5 shot at Leinbach park

Huge police presence, Robinhood is blocked and traffic is getting diverted. Schools on lock down, apparently all suspects are accounted for.

Google is not being helpful. Are there any of these nearby that are still in operation and worth a visit? Thanks!

Need help finding an event venue, any ideas?

We’ve hosted this same event for a couple of years now, but it’s gotten bigger than our usual spot can handle. Now I’m trying to find somewhere new that won’t feel cramped but also doesn’t feel too empty if we don’t completely fill it. It’s been harder than I expected to find something that fits just right. Does anyone have any event venue recomme͏ndations?

Neon lights, good people, Touch Tunes or country music on, and a good vibe. Anything like that around here?

Found dog around Barnes Rd

https://maps.app.goo.gl/wcVW5VNBb9RVphj77?g_st=ic

Found her late tonight (4/19 around 9:30 pm). Scanned her for a chip but didn’t find one. Please let me know if she looks familiar or if you know whose dog this is.

We’re going to bring her by our vet tomorrow to try to scan her again and see if maybe they missed it.

Thoughts on Chuck Hubbard?

Edit: and Cyril Jefferson

I live in WS proper, but I’m considering volunteering for their campaigns. How progressive are they? I’m seeing a more centrist view of immigration reform and ICE on Jefferson’s site.

Scam Contractor

There is a man going by the name of Gabriel scamming potential customers in Winston-Salem. He either takes the deposit/money for materials and never starts the job or starts the job, abandons it shortly after, and does not finish. He has stolen money from my father, who met at least three other people that he has stolen deposits between $10,000 and $30,000 from. We have tried to serve him but do not have an accurate address. If this has happened to you or you have any helpful info please reach out.

No water - Day 2

I live near bowman grey stadium, we had no water yesterday and the water company said an accident happened. Still at 8 pm nothing so we called the utility emergency with city link 311, got a ticket number and now the next day, still no water and the numbers we called just last night will not go through. The water company is closed. What am i supposed to do? No water for 2 days with kids and pets in the home. Also we haven’t had hot water since Monday and the gas guy was coming to fix their error Friday but couldn’t due to the water issue. But at this point id be grateful for any water. Someone pls point me in the right direction.
