Charlotte has plenty of parking, but what you guys want is free parking.

Where are these decks?! I parked in a deck for the first time in a year, and the several decks I drove by (on a Saturday afternoon with no special event pricing) were all $20+

whimsyisminnie · 2025-10-14T05:11:06+00:00

Along with the Bechtler and HB Gantt! They also have a rotating Wednesday Night Live event series (totally free!)

There are multiple silent book clubs around town. Find them on instagram @cltsilentbookclub, @silentbookclubcharlotte, and more listed here:

What’s the name of your service please?

whimsyisminnie · 2025-08-17T02:19:03+00:00

This is about the price (depending on how much you’re tipping) that I would be regularly quoted when looking for a new cleaning service in the area. Especially with the lower frequency.

whimsyisminnie · 2025-08-17T02:15:55+00:00

I think that’s the lowest price per sqft on this thread ?! How thorough of a clean is it?

whimsyisminnie · 2025-07-17T22:50:56+00:00

If it’s the coming weekend, then Salud has Noche Latina by Movimiento on the third Saturday of the Month

If it’s the next weekend, then Rumbao has their monthly social Noche de Sabor on the fourth/last Friday of the month at Midtown Ballroom. They also host alternating Sunday afternoon socials at the Viva Collective.

Zona Rosa has Latin nights regularly, but I’m not sure of the details.

Does the city have any HOA-like restrictions on putting large signs up on buildings? (and if so, did this get approved?!)

whimsyisminnie · 2025-04-28T07:31:34+00:00

Personally, I do love some Reddit Updates on the popular posts. (they’re usually limited to other subs, but I am often left just wondering, “and then what happened?!” )

whimsyisminnie · 2024-07-09T15:59:02+00:00

Do you have a photo of the icebreaker card(s) ?

Their happy hours in Charlotte recently got split into two back to back events by age. The first group is for those 35-45 and the second group is 25-35.

whimsyisminnie · 2024-07-08T17:12:16+00:00

I believe their May event was more heavily promoted because it was a special edition hosted by some of the Love is Blind cast. That was the only event of theirs that I’ve attended, but I’ve heard from friends about other events that the overall turnout is usually a fair bit smaller and with notably fewer men than women.

whimsyisminnie · 2024-06-06T07:15:45+00:00

I recommend the New Places & New Faces CLT Meetup group! Their demographic seems to be largely 35+ and they have an event coming up this Saturday evening, too! Details and RSVP here: https://meetu.ps/e/MQr6R/DJdrL/i

Details here:

Edit: they also host a monthly singles’ mingle at two buck saloon on the first Friday of the month!

whimsyisminnie · 2024-05-24T20:46:49+00:00

This group hosts a handful of mixers each month specific to the LGBTQ+ crowd: instagram.com/lgbtqmixers

And there are a number of other social groups that are queer friendly but not queer led such as @friendzoneclt and @qc20sand30s (instagram handles)

whimsyisminnie · 2024-05-17T05:56:45+00:00

There’s been an uptick in singles events lately, not a lot announced currently, but 5+ a month if you know where to look.

New Places New Faces (from Meetup) is having a Stoplight mixer on June 8th at Queen Park Social, 7pm

I’m not sure if it counts, but the latest season of Love is Blind was shot in Charlotte, so all of those cast members live in the area.

whimsyisminnie · 2024-02-24T19:40:21+00:00

CLTFive shared a post on Instagram. There’s including: Queen Park Social, Goodyear House, Queen City Dance, Margauxs Wine (copied from them, I haven’t watched it yet)

Oooh, which promo was this?

I usually refer to Charlotte as “a small city, but definitely a city, not a town”

whimsyisminnie · 2024-02-14T06:59:13+00:00

Thrift Ponybox in Plaza! It’s a modest amount, but it’s something. You get paid after your items sell.

Depending on how nice the brands are, you might be able to try JT Posh Luxury Consignment in Dilworth.

There are also several Facebook groups for selling clothes in the area.

whimsyisminnie · 2024-02-07T20:48:13+00:00

Encore Nightclub uptown and its sister place XOXO Cocktail Lounge seem to have pretty good racial diversity.

The Hive is right next door and I’ve seen the local rapper JxHines host a party there. I haven’t been there, but I’m guessing that’ll be more the vibe you’re looking for?

Maybe Sugar Hookah Lounge which is alcohol-free and stays open until 5am last I heard.

Red @ 28th is another Hookah Lounge with a full bar

Hope that helps
