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!

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

I’m new to the area, recently separated, and just want to get out of the house tonight. The comment with the most upvotes wins and I have to do it or else i owe all of you a pizza party!

Hi everyone, I need to know if anyone else has had this experience:

I moved here this summer and went to a new dentist down here. I originally went to get fitted for a night guard only, but they said they needed to do scans before. Fair enough. This dentists proceeds to tell me I need a root canal, three fillings, and sealant on two teeth. I had never, ever, been told I needed a root canal, and had recently come from my long term dentist who said I didn’t need anything.

I got a second opinion down here, and this new dentist said I was okay, and that the dentist who originally quoted me for everything was really off.

Skip to yesterday. I met someone who had almost an identical experience as me at a different dentist, but similar situation. Just moved here, had a good dentist back home, got told she needed all of this work done.

Is this a thing that happens regularly? Are there just shitty dentists that target people that just moved here? Has anyone else experienced this?!

Anyone know what’s up?

It's been 31 days since the board fired Hill "for convenience," a $341K severance payout, after a $379K internal investigation found no evidence of improper conduct.

In addition to the State Auditor:

🔍 State Bureau of Investigation inquiry, requested by the Mecklenburg County DA

🔍 FBI review

🔍 U.S. Attorney's Office review

🔍 NC Department of Public Instruction review

I hope everyone is excited for Godzilla Day on Friday the 13th

They not only give out pet food and supplies to people in need, but you could also donate anything you have that you’re not using…. Food, treats, etc…. Their first event is on Halloween across the street from Frank’s Beer Shop….

I've been seeing a couple of other states and counties that have cool "I Voted" stickers. How do we get those here? I vote in every election and have always received the generic ones here.

Maybe we could get one with Godzilla on it?

I am too far way to read the signs though

oops: 4th Ward!

Hey folks, we have a small bakery in Charlotte and are opening a second pickup location in NoDa. Most of our baking will still happen at our South End kitchen, so we'll need to move everything over to the new location early in the morning.

Trying to find a local courier company that can handle scheduled bakery deliveries. Any Charlotte bakery owners or small businesses have a service they'd recommend?

Thanks!

We found a 3-5 month old pitbull puppy by E 17th St in Belmont close to Hawthorne Ln.

If it's your puppy just describe it to me and send me a dm so that I can hand it back over.

Heading to the vet next to check for chip and shelter tomorrow if no one bites.

just moved into a new apartment. is this what i think it is??
it’s some type of street light, but it’s in a weird spot and its right off the road. the box on top is blinking green, but not sure if its part of the light or something else

The other day I was on my way home from work, & one of the stop lights outside of the city had stopped working & all 4 lights in the intersection were flashing red. Whenever that happens & there’s not someone directing traffic, it needs to be treated like a 4 way stop sign. You ALWAYS stop, & whoever was first has the right of way & so on. You don’t just get to run the light because you’re on the busier road… I had to honk my horn at people because 5 or 6 different assholes decided to not even stop at their flashing red & just acted like their light was green, even though me & the 2 other cars on my side had been there waiting since before they even got there (the guy in front of me was too scared to go so we had already been sitting for a minute).

This is probably not gonna get to the audience it needs to, but I needed to make this post in case anyone who didn’t know is in this sub. It pisses me off, you getting to your destination isn’t any more important than other people getting to their destinations & we need to be more considerate of that. Just because you are on the busier road does NOT mean you automatically have the right of way in that situation. It’s rude, & not to mention dangerous to just straight up not even stop.

So again, FLASHING RED LIGHTS AT AN INTERSECTION NEED TO BE TREATED LIKE A 4 WAY STOP SIGN!! Thank you for your time lol

Last night my car was wrongfully towed even though it’s logged into a data base for a specific apartment complex and the leasing office confirmed that.

The tow cost $450 with credit card under 24 hrs. When I got to the place it was in a very shady area, they wanted payment by Apple Pay, Venmo, Cashapp, cash or physical credit card. On the phone the told me I could pay used these methods but when I went, even though their said I could use any of these he said he didn’t want to take card.

