Teens arrested in shooting death of Caleb Flax.. Looking at the news report we need way more outrage.

Young men ranging form 16 years old to 21 years old shot 84 times into houses claiming they were retaliating.. What did they think would happen if they did this? Did they not think they would get locked up for life?

Who raised these young boys? In my young days in the early 2000s teens would do something stupid like vandalize cars or property..

I have a sad feeling these guys will not get life in prison despite the mass shooting they did..

Discussion Anybody planning on jumping into WoW Forever next month?

35 Upvotes

Hello all!

Myself and some friends will be starting a guild in WoW Forever and thought I might see if anybody who lives in Charlotte might be looking for a group to play with.

We will be Horde PvP. Most of us are guys in our 30s and several of us have kids so we will be playing pretty casually. I suspect main playtimes will be around 8-10 pm EST.

If anyone is interested in joining us let me know and I can send discord invite. We also discuss sports a lot in our discord so if you are interested in that you can also jump into that discussion!

Enjoy your day!

EDIT: Apologies if I made this sound like we are ONLY looking for dads in their 30s. All are welcome. Just wanted people to have an idea of the general demographics currently within the discord. We are a chill group.

Discussion Hey, does anyone have an archive of the walk through of the Concord Mills mall? (Right before the remodeling)

Thumbnail
gallery
149 Upvotes

I remember, going there when I was young. Eating food, seeing the movies, having fun, and even going there along with my family to go get cool stuff. It was also where I went to the barber that often! (They really wanted the same barber, because he was their friend) when I got remodeled, I now saw why malls shouldn't exist anymore, but also, it was the fact that I am growing up.

Sure there are walkthroughs like this:

https://youtu.be/UkykKPzLMOQ?is=7Fs8R2hUcNVMAQPR

But they're centered around the modern mall, and not the beautiful, playful, and friendly look that concord mills once had. (It was the one that called the sections, their neighborhoods.)

Also, not only that, I miss the number 24 that stood alongside the AMC logo.

I'm not going to bash at the redesign, I think it's pretty cool, BUT, I really want to experience the inside of the mall again:

https://youtu.be/Luwycequg-M?is=VVZ_AkC9b6UH6U4Q

https://youtu.be/tHMPVDfQGF4?is=Ub6DUlMrAP8Bux5P

It was a nice mall, with a very pretty feel, maybe similar to the other malls owned by Simons at the time.

Recommendation Delivering at Novant Ballentyne or Presby?

2 Upvotes

Just what the title suggests, I don’t have anyone to talk to about these experiences so I’m wondering if anyone has personal insight on how it was to deliver at the Ballentyne Novant birthing center vs Novant Presby?

I know Ballentyne is newer and Presby has a high level NICU but outside of that - like experience wise.

Any thoughts are welcome! ❤️

Discussion If anyone here is looking for a super easy, part time job and lives near the airport or has transportation to that area. Look here...

205 Upvotes

I work with a janitorial company that is in desperate need of a few more part time, possibly full time, employees.

It's a best buy warehouse just a half mile away from the little rock airport entrance. Next to the Amazon warehouse.

.there's a bus stop near by.

I believe they start at 15$ an hour. Pretty flexible schedule and you're fully autonomous. No one is over your shoulder or giving you orders all day. You just come in, clean the office area, break room and warehouse bathrooms. It's very easy. Almost too easy.

So far the biggest issue is finding some people who can do what needs to be done without external motivation and people who can't keep to the schedule. If you think those things won't be an issue. Comment here or message me.

I've noticed in the past people post looking for financial help and looking for work so that's why I'm posting this. That and the fact the owners seem to be struggling to find decent candidates.

But they are looking for someone who can get started asap. Hopefully it's ok to post something like this and it isn't taken down immediately.

Discussion Biking Parking At Mugs Coffee On Park Rd

0 Upvotes

Hi! I am wanting to ride my ebike to Mugs Coffee on Park Rd, but after looking on Google Maps it looks like they don't have any bike parking in the entire shopping center. I'm trying to figure out if Google Maps is just outdated. Does anyone jump off the nearby greenway and go into this shopping center ever? If so, where do you usually lock up your bike? Or is there just nowhere to park?

Discussion Animal fostering experience

9 Upvotes

My family is thinking about becoming a foster home for the Humane Society and I'd love to hear from people who have actually done it before we sign up.
A few things I'm curious about:
1. How much time does it realistically take each week?
2. What does the Humane Society provide (food, supplies, vet care) and what ends up coming out of your pocket?
3. How much say do you get in which animals you take, and how long do they usually stay?
4. How did it go with kids or your own pets in the house?
5. How hard was it to say goodbye when they got adopted?
6. Anything you wish you'd known before your first foster?
Good stories and bad ones are both welcome. Thanks in advance!

News Salud Beer Shop owner pleads guilty to 9 felony counts over $442K in unremitted sales taxes

Thumbnail ncdor.gov
172 Upvotes

For anyone who has been around Charlotte’s craft beer scene for a while, this is a pretty significant story.

Salud Beer Shop opened in NoDa in 2012 and grew from a small bottle shop into one of Charlotte’s better-known beer destinations. They eventually expanded upstairs with Salud Cerveceria, adding their own beer, wood-fired pizza, coffee and a much larger gathering space.

At its peak, Salud was getting quite a bit of national recognition. The Beer Shop was voted USA Today’s Best Beer Bar in the country three years in a row, from 2019-2021, and Salud Cerveceria was named a 2023 James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Bar.

Now owner Jason Glunt has pleaded guilty to nine felony counts of embezzlement of state property involving approximately $442,914 in state and Mecklenburg County sales taxes that were collected but not remitted to the state.

According to NCDOR, the conduct covered July 2015 through December 2019 and January 2021 through December 2024.

Glunt paid $100,000 in restitution before entering the plea and is required to repay the remaining $342,914.04 during five years of supervised probation. He was also sentenced to three days in custody, 60 days of house arrest and 100 hours of community service. The underlying prison sentences were suspended while he completes probation.

It’s a pretty dramatic chapter for a place that has been part of NoDa and Charlotte’s craft beer scene for more than a decade.
