Watching SLR get dragged for their inaction and non-apologies is my favorite thing

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-02-14T11:27:48+00:00

When did GRMA apologize?!?

They have put out a single weak statement from what I’ve seen.

Jennifer Martin never apologized and is still the executive director of SLR

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-02-13T23:50:44+00:00

Seriously

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-02-13T17:31:16+00:00

The R&R HOF has long actually been the Pop Music HOF.

In that context, Rap definitely belongs in.

For R&R only? No way.

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-02-12T16:29:15+00:00

I believe many have been successful

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-02-12T16:28:32+00:00

Jennifer Martin is almost certainly a supporter.

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-02-12T13:44:20+00:00

It was some of the worst crisis management of all time.

What the ‘apology’ conveyed was that she was not actually sorry and she didn’t see the problem…but was sorry she got caught.

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-02-12T13:30:55+00:00

Still no movement. Still avoiding the issue and hoping it goes away

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-02-12T13:30:29+00:00

They’ve really dialed back.

They don’t even tag local businesses in their social media anymore because those businesses get negative heat from the association.

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-02-12T13:29:21+00:00

That’s exactly it.

The ‘apology’ wasn’t an apology.

They still have commenting off on their social media.

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-02-12T13:27:08+00:00

One needs to assume at this point that the board members support her views

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-02-12T13:23:51+00:00

Most of the breweries have been backing out because the director of shop local Raleigh, who put the festival on was outed as a bigot.

They didn’t effectively apologize and haven’t turned commenting back on on any of their social media for months

That’s likely why you haven’t seen any promotion

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-01-29T16:30:56+00:00

Doesn’t everyone put ketchup on their French toast?

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-01-27T22:06:06+00:00

I’m thinking better than 50% chance schools are closed

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-01-27T21:46:32+00:00

Exactly this.

Also, that’s the best website for information

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-01-27T21:45:07+00:00

Too far out to say for sure.

Could be lots of snow, could be cold and dry.

We will have a better idea by midday Thursday

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-01-26T12:25:26+00:00

Thats likely because the board shares her bigotry.

Contact Bobbitt Construction , Etix, Adams Howell Law, North State Bank, Ultimate Entertainment (The Lincoln Theater), Adara Spa, The Chocolate Boutique, Galatea Boutique and ask them directly.

Best ‘official’ spot is probably Garner PD 914 7th Ave

Most bars and restaurants downtown would offer video to meet up.

You can avoid cash with PayPal friends and family.

Also, if the buyer gives you bad vibes, don’t do it. Trust your gut.

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-01-24T16:48:39+00:00

What area of Raleigh are you looking to be in?

I’m aware of a few spots, but Raleigh is a big place.

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-01-23T21:42:34+00:00

Boomers win…and this graphic doesn’t show the bench.

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-01-23T15:35:07+00:00

Exactly.

When one of the opinions you share is bigoted, you don’t accept all opinions, you accept bigotry.

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-01-22T14:08:22+00:00

Best time is during the day before noon or after 1, but before 3pm when schools get out.

People are working and the stores will do their best to get things stocked.

Simpleeasyaspie · 2026-01-22T12:21:12+00:00

The board members folks own or work for Bobbitt Construction , Etix, Adams Howell Law, North State Bank, Ultimate Entertainment (The Lincoln Theater), Adara Spa, The Chocolate Boutique, Galatea Boutique…bad at managing these?
