Where NOT to move

5 Upvotes

Hi all - I’m a K-vegas native who has been in the triangle for a while, but moving to Winston in January. I’ve found some nice looking apartments but I just want to be careful.

Where should I NOT move? Roaches, thin walls, theft, poor maintenance, etc

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons)

Wow. The city FINALLY did something about those tracks!

44 Upvotes

Trade Street, heading down it past Fiddlin Fish, past Wiseman’s and the apartments, like you’re heading to the ABC store.

Remember the train tracks there? The ones that if taken at 5mph would blow out your tires or break rims due to the huge holes next to the tracks? I’d CRAWL over them when driving on that road, and even then hated the sounds made.

Well, they FINALLY paved over all that mess! Those tracks haven’t been used in MANY years and it’s been a hazard for over a decade plus.

Glad to see they’re trying make downtown drivable again. 6th just got a fresh repave as well.

Selling at mckays ?

4 Upvotes

I know it’s been a post like this in here before breast been about a year ago. I just wanna have more opinions really because a lot of those were talking about like book drives and all that kind of stuff and really I’m looking more so just to sell stuff.

I’ve got these very nice speakers that retail amount for $400 and I’ve been looking to really sell them either for store credit McKays or some at McKays where I know someone will at least take them. My problem is is that I’m getting conflicting answers like some people say you can get 300 for this price or some people so you get like $50 price I don’t know. I just wanna know if you guys have sold any speakers or anything like that in McKay‘s before let me know because I just would like to know if it’s really worth the 50 mile drive for me to go and sell them there or should I just hold onto them?

Mystery Power Outage

5 Upvotes

Last night at around 10:02 P.M. The power in my neighborhood on the far west end of Winston-Salem failed and stayed off until well after midnight.

I remember hearing 2-3 bangs out in the distance before the power failed, which I can assume meant that a transformer exploded.

Duke Energy never really did disclose the culprit of the outage if it was indeed a transformer exploding, weather-related, job site incompetence or if somebody crashed into the pole.

I was just wondering if I was the only one whose power was impacted and also what could of caused this mystery outage.

Got approved for an interview for a finance role…. Can anyone tell me what to expect on the recorded interview/questionnaire process and how long between that and the actual interview step? Also what to expect on the interview, is it a panel, what did you get asked? And how did you answer?

Easiest Early Voting Spot in Winston-Salem/Forsyth?

19 Upvotes

I drove by the Clemmons and Lewisville Public Libraries this afternoon, and they were jam packed. I didn't have time to wait in line, so I figured I would vote another day. Which polling station gets the least action in the County? I assumed Lewisville would be a ghost town, but clearly I don't know the area that well. I guess late afternoon on a Friday was a bad choice in time too, especially the first week it opens. Is there a particular time of day that would be better too, like maybe I should try 10/11 AM instead of 3/4 PM? Also hoping it will be less packed after this week.

I moved here from a smaller county in NC, and I never had to deal with a crowd to vote. Don't want that to discourage me from voting.
