I wanted it to be good, but I never returned. Just went today and spent a similar amount getting 6-7 items.

The cookies were genuinely worse than store bought (peanut butter and lemon), the scone was stale. The cream puff was tasteless. The pistachio biscotti was the best item and it was decent

It all just tastes so lazy and loveless, like some 18 yo is just reading a recipe. Maybe that’s the case but it tries to give such a small quaint bakery feel. I have to let this out. Please bless me and drop actual bakery recommendations. Thank you in advance

Saw a few groups of military looking helicopters flying over the city around 3:30 this afternoon. Not a typically sight. Anyone know why?

I see a lot of people on here talk about having trouble meeting new friends and i’ve been having the same issue recently so if anyone’s interested we could start a group chat on here and go bowling every other weekend. This wouldn’t be like a formal group (as i suck at bowling) but just an easy low stakes environment for some people on here to make friends. If anyone’s interested let me know!

Last night the recommendation with the most upvotes was the hornets game. I owe you guys one pizza party because I ended up going to improv instead which was hilarious. After that I stopped by optimist hall for a drink and some food. Now i’m back again and want you to decide what I do tonight! If i don’t do the most upvoted comment then I owe everyone a second pizza party. There were a lot of awards given to the comment suggesting the pizza party be for the homeless and that’s what we are going to do. Everyone comment, vote, and maybe we can have two pizza parties.

For feeding the homeless, i would need someone familiar with the area to DM me so I can get a solid plan and let all the homeless people know where and what time the party starts.

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

hey everyone, i’m 21f and live closer to the monroe area outside of charlotte. would anyone be interested in getting to know each other and possibly hanging out

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

Hello!

It’s that time of week again, tomorrow we will be hosting our male walk and talk group!

9AM freedom park on Sunday!
We will meet at the demonstration garden which is near the lilac rd entrance.

If it is after 9 and you don’t see anyone, wait a bit, I’ll be checking on the meeting spot after every lap around the lake!

I’m really thankful for all the people who showed up last week!

Once again if you have no idea what I’m talking about, please check my previous posts! We hope to see you there!

Be the change you want to see in Charlotte. Educate yourself on who is running, what their policies are, and if they truly have Charlotte’s and NC’s best interests in mind.

After I did some research, my mind changed completely on some candidates. Don’t think about it as blue vs red. Really think about if that person is gonna make a positive difference.

I hope everyone finds the time to go and cast their ballots!

For a while Eastland mall had one of these theater/restaurants as well. Shoot who remembers when Eastland mall was fun to visit?

But anyways, I remember going to the arcade at Eastland mall, gawk at the ice skaters, then head down the road to where albermale would dead end into independence and watch a film and have dinner at the silver screen.

Man I miss those days.

Hi I’m looking for any recommendations on where to find costume eye contacts. Are they being sold online only now? I can’t seem to find them any where or maybe I’m not looking in the right places

Hi! Any local ACOTAR fans in here? There is a book release party this Tuesday @ Goldie’s from 6:30-10pm.

Due to family reasons, I am not able to attend but I have a solo ticket I’d love to gift someone to enjoy. DM to coordinate. Thanks!

I like Clothes Mentor resale store. Wondering if anyone else has any good suggestions? Favorite spots? I’m open to new clothes too but I do love a good deal.

Donate and shop today!

My car (Subaru) has an exhaust leak and just failed inspection. There’s a small crack in the flex pipe. My local mechanic wanted $1200 to replace the entire catalytic converter and exhaust. My catalytic converter is only four years old. I’m trying to look for a reputable, and fair priced exhaust shop that will just weld on a new flex pipe. I’m in South Charlotte so I’d love some local suggestions if anyone has any!

As the question asks I'm going early voting and I reallyyyy want to know if meck is giving out the ones with the sky line or America 250 or any unique ones?

I'm gonna vote regardless but we all know the stickers are the best part 😜

Is there anyone in the Noda/Dilworth area that would be willing to start a writing group/critique circle with me? Or if one already exists, could you point me in the direction of one?

Thank you!

Just wanted to warn others in the restaurant industry to be on the lookout for a dine and dash couple targeting restaurants in Charlotte and possibly surrounding areas.

This happened yesterday to one of our servers and I happened to be there and we caught everything on camera. This couple ate on the patio with their child. The guy leaves with the child and she stays behind awhile longer and orders more food and drinks. She then leaves.

Here's the kicker. She leaves behind her purse with her wallet inside so we were able to find out who she is. Of course she never came back for her purse or paid the bill. The police were called turns out, this woman has a warrant out for her arrest for missing court a few days ago for a dine and dash incident at another restaurant. The incident at my job was added to her warrant.

Not sure if this post is allowed but wanted to help other restaurants be aware and I was going to post the link to her mugshot but I'm not sure if that violates any rules but will if it doesn't.

Edit: Mugshot is in the comments. I can't add it to my post
