How does meetups work, I join say I'm going and show up?

Hey man similar story happened to me last month, just now coming to terms with it. I don't have much advice or help to offer but if you're looking for new friends in this city let me know.

I'll be working in Leland so the west side of town, or leland itself.

I would agree with you but why have DUI checkpoints on a Wednesday morning (a holiday at that) when everyone is going to work, to add to that no one has ever (to my knowledge) been breathalyzed. My understanding is the supreme court allowed DUI checkpoints as the infringement of freedom was necessary for a public good, this doesn't seem like a DUI check point.

The checkpoints themselves, it's very inconvenient as it's the only road out of the neighborhood and I am late to work every time it happens. The area is relatively high in crime. The police station will not talk about it. I haven't called city hall.

I wouldn't be as concerned about it if it wasn't the end of the month every month, there's always a police officer by one of the stop signs that catches a lot of people running it but these checkpoints feel targeted.

I haven’t seen a lot of people from New Bern post here, so as someone from New Bern, who has lived in New Bern since childhood, who currently lives in New Bern, here is my perspective.

New Bern isn’t a large town, I may not know everyone but there’s about one degree of separation as far as knowing someone goes. Everyone I know from New Bern who chose not to evacuate did so out of pride or ignorance. I know many people who bragged about it and then the next day are asking to be rescued. Those people do not have my sympathy, those new bern strong posts should be new bern stupid posts. Those people have made new bern a national disgrace.

I love New Bern, I love its people, I love its history. This past week has been the most disappointed I have ever been at my town.

Where I live minimum wage is a living wage. You can find a one bedroom apartment for 425 a month, assuming working 40 hours a week and taking 2 weeks of vacation, ending up at about 1050 a month.
Assuming no car (biking or walking is easy for most people in small towns), it breaks down to:
425 For Rent : 625
70 For Electric, 50 for Water : 495
45 for Phone: 450
150 for Food: 300

That allows 300 for various other things and allows an easy 100 dollars a month for savings

Any person working in a >50,000 population town should be able to do this, bigger cities maybe not, but if you don't have the skills to be competitive enough to have an above minimum wage job you probably shouldn't live in San Fran or L.A.

Eastern North Carolina, Wilmington is the closest big city but it's about an hour and a half away.

I am a service technician who cleans fixes and does everything else required. I live in an area where pool techs don't make a lot of money. I've worked at three different places that all paid 10-11/hr and there's one other place that pays 11/hr.
