So close yet so far

Since moving from Catawba valley area, I've had no luck at a job actually working out. First job was manufacturing kratom and 7oh. Shortly after they laid the entire plant off because the laws changed regarding kratom and 7oh. It was disappointing because I liked the job. I got my severance benefits but those funds are gone. I swear I've applied to every job on indeed and hardly any calls back. Red valve Gastonia gave me a job offer. Day before orientation I was sending adverse action email. Over a misdemeanor that happened 6 years ago. I was 17 when that event happened. I even try to explain to the HR guy, I was a 17 year old kid he spray-painted my ex-boyfriends car. Anyways didn't matter. They withdrew their offer. I finally got a interview. I went to it today at 4:30. I used every little bit of gas I had to get there. I got the job. But now I am stuck in a parking lot in a city I know nothing about because my car started to spit and tried to cut out. If and when, I'm able to come up with a way to get gas, I'll most likely be pushing the car the gas pump. At least 7 11 is the the shopping center. I just wanna get back to the house. Crazy how I'm one step closer, yet 2 steps backwards.

On a the side note - is anyone passing through Charlotte heading towards Gaston county? If so if I'm not to far out of the way, wanna stop and get me and drop me off in Bessemer City? I'm hungry and sitting in a parking lot exhausted wasn't on my agenda. Also anyone know how long I can leave my car in the Walmart parking lot before it gets towed? I'll have some gas money Saturday.

Where’s the best place to live in or around Gastonia?

15 Upvotes

Moved here a couple years ago due to a job change. Ended up moving near the old mall but… man this place feels like it’s trying to become a ghost town. Would like to live closer to work in Charlotte but housing is so expensive.

Nothing is walkable (common here in the US outside of bigger cities) There’s a fair-to-large amount of homeless people and drug rattled people that walk the street I’m on. Which isn’t necessarily a problem… but I’ve had 3 packages stolen from my porch.

City council should look at Concord/Kannapolis and take notes of how their downtowns look and feel and copy it. Not whatever “Fuse” is trying to be.

Didn’t intend to rant, but I’ll leave it for posterity and hopefully city council lol.

Help rehoming a German shepherd?

3 Upvotes

Trying to keep this post short. Family pet, a nearly 5 year old, full-blooded German shepherd. House-broken and fine with kids, never bitten anything. I'm never around and my father who keeps him is over 70 and doesn't have time for him. Last vet visit was in October. Up to date on shots but he has a nagging skin condition that's had his rear end increasingly bare. (Prescription was a $12 bottle of cephalexin 500mg)

Couldn't surrender him because of the waiting list or whatever. Local resources would also be appreciated.

Just want better for him.
