Dilworth grill.....

Dilworth grill.....

Good news, brownies are seemingly made on site?

Bad news, took a bite of the brownie, thought I tasted pasta. Spat it out and it was a singular noodle of penne.

Brownie was pretty good up until then.

2/5 experience

😭😭😭😭😭

Lunch specials?

Does anyone know which local restaurants have lunch specials? Like a separate lunch menu where it's cheaper to eat there than at dinnertime. I'm looking in the East Charlotte/Matthews/University area but I'm open to other areas for a good deal on good food :)

Flock Cameras

How do yall feel about flock Cameras? Do you know that they take down every single piece of info on you and store it in a data base that police have access too. They also have almost two pounds of copper in them.

I found a terrifyingly accurate 15th-century map of the Queen City at the bottom of Lake Norman.

Editor of The Charlotten here. I’m not here to drop another Preferred Parking scandal or peddle more feline apologetics today. I come bearing actual, historical news.

For the past few weeks, our newsletter subscribers have been following a developing saga.

While digging around in the radioactive silt at the bottom of Lake Norman looking for my dropped Costas, I struck a waterlogged, leather-bound cylinder. Inside was a fragmented, ancient cartographic record of our realm.

After weeks of grueling work in our subterranean restoration labs, and with the help of a world-renowned fantasy cartographer, the artifact has finally been fully restored to its original, vibrant color.

It turns out, the ancients knew exactly how chaotic this city is.

The map contains everything. If you zoom in on the archival photos, you can clearly see:

  • The inescapable asphalt labyrinth of The Vortex of Exit 3A.
  • The unholy, volcanic ash-clouds of Gast-Dür.
  • The barren expanse of The Pothole Wilds.
  • The towering Bass Pro Ziggurat and the Holy See of the Consumer.
  • The great southern migration into the Dominion of Ballantyne-Exile.

For everyone who constantly complains that Charlotte has no culture, this is the definitive, historically sound proof that you are completely wrong. Our people have a deeply rooted culture and history. We just haven't been willing to dig deep enough into the radioactive mud to find it.

We are more than just traffic and hazy IPAs. We are a resilient realm of banking clerics, gold-rush prospectors, and battle-hardened survivors of the 277 gauntlet.

And before you even ask: no, this map is absolutely not for sale.

As a strict preservationist, I believe it is deeply unethical to cheapen our local heritage with mass-produced commercialism. This artifact belongs in a museum. The link below is a strictly regulated archival requisition portal. It is left here solely for certified researchers, local historians, and dedicated patrons of the realm who require a museum-grade replica for academic study. Please do not attempt to access the requisition link if you are merely a casual observer looking for apartment decor. The history of this city is not a novelty souvenir.

It has been an epic, grueling adventure pulling this piece from the depths and fighting to restore it to its rightful glory. It nearly broke the archives, but seeing the true history of the Queen City finally documented like this... it was worth every second of the journey. I hope you think so too.

Yours in undeniable historical accuracy,

The Chief Archivist
The Charlotten

If you can’t drive the speed limit, stay tf out of the toll lanes.

That is all. Why are you paying to go 10mph below the general public lanes?

Keffer VW are professional, highly experienced scammers.

They act in bad faith and know exactly what they are doing. Everything is worded and structured in the sketchiest way possible to ensure they get away with it every time.

Customers are forced to accept a 'Protection Package' that costs $3,000. At first glance, it looks legitimate, but there is no contract and no service agreement. It is not mentioned in the Vehicle Purchase Agreement, it is not itemised in the Amount Financed, and it isn't documented anywhere in the paperwork. They only add $3,000 to the price of the car, consequently reducing your downpayment and increasing your interest rate, and customers don't even notice because they sign all documents on a tablet - ensuring you will only realise something is missing when it's too late and everything is signed.

They also don't let you choose a bank to finance, "don't worry we will find the best offer for you, we beat every bank", which turns out to be something like 21% interest rate.

Unless you are willing to pay $3,000 for insurance services that don't exist, an app that doesn't work, and three 4oz spray bottles, stay as far away from this place as you can.

Global Entry Appointment Help?

Does anyone have any tips on how to get a global entry appointment? I've been checking everyday and it looks like there aren't any appointments until after June 30th. I've even tried looking in Wilmington and SC and they're all booked too. Anyone have success lately?

Charlotte road rage survivor struggling financially during long-term recovery — looking for advice

I’m not really sure where else to ask this, but I could genuinely use advice from people who’ve experienced long-term recovery or financial hardship.

I’m a long-time Charlotte local and single mother. In 2024, I survived a severe hit-and-run road rage incident in Charlotte that left me with catastrophic injuries, including over 28 broken bones, nerve damage, weeks in the ICU, and a long recovery process learning how to walk again. The driver was eventually convicted, but there was no insurance coverage available to help with the aftermath.

For a long time, I avoided sharing my situation publicly while the legal case was ongoing. Over the past couple of years, I’ve mostly tried to survive quietly through savings, gig work, and pushing through recovery day by day.

But financially and physically, things have started catching up to me. I’m still dealing with chronic pain and mobility issues, my savings are nearly gone, and I’m struggling to maintain stability while continuing recovery and supporting my children.

I recently made a GoFundMe, but honestly I don’t really know how people in situations like this actually get their stories seen online without sounding like they’re begging.

I’m not directly asking anyone here for money — I’m mainly asking for advice:

- Where can someone respectfully share a recovery story like this?
- Are there organizations, local resources, or online communities that actually help?
- What helped you or someone you know get through a situation like this?

I’d genuinely appreciate any advice or guidance. Thank you for reading.

Tirade Tuesday! Let's Do This!

No introduction needed EXCEPT ground rules:

  1. No personal attacks - that's basic Reddiquette. Comments will be deleted and users banned.
  2. Vent, don't snipe. Go on a rant and get it all out. Comments like "Charlotte drivers suck" don't cut it; "Charlotte drivers suck because [insert 250-word diatribe here]" do. See this thread as a great example.
  3. Keep it civilized. These are our frustrations, often emotionally charged but often shared as well, so don't take a comment personally (if someone breaks Rule #1, they'll be kicked, so don't take the bait and get kicked, too).

Now let's do this!

P.S This is the TIRADE thread, where people are free to blow off steam without having to explain themselves. If you don't like someone's comment here, kindly find another thread to browse. Any comments challenging or harassing other commenters will be removed.

State warns I-77 toll project would lose funding if support is withdrawn

>In a letter sent to Lyles on May 15, Johnson said federal law would require the NCDOT to remove the I-77 project from the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program if local backing is pulled. The roughly $600 million set aside for the project would then be redirected to other transportation priorities.

>Johnson wrote that local transportation leaders could pursue a different version of an I-77 project. However, he cautioned that the state would have to restart the yearslong planning and environmental review process. A reworked project could still be eligible for state funding, he said.

>Meanwhile, Charlotte City Council member Ed Driggs, who supports the toll lanes, told WCNC that “conversations are ongoing” to persuade one council member to change their vote and reverse last week’s decision.
