My starter bike was stolen, 11.30.24

I live off Reynolda Rd, Winston Salem. Sometime today my first bike was taken from me, between 11pm last night and 10am. If anyone has seen this little dude around or has any information, please let me know. I've been checking FB market places and Craigslist to see if anything pops up. If anyone has any recommendations of where else I could check, I'd appreciate any help that might get me back my bike.

It's a 2022 Grom with a Mitsubishi exhaust and like pink/purple sliders.

Indoor Places for Christmas Photos

Since it's going to be so cold outside for the foreseeable future, my family is moving our holiday photos to an indoor photo shoot. Any suggestions for places indoor with a really pretty christmas feel? Preferably free to take photos or fairly cheap :)

Grandfathers RjR Collection

Here's one corner. Won't let me add more than 1 pic. It's all on a auction website if anyone is interested. Not my decision but more than welcome.

Searching for commercial space/bay rental

^(Are there any business owners/mechanic owners in particular with an additional bay for rent on a monthly or per use basis? Or, any smaller commercial buildings with a bay door available. Realistically need as little as 400 square feet in a garage/bay setting. I know this has been asked, but wanted to open this up again. Thanks for any and all leads!)

Looking to buy bulk herbs

Hey all, Long story short my wife has some health issues and has to convert from lifelong coffee fanatic to low acid herbal teas only.

For Xmas I got her a hot/iced tea maker and I am trying to get a bunk of bulk herbs so we can come up with cool recipes for teas.

Just wondering if there are any places in NC, preferably anywhere between Asheville and Raleigh, that sell bulk herbs.

Example of what I'm looking for:

  • chamomile
  • roobios
  • lavender
  • rose petals
  • licorice root
  • marshmallow root
  • ashawaganda

House cleaning service recommendations?

I’m wanting to gift my wife a one time deep clean of our house from a professional service. This is something she’s mentioned a few times this year so I thought this would be a good time to make it happen. I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations on a service or experience giving this type of gift. Ideally I could a gift card or something similar.

Thanks in advance!

Mechanic/handyman for hire!

Hi again! Reposting just so anyone who didn’t see it might! Looking to get some work done this weekend and next week! I’m sure someone here needs some work done!

Anyways! Hi! I live in downtown WS and by trade, I am a mechanic! I specialize in Nissan and any other Japanese brands, although I can work on anything! Times have fallen a little hard and I’m short on some bills, looking to make up for that! I can perform nearly any vehicle service, mobile. I’ll come to you! Be it repair, diagnostic, or maintenance I’m ready to take care of your issues cheaper than any shop around here! I can also do lawnmower and small engine repair!!

Beyond that, if you need help moving, with yard work, or anything around the house (hanging a tv, replacing an outlet, etc.) I am your man!!

Any support is appreciated! I’m willing to travel anywhere within the greater Winston area. Just shoot me a DM if there is anything I can do for you!

Thank you for reading!!

Hi everyone!! I hope you all had a day filled with laughter and love. I have a ton of extra food left from Thanksgiving dinner - turkey, mashed potatoes, rutabagas, Brussel sprouts, stuffing, mac n cheese, gravy, and rolls. If anyone out there did not have a chance to celebrate, want an extra plate, or are just going hungry and would like a hot home cooked meal please message me and I would be happy to make you a plate! (I am happy to accommodate for allergies or preferences)

Included a photo to give you and idea of the amount of leftovers, all of this was for 2 people😳

Christmas tree farm in the area that delivers/sets up?

I’m coming off a surgery and unable to pick up/set up a tree like I usually do. Does anyone know of a farm/lot in the area that will deliver and set the tree up? Ideally they’d wrap the lights too, but I should be able to do that part if the cost would be a lot more for that level.

Ideally I’d like a lot where my kid and I could pick out the one we want on the lot, and then they can deliver it.

Any suggestions?

Anyone familiar with Patterson/27th Street Area?

I KNOW it’s not a “good”part of town, which doesn’t bother me. I’m touring a house soon that I absolutely love. I’m just wondering if that specific area is horrible, or if it could be reasonably safe if we keep to ourselves and don’t walk around/explore the neighborhood. Also how loud are the trains in that area when you’re inside? We’re really excited to move to the area in the next couple months, just have some big decisions to make when it comes to housing.

What to do in the area for Thanksgiving when you have no family?

Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do tomorrow when you don't have family to go see? I'm 19 and was kicked out(and then removed by CPS because of abuse) super young so since getting a place w my partner I really would rather not go see my family.

Free mental health support for all teens in NC <3 (sponsored by NCDHHS!)... one last post!!

Want to send one message before the holidays since I know how stressful of a time this can be for some.

You might have seen my previous posts, but I’m a student ambassador for Somethings - a state-endorsed, 100% free mental health service for teens exclusively in North Carolina. We connect teens with trained young adult peer specialists who can provide guidance, empathy, and mental health support during tough times.

I'm trying to reach as many parents and teens who might benefit from additional support as possible especially in the wake of Hurricane Helene, especially those navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, etc. Here's where we're mentioned on the NCDHHS (North Carolina Department of Health + Human Services) site (check the second slide of the carousel!!), and additionally here's our website outlining our partnerships with the state: www.somethings.com/northcarolina

Please feel free to DM me if you have any questions or you can sign your teen up at our site if interested! Also, HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone!!

Looking for friends / social group

33m I’m moving back to Winston (grew up here) after a long term breakup recently (tough) and don’t have any friends in the area. Looking to find some cool people to hangout with and meet.

Space for Board Games Where You Can Bring or Buy Alcohol

We just need an open space. We definitely have house of cards as an option, but without the alcohol. Anyone know of some other good spots?
