CharMeck Alerts called my house at 1:36am? How do I disable this crap?

I just got woken up by a LANDLINE/home office call from CharMeck Alerts about a fucking missing person/amber alert. How do I disable this that NOBODY signed up for?
Calling 311, at 1:36 in the morning, obviously resulted in the system telling me they're not in-office.

Thanks for a great weekend!

This is late as we were there last weekend. We came in from New Orleans to visit our daughter. We went to the Saints game and had a great experience! Except for the loss haha. I loved being outdoors in perfect weather. The fans were so fun! And the corgi halftime show was the best! Great meals at Noble, Mama Ricotta, and Fin & Fino. Mostly I love that my kiddo is thriving in such a great city! Thank you, Charlotte!

Degenerate/ sports friends

Recently graduated, moved to south Charlotte, and I don’t know too many people. I know the common advice is to join rec leagues and groups for singles but I have a gf and Im too tired after work for sports. Anyways im just looking for guys who want to drink beer and talk sports, some guys who are borderline addicted to sports gambling. I don’t have it in me to go to a bar alone, how and where do I meet these guys?

Soccer options for 7yr old girl

Hi, my 7yr old daughter has expressed interest in playing soccer. She has never played before. She doesn't know the rules or anything. We live in south Charlotte and I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for a place that would help her learn the game and be a positive environment for her. I feel like everyone plays it younger and I'm just worried she may feel in over her head.

Power outage in Ballantyne?

Anybody know what’s going on? There are sirens all over the place, and 700 households are suddenly without power. Would love some insight if anyone has it, my wife is unnerved and deals better with more info.

Best chicken fajitas in Charlotte?

What’s the best chicken fajitas that you’ve ever had? Like heaping piles of steaming hot steak and/or chicken and veggies in those cast iron dishes… with loads of the flour tortillas? What would you recommend?

Any good recommendations? Based on experiences

Any good psychologist or psychiatrist that specializes in social anxiety / depression that someone can recommend? What has been your experience like with them / how has it helped? I moved to Charlotte 2 years ago and have refrained from getting some help and I want to change that

I wanna get some help before it eats my youth away.

Bike Group Rides

Might be a long shot but hey, why not. My girlfriend and I were riding our bikes earlier today on Little Sugar Creek Greenway from Freedom Park to Pineville. On our way back, near Freedom park around 1:15 pm, we ran into a group that seemed to just be leaving for their ride. They asked if we would like to join but we were wrapping up a 16 mile ride. Would love to know who that group was. They seemed like cool people and would love to go a group ride with people like that!

Best Live Music Bars

I'm looking for any solid bars with fun live music tonight. I like the hole in the wall places more than anything else. I'm down with any kind of music but was thinking it would probably be rock or metal. Feel free to shout out local shows/bands too.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Subs by Reedy Creek Park

Looking for subs by Reedy Creek Park. Going to meet family as they drive through. Where can they stop if their route is I/85? Looked at Publix but it looks like they’d need to drive one direction just to come back again to meet at Reedy Creek.

How to get involved and make Charlotte a greener city?

Hi everyone,

As we are poised to enter a new presidential administration which will likely see sweeping damage done to climate protections across the US, I want to do my part to preserve biodiversity and advocate for wildlife and the environment by whatever means are available to me.

Where is a good place to start?

Are there local climate advocacy groups I could join?

Does anyone know the best way to go about advocating for implementation of more sustainable architecture in the city?

Would love to get more advice, and if anyone else is interested in joining the fight, would love to group think how to be as effective as possible.

Grateful for any suggestions!

A bar that serves a real Orange Crush?

Curious if anyone knows of a bar or restaurant in the Charlotte vicinity that serves a REAL fresh squeezed orange crush (yanno, akin to what you may find at any and every Maryland alcohol serving establishment). Brownie points if you can watch the bartender crush the orange with a legit metal squeezer in real time.

PSA - an orange crush is NOT orange juice and vodka. That is a screw ball. Please stop the false advertising.

Thank you!

Roof Above on Statesville

Is anyone familiar with the help the give for long term housing?

A coworker told me they help you find housing as long as you have a stable job, which i do. He said ypu pay rent for 10 months before the lease end and will give you x amount of money to go towards a deposit for your own place. I would like this option, but i plan on joining the army (hopefully) by January.

Every time i go there, theres a long line which i presume is for meals. Yesterday I went, i waited 30min and the line didnt even move. I dont want to wait just for a simple question. I did ask for my coworker to have his case worker call me and he said i would have to go to the office.

Is any familiar with this? Would i be able to get a place if i will just break the lease in a month or 2?
