What the heck happened at the fair tonight?

WSPD shut everything down at like 10:30, even food vendors, and were aggressively forcing everyone out.

Reasonably priced salons?

Please be nice as I'm a mom of 2 under 2, a little broke and completely strapped for time. I'm looking for a Solon or private stylist to do a cool gray root melt on my silver hair without spending $300, because I can't afford it on maternity leave pay. Any suggestions for under $200? I'm deeply sorry if this is an offensive question to any professionals! I usually do my own hair and haven't been to a salon in years.

Asheville Support Group?

Moved to Asheville about 7+ years ago from the Triad region and now I am back with loved ones while the water situation is figured out as it was no longer safe to be in our area. I know there are a number of people in the area sheltering as well as a number of previous transplants. I wonder if it would be possible to get some sort of meet up or get together planned where those who are here and feel lost or lacking community could meet with previous transplants or others to be pointed in the right direction about considering staying here or work assistance in the meantime. Could definitely help foster a better sense of community in both places.

Locating pals for our displaced pup

We are a couple from Asheville currently and hopefully very temporarily in W-S with family as we assess when and how we're going to return home. We have a really good-natured, well adjusted dog (Patrick) and we'd love to find some other well-socialized dogs for him to play with. We are staying in the West End area. Would love to meet some locals and get him out for some rec time.

Digital signage

Does anyone have any recommendations for digital signage? This is for a manufacturing company to show announcements, upcoming events, and such throughout the plant. I’d really appreciate the help!

Grateful and blessed for people's kindness in Winston

I was job hunting today going to restaurants and stores by foot and I just stopped by a restaurant I was applying to. I'm really surprised they offered me a drink and a sandwich to eat, deep inside my heart was melting from joy and gratefulness because earlier today I was having a dilemma if I should eat (because I never had time to eat breakfast) or have a bus home. Lol 🥹 that man had no idea how he saved me today. Also, I'm new in Winston and I didn't know where the bus stops were and it was so unfortunate my phone died since my phone is so crappy and old it dies at 20% I went all over the mall to find a receptacle to charge in, no luck. I asked from a guy in the middle of the hanes mall, the small stalls at the ground floor if i could charge my phone on his wall there 🥹 he kindly let me charge and it helped me search for a bus stop to go home 🥹

I just wanted to share how grateful I am for the kind people who helped me today. I feel blessed. You'll never know how a little bit of kindness touches lives 🥹God heard me today 😭

Dog dumped in WS

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/jtDk5vMPMk9wNQAW/?mibextid=K35XfP

Found this on WS Facebook page saying this guy dumped his dog.

I hope the dog gets somewhere safe, but people who do this should face serious charges.

Has any one tried the Clean Eatz meal subscription thing?

I saw a brochure at a local store and the meal subscription thing caught my eye. Prices seem really reasonable.

Has anyone been here or used this?

New to WS

Hello, let me start by saying im sorry if this kind of question gets asked in this sub super often. I’ve been living in Charlotte for almost 3 years, and am relocating to the WS area for work. I went and viewed a house today that I quite liked, but when I went to check this sub/google to make sure the area was safe, I got mixed reviews. It is fairly close to the intersection of N Cherry St and Reynolds Blvd. The area looked nice enough when I was there but have seen some people saying north Winston is hit and miss. Any insight on this would be super appreciated!

Considering relocation from AVL to Winston

Hi! My husband and I live in Asheville and we are unfortunately going to have to relocate in a few weeks. We just spent a few nights in Winston when we evacuated and really enjoyed it. Everyone was so good to us. We are both bartenders and I’m hoping to reapply to my program at Forsyth. I would be grateful for any and all advice.

Gas shortage?

I'm flying in next Tuesday to visit my son and renting a car at the airport. Are y'all experiencing gas shortages after the recent weather and with people going bananas after the port strike?

Our grocery stores here are being wiped out because folks are nuts.

Knitting/crochet/crafting circles?

I'm young-ish 30 y/o and have been looking for creative groups for knitting or crafting and haven't found anything.

My old knitting circle) surprisingly mostly young people) would knit at bars or coffee shops. Is there anyone that organizes anything or would want to be part of a creative circle?

Trick or Treating in NC

Can anyone tell me about the trick or treating "rules" in NC?

I'm originally from NY and we used to walk our neighborhood and ring doorbells, and almost every house had candy - but I was talking to a childhood friend who has been living in NC longer than I have, and she said it's not really like that here. She mentioned that not all neighborhoods are open to trick or treating and there are some weird rules/laws? This is the first year my husband and I are in a house and there are tons of kids on our block (a dead end) so we were looking forward to giving out candy! Are we out of luck?

In Need of a Toyota Mechanic

Have a 2015 Camry without air. All it seems to need is Freon however we have been told that A/C control modular inside the car controls that function? Does anyone have a good Toyota mechanic that is reasonable? Would appreciate the help

Good alternative haircut?

As the title says I kinda want to get something more on the alternative side of things for my next haircut. I’m not too worried about price, but quality of service instead. I have pretty straight hair for context so don’t have to worry about curls or anything. I’m also a trans dude so I’d prefer a trans friendly place, but I assume most places for alt haircuts would be. That being said the haircut would also be more on the masculine side as well. I can go as for as Greensboro. I’d love if anyone had any recommendations!
