A friend of mine is about to be homeless. He has made some mistakes in his life but is trying to get back on his feet.

He had a judge tell him he will never get his license back, so he has no transportation and he just got out of jail on bail for failing to pay child support and missing a court date. He is about to get kicked out of his house (can't afford rent and has been in jail for 2 months and landlord let him move back in but he still can't pay) and his power got cut off yesterday. He went to every walkable business within his area to ask if they are hiring and they will not take him in. He is mid 40s and in great shape and looks presentable for the most part.

Looking for any advice, programs or resources that may offer work that also provides transportation and possibly housing.

He is great at landscaping, labor, manufacturing, car maintenance, etc and would be willing to do anything at this point.

Any information will help, just trying to give him any resource because I really don't know what people do in these types of situations.

I'm 18 I work hard and can take on any hours, I live in Claremont but im pretty close to hickory. I really need a job as I've been skating by with freelance work, if there are any employers or someone that knows a good place to apply please dm me or reply to this. Its hard to find a job in my area as I'm young and inexperienced so not many employers are particularly interested in my lacking skill set. I've been to cvcc took basic automotive mechanical engineering and automotive electrical engineering. I love cars im great with technology but I'm pretty much good for working anywhere with some training. Please help me out here internet.

Can anyone recommend shops for purchasing Delta 8 products? Now that the official number of options is one gazillion and six, apparently, it would be great to get some personal experience shoutouts.

Thanks!

My mom got a Chihuahua puppy at a flea market in Hickory in ‘20, I now have the dog. And he’s awesome and I would like to get another from the same person but idk where to start to try to find the breeder (BTW I live in a different state). Any suggestions?

Hi,

I am moving to NC from Texas for my job in the first week of January. I have a Texas driver's license. My employer said I would be posted in Hickory, NC for a few months and then be asked to work in Clover, SC. Now, both towns are about 60 miles away and close to Charlotte. They are near the border between NC and SC.

I am still not sure where am I going to stay. Given the short period of stay in NC, I don't think I will get a place with a short-term lease so I was thinking of staying at an Airbnb but I wouldn't be able to get a driver's license with that.

Getting a 1 BHK might not be pocket-friendly to me since I am just starting to work for the first time after college. Gotta pay off that student debt. So preferably a 2B2B or a 3B3B. I am looking to pay somewhere around $1000/ month for the rent. Where do you suggest I look for an apartment? I would prefer a friendly town/city, with a low crime rate, and a good after-5 PM life.

Suggestions regarding anything will be appreciated. I may also need new friends in a new place. :D

Some of the best EDM Dj's in the NC/SC area. We all just happen to live within driving distance of Lincolnton and use this venue occasionally as a favor to its owners, to try and drum up local business. All of us have played up and down the east coast for years. I myself have had club residencies in Charlotte and have played events and clubs from Florida to Maine, with fans as far away as the UK and Nepal! The others have played clubs, raves and festivals nationwide, along with streaming music shows and one is even a signed artist with track releases on Beatport! Should be an awesome night in an intimate setting with four world class DJs turning it out. A show you'd normally have to buy tickets for... but this one has no cover charge! Come out in support of a small local venue and get rewarded with a show you'd normally have to travel to Miami or Ibiza for!

I’m talkin Carolina style, grease and mustard stains on my shirt, guaranteed gonna have diarrhea type burger. I want a burger that’s gonna ruin my day and make me have to shower afterwards.

I’m trying to find where my friend is at, they said that they have a flea market that’s only open Thursdays and a Farmers Market on Saturdays that’s around the general area. Is there a place like that around here? Can be in the surrounding towns as well

New to the area. Can anyone recommend a trusty car repair place? Might be a transmission issue with my Mazda.

I would prefer to order a turkey (already smoked, roasted or fried) so I can spend more time with family. The restaurant I ordered a turkey from a couple years ago has gone out of business. I don’t mind driving to Charlotte or surrounding areas. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Hey friends,

Marketplace is FILLED with scams. I recently came into a laptop from a friend which is somehow a small upgrade over my current one. The one I'm looking to sell is a pretty high end laptop (3070 ti, i9 12th gen, etc...) and its like exactly a year old so selling it on marketplace feels scary as it is.

Does anyone know where in Hickory I can sell this for a reasonable price? I know of "itsworthmore" and a few other trade in websites, but I used that one on an old phone and it took a good bit of time. I had my girlfriend post it regardless to see what FB turned up but she's already getting blown up with "send me your confirmation codes" lol and she currently has it listed for like 150$ less than its worth on a lowball trade in website.

Thank ya!

Hi! I know this may be a weird request, but does anyone know anyone know anywhere close where I can purchase a gift for my mom to pet donkeys. She really wants to pet/interact with one for Christmas, but I can’t find anywhere around here. If anyone knows anywhere please let me know!!

Hey everyone! Longtime resident of WNC, looking for really good CPAs in the area. Anyone have any good recommendations? Thank you in advance!

I'm in search of a new bank that doesn't take my last $10 for their lousy non qualifying fee. I was about to go to the store and get my 3 children and myself a small meal until I saw my account have $2 left.

Peoples Bank has gotten awful and I'm just so ready to find else where to go. My account doesn't have the overdraft, but it will still go into the negative. I'm told it's still on my account, but everything goes through my card and not directly through my checking. Anyway, I just want a bank who isn't going to take my last little bit of money.

I’m recently single and trying to make myself get back out there. I’ve lost all my friends as well unfortunately, which makes it harder to get out and more difficult to meet people.

I was wondering, which bars in hickory would you recommend for a single girl in her late 20’s? My main concern is safety since I will be going out alone, but I do typically prefer less upscale bars and more just ones that have good music and make it easy to blend in a crowd. I’ve only ever gone to the bars in morganton so really have no idea about any in hickory.

Also if you’re a girl in your late 20’s as well pleaseeeee feel free to dm me and we can see about meeting and going out together!! I am so desperate for friends 😭

Anybody tryna go to charlotte this weekend? worked my ass off now I wanna get shitfaced.

looking for new friends to play catan with at the bar, message me if you’re interested!!
