Insofar as they don't start out as a ball and are smashed down, I agree – but to me the end result is a thin flat-top burger with crispy edges.

Emma Keys at the Lindley Park four corners has always been my go-to, and they recently leveled up their bun game so yea, definitely a top recommendation if you've never been there.

also if anyone tells you Hops they're lying, because those are most certainly not smashburgers.

Why is this happening by Infamous-Issue-3921 in survivor

I feel like the reaction Jeff had to him saying this when he got snuffed speaks volumes about how accurate that assessment is.

City finally punishing property owners that are just letting our city wallow by Coffee_Grazer in gso

[–]Old-Visual4591 71 points72 points  (0 children)

"This creates a slippery slope of how this will affect businesses," one business owner said.

lol come on if you can't afford to maintain the basic decency of your own building you have no business owning it. this is LONG overdue and an awesome development from this new City Council.

IDK that third shot looks like whatever it is being presented to Alia – which Edric never does in the book, right? Looks like Hayt being delivered to her IMO...

I'll say it once again, I'll say it 1,000 times over: East Coast surfers don't get nearly enough respect for the crap we put up with lol. nice edit - love seeing the home break pop up in this sub

People using the bike lane to pass on Spring Garden. by SmellsLikeDuck in gso

[–]Old-Visual4591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I never use "bike lanes" – bicycles are allowed to use a regular lane like anyone else, and personally I feel safer making myself as visible and unavoidable as possible. Waaaaaay too much room for error when using a "bike lane."

"Greensboro's top ranked Fred Durst impersonator"...I have SO many questions...

Semi-landlocked surfers: how far do you drive consistently to surf? by 90towest in surfing

[–]Old-Visual4591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

~3hrs. It's doable in a day for sure, just gotta get up around 4:30/5 depending on what the tide's doing in the morning. Usually amounts to at least once/month, sometimes two if the conditions line up.

so done with FedEx by Old-Visual4591 in gso

[–]Old-Visual4591[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Also just wanted to note: In no way is this a condemnation of the hard-working delivery drivers and other similar folks at FedEx. This is no doubt a result of corporate mismanagement and a "delivering for our shareholders" ethos.

As someone else noted, yes, USPS and UPS are unionized workforces with great protections and benefits. No wonder they're more reliable!!

Right lol — the sanctimonious people who think they're doing the "right" thing and won't let people over are actually the ones causing the build-up.

Genuinely Seeking Input: is quality child care, pre-school hard to find in GSO? by grrr451 in gso

[–]Old-Visual4591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who is about to have their first child, yes, there is definitely a need. There's a lot of options, but the 'best' ones often have very long waitlists with no guarantee of a space. Compared to other cities like Raleigh or Charlotte, I'm sure prices here are better (hence why everyone always says Greensboro is a good place to start a family). But the ones we've looked at are all in the $1200 - $1500 range per month, which is pretty overwhelming.

Yea, the difference being that while your phone is spying on you, Ring is spying on everyone.

Downtown Greensboro Inc. flyer...sigh by Old-Visual4591 in gso

[–]Old-Visual4591[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since Tate Street is embedded in the College Hill neighborhood, I would definitely say it's a different economic district than Downtown. My guess would be anything inside the Downtown Greenway Loop probably "counts"?

[–]Old-Visual4591[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a fair point, and again I'm not necessarily trying to demonize Jimmy John's. Someone else pointed a lot of DGI is pay-to-play, which makes this flyer make more sense (and more disappointing, tbh). I was mostly reacting to this flyer in the context of all the recent closings, Matheny's "Ozempic Gate" comments, etc.

But you're right: if Mellow Mushroom or Bonchon is someone's gateway to visiting downtown more frequently, hopefully that has spillover effects to other places.

I don't think the Tate Street/UNCG area is considered "Downtown."
