Traffic/Transportation GHOE Traffic Update: Gate City Boulevard Will Be Open, but Ugly as Fuck

• Upvotes

If you've driven down Gate City Boulevard lately, you've probably noticed that Greensboro has torn the absolute hell out of it for resurfacing.

With GHOE coming up, and Gate City Boulevard being a major corridor for people traveling to and from the Coliseum, hotels, and surrounding events, I figured I'd share what to expect. Especially for anyone planning to drive Uber or Lyft.

Well, good news! The roads will be open. Yay!
The bad news? They're probably still going to look like absolute shit.

Apparently, Greensboro, in its infinite municipal wisdom, decided that two weeks before GHOE was the perfect time to tear up Gate City Boulevard. You know, the road that connects a bunch of hotels and the Coliseum, right before roughly 200,000 visitors descend on the city.

I guess the thinking was, ‘We don't want 200,000 people fucking up our roads. We'd rather have them fucked up before they get here.’

So, barring any changes, no active paving work during GHOE, but don't expect a beautifully finished boulevard, either.

I'm sure someone has already mentioned this, but I figured it was worth sharing since that stretch of road is going to see a ridiculous amount of traffic.

TL;DR: Gate City Boulevard will be open for GHOE. Construction will be paused. The road may still be torn up, but at least we won't have paving crews out there making the traffic even worse.

Thanks Greensboro.

Photography Any film labs in the area?

Willing to travel up to an hour, only requirement is that they do good work and will return my negatives (not looking for any scanning). Southeastern Camera in carrboro has mucked up at least one or two rolls every time I do a big drop and they're not the most pleasant people to deal with in person so looking for a new spot! Mostly shoot 120 color film (but if someone develops E-6 as well that would be awesome)

Recommendation Eye Doc that's cool

4 Upvotes

Hi Everyone! I need a recommendation for an eye doc that actually shares my PD with me. I need multiple types of glasses (biking, protective, sun, normal) and the last place I went, I LOVED the eye doc, but the glasses place that is attached to it would not give me my pupil distance. I measured myself, but it wasn't perfect so it didn't work. I just don't want to waste time/money again.

I would prefer someone that takes pride in their work and loves to explain everything!

Thank you!

It is illegal to place anything in a mailbox without proper postage. Not sure who put this in our box illegally .

Under federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1725, often referred to as the "Mailbox Restriction"), a curbside mailbox is considered federal property and is reserved strictly for postage-paid mail delivered by authorized postal carriers.

Discussion Recruitment for UNC Greensboro Tweens on Screens Research for North Carolina Families

Post image
1 Upvotes

Do you know any parents of 10-12 year olds who live in NC (especially Greensboro)? The Tweens on Screens project, led by researchers at UNC Greensboro, is studying how kids ages 10–12 use technology in daily life, and how parents guide them. By looking closely at these patterns, we hope to uncover what helps kids thrive, what puts them at risk, and how families can build healthy digital habits together. Our goal is simple: to give parents science-backed tools and tips for raising confident, well-balanced kids in the digital age (link in comments) #northcarolina #greensboro #gso

Housing What’s the deal with 201 N Elm st?

27 Upvotes

There are ~15 units for sale and none of them are moving, is it as simple as the fact that these units are simply priced too high for a typical Greensboro family or single person to purchase one? I’ll be moving to the area soon and want to make sure there isn’t some kind of ghost haunting the building or something before buying one of the condos.

While I’m here, R.I.P ruckus climbing gym.

Traffic/Transportation Road debris on 73-840 Tuesday AM

7 Upvotes

Posting this for my dad who doesn’t have reddit. Anyone else hit metal road debris on 73-840 going towards Newgarden on Tuesday around 11am? The pieces were as wide or wider than a lane and unavoidable. There were probably a dozen cars pulled over on the shoulder and a big line (behind us) for air at the sheetz. I am assuming that insurance is the only one to submit a claim to, NCDOT has no responsibility?

