Hey Lexingtonites, I found a pup on I-85 near a Lexington exit. She's light brown with white feet, seems to be a pretty old dog. No collar, no chip, PLEASE let me know if you know anyone missing this cutie.

Some background. We don’t live in Lexington. We’re in rural W-S. Just moved in December and found out electric contract is with city of Lexington.

There are two people in our household and we are gone from 6:30am until nearly 6pm every night, for work. When we get home, it’s showers, cook some supper, a little tv or net surfing and were generally asleep between 9-10pm.

Got our first month’s electric bill recently and it was a whopping $240. Our bill with Duke averaged around $75. I know rates are higher now, but that’s not the problem. The problem is we were billed for 1800 kw hours. We generally have been averaging about 600.

Called the electric dept knowing this can’t be right. They gave me a song and dance about how the first week of January was exceptionally cold. It was. But what part of we’re only home and conscious about 4 hours a day didn’t she understand? There’s just no way I believe we used that much electricity.

I asked whether they were just guesstimating, but she claimed someone came out and read the meter. Did they? I don’t know.

Because this was our first month’s bill and they had nothing to compare it to, she said she looked at the previous tenants bill for the same time period last year and it was in line with theirs. Yes, but we’re not them. We work all day. They were apparently a group of barely 20-somethings who were home all the time. (They got kicked out for not paying rent).

I tried, unsuccessfully, to politely protest. We turn down the thermostat to between 66-68 when we’re not home, and again, we’re barely home. The most ridiculous thing she said to me was that well we leave our appliances running when we’re not home. Well, yes, the refrigerator stays plugged in all day (same fridge we had at our old rental, we own it), whose doesn’t? It’s not like previously we would unplug our fridge when we were gone for the day, so I don’t know what kind of point she thought she was making with that comment.

All in all, a very unsatisfactory conversation with the electric dept for a bill that seems way out of line.

Anyone have any suggestions about anything we could do? I’ve never had an electric bill this high and even when one of us was between jobs and we had a third person living with us.

I just don’t want to be stuck paying for electric that I know we’re not using.

Hey everyone-

I'm hoping the good people of /r/lexingtonnc can help me out with something.

About 10 years ago I was in Lexington for a visit and had a sandwich I've missed since that day. I recall going for breakfast/lunch to get one on a pretty regular basis while I was there over the course of a few months and I've been on a pretty consistent hunt for the location since then.

Google Maps and my addled mind have convinced me the location is Cagney's Kitchen off of 85/Fairview; and the route one would take to get there fits my memory moderately well. Research of their menu shows a pork tenderloin sandwich which (again) kinda fits what I remember ordering.

Questions:

1. Is this sandwich as notable as I think it is/has anyone had a better pork tenderloin sandwich in Lexington? Did Cagney's exist 10 years ago, and/or did it have another name?

2. Can anyone recall what is on the sandwich besides grilled pork tenderloin? I'm almost certain I didn't order it fried as I wasn't big on fried foods then (I know- I'm a bad person but I've since reformed). I'm a pretty prolific home cook so I'm hoping to recreate this to the letter and really want details- if there's a special mayo or aoli, that'd be perfect information, for example, as well as the bun/bread used and any toppings.

3. Am I crazy and is this sandwich something not out of the ordinary? If so, is it a local thing? Everything Google shows for pork tenderloin sandwiches involved a fried midwestern sandwich which, while fine, is not what I recall.

I appreciate any help you guys can offer. I've been lusting after this sandwich very passively for a decade and I'm not above making a trip up to see you guys if necessary just to try this thing again; but if it's possible to get the information I need remotely it'd be great.

It looks like the Board of Commissioners are seriously considering it.

I just moved to Winston-Salem, but work in Lexington. Figured it would be cool if we could get some conversation generated in this sub. Should we possibly even open up this particular for Salisbury / Albemarle / Mocksville, if its that the number of Redditors in this area is a problem?

I wish this Subreddit was filled with... stuff.

Just wondering if anyone in the Lexington area is going anything for the DDoS that reddit's pushing at the moment? It's on Saturday... I have plans that evening but I'd be down to volunteer somewhere during the day.

First
