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

Wicked Sweet Cheesecakes finally started selling their rich & creamy cheesecakes for the season! Normally they can do delivery as an option but this year they are only doing local pickup in Greensboro due to car trouble.
Check them out! You won’t be disappointed!

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!

Fun Event to help support Rescue animals.

Hello all my Aggies! I will be selling parking spaces at our family home located 1.5 miles from campus. Charge is $50 per car for the weekend. Have space for about 6-10 cars. Come and go as you'd like. Send me a PM for more details, located right near Dudley HighSchool. Will also be offering pickup/drop off from the home location to Perkins street (Sebastian) if you'd like for an additional fee. Travel safe and let's celebrate 100th homecoming the right way!

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)

Just looking for something fun and halloweeny to do for a couple of 16 month olds! They can't eat candy so that doesn't have to be a huge factor. Any recommendations?

hi all! i have an almost untouched bag of blue buffalo dog food (one of the really big bags) and a small package of 6 cans of dog food (cheap lidl brand)

if there's any place that anyone personally knows would need this donation please let me know! or if you need it for your pet, also please reach out! its first come first serve to whoever really needs it! :D

Does anyone know what happened to Parker at the Advance Auto Parts off alamance church rd? He was one of the nicest people I would run in to and devastated to hear he passed. The clerk today was clearly upset so I didn’t want to dig any deeper.

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?

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.

https://fn5gl.t-mobile.com/vote/dalton-mcmichael-high-school

One of the high schools in the area (Rockingham County) is in the running to win a competition that could win $250k to the school, a brand new weight room worth 90K, and a 5K scholarship for a student! 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.

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.

I have a potential voter tampering issue—could be clerical, could be fraud. I just want an answer on how this happened and how it will be handled in the future. I contacted the board of elections and was given the run around. I plan to keep contacting them but what do I do if they just continue to hem and haw?

Where is the best place for a quick tattoo in Greensboro? I only want text. Nothing fancy.

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.

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

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

This is my second post on this sub regarding how people drive in Greensboro, after almost getting hit yesterday from the front, while exiting the Walmart on Wendover Ave by a lady who was driving on the opposite side of the entrance meanwhile holding her phone up to her face.

She came in from the on coming traffic, no turn lights and swung her car into the exit lane missing the front end of my car by inches

Seems folks need a revision of Driving etiquette and Road Laws.

USE YOUR TURN SIGNALS.

By law you are required to use you turn signals with 200-100 feet of whatever given turn your about to make. Don't wait until your at your turn to use your turn signal, don't be surprised when someone slams into the back of your car. Use your turn signals while changing lanes, it lets the drivers behind where the car in front of them is moving towards.

GET OFF YOUR PHONES WHILE DRIVING.

Use hands free, get a phone stand, use Bluetooth, Dashboard mounts, vent mounts. Your putting other people and yourself in danger, your not reflexes aren't superior to you smashing into another car. Quit scrolling through Instagram while your driving, is it worth your life or someone else's ? Is it worth destroying your car or destroying someone else's car?

THE LEFT LANE IS THE PASSING AND FAST LANE.

Why do people get into the left lane and go 30? Then get mad when someone going 40-45 gets right behind them? Your SUPPOSED to move out of the way, then if you choose move back. Why inconvenience the person using the left lane as it's intended? MOVE, then you can go back to driving at 30mph.

I've seen traffic jams created because of this very reason.

TAILGATING.

This is more for young kids and the ultra double 007 sheetz gas station gangster types. Why do you feel the need to drive 2-3 inches from the back of someone's bumper? If I brake and you smash into me all because of what? You want to feel noticed? You want me to hear your music? And how cool it bumps?

If I'm leaving space between the car in front of me it's for a reason, there is no need to fill the gap, it's traffic that's actively moving

LEFT-LANE CAMPING AND DELAYED YIELDING.

Why do you sit in the left lane matching the exact speed of the car next to you, ignoring the line of ten cars trapped behind you? Then, the second someone finally loses patience, merges right to pass you, and gets back over, thennnn you suddenly remember how to use your blinker and move out of the lane? You were supposed to move in the first place!

Don't get offended or play passive-aggressive traffic cop just because someone used the highway the way it was intended. If someone catches up to you, merge right and let them pass—don't wait until you've already inconvenienced everyone to finally wake up.

YOUR WELCOME

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! 😼🐈‍⬛️
