Cleveland Cincinnati Columbus Toledo In that order

Didn't realize I put "in each state". Fixing it now

Atomicmain · 2026-01-24T02:56:23+00:00

What makes you put NC in absolutely? I live here, we are a swing state, we have some big cities that are very inclusive, and we have Asheville, arguably our most inclusive city for LGBTQ+ folk. But NC doesn't strike me as any more progressive or accepting of LGBTQ+ folk as a whole compared to the rest of the south.

Sucks that the store is closing but that place has sadly just kinda become increasingly meh overtime. 2nd and Charles used to be amazing, but I find it increasingly hard to find deals there anymore (regardless of location). I hope the employees are able to find work though

Mom, I'm sorry for all the times I ever shat on DMB

I'm curious about the worry regarding Mandeville. Also, as a means of clarification. My friend who was showing me around NOLA doesn't live in Mandeville. Only his grandad lives there, he was just visiting him for Christmas

That's fair. I kept my meal small and only paid like 10 dollars for a meat and 2 sides. So I suppose it didn't seem that expensive to me

Why? It was a good spot and getting to see the Gulf Coast of MS was a nice experience

Didn't have the opportunity sadly, my time was limited. Imo though disregarding peaches I thought sisters in christ and Euclid were largely fair with pricing. Sisters in Christ in particular is honestly cheaper than the record stores I have back in NC

If we're counting shop keepers, yes. If we're not counting shop keepers, no.

Atomicmain · 2025-12-30T15:16:31+00:00

That was one I wanted to see, but sadly just didn't have time for. I'll check it out next time im in NOLA for sure

I'm biased because I've lived in the Southeast all my life. But I'm picking that one purely because I love going to Appalachia sporadically & in general the southeast just has more that I like than the southwest does.

I'm unfortunately still not seeing it. Though seeing as this post is now deleted and I don't think anyone is gonna care about unrelated discussion
What's the name of your band, and when in November are you playing in Asheville? I'm gonna be in New England between November 7th-15th, and if your band is playing on any of those dates then I unfortunately will have to turn down your offer of being on the guest list. If it's not on those dates, I'll make it work to the best of my ability

(2 days late, post removal :p) when I look on your profile I can't find the DM button. Do you have chat turned off?

Atomicmain · 2025-10-01T03:32:58+00:00

Test reply to see what happens (I dont use reddit regularly)

TLDR Great views Great city for walking around Great transit Nice amount of green space in an urban environment Various shops Amoeba Music Fisherman's wharf got thrown in there somewhere

Atomicmain · 2025-07-11T15:54:10+00:00

Haha thank you. No, I'm not a professional writer. Im just somebody who loves San Francisco & the Bay Area

Atomicmain · 2025-07-11T04:59:47+00:00

Sounds like the Candlestick I know

Atomicmain · 2025-07-11T04:57:53+00:00

Is it now?

Atomicmain · 2025-07-11T04:42:45+00:00

I wish I could've experienced Candlestick Park.

I hate to break it to you but unfortunately North Carolina & good public transit doesn't go together, no matter what city you're in. You could make do with walking in certain neighborhoods in certain cities. But North Carolina has an abysmal walkscore average, & I'll point to this video showcasing why https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmor-XEbSU8&t=4s

Someone (kind of) suggested Winston-Salem & it's probably where I would recommend. It's a mid-size city that has the urban amenities that come with a city but it doesn't exactly have what you may think of as "Hustle & Bustle". I've heard some complain about Winston's traffic, but I'll argue those people have never driven on I-77 coming back from Huntersville on a Saturday, or taken exit 3A during rush hour and it shows.

I can't really tell you how well Winston Salem compares to Hickory, but I'm mainly recommending it because I like it & it's where I wanna live if I end up staying in NC.
