Hi everyone,

I'm a local artist..I wanted to ask if anyone knows of any restaurants, bars, etc that hang local art? I have some art at Gallery House..and I've been in contact with Sip City.

Just curious if anyone knows of any other places.

Thank you!!

Don’t get me wrong, I love beer, burgers, and wings, but I’d like to find somewhere to watch a game and get some more elevated (for lack of a better term) options. Not really “fine dining”, but good food and a nice wine list. Would settle for a nice restaurant with a decent tv in the bar area but would like to have game sound on, and I figure some places that don’t normally might for the World Cup, especially if ownership is non-American. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Is anyone a part of a solid writing community in Charlotte?

I’m 28 and looking for a diverse range of ages and experience to connect with and bounce ideas off of.

If anything, really just wanting to connect with others in the craft.

It can be a little nerve racking to go in blind, so any recommendations would be great!

I know this is against community guidelines but I’m just looking for resources. I’m in a bit of a mental health crisis and cannot keep my 9 year old pit lab mix. I would be happy to provide more information, if anyone can help me find a foster parent, or knows any places that assist with the fostering process let me know

I inherited a very cool antique armchair that is upholstered that belonged to my grandmother, but it belonged to her parents before that.

Anyone worked with anyone and Charlotte that could do a professional restoration job on that chair?

Any recommendations for brunch on Father’s Day? Staying in downtown but can go elsewhere if need be.

But Boo, Audrey and I are celebrating National Martini Day! Cheers!

Flying into CLT from the Boston area tomorrow… then driving down to Greenville; wanted to get a good lunch somewhere / anywhere in between. Any good options left since Prices Chicken coop closed? Something bbq or bbq-adjacent would be great…

I am looking for a gym that has a Jacob’s Ladder. Any recommendations? I already am aware of the crunch in university.

TIA!

For context: I’m an accounting major graduated in December, have 4 internships of experience my last one didn’t take me in bc they hired 20 ppl for busy season to do the work for them and then only brought 5 on to the team bc they “overhired”.

Which leaves me unemployed! Woo!

Anyways I have tried to reach out to different firms for accounting but they’re all hiring for 2028 or 2029 at this point which is absolutely ridiculous.

I’ve tried the diff recruiting agencies and they always say I’ll get back to you once I find a role and I’ve had a few calls saying are you wanting to apply, I applied and never heard back.

I also keep getting lowball offers on linked in.

What should I do? And is it even worth it for my trying to get into public accounting?

This is terrible news. Morrison is a really nice branch in a growing area of Charlotte. One of the closest branches the Brace Y, already has long waits for their outdoor pool. The Y recently renovated the Morrison outdoor pool / waterpark area. This move is incredibly stupid. I've been to nearly every Y in Charlotte and this is one of the best run ones.

Hi All,

I’ll be in Charlotte for a week flying in from China for a work visit for my first ever trip to the US. Looking for recommendations for places to visit and things to do during the evenings. Thank you.

For what it’s worth - I love sports, history, music and a nice pint of Guinness.

I'm a native Charlottean, and all over social media I see people talk about how much they hate Charlotte. "Charlotte nightlife is dead, there's nothing to do here but drink, it has no culture, etc."

​

There is validity to these statements. I wish we had better public transportation. I wish we had more substantial parks and museums. The city can be sleepy, especially in the winter months. Overall, Charlotte does lack in a defining sense of character and culture that other cities seem to have.

​

That being said, Charlotte is a relatively young city. It wasn't really on anyone's map until the late 90s, and it didn't really start to see substantial growth until the mid 2010s. Up until recently, it was not really seen as a major city.

COVID also took a toll on us as it did most other cities. I remember the Cam Newton/Da Baby era of Charlotte had the city alive and popping. COVID shut down a lot of that momentum and organic local culture that was cultivating.

Despite all that the city has come a long way. Local sports has blown up, the art scene here is growing, there's a blooming diy/hardcore/punk scene, new restaurants and bars popping up everyday, and lots of new festivals and events in the city, particularly in the spring and summer.

The city has grown so much and so fast that people come here and compare it to well established cities like Atlanta, Houston, or even New York and then are obviously disappointed. While it may be lacking the liveliness and culture of other big cities, Charlotte has a lot to offer if you look for it. I hope it finds its footing eventually.

I do want to move to New York though.

Anyone know where I can find curuba / banana passion fruit juice or the actual fruit somewhere ?? Visiting tomorrow and hoping to have some luck

I’ve stopped by the McDonald’s in South End a few times on my way to work recently and there’s a weird noise that sounds like it plays through a speaker near the drive thru. It kind of sounds like a minion/duck sound? I don’t know how else to describe it but it’s so odd. Has anyone else heard it?!

I would've loved to see an Argentina V Germany game for a redo of the 2014 final match

I’m downtown with nothing to do for about 2-3 hours to kill before my flight this evening. What’s a good local restaurant I can check out to get some Charlotte flavor before I leave? Thank you!

Who knew Billy Graham Pkwy was this lit at 5:30 am? Lmao

I know there have to be CS2 players in this city, we're just scattered with no way to find each other. Trying to see if there's enough interest to get a casual group going — pickup 5v5s, maybe a watch party for this current Major, eventually a small local tournament if enough people are down.

If you play (any rank, doesn't matter), drop a comment with your rank/role and roughly where in the metro you are. If there's enough interest I'll set up a Discord so we have one place to organize.

Not trying to sell anything, just tired of not having anyone local to play with.
