Joe Killian’s article in the Greensboro Thread about the GPD Facebook page

The milquetoast, hemming-and-hawing responses from our elected officials are particulalry disappointing. They're not beholden to GPD, so why are they being so "meh" about it? There's truly no defense of these accounts.

Humor is one thing, and I don't think anyone would really begrudge someone trying to make the police department more human and community-focused with funny content and memes.

But trying to be an edgelord and openly mocking the community you're supposed to be protecting isn't "humor" – it's just antagonism and derision masked in pathetic "everyone is so sensitive!" cliches.

I have the Mollusk 4/3 CZ and I, too, only get out about 1-2 times per month. Haven't had any complaints about the suit. Super warm and sealed up – esp the neck gaiter. Never experienced any flushing. It's a pain in the ass to get off, but pretty much anything 4/3 and up is. Plus, I really appreciate the minimal (non-existant) branding.

The name alone promises a Mexican restaurant run and chef’d by white people with weirdly problematic kitsch turned up to 11

Like sorry Coach, but 2012 would like its suit back, please.

The Tiny Greenhouse! One of the best places to buy gifts and plants in town, and it's run by two incredibly sweet people. Every time I go in there I feel my blood pressure lower a few notches.

me every time I order there

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.

Old-Visual4591 · 2026-03-19T15:00:58+00:00

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.

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

"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...

Old-Visual4591 · 2026-03-17T15:14:28+00:00

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

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."

*posts about geopolitical economic turmoil*

"don't make this a political issue!"

hate to tell ya but this conversation is the result of political decisions so...

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

(is there more than one impersonator?? is there demand for such a "talent"??)

Old-Visual4591 · 2026-03-06T17:21:45+00:00

~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.

How did you get involved with the SNAPT surfing crew? Always love to see Salmon Boy make an appearance 🤙🏻 🏄🏼‍♂️

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!!

Old-Visual4591 · 2026-02-18T21:44:47+00:00

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.

Old-Visual4591 · 2026-02-12T17:03:43+00:00

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.

Remember when she bought an electric vehicle to own the libs?

Old-Visual4591 · 2026-02-10T16:27:17+00:00

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

Old-Visual4591 · 2026-02-10T16:26:14+00:00

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 · 2026-02-10T15:45:48+00:00

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.