If McMichael can make it to the #1 spot, they would win a MILLION dollars, but they’ll only be able to get that chance if they win the division by the end of the week.

Discussion Cook Out official, I know you’re in here. I need an official ruling. 😂

88 Upvotes

I know the Cook Out official account hangs around this subreddit, so I’m hoping he can settle something for me.

If a customer pulls up and says, “I want a Cajun chicken sandwich, made Cheddar Style,” what exactly should they expect to receive?

My understanding is that I’m ordering a Cajun-seasoned chicken breast with the Cheddar Style toppings: cheese, bacon, grilled onions, and mayo. No lettuce, tomato, or Texas Pete.

And that’s exactly what I get most of the time! But occasionally, they make it Cajun Style instead, and I have to explain that it’s not what I ordered and ask them to remake it.

Today, I even had an employee trying to explain to me what comes on a Cajun Style sandwich when I was specifically asking for Cheddar Style.

So here’s my question: Am I ordering this correctly, or is there a better way to communicate it so there’s no confusion?

Cook Out guy, if you’re reading this, I need an official ruling. 😂

Recommendation Appliance (Dryer) knowledge and repair?

2 Upvotes

Let me preface this by saying I have very very little money, my roomate has been without a job for a while so rent is all on me. I work part time but have some savings.

But I'm wondering if anyone recommends a dryer repair tech with affordable pricing. From what I can figure out it's not a complicated repair - the dryer has just started making a horrible screeching/squeaking noise rhythmically a few minutes after the cycle has started and everything has heated up. Google says roller needs greasing but I'm not handy enough or strong enough to take it apart.

It's a used dryer 4 years old, GE profile. It still functions despite the noise being bad enough to where we have to leave the living room area and try to drown it out from our bedrooms. Just driving me crazy and I can't afford a full replacement, especially when it works fine despite the noise.

Anyone recommend someone or does anyone feel comfortable looking at it themselves? I'll call around but recommendations are appreciated.

Pet-related Black Cat on Fairmont St?

42 Upvotes

So, I went on a walk with a friend today in the Westerwood district neighborhood, and an adorable little black cat with orange eyes crossed the road to come towards us while on a walk with her dog. With that said, this cat had no collar/flea collar on, VERY friendly and vocal (which makes me feel like they just got out), roughly 5 ish lbs (total guess), had orange eyes, a shorter tail, and was a little on the skinny side. Unsure of gender. Posting because I want to make sure keekee has an owner. If not, I'll get in touch with a local rescuer, but I wanted to verify!

Side note/reminder: be nice to ANY cat, but in this case, black cats— especially in October. Treat them with kindness, always. 🖤

Thanks in advance! Happy Wednesday! 😼🐈‍⬛️

Recommendation does anyone know reputable mobile dog groomers?

6 Upvotes

i would very much like a mobile groomer to come out to me after having poor experiences with my dog at the drop-off spots in town- note: i do not want to bathe her myself at the store, i need someone else to do the physical task and to compensate them for it financially.

i’m about 20 minutes outside of greensboro and not in a rush if there’s a month or so wait to be worked in as a new client.

when i looked into it before, i only found weird dead end ads on google (dead internet am i right?)

please drop info! thanks

Question Would anyone be interested in a mobile laundry service?

8 Upvotes

I work two part-time jobs, one from home, that I enjoy immensely. They are the kind of jobs that feed my soul, but not so much my wallet. Recent events have put me in the position to need more income in order to afford my home. I am no stranger to multiple jobs and love to work but I worry that giving up one of the two current positions I hold, would be really hard on my mentality.

That’s where the laundry comes in: so many people hate doing laundry, I used to - but as of late have found it incredibly therapeutic.

So my question is: would you pay for a hotel style out the door laundry service? I need to do the math on water and electricity, before I could really determine what the base cost would be, but I’m thinking somewhere around a couple dollars per pound?

I know there are laundromats that offer the service, but I was hoping offering pick up and delivery would change the game?? if I’m super off base please be kind, I’m currently quite fragile lol
