Hey Hickory friends, where can a Bears fan catch a game on tv? Kickback Jack's isn't it, and BWW was a miss too. Any REAL sports bars, showing ALL the games?

Community Connections Recruitment for UNC Greensboro Tweens on Screens Research for North Carolina Families

Post image
1 Upvotes

Do you know any parents of 10-12 year olds who live in NC? The Tweens on Screens project, led by researchers at UNC Greensboro, is studying how kids ages 10–12 use technology in daily life, and how parents guide them. By looking closely at these patterns, we hope to uncover what helps kids thrive, what puts them at risk, and how families can build healthy digital habits together. Our goal is simple: to give parents science-backed tools and tips for raising confident, well-balanced kids in the digital age (link in comments) #northcarolina

I have a wedding I’m attending on the 24th and the suit jacket I have is a little long/big. Anyone have any suggestions on a tailor? Would I even be able to get it done and back in time? Thanks!

The swimbeach at Wittenburg access. Has anyone here used it or know anyone who has?

5 Upvotes

I was over at that access the other day and happened to think about it. I drive across the bridge and pass it twice a day and I don't think I saw anyone out there all summer. I don't really recall seeing anyone use it last year either. When they first opened it I did see some people out there but it was only really weekends when the rest of the lake was busy. Just curious is all.

I didn't see them tonight, but most nights around 7 p.m. this time of year, you can go outside and see (and hear) the Canada geese flying south for the winter!

7Brew/Guthrie's joint entrance fiasco.

26 Upvotes

I have only been in the area a little while but in that time have seen 7Brew and Guthrie's open up to massive popularity. Which is fantastic, but idfk wtf whoever designed that to be the only entrance to both was thinking, it literally backs up into the road and mall entrance, feels like they both keep lines moving as fast as possible but that bottleneck at times seems dangerous and prob turns away some business as well.

Recommendations Help !! Who can shave my tire ?

1 Upvotes

Long story short, I recently had a front tire replaced on my Subaru. The Subaru is an all wheel drive and all the wheels need to have the same tread depth but, since the wheel is new, they don't.

I've called around and it seems like no one can shave my tire around here. Can anyone do this service? I'd hate the discrepancy in depth to turn into a thousand dollar issue.

Recommendations Lantern Festival (like in Tangled movie)

3 Upvotes

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knows of a floating lantern festival anywhere around here, Charlotte, or the mountains? I’ve seen the Chinese water lantern festivals but I reeeeeaaaaally would love to go to one where the lanterns get released into the air like in the Disney movie tangled. Has anyone heard of anything like that potentially happening this year?
