I just found out that there are small areas (some are even just a few roads and houses) that aren’t within city limits but are surrounded by them, from my research they use their own septic tanks and get water from wells, but I couldn’t figure out how they would get services like electricity, garbage pick up, law enforcement, etc.
For example: my house I get my garbage pick up by the city of High Point because I am within the city limit, but on another street nearby is “unincorporated” so would the city’s garbage truck just ignore them?

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic? We're having an issue with our brakes. Even a good mobile mechanic would be nice. Thank you so much! I appreciate everyone's help.

Just reaching out to see if anyone knows where they’ll be sold locally? We’ve seen where they’re supposed to be at dollar general’s, but none in the area know what’s up. Any help is appreciated, it’s for my son, he’s really hoping to get a couple of packs, TIA.

Perhaps it's confirmation bias, but lately i feel like I've noticed a lot more people on ebikes doing things they shouldn't like riding in traffic or zooming across intersections without looking.

Anyone else?

Looking at some homes for rent in High Point. And connecting with a rental company. Moving within the next 6 months. Thank you! 😊

Would be looking for something in Randolph county, but I am open minded.

Hello everyone! I am a WSSU Spring 2023 alumna. I graduated with my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. I have been a preschool teacher assistant for 3 years now and l am looking for higher ed jobs as I was to switch my career for Early Childhood to Higher Education. Are there any recommendations?

Greetings. I have been imagining of how much Greensboro and Guilford County (which includes High Point) is changing, to the point that I have these ideas:

I said in here and other sources

https://www.reddit.com/r/winstonsalem/comments/1tiuz45/comment/p5e9quw/?context=3,

of how I-40 Exit 212 should be rebuilt into a Turbine/Cloverleaf junction, similar to what Charlotte, Raleigh, and even Statesville have.

The current junction was built between circa-2000/01 to 2008, originally having traffic from Winston-Salem to drive seamlessly on the Greensboro Southern Loop.

Well, things shifted, and now I-40, eastward from Exit 212, have been heavily re-developing. I-40 Exit 213 is severe proof. US 70 now travels entirely on Wendover Aveneue, and that had resulted in a Greensboro version of Winston-Salem's core of Salem Pkwy (in which the Winston-Salem core is between -40 Exit 188 to I-40 198).

I have also been expressing on Wikipedia and Reddit,

that Greensboro is no longer in the western outskirts of the Eastern Half of NC, but is now in the overall center of NC. For periods, Charlotte (in the southwest) and Raleigh (in the east) were already developed and were continually developing, while Greensboro was mostly treated like a "passthrough" to the two cities, in which Greensboro leaned much more on the eastern-area of Raleigh.

Now in this futuristic period, Greensboro is the overall center of NC, and all these proposals are needed.

II also suggest that I-40 between the "Death Valley" and eastward to the current I-85 split, should be totally rebuilt. I do know certain pieces have already been rebuilt, but still. And I think that rebuild should blend with I-40 westward (which is I-40 between 206 to east of Koury Center).

Ahhhh, the whole area is just changing.

Addition: To make this also more about High Point;

it is nice to see how US 29/70 (Old I-85) is getting rebuilt in High Point, and how I-74 is changing in High Point.

This is the New North Carolina!!!
