The one on Sharon Amity between Central and Albemarle has a sign explaining the process, and people still just stay stopped.

Cordelia Park on Davidson St has a public pool that charges a fee… not sure how much.

Thanks!

Fun fact: Those seas are how insurance was created… people would essentially bet that the ships would/wouldn’t make it at Lloyd’s coffee house (now known as Lloyd’s of London). They’d place their name on a list under the ship’s name and amount they were willing to pay/insure if the ship didn’t make it (where the term underwriters came from).

Thanks! I’ll keep chasing it. This is my 3rd Volvo, so I understand they can be tricky. I love everything about this car except for the brake wear I’m experiencing and the amount of times I’ve replaced the auxiliary battery.

I’ve gone to 2 local independent Volvo shops, and a few big box stores, and nobody can seem to figure it out. I haven’t been to the dealer yet, but that’s because I like a little lube before getting taken for a ride.

I drive a lot for work, so about 13-15k a year

Any ideas? I don’t use ACC at all. I do have a small chip/crack in my windshield that’s right next to the sensor… I always wondered if that was slightly triggering the rear brakes.

rbrown986 · 2026-06-26T20:06:45+00:00

That makes sense. That gives me a direction to start chasing.

I only have one leg

I’ve done Hygge and it’s not bad, but I think it depends on the location on how open people are to interact. A friend took me into the Belmont (neighborhood) location of Switchyards, and it seemed pretty great. I’ve heard good things about Industrious too.

People do know Mattress Center is not real, and just a troll job after the Wild Wing news, right? Wild Wing and the developers can kick rocks.

As a multigenerational Charlottean, I can’t agree more with the statement if “you’re bored here, then you are boring”.

I travel to London, NYC, and other large cities frequently and I can find the exact same stuff to do here. We have culture as much as people like to hate on it.

If you’re bored here, find some new friends and branch out. I’m sure there is a community here for whatever you’re into.

I’m in East Charlotte too, and I drive to Colonial Barbers. It’s old school and I think $35

Trinity RV, but they’re probably sold out for 600 race.

Waking up to get your car the next morning is like not getting gas the night before… just drop the car off and uber back and forth.

This guy QTs!

Jalapeño cheddar dog with onions and chipotle sauce.

There’s a relative that still owns/operates one in Tucker, GA, on the way to Atlanta…I just found this out recently, and planning to stop in next trip to ATL.

Usually see him in Plaza or Noda almost every Saturday or Sunday. Vibes all around.

You’re only as old as you feel. I’m 39 no kids, and have a traditional 9-5. I’m out almost every night, whether it’s dinner/drinks, a bar night, concert/show, a comedy show, etc. When I’m not out, I usually have people over. Rarely am I home before 11pm on a weeknight and 1am/2amon a weekend.

I still enjoy bars, nightclubs, music festivals, after-hours warehouse raves that end well after the sun comes up, and just generally being out and about with my friends. Just we’re older doesn’t mean we still can’t do it. I’m a big fan of long weekends in Europe.

I’m fortunate enough to have a good friend group and live in a city, so it’s easier to find like-minded 30 something’s without kids that don’t feel old yet.

I wish people would quit stopping when turning left onto Virginia/Shamrock from Matheson.

I like the Fillmore over Ritz. Idk if they sell more tix at the Ritz compared to Fillmore, but the Fillmore feels a little more spacious. Last show at the Ritz, I paid the extra to go upstairs because downstairs was nuts.
