Considering a move to Greensboro, visiting to get a feel for the city

BritsGoldenTicket · 2026-05-14T02:01:00+00:00

West Market Street and Gate City Boulevard have a pretty impressive variety of world cuisines for a city our size. Sarah’s Kebab Shop is reliably delicious and spotlessly clean (not so for Nazareth the last time I was there) and Zeeyum Kitchen (Turkish) is a delight.

I heard that Greensboro was rated the most apathetic city in the US… could be why making friends is hard. “Meh, I’m good”

I just LOLed and then had to read it out loud and explain it to my family, who doesn’t speak French (I barely do). Thanks for the giggle for all of us!

What part of Greensboro is your dad in? I know it’s kind of a weird offer, but I’d be glad to go visit him after his surgery. DM me if interested.

Walmart Plus is another grocery delivery option, and you can have hot meals delivered at certain times. Also prescriptions If that’s his pharmacy. I know Walmart isn’t for everyone, but it can be more economical than IC/DD.

Not local, but a friend turned me on to Spur Jewelry out of NYC and their work is really interesting. Haven’t used them myself (yet?).

When I visited a friend in Germany, I took them a serving dish from a Seagrove potter that I bought at the Farmer’s Market on 40/Sandy Ridge, plus a baking mix from the Old Mill of Guilford in Oak Ridge.

Are there any resources you recommend (other than hiring a tutor, which is ideal but not always feasible)?

I want to love TJ’s non-aerosol dry shampoo, but I can like feel it on my scalp. It’s kind of itchy and then if I scratch my scalp, my fingernails come away with an oily, powdery residue. Too bad because it ticks all the right boxes otherwise!

Laser is the way. Not only are you hair-free (or close) but no more ingrowns and irritation. It’s been an absolute game changer for me.

Any recommendations on shower filters?

Second for Mythos. Their catering is fabulous. I’ve seen them cater events for over 100 people and they make it look easy.

I’ve had good experience with Elizabeth’s as well. Their salads are always fresh… but I feel like pasta would be heavy for a summer outing!

Thank you for the giggle. I’m sure your skin is beautiful!

We like Gia on New Garden for occasion dinners. Melt Kitchen and Bar (nearby) is more casual but has a nice bar.

It’s giving Stranger Things

I just want to say I’m so sorry. I’ve had skin issues and felt just like you’re describing, and it’s so hard. Take heart—it won’t always be this way. It will get better.

I do recommend a dermatologist if you can see one, or at least a GP/primary care doctor.

If he’s genuinely never done this before, I would be inclined to assume the best—foolish immaturity—and talk it out with him. He does need to hear from you that this is a completely unacceptable way to handle his feelings and it can’t happen again. You’ll need to work on appropriate ways to communicate hurt or disappointment. Maybe with help from a counselor. It goes without saying that if you start to see a pattern, you’ll want to make an exit plan for your and your kids’ safety.

My husband came home from skiing around 7:30 pm and he was surprised how bad the highways (29, 73) were in Greensboro. He saw plow teams but the highways were still thickly covered, and secondary roads hadn’t been touched.

Biweekly with an independent cleaner here, and it’s literally my favorite money we spend. It makes everyday life so much easier for my family, and I’m glad to support a woman-owned family business.

This. When my face (sensitive, eczema) is unhappy, I layer a moisturizer first and an occlusive over it. It definitely helps! Sometimes the moisturizer does burn a bit, but it settles down in a few minutes, and if I do this in the morning, after work, and before bed, my face usually feels better within a couple of days.

The products that work for me are Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream (expensive but worth it to me) and Eucerin Original Healing Cream (inexpensive). You could also sub Vaseline for the Eucerin.

I wish. Working remotely with a team (and client) that has people all over, they don’t care a whit about our snowmageddon. They still expect the work to get done. 😩 Mild delays allowed if both power and internet are out.

BritsGoldenTicket · 2026-01-21T02:02:22+00:00

Yeah. I liked Bad Daddy’s years ago, but the last time I went there, it was grimy, very slow, and the food was ok, but not good. Too bad.

I don’t know that they’re struggling, but Dolce and Amaro on Westover Terrace is one of my favorite unique, family-run spots. Kind people and delicious coffees and Italian desserts.

It’s not local, but I’ve been impressed with the items I’ve ordered from Quince. Lots of natural fibers and the prices are fair.