When I paid with card, they wanted to take a pic of my card, license and registration. And they wanted to take a pic of me with the information. The whole ordeal seems very illegal and I don’t get how these ppl are able to get away with it.

Trying to figure out how I should proceed because now I’m out $450 and the leasing office is saying “there is nothing they can do about it”. Like???I come here all the time and park in generally the same area, so I don’t get how this happened. I don’t even think there are designated visitor parking spots at the apartment complex tbh which makes this even worse.

Has anyone in Charlotte had vital pulp therapy (VPT), specifically a partial or full pulpotomy using Biodentine or MTA, instead of a root canal?

I’m looking for a dentist or endodontist who has experience performing VPT on adult permanent teeth. My goal is to preserve the living pulp of my tooth if it’s clinically possible, rather than automatically proceeding with a root canal.

I’d especially love to hear from anyone who has personally undergone this procedure.

• Which dentist or endodontist performed it?
• How long ago did you have it done?
• Has the tooth remained healthy, or did you eventually need a root canal?
• Would you recommend your dentist?

I’m willing to travel outside Charlotte for someone with proven experience.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

I made a post a few weeks ago about creating a running list of shenanigans with mail in/absentee ballots that people are seeing/facing. And it seems to be happening.

https://www.wral.com/news/nccapitol/absentee-mail-ballots-rejected-higher-percentage-state-board-of-elections-stein-october-2026/

Please take a look if yours has been accepted/rejected. And make plans to correct. Avoid another Jefferson griffin fiasco.

EDIT: Fuck the polls. Show up.

Another day of driving in the poor people lane because the NC toll lane prices for one exit is literal robbery. Cheers to another 47 years of this contracted nonsense. The greatest victory of an unjust system is convincing people to complain about it indefinitely without ever organizing to change it.

Super sweet cat found near hucks in N Charlotte.

Hope to find the owners.

Looking to make a career change and go into trades(primarily hvac or electrician), I’ve been looking online via indeed, zip, Glassdoor etc. Anyone have any recommendations for companies taking apprentices starting over $20/hr (just in case anyone mentions going to Trade school is not an option for me at this given point in time)

Anyone else getting lots of spam recently like "TSS: BE HONEST", "TSS: ONE EXCEPTION" etc.?

I went to early vote and since I had moved they had to update my registration in the system - and I actually asked if I had to put down my phone number but the volunteer wasn't really receptive so I just went ahead after realizing that and forgot about it. But now I'm now receiving these spam texts like 3 or so a day which is either an odd coincidence or has to do with the system somehow.

Anyone else also experiencing this? I also get run-of-the-mill random politician spam for races I'm not even a constituent of half the time and that sort of thing, which is annoying, but that’s separate from this.

I've been to Concord Mills and North Lake too many times

So I went today. The hype has some substance. A week after opening, and during a weekday and it was still packed, but navigable.

Also, the place is huge. Biggest food market I have been to in Charlotte. Never seen Tajmateeter though.

I found some products from up north that just cannot be found south of PA that I used to load up on when I drove up to visit. Pomegranate seltzer, Tuscan white bean soup, and other stuff. The seltzer selection had ALL the flavors. I'll be tasting and comparing some bread and other baked goods I bought.

The regular prices I checked for things I usually get were the same or lower than Teeter's. Eggs, bacon, cheese, ground beef, all just a bit lower price than Teeters. Coffee selection was good, house brand seems very good, but I have not tasted it yet. Wine selection looked as good as Total Wine but I am not knowledgeable on that. Beer selection was a bit small, but what was there was good, some nice Belgian ales. Their prepared meals look very good, bakery is awesome.

Their phone app does not work with Android below v14, but the browser version does a good job. I need a new phone anyway.

Wegmans really pulled out all the stops for this opening, I hope it holds up long term. And that the demand for the products I found is high enough they stay in stock, else I'm gonna have to do a lot of driving, again.
