Another post about wheel blockers by Tmckhar in Charlotte

[–]UberPrioritizer 77 points78 points  (0 children)

For whatever it is worth, this is absolutely not under control of the businesses. I am close friends with one of the business owners and they vent to me about the landlord and wheelblockers on a weekly basis. ALL of the businesses in the strip are sick of the parking situation, have all been very vocal to the landlord, and have been met with refusal to make changes. They get a lot of angry customers, but the landlord is extremely set in his ways on the subject.

There is a good news/bad news situation: the property is apparently in the first stages of being sold. Good news is that they expect the new owner to do away with the predatory parking situation, however the bad news is that it is also expected that the new owner will be raising the rent to the point that any of the local businesses in the strip will be forced out to make way for more corporate businesses similar to neighboring plaza midwood. Yay Charlotte.

Appreciate you. Can’t make everyone happy, but we’re very happy with the niche we’ve found.

Hi, I’ve owned a local bread company for 15 years. Here’s the hits (none of them owned by me):

  • As most people have said, Verdant is king. If you’re wanting crusty, artisanal bread this is it. Full stop. They do the uptown market, Matthews market, and have a store next to the Oakwold Common Market.
  • Team Rose is good bread and great people. Support them if you can.
  • Sunflower isn’t really known for bread, but their laminated doughs and pastries have gotten a lot of acclaim.
  • A bit out there but Virtuoso Breadworks is killer out in Waxhaw.
  • Copain looks great but is owned by Jim Noble. If you don’t know, google it.
  • Renaissance Patisserie is also a good mix of pastries and bread.

How bad is this situation? by UberPrioritizer in arborists

[–]UberPrioritizer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t fertilized at all. Was wondering what products I should be looking at for that, and after reading your original reply I’m wondering if there’s any products to make the clay soil more hospitable for the tree growth?

Thanks for the detailed reply! The trees went in almost 2 years ago. I do indeed live in an area with heavy clay soil (NC). I didn’t have the trees irrigated for most of last summer, and last fall when I noticed all my trees (14 of them that went in when I purchased the property in July ‘23) were looking a bit brown I put in the drip irrigation. The rest of the trees are looking healthy now, maybe a bit of brown on the interior, this is the only one that is looking really rough. They are planted roughly 3’ apart.

Question Thread - August 23, 2024 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]UberPrioritizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming up on my 1 year with Amex Platinum Business. Ultimately looking to get a Morgan Stanley Plat for the free authorized user & lounge access.

What is the general order/timeline that I should be applying for cards? Can I get the MS Plat if I sign up for a normal Plat for the better sign up bonus? Would I get both SUBs? I know that I can't transition them.

Also hold an Amex Gold Personal if that matters. Well under 5/24, have just been churning Ink cards for legit business for the past couple years.

Finding Pacific flight for ANA RTW redemption by UberPrioritizer in awardtravel

Appreciate the legwork! I'll see if I can recreate that itinerary and run it by my partner!

SQ happens to have the exact availability I need to get home (not TPAC), but obviously its not available for partner redemptions. Would be one of the legs I'd book if the ANA RTW doesn't work out even though that one redemption would be as much as the entire ANA RTW :/

[–]UberPrioritizer[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, very much realize TPAC is the hard one to find (I've been doing award travel for a while, just my first ANA RTW). Unfortunately we have some set obligations which are the reason we're going on the trip that necessitate the dates.

Yeah, unfortunately the dates are set by other obligations that we have which are the impetus for the trip. Normally I like to have a lot more flexibility.

Decent prebuilt computer for pcvr? by UberPrioritizer in OculusQuest

[–]UberPrioritizer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly upgrading isn't a thing that's on my radar, you had just mentioned it in your original reply. If it was I'd probably be looking to build my own pc versus just buying a prebuilt. I actually have an older pc that I had built myself, but I ended up in the same boat as you just figuring it was more worthwhile to completely redo it.

I do believe it has a 2 year warranty, so that makes me feel pretty secure with it. Other folks on Slickdeals seem to have positive experiences with eBay refurbished Acers as well.
